2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Visibilitywiper Problems

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2011. THE SUN VISOR HAS FALLEN. I HAVE NO SUN VISOR AND I SEE IT AS A SAFETY HAZARD. CALLED TOYOTA CA DELEAR- CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY IN SAN JOSE, THEY SAID THAT IT IS COVERED AFTER CHECKING THE VIN NUMBER. WENT THERE AND WASTED 2 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT IS IS NOT COVERED. CALLED TOYOTA EXPERIENCE ( OR BAD EXPERIENCE) LINE AND THEY OPENED A CASE (1609170669) AND SAID IS IS NOT COVERED. I SEE THAT TOYOTA PRODUCT QUALITY AND SERVICE QUALITY BOTH HAVE GONE DOWN. IT IS BETTER TO BUY OTHER GOOD BRANDS AND AVOID TOYOTA.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISER FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ONTO DRIVERS LAP.

SUN VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DROPPED AS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. DRASTICALLY OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO FUMBLE WITH VISOR WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CONNECTOR AND THE SUN VISOR PREMATURELY FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE CONNECTOR THAT HELD THE SUN VISOR IN PLACE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, INCLUDING THE SUN VISOR. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. UPDATED 11/01/16*LJ *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR NO LONGER STAYS UP AND PARTIALLY BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TO LEAN FORWARD TO SEE THE WHOLE ROAD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT MY REAR VIEW MIRRORS.

DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN RETRACTED POSITION.

I NOTICED THE SUN VISOR STARTING TO SAG A BIT WHEN I PUT IT UP TO USE IT OR WHEN I CLOSED IT. IT HAD DONE THIS FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. HOWEVER ONE DAY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED USING IT, IT FELL DOWN AND WOULDNT GO BACK UP INTO POSITION TO USE IT OR TO STORE IT AWAY. IT WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION AND WITH THE SUN FACING ME FACE THAT TOO WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS BUT MY VIN IS OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE ONES SUPPOSEDLY AFFECTED.

DASH IS MELTING, CRACKING, AND SHINY CAUSING GLARE ON DASH AND REFLEX THAT GLARE IN WINDSHIELD CAUSING DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.

SUN VISOR DRIVER SIDE IS FALLING DOWN ON CAMRY 2011. WONT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. ALSO TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR NOISE IN THE STEERING AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING SHAFT WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. CAR ONLY 58000 MILES.

SUN VISORS HAVE JUST FALLEN DOWNWARD AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THE DRIVERS SIDE COMPLETELY FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY ON SOME '07-'11 CAMRY'S, BUT MINE DOES NOT FALL IN THE VIN # RANGE THEY EXTENDED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON ALL VIN #'S FROM THESE YEARS. TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY UP MAKING IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY. IT DOES NOT HELP BLOCK SUNLIGHT AS THE DRIVER CAN NOT ADJUST IT TO BLOCK INCOMING LIGHT.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN. FAILS TO STAY IN SET POSITION . IN UP POSITION STARTS TO FALL DOWN. APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE 2007-2011 YEAR RANGE. CAN SUDDENLY OBSTRUCT FIELD OF VIEW.

DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. DISTRACTS DRIVING VIEW.

SUN VISOR WILL SPONTANEOUSLY FALL DOWN BLOCKING VISIBILITY. THE LOCKING MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE VISOR TO STAY IN ONE PLACE IS DEFECTIVE AND IT IS UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION. THIS ALSO CREATES A HAZARD GETTING INTO THE CAR, AS A TALLER INDIVIDUAL INEVITABLY WILL SLAM HIS HEAD ON THE VISOR AS IT IS ALWAYS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS INDEPEDENTLY FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,898.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2015 MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY ALL THE WAY AND WAS ABOUT 15% OF THE WAY DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS IN MY LINE-OF-SIGHT IT REALLY DID NOT IMPEDE MY VISION OR ABILITY TO DRIVE. MID-2015 THE VISOR NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO HOLD ITSELF UP AND WAS FULLY DOWN AT ALL TIMES COMPLETELY IMPEDED MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AS I AM A TALLER DRIVER. I HAD TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING WARRANTY BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR VIN. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY TWO 2011 CAMRYS THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WMI CODE 4T4. I KNOW I PURCHASED ONE OF THE FIRST 2011 CAMRYS AS I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2010 (WELL AHEAD OF THE NORMAL RELEASE CYCLE) WHEN TOYOTA WENT THROUGH THEIR BIG (BRAKE PEDAL / FLOOR MAT)...

SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY SAGGED DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AND NOW PERMANENTLY IN THE DROPPED DOWN POSITION. QUITE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN 1/2 OF YOUR VISIBILITY SUDDENLY GETS BLOCKED, AND THIS ISSUE SEEMS QUITE COMMONLY REPORTED IN ONLINE FORUM COMPLAINTS.

