Problems with 2011 Toyota Camry VISIBILITY/WIPER

On average, the 2011 Toyota Camry starts to “feel” problems with the VISIBILITY/WIPER and its various aspects after 98 367 miles.

Recently reported VISIBILITY/WIPER problems on 2011 Toyota Camry

There is significant distortion of visibility through the rear windshield during both day and night, moving and stopped.the biggest issue at night is that one vehicle appears multiplied with multiple sets of headlights, mostly up and down with the defogging lines but also in a wavy pattern between defogger lines. during the daytime, it obscures the edges of vehicles with the wavy pattern and has the same headlight issue as nighttime driving if it's raining. there is no after-market tint applied and there has been no damage to the windshield. it makes changing lanes at night or in the rain difficult and unsafe if there are any other vehicles on the road behind me since the distortion makes it difficult to determine distance and which lane they may be in.

I was not sent any notice of the defective plastic clips holding up 2007-2011 toyota camrys. instead, our sun visor lost resistance in 9/2019 and started obstructing our visibility and making it hard to see out the windshield. the sun visor would no longer stay up, but hang ~2/3 of the way down. i contacted toyota and printed out the complaints as well as the fact that toyota never informed us of the issue with the defective visor clips within the extended warranty time frame -which has happened to many. we are being told to replace and repair it ourselves for $195 though they agreed it's a safety hazard as well as the clips are defective. our local dealership was cordial but said it was out of their hands and a toyota headquarters decision. please look at the multiple complaints here: https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-toyota-camry-and-camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/page-5 http://m.carcomplaints.com/toyota/camry/2011/accessories-interior/sun_visor_will_not_stay_up.shtml i believe toyota is in the wrong and should have to fix all faulty clips especially when blocking your visibility. i was unable to see other drivers in the course of driving. i could not see safety signs ...

I had noticed the dashboard on my 2011 toyota camry hybrid became very sticky and shiny in the early months of 2019. the sunlight shining through the windshields most likely created this condition. it is impossible to clean or to remove the very shiny/sticky effect. subsequently it causes a reflective glare from the shiny surface onto the windshield, possibly creating a driving hazard. i consulted a toyota dealership who quoted me a price to replace the entire dash as they do not even attempt to clean them...spefically stating they had not seen any ever successfully corrected by repair. considering how expensive it would be to have this part replaced by a toyota dealership, and reports online of many other similar experiences by owners of toyotas of similar makes and models, it is my belief that the nhtsa should consider issuing a recall for this issue.

Sun visors seem to have not been properly installed with correct parts went on line and google it seems that a lot of this year has same problems so they where hanging and it makes hard to see the one on the driver side fell off either way it's un safe yo drive like this i do not have money to fix it i am making payments and only had the vehicle for 2 years

Takata recall sun visors falling down.

The driver side visor on my 2011 toyota camry drops down in front of my vision making it a hazard when i drive as my visibility is impaired. i hit my head on the visor when i get in and out of the car. toyota should declare a recall and fix these defective visors

The driver's side sun visor falls down, blocking drivers view, the support arm failed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. the contact stated that the front driver's side visor failed to remain in place. the contact called woburn toyota at 781-933-1100 (located at 394 washington st, woburn, ma 01801) and was informed that there was no recall for the failure. the manufacturer also stated that there was no recall. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

While approaching an intersection, the sun visor just dropped down, blocking my view of the intersection and traffic light

Driver side sun visor came disconnected and lodged in angled, partially down position while driving, making it difficult to see. had to pull over to fully disconnect visor as it was fully stuck otherwise. reviewing tonight, this seems to be a common issue for this era camry.

Driver side visor would stay in place

Initially the sun visor will fell and block some driver side view. after a year or 2 later, it completely fell and will block the driver side view. this is a hazard condition and should have been recalled, toyota issued warranty bulletin(pol12-03) to replace certain vin range of the camry 07~11, mine is the 2011, however i do not see the vin in that document. i've bought 3 new camry in the past, only this one has the problem. looking at the internet, many people have the same issue.and this should have been addressed by the toyota.

Drivers side sun visor released will driving on freeway. would not stay in place. had to pull over and completely remove visor from rod to see. the next week, passenger side visor released and would not hold position.

Dashboard is sticky and melting in the heat. noticed this problem while driving as the dashboard is up close to the steering wheel. you can feel how tacky the dashboard is.

The visor on the passenger side does not stay up any longer.
