Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My visor on the driver side was wobbling around and would get in my way of driving numerous times. One day the entire visor finally just fell off and within two weeks my passenger side visor did the same thing. This should be a recall, it impairs your driving when the visor starts malfunctioning and if the sun is out and there is now now visor, the glare could prevent a driver from seeing someone or another vehicle. Toyota needs to step up and cover this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10512389, filed 2013-05, 65,000 miles“Sporadic failure of the headlight(s) turning off either one or the other and at times both light go out at the same time. Turning the lights off and then on again sometimes resets the light, but then go out again. Changing the bulb did not correct this failure. Contacting the dealer resulted in no action/resolution even though the vehicle was still under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10633398, filed 2014-09, 583 miles“The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the brake pedal was applied as the engine warning indicator illuminated. A driver in another vehicle alerted that both brake lights were inoperative. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the stop lamp switch would need to be replaced. The vehicle was also taken to the dealer where both brake light bulbs were replaced. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v091000 (exterior lighting). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. …”