PURCHASED TWO RAIN X WIPER BLADES #5070277-1 AND 5079280-1 ON 6/29/2015 AND AFTER USING THEM FOR 30 DAYS THE RUBBER INSERTS WHERE TOTALLY GONE LEAVING THE PLASTIC TO CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD. THE PLASTIC CONTACTING THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED THOUSANDS OF SCRATCHES. THESE SCRATCHES MAKES IT HARD TO SEE DUE TO THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE SCRATCHES.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT HOLDING ITS POSITION AND HAS BECOME A HAZARDOUS SINCE IT BLOCKS NORMAL VISIBILITY WHEN DANGLING. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. UNDER NORMAL TO LIGHT USES THE INSIDE MECHANISM BROKE. 2007 MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR EARLY BREAKDOWN. BUT 2011 MODEL I BELIEVE HAS SAME PARTS BUT WAS NOT RECALLED OR FIXED. TOYOTA IS PROVIDING CHEAP QUALITY PARTS AND PUSHING THE BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER. THIS CONDITION IS SUBJECT TO HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY TOYOTA. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND MAKE TOYOTA TO RECALL THIS PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DETACHED FROM THE INTERIOR ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, OBSTRUCTING THE CONTACTS VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAD FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE VISOR BECOME DETACHED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR INSTANTLY BROKE WHILE PLACING IN THE UP POSITION. ONE WEEK LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNVISOR BROKE WHILE PLACING IN THE UP POSITION. BOTH SUNVISORS ARE CURRENTLY HANGING LOOSE AND I AM UNABLE TO ADJUST THEM AT ALL. BOTH ARE BLOCKING MY VISION, ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE. TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THOUSANDS OF CARS' SUNVISORS DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, BUT IS REFUSING TO REPLACE MINE 'BECAUSE THEY DECIDED NOT TO FIX MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER'.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THE SUNVISOR WON'T STAY UP.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR IS FAULTY AND WILL NOT STAY UP IN PLACE. IT IS BLOCKING MY VIEW. THEY HAVE A RECALL BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASNT INCLUDED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT TOYOTA BY PHONE. I CALLED THEM AND THEY DONT WANT TO REPLACE IT.

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE, HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR OTHER VEHICLES OF MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR (2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY). MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS STILL AFFECTED. SINCE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN IT IMPACTS VISIBILITY.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. NOW, THE VISOR HAS COME COMPLETELY OFF, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET IT TO STAY BACK UP. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR 2007-2011 CAMRYS FOR THIS ISSUE. CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY AND BRACKET. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOYOTA, THEY BOTH SAID THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE OTHER CAMRYS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERING.

DEFECTIVE SUNVISOR (LEFT) WHICH WAS A SAFETY WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT IN TOYOTA CAMRY PRODUCED BETWEEN FEB 2006 AND FEB 2010. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN MAY 2010 AND THEREFORE NOT PART OF SAFETY. TOYOTA SHOULD CONSIDER INCREASING THE WARRANTLY ENHANCEMENT.

BOTH SUN VISORS BROKE WITHIN ONE WEEK APART. THE HINGE OF THE SUN VISOR STOPPED WORKING CAUSING VISOR TO HANG IN THE FIELD OF VISION. THERE WAS NO WARNING LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT.

THE INNER MECHANISM OF THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR GRADUALLY FAILED. THE SUN VISOR WOULD DROP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY SOMETIMES OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW. AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL. PART # 7432006780E0. *TR

SUN VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN UP POSITION BLOCKING FULL VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

VISOR CAME LOOSE AND WOULD NOT STAY UP.....FELL DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW TO DRIVE. TRIED TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE AND CAME OFF THE BRACKET IN THE ROOF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE SUN VISOR CONTINUOUSLY FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UPWARD POSITION. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOR OVER A PERIOD OF TWO MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP. I LEARNED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES ON CERTAIN 2007 - 2011 CAMRY VEHICLES. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST TOYOTA SINCE MY CAR YEAR MODEL FALLS WITHIN THE YEAR MODELS AFFECTED, AND CLEARLY I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISOR NOT STAYING UP. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 22 THOUSAND MILES, AND THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SUN VISORS THAT COME DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND BLOCK VIEW OF THE ROAD. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED! I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVE SIDE WENT INTO THE DOWN POSITION AND WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK UP IT WOULD NOT STAY. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE ENTIRE VISOR FELL OFF. NOT LONG AFTER THE THE PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING. HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES. STILL WAITING TO HEAR IF MINES IS ONE OF THEM. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE BECAME TIGHT. WITHIN A DAY, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND WHILE DRIVING IT SIMPLY STARTED DANGLING AND HAD TO BE PULLED OFF. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER HOW THEY WILL CORRECT THIS. I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON YOUR WEBSITE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DESIGN/MANUFACTURING APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM. IF A TSB DOES NOT EXIST, IT SHOULD BE SENT BY TOYOTA TO DEALERS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY SUNVISOR DOES NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY UP AND IS NOW BLOCKING MY DRIVING VISION. I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF THE REGULAR POSITION AND MOVE IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THIS NOW PARTIALLY BLOCKS MY DRIVER SIDE VIEW. READ CSC-10046281-9258 BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY MORE VEHICLES AFFECTED THAN ADVERTISED. *TT

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 50 OVER THE KENT NARROW BRIDGE IN MARYLAND WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRASH. I THEN HEARD THE SOUND OF WIND AND GLASS BREAKING. I LOOK UP AT MY SUNROOF AND SAW BROKEN GLASS AND A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUN ROOF. THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUT, SO THERE WAS VERY LITTLE GLASS IN THE CAR. I DID NOT SEE ANY OBJECTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSE THIS OR ANY TRUCKS NEAR ME THAT WOULD HAVE DROPPED ANYTHING. THANK GOD THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUT AND NO BROKEN GLASS CAME INTO THE CAR WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. TOYOTA IS BULKING AT COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOK AT VERY CAREFULLY. I HAVE PICTURES IF NEEDED. *TR
