The melting dashboard which causes a shine which reflects into drivers vision is a danger!!!! the fact that toyota allows this to go on, and does not remedy it for those that (for whatever reason) missed the notices sent out is a disgrace, and a danger to not only the driver, but everyone on the road!! how many people are still driving cars with this issue?? these are accidents just waiting to happen! my mother's car dashboard did not begin to "melt" until after the notices were sent, so she didn't think there was an issue with hers....surprise!!! it has now been going on for about 3 years or more. toyota only wants customer to pay for repair out of pocket. this will be the last toyota in our family!
Sun visor (passenger side) has rotated slowly downward blocking my view of the road. apparently the spring tension mechanism failed causing the visor to hang downward obstructing my view of the road. note: the sun visor and sun visor bracket was previously involved in a toyota warranty enhancement notice involving this same vehicle.
The sun visor dropped, blinding my sight while driving. this is dangerous and a clear safety issue. toyota had previously issued a warranty enhancement, but had said at the time that if the issue has not yet appeared, we should not do anything. now that the warranty enhancement period has expired, they are not prepared to do anything. this is a clear safety concern. a recall is warranted. not only is visibility severely impaired while driving, but also removing the visor exposes the driver to strong sun glares that make it difficult to drive safely.
Passenger visor not working
I bought my 2007 camry in 2006 and it has been great till the last 6 months when the dash board started to get sticky and is now fully sticky and glossy to the point where the sun reflects off it and is blinding. toyota said they had a recall which i was never notified. the address when i bought my car is the same in my driver's license and i never changed it. i live in buena park since 1991 and my drivers license has that address since i was 18 (18 years ago). i called toyota and they said the recall needed and its. ot their concern. i find it irresponsible that toyota takes no action for faulty manufacturing of their products and shifts the fault to the consumer when i had no idea there was any issues. secondly when they had the gas pedal recall i took my car in for maintenance and when i got it back they cut the pedal without my knowledge and said a replacement was on back order. i have since 2010 requested the replacement till 2011 and they always said it in back order. i gave up asking because i got ...
I purchased this car brand new from the dealer who registered it and gave me paperwork listing my address on all of the forms. i just recently found out that there was an extended warranty program for the driver side visor defect. i had been having issues with it for a few years but since i rarely drive during the daytime it wasn't an issue until my shift changed. so now it's broken and today, years later, toyota tells me that the warranty information was sent to an address other than the one i have lived since i purchased this car. since i didn't register the car and all of my paperwork had my then and still address on it, i feel that they should honor the warranty because they sent it to an address that wasn't mine. they will not give me the address but referred me to my state' dmv, who also will not give me this phantom address where my info was sent. colonial toyota registered the car for me so i have no idea what mistakes were made in the registration process and no way of getting the information. toyota is doing what all big companies ...

Ii have a 2007 camry that has a defective sun visor as it now hangs and obstructs my visibility. this is a safety hazard and i would expect toyota to honor it and fix it without charge to the consumer.
Takata recall sticky dashboard, can't see with a bad glare
Melting dashboard, sticky shiny and creates glare on windshield that is unsafe.
1. background the vehicle dashboard became "sticky" on or about june 12, 2018. the entire dash is now covered with a glue-like residue. the toyota warranty enhancement program (ze6) covering this problem expired on may 31, 2017. toyota has refused to replace the dash under the warranty program (toyota case #'s 1806131876, 1806210691). 2. safety-related issues a. on warm, sunny days in direct sunlight, the sticky dash has a very bright shine. the shiny dash projects a glossy, textured image of the dash onto the front windshield. this can occur when the vehicle is either stationary or moving. this condition impedes my field of vision and makes it difficult to focus and clearly see the road ahead, other vehicles, and pedestrians. b. during the summer season, interior car temperatures can reach between 130 and 170 degrees. what toxins are being released in the car interior from the interaction of extreme heat, uv radiation, and the glue-like residue? what are the short and long term health risks from inhaling potentially toxic air in a confined space while driving? summary because ...
The sun visor at driver's side has become detached. it can no longer be held it its position. please see picture attached. toyota had issued a recall on 08/01/2012 (details available at this link: http://media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/pol12-03.pdf), however, as per toyota, free repair/replacement is only applicable "7 years from the date-of-first-use (regardless of mileage)". i have serviced my toyota at toyota dealership every 5,000 miles from 2012 till date, however, i was neither informed of this recall nor had the item replaced by toyota proactively due to recall issued. hence toyota must not ask me to pay for this repair now.
I had the driver's side sun visor replaced at my own expense because ithe visor was rotating downward and detaching from the ceiling blocking my vision while driving. a little while later i received a "warranty enhancement notice" from toyota about this visor problem. i still had the repair receipt so i mailed it to toyota and they reimbursed me. now it is broken again. it completely falls down with no support what-so-ever and detaches from the ceiling frequently. i have a string with a clothes pin to hold it partially up but my vision is still blocked some and the clothes pin doesn't hold it very long. this should not happen. i have not abused this visor in anyway. i still have the paperwork for the repair and the warranty enhancement notice letter. there is no number on this letter but at the bottom in tiny letters is ztt camry n5e086-00000803-104 if this is any help. i live in a different state now but don't know if this makes any difference.
