“Melting dashboard and driver's side visor does not stay up. The melting dash causes a glare on the windshield causing visibility to be obstucted. I was told that I missed the warranty period but have never been sent anything about this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11230204, filed 2019-07, 100,120 miles“Sunvisor is not holding up. After contacting several of Toyota dealerships with no avail I am finally complaining. I have noticed that there are many other Toyota customers who have had similar issues with camry and camry hybrids sunvisors in models 2007-2011. Many thanks”
NHTSA complaint #10629948, filed 2014-09, 37,000 miles“I have 2 complaints. 1) I was driving in local traffic when 5 warning lights appeared: master warning light, brake warning light, electronically controlled brake warning, ABS, slip indicator. I was surprised but my brakes continued to work on the drive home & to the dealership the next day. The lights never went off (some other owners have reported the lights go on & off). I do not have cold weather conditions (50s in dec). …”
NHTSA complaint #10662236, filed 2014-12, 128,000 miles“While I was driving at about 65 MPH on a four lane divided highway, the driver's visor suddenly and unexpectedly rotated completely down, blocking my view out of the windshield so that I could not see ahead. It was a dangerous and frightening situation! I had to keep control of the car while holding the visor up so that I could get home safely and then get the car to the repair facility. Toyota knew that this safety hazard existed and was serious because it did a warranty enhancement notice for 2007 to 2011 Camry Hybrid sun visor brackets, but this expired for my car in may of 2016.”
NHTSA complaint #11143606, filed 2018-10, 107,500 miles“I was driving home on ca highway 80 west from work when suddenly, my driver side visor dropped down in front of my windshield. I am disappointed with this Toyota part because it has been an issue since I purchased this model in 2009. This visor does not seem to return to it's up position completely since 2009. Now, in 2013, this visor has completely failed to return to it's upright position and can obstruct my view when I drive. I wish Toyota would replace this visor since it is a safety issue when a part can obstruct the driver's side. …”
