Driving down the road at 65 (posted speed limit) when drivers side sun visor broke, flopped down right in front of my face, blocking road from my view. Had to hold it up until I found a safe place to pull over. Could have crashed.
I was driving on the highway at 70mph when all of a sudden my sun visor fell down and impaired me seeing the road ahead. I went to go flip it up but it had broken suddenly and without warning and would not stay up. I was trying to get off the highway while holding up the visor and trying to keep up with traffic as to not cause an accident. When I finally got off the road I had to actually rip the visor off because it wouldn't go up at all no matter what I did. The car is barely 2 years old. Normally I would just fix this and move on with my life, but upon doing some research I realized that there are literally thousands of complaints dating back to the 2007 Camry on the same visor issue. We were lucky we were able to get off the highway but let me tell you, I couldn't see a thing and if there was a car in front of me when it fell down I would have hit something or someone. Again, it was without warning and just fell down - I wasn't moving it or touching it. I'm beyond upset especially now that I know that Toyota was well aware of the situation.
Driver side and passenger side sun visors both split on top within 1 week of each other. Vehicle is only 3 years old.
I bought a Toyota Camry on may 10 2011,the same week I felt the car acting up, I made an appointment for service and told then what it does,the service manager said it was normal,I taking my car 5 or more times for service and all they say is normal,my Camry shakes,vibrates all the time,I am afraid that the car is going to turn off on me and cause an accident one of this days that is the feeling I get every time I drive this car, I am a single mom with 2 girls all I want is honesty the seller dealer they need to let the buyer know of the wear things the Camry does before making the purchase the way the buyer can make the decision of purchasing the car or not. . .
Prior to these incidents, the vehicle was checked by the dealer on their recall. I was traveling on a 2 lane highway at 60 mph with the cruise control on. I approached a slight incline in the road and the transmission downshifted as normal. Tachometer went from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm. Then suddenly there was a sudden uncontrollable acceleration in which the engine revved up to 4500 rpm and the engine was screaming as though it was about to blow apart. My foot was not in contact with the accelerator pedal. The floor mat had been removed per the dealer instructions. I immediately put my foot on the brake pedal which stopped the sudden acceleration. If this had been on a wet highway or in traffic there would surely have been an accident. This same incident has occurred 4 times within the last 6 months. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they reported that there was nothing wrong and they could not replicate the problem. After several conversations with Toyota, they said that they will make a record of my incidents but, Toyota will do nothing to fix the problem. This had to have been caused by the cruise control system or the computer/software controlling it.
Leaking front struts: I reported the finding to the local Toyota dealer (scott tom Toyota, nampa, idaho) and also called the main Toyota customer center. The local dealer's service associate confirmed the existence of the leakage. I was told the amount of the leakage is "small," "normal," no need to repair at this point, and if I want to have it replaced then its not covered by the warranty. I believe leaking struts issue is very common to Toyota Camry and may pose possible safety issue.
