Ref # michelin case number 14617544 summary#1. Purchased 4 michelin tires thru sears on 01/27/17(attached proof - "sears-01-27-2017- michelin ", mileage # 38955) 2. On 03/22/17, one tire burst. (pls see attached ntb replacement reference proof - "ntb-march22_2017", mileage # 40221)3. On 12/7/18, 2 tires burst. (pls see attached good year reference proof - "good year Dec 7 2018 inv126569", mileage # 56640) 4. Pls pull my audio communications during March 2017 and Dec 2018 please do a full fledged investigation on this issue. These are my demands# 1. I requested back in March 2017 while talking to your rep, to verify, if the tires sold to me were from a lot which sent with defects. A. This is very easy. Pull my tire number, get the plant reference, run by analysis by seeing number of complaints or run a load/stress test to see if there are no defect. B. I was given an explanation that it is not, don't think that anyone verified, gave 100% replacement and I paid only for install. 2. Again when 2 tires burst on Dec 2018, requested the same. A. The rep whom I talked to was very rude, refused to answer(pls pull the audio and listen the conversation) b. I did chat too. I was told that I may be give 25% and 35% discount only. C. I was told that michelin will not do that verification for any defects! 3. Due to above reasons, I lost the trust with the quality of michelin tires, hence ended up buying good year tires. 4. First burst happened after 1266 miles (40221-38955) second bursts happened after 16419 miles (56640 - 40221) pls explain your assurances to an end consumer. Am I not allowed to get an explanation?.

Drivers side sun visor falling down not staying up. The base part of the sum visor becomes detached from the body of the sun visor making it hard to out the sun visor back up blocking the view of the driver. The vehicle was stationed when I first began to notice the sun visor fall half way down. After a long drive out of state, on the highway, the sun visor droped all the way down and would no longer stay up.

40 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2018

Driving down the highway at 5:45 a. M. , no cars in sight, I hear a loud noise such as that you would hear from a gunshot. Startled, I pulled to the side of the highway to assess the situation. My sunroof had exploded without cause. It looked as if it was blown out from the inside. Luckily for me, the cover was closed so no glass had fallen inside the cabin. With no cars in sight, I quickly dismissed the idea that it was a rock or road debris. It just randomly exploded without warning. The temperature outside of the vehicle was 46f and the digital climate control was set to 72f. I am very thankful that my two year old son was not in the car as the noise was very loud.

43 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2018

On Friday July 13th I was pulling into a parking spot in a private lot when all of a sudden, with my foot firmly on the brake my car suddenly and violently accelerated, for a second or two hitting a van directly in front of me and also the SUV to the left of the van damaging the right back bumper. The van was hit so hard, it was pushed about 20 feet hitting another vehicle and rolled back hitting my car. The van was in park, which caused transmission damage, and not sure what other damage it had. Toyota was called and they sent a representative out to exam the car and do some diagnostic testing. That was on July 25th. . It can take up to a month to get those results . I will not drive this car since this happened. As far as I can see, there were no recalls for this problems with my car.

46 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2018

The driver's side sun visor started to sag two or three years ago. Recently it just hangs down in the driver's face and will not stay in the stowed position. Toyota knows of the problem and has a warranty extension program to deal with it that I found out about when I went online to look for a replacement. I called Toyota's customer satisfaction line and was told that my car's VIN# falls outside the parameters of the program. The covered problem obviously exists on my vehicle. It is clearly a safety issue, as you cannot see out of the vehicle with the visor down.

The dash board of the car seems to be melting as it is getting stcky as the days passes by and difficult to clean as you cannot pot your hand on it and if you try cleaning the melting plastic comes out scratching with cloth/fingers. It is driving hazard as in sum there is too much glare coming from sash board making it very hard to drive. As it cannot be cleaned the dust and other particles are getting accumulated on the dash. It is getting worse as days are passing.

Driver side sun visor fell down would not stay up then after doing this for a few months , sun visor made a loud noise and broke off. Sadly after calling dealership they could not tell me where or how to file a complaint I'm sure that's why you do not have very many forms filled out.

52 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2017

I am having problems with my dashboard melting and becoming very shiny and sticky. Because of the super shiny dash, my vision is obscured while trying to drive during the day. . Especially on my way to and from work as the sun is rising and setting. I contacted the local Toyota dealership and was advised to call the corporate office for Toyota America, which I did. Toyota America advised that there were no recalls or warranty enhancements for my car, as they are only active up to year models 2009 at this time. They did advise that for other year models, they are doing them case by case, assigned me a case number, and gave me instructions to go to the local dealership for inspection - which I did. After almost 2 weeks of waiting on a response, I called Toyota just to be told my claim was denied due to the fact that it's not covered under an open recall or warranty enhancement and my standard warranty only covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles. The glare put off by my dash is a severe safety hazard, in that I can barely see out of my windshield when the sun is shining here in southeast georgia. The attached picture was taken on 10/16/2017 while parked in partial shade. Please help me and all of the other Toyota owners dealing with this problem.

59 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2017

I own a 2011 Toyota Camry le . The sun visor on the drivers side becomes loose and keeps dropping. This is a driving hazard. Toyota created a warranty extensions (csp) for certain vehicles which did not include my particular VIN however I believe this problem is widespread for 2007-20011 Camry's. And Toyota should cover all vehicles manufactured in that period.

64 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2017

Drivers side visor part broke and compromises drivers visibility. Driver bumps into visor with forehead when driving. Trunk latch at top was giving me trouble. Glove compartment doesn't always want to close very well. Foam around car door coming out. This has never happened to me before on any car I owned or have driven. This is obviously a defective part and should be replaced at Toyota corporation expense. I love driving a Camry but some of the parts inside are breaking and its disappointing. I used to have a 1994 Camry that I purchased used in 2004, and it never had any of these problems. I also bought the 2011 Camry used and love the way it drives. Vehicle was stationary.

65 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

My drivers side visor started hanging down and eventually had to be removed due to not being able to see out the windshield with it in my way. I reached out to Toyota and was informed that other 2007-2011 Camrys had same issue but mine wasn't involved in the 7 year extended warranty for sun visors. I am now driving without a visor which is not safe!.

67 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2016

Yesterday while my husband was driving home, the driver's side sun visor broke. We researched it on the internet to see how to fix it. When we did, we saw that there was a warranty policy bulletin out for 2007 - 2011 Toyota Camrys for this exact problem. There was a video and our sun visor did exactly what the video showed. However, there are a limited amount of Camrys which it covers. Our Camry does not fall within that range. On further research, we found that there are many others who have experienced this same issue but weren't covered because of their VIN didn't fall within the range. I have never had any problems with Toyota before. We own four Toyotas and have never had an issue like this. Also, the passenger side visor is popping and won't go up all the way. Please advise me as to what I need to do. Thank you.

69 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2016

The sun visor on the driver side could not stay up and was eventually broken off completely which creates safety issue when the driver is facing the sun. Toyota previously offered extended warranty for Camry from 2007-2011 but my 2011 was not within the VIN range covered under extended warranty.
