Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11255928, filed 2019-09, 92,000 miles“Takata recall..my 2007 Toyota Camry has developed a shiny sticky coat over several months which covers the entire dash. The shininess obstructs driving visibility and I have found nothing on the market to clean this area. The car originally came from florida and was garage kept when I purchased. Seems like some sort of manufacturer defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11122937, filed 2018-08, 125,000 miles“Sticky dashboard. Causes visibility hazard due to shiny glare. Toyota did not notify ahead of their warranty extension. Right Toyota dealership did not mention after service visits. Toyota will not replace, says it is ,my fault for not knowing ahead of time that my dashboard would one day melt. Car has always been garaged and has only 55k miles. Shame on Toyota.”
NHTSA complaint #11092057, filed 2018-05, 45,000 miles“The dashboard of my Camry is melting and giving off fumes that we can smell and could be hazardous to our health. We have developed a coughs since this happened. The fumes are coating the inside of our windshield and makes it difficult to see. I have contacted Toyota USA and Toyota japan and they refuse to do anything about it.the vehicle was in motion when we had difficulty seeing through the windshield.”
NHTSA complaint #11123068, filed 2018-08, 110,000 miles“Both my sun visors have broke to the point they are becoming a safety issue. They now dangle and will not stay up. Im reading this has become a huge issue for many Toyota Camry owners. I can understand if there was a lot of wear and tear on them however I know there is not and should not be breaking this quickly.”
