“Passenger side shade visor sagged down and will not stay in place. This happened on my 2011 Camry se, same thing happened on my 2007 Camry se and a recall fixed that. Why is this 2011 Camry to be repaired by Toyota as was the 2007? Also, the sun roof has been noisy since I bought the car aug 31, 2010. Why is that not recalled.? Am I the only one with these issues?”
NHTSA complaint #11324116, filed 2020-05, 163,825 miles“A while back I was pulling in my yard and my visor flipped down causing me to panic and blind my view then when I panicked I accedently hit the gas and drove into my mobile home causing damage to my home and about 2000 dollars of damage to my car I wrote Toyota and they refused to pay for damage”
NHTSA complaint #11182216, filed 2019-02, 70,000 miles“Driver side sun visor has failed. Toyota is aware of the problem but my VIN is not included in their warranty extension ztt and has refused to replace it free of charge. This is a safety issue as it will just drop into the fully extended position obstructing my view of the roadway and distracting me as a reach to manipulate it out of my view.”
NHTSA complaint #10917687, filed 2016-10, 65,000 miles“The sun visor will not stay up. Nearly causing me to have accidents. No screws to tighten to stop visor from falling down. Dangerous. Finally after trying everything to keep visor up I had to hot glue the visor to top of car; now I cannot use visor quickly. I cannot afford to go to dealership for repairs. Might need to note that rarely was visor ever used.”
NHTSA complaint #10929517, filed 2016-12, 49,000 miles“My driver side sun visor can not go back to it's position. It's hanging down in front of me and I have hard time to look in front of the vehicle. It is blocking my view. My daughter is little taller and she drives this car too, and it makes the problem worse for her. I called Toyota and I was told they couldn't help me with that.”
