Wiper problems of the 2011 Toyota Camry - part 2

On 5/19/17 the driver side sun visor suddenly began to not stay in the resting position. It does not stay in the position towards the windshield anymore either. It just hangs straight down. It will not stay up at all. This is a known issue on these vehicles. Toyota had issued a warranty extension but only for certain VIN numbers. My VIN does not fall within the range. . Read more...

Toyota has already implemented a csp ( vtt) covering failing sunvisor hinges on Camrys from 2007-2011. Mine has failed. After calling the local dealer I am told that my VIN number is approximately 25000 too high ( translation we have fixed the problem before that point. They have not. It is the exact same failure described. As an engineer I understand that this would not be the first time that a problem was believed to be solved but was not. No real need for a photo to document the condition, the hinge that provides sufficient friction to insure that the visor stays where you placed it has broken the plastic and now flops uselessly around. It will not stay in the desired position.

Driver visor will not go back to place. It hangs down blocking me to see the street lights above and will not fold up.

2011 Toyota Camry sun visor: in the past 3/4 days, I have started to experience 2 problems with my driver side sun visor of my 2011 Toyota Camry: 1. It won't stay up in place and falls down blocking my vision- this is a serious road hazard 2. The mirror light doesn't turn on anymore. From the online blogs I understand that it is a known problem for Camry my2007-2011. I looked up my VIN # and it doesn't fall in the range specified for warranty extension. I asked Toyota is they will cover it but they refuse to as the VIN # doesn't fall in their range covered for warranty extension. I think Toyota should include other VIN# in the range because this is a serious problem that a lot of other Toyota owners are facing and they are not covered under the warranty. This should be considered a recall and not warranty as it is a safety hazard. . Read more...

Drivers side visor drops down when and will not stay up. The Toyota extended warranty does not cover my VIN #. This is a part defect and has many complaints.

Both the passenger and driver sun visors fell down and would not stay up. They eventually rotted and detached from the vehicle. The sun beams into my eyes as I am driving and this could potentially be dangerous.

Drivers side sunvisor has failed while driving on interstate. It blocked my view and almost caused a wreck.

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.

Sun visor on driver's side dropped as vehicle was in motion. Drastically obstructed my view of the highway. Had to fumble with visor while driving in traffic.

Driver side sun viser fell off while driving vehicle onto drivers lap.

I have Toyota Camry 2011. The sun visor has fallen. I have no sun visor and I see it as a safety hazard. Called Toyota CA delear- capitol expressway in san jose, they said that it is covered after checking the VIN number. Went there and wasted 2 hours to be told that is is not covered. Called Toyota experience ( or bad experience) line and they opened a case (1609170669) and said is is not covered. I see that Toyota product quality and service quality both have gone down. It is better to buy other good brands and avoid Toyota.

Driver side visor no longer stays up and partially blocks my view of the windshield. I have to lean forward to see the whole road and makes it difficult to look at my rear view mirrors.

Driver-side sun visor broke off.

I noticed the sun visor starting to sag a bit when I put it up to use it or when I closed it. It had done this for a couple months and I thought nothing of it. However one day when I was on the highway traveling at highway speed using it, it fell down and wouldnt go back up into position to use it or to store it away. It was blocking my field of vision and with the sun facing me face that too was blocking my field of vision. I almost rear ended another car but luckily was able to slow down in time. Apparently there is a problem with the sun visors but my VIN is out of the range of the ones supposedly affected.

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.

The passenger and driver side sun visors fail to stow properly and have deployed unexpectedly while operating the vehicle on numerous occasions to the point it seemed safer to remove the visors. The adverse affect is now being blinded by the sun while driving.

Sun visors have just fallen downward and will not stay up. The drivers side completely fell off while I was driving. Huge safety issue. Toyota extended their warranty on some '07-'11 Camry's, but mine does not fall in the VIN # range they extended. It is obviously the same issue. This should be a recall, not extended warranty on all VIN #'s from these years. Toyota refuses to do anything about it.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

Driver side sun visor flops down. Fails to stay in set position . In up position starts to fall down. Appears to be a problem in the 2007-2011 year range. Can suddenly obstruct field of view.

Driver-side sun visor will not stay up. Distracts driving view.

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.

Driver side sun visor will not stay in retracted position.

The driver side sunvisor will not stay up making it uncomfortable to drive as it interferes with visibility. It does not help block sunlight as the driver can not adjust it to block incoming light.

2011 Camry sunvisor became loose and hung down interfering with my view. I tried different methods to hold it up, but they did not work. I removed the sunvisor so it wouldn't block my view, but since at some times during the year I am driving into the direction of the sun, it makes it very hard to see what is in front of the vehicle. Toyota has provided an extended warranty for this defect, but only for certain VIN's. The VIN list is very limited, and does not cover my vehicle (although it is the same problem). Toyota has called this a warranty problem (pol12-03) and not a safety recall, but it is definitely a safety item.

Sun visor unexpectedly sagged down while driving on highway, and now permanently in the dropped down position. Quite a potential safety issue when 1/2 of your visibility suddenly gets blocked, and this issue seems quite commonly reported in online forum complaints.

Sun visor will spontaneously fall down blocking visibility. The locking mechanism that allows the visor to stay in one place is defective and it is unable to hold the visor in the up position. This also creates a hazard getting into the car, as a taller individual inevitably will slam his head on the visor as it is always stuck in the down position. This happens both while stationary and especially while driving. This is an accident waiting to happen.

Driver side sun visor is not holding its position and has become a hazardous since it blocks normal visibility when dangling. Called Toyota dealer and they said there is no recall and customer has to pay for the replacement. Under normal to light uses the inside mechanism broke. 2007 model had a recall for early breakdown. But 2011 model I believe has same parts but was not recalled or fixed. Toyota is providing cheap quality parts and pushing the burden to the consumer. This condition is subject to hazardous condition and should be recalled by Toyota. I request NHTSA to investigate this matter and make Toyota to recall this parts.
