1 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2023

I own a 2011 Toyota Camry. The dashboard has begun to melt and is causing potential glare issues, making the windshield turn into a mirror. Toyota is aware of the issue, and offered to replace the part through a special service campaign, once in 2018 and in 2021, however, they did not send the notice to the correct address - which we confirmed with them was an outdated address. Since we just began having the problem with the vehicle, we contacted Toyota, however they are stating that they are no longer offering the repairs and that we will have to pay nearly $3000 to fix it ourselves, more than the car's trade in value.

7 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 10/21/2013

On the way to work driving on the highway, the drivers side sun visor flopped down and made me jump and hit my forehead on it. Now it will not go back in to place, just flops around. Seems something inside split apart on the top by the arm holding it. Startled me and it was a pain all the way in. Had to hold it up to be able to see good. I then called my local dealer (after reading info online) to see if it was covered under the extended warranty I read about and he laughed. Never offered to check, just said he was not surprised and that I was not alone and that everyone out there has a broken one. I then called Toyota and was informed that my car was not included in extension. They were very nice but could not answer why only some were and some weren't even though they had the same ongoing problems. Guess those of us not covered will have to fix at our own expense even though it is a known problem and some cars made the same year are covered. Interesting way to do business. . .

8 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2013

Driver sun visor broke off. I went to a Toyota dealer to get this fixed the day after it fell and was there for over an 1 hr. The part is on back order and I paid $90. 99 for the part and the part is on back order for 3 to 6 weeks. I called Toyota services and after being on the line for one hour, Toyota will reimburse the part; but not the labor; which will be over $30. 00. The reimbursement will also take several weeks. I looked on youtube and it seems that this is a factory defect that is affecting several Toyota Camry's since 2007; mine is a 2011. I was told since this item is not in a recall I won't be reimbursed completely. Please order them to fix this defect.

9 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2012

The sunvisor on the driver side falls down blocking the drivers vision. This is a serious safety issue that could lead to the loss of life. This should be a recall. Toyota has recalled some vehicles with this same problem but only ones with a certain VIN number. Mine is not covered and no notice was received from Toyota. The repair of this I am on my own! I should of been contacted by Toyota and the vehicle should be recalled! I wonder how many accidents or near accidents there has been? it is only a matter of time before someone dies!.
