“I have had my Toyota Camry approximately 8 months and have been complaining almost since the beginning that the auto dimming rear view mirror is not working properly. I have particular problems at dusk and dawn. I have been trying to get this resolved with Toyota corporate customer service however they have been unresponsive. I find the bright lights are glaring and distracting and I have to tip the mirror down sometimes in order for it to be as safe as it should be in my opinion. Your help to resolve this matter would be appreciated!”

“Please see the attachedimages.both front and rear windshield visibility is extremelyopaque. I including my friends who ever tried are getting headaches within less than 2 mins of driving. I am extremely worried for my safety(could be life or death) issue and distressed. After one whole week of trying to reach the dealer over phone, I physically went over to the dealer and then the dealer told me, we can't make any decisions right now without consulting Toyota . They also refusedto provide me temporary loanervehicle. This brand new car is simply un-drivable. Please advise. …”
