“The driver side sun visor of my 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid fell down and blocked my view suddenly this afternoon while I was driving on I-70. The mechanics inside the visor is broken and there was no way to move it back to the position that did not blocking my view. It is extremely dangerous! Toyota should issue another recall for their lousy quality!!”
NHTSA complaint #10409287, filed 2011-06, 21,587 miles“I was driving on I-94 highway, tried to open my passenger side front window using my driver side door window switch. The switch did not work. About 30 seconds later my car filled with smoke and I saw the smoke coming out of the driver side door panel. I pulled over and after a couple minutes the smoke stopped. The window switch for the passenger side window does not work now.”
NHTSA complaint #10473969, filed 2012-09, 95,000 miles“The dashboard pad has deteriorated within the last two years. It is gooey. When I have brought the vehicle in for service at the local dealership and mentioned it, it was not addressed. I called Toyota headquarters twice and they said that there was a notification but it has expired. So, they will not honor a request to replace the pad. I never received the notifications they allege they sent. The pad is really dangerous since it reflects off the windshield and is blinding when driving on the highway or city streets. …”
NHTSA complaint #11228677, filed 2019-07, 89,000 miles“The driver side sun visor on my Toyota Camry Hybrid broke loose and it's just hanging there. I took it to the dealership to have it replaced and they said it would cost $120.00 to get it replaced. I went online and found other people had the same issue and who said that this was a manufactured defect. I would like to get my visor replaced at no cost to me as I see this as a safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10422117, filed 2011-08, 23,200 miles“I have a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The driver's side sun visor broke on my wife while she was driving creating a very dangerous situation. Fortunately she was able to tie the sun visor up as not to obstruct her view. I plan on going to the dealership tomorrow to address this issue. The car is at 60,000 miles.”
