Takata recall- Toyota has a recall on the 2007-2011 sun visors for the Toyota Camry however, they are refusing to pay for my sun visor because they say my VIN number is not included. When you are driving the sun visor just fall down unexpected on the fwy and on the main streets which is a safety hazard while driving. Toyota is refusing to replace the sun visor knowing that the 2011 have a problem. Toyota has place a recall on the sun visor which is posted on their website Toyota.com

My dashboard is melting and sticky. A Toyota internal memo to its dealers stares thay my model and year are coverer in an extended warrantee to replace the dash. When I called vtoyoto I was told my car VIN is excluded. I asked why my car with the same problem an same model and year is not covered. I got no ansewr. I was told that I could go to a dealer for an inspection of the problem but I would have to pay an inspection fee. I want the das replaced free of charge.

The read-outs for both the sound system and climate control are almost impossible to read most of the time, especially in daylight. It is a distraction that once caused me to almost have an accident, after which I don't try reading them while driving.

Hello. I have purchased two new Camry, in 2007 and 2011. In both of them the sunvisors have come down and will not go back up in position. I purchased a new sun visor for the 2007 Camry, when this happened, but now both of my sunvisors in my 2011 Camry are doing the same. I am told there is not a recall on the 2011, but there is one on the 2007. This is the same issue in both vehicles, is there anything you all will do about this?

During the first half of 2015 my driver's side sun visor would not stay all the way and was about 15% of the way down. While this was in my line-of-sight it really did not impede my vision or ability to drive. Mid-2015 the visor no longer was able to hold itself up and was fully down at all times completely impeded my ability to see the road as I am a taller driver. I had to remove it completely in order to drive the vehicle. There is an existing warranty but does not apply to my particular VIN. In fact there are only two 2011 Camry that would be covered under wmi code 4T4. I know I purchased one of the first 2011 Camry as I purchased in may of 2010 (well ahead of the normal release cycle) when Toyota went through their big (brake pedal / floor mat) recall. I only found out recently that there was a warranty available for at least a certain population of 2011 Camry. I have also found out that it is very common for the 2011 Camry to have issue as many other owners have complained via different forums and have also confirmed that their particular VIN is not covered.

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.

Driver's side sun visor will not remain in "closed" position. Flops/ falls down and significantly interferes with visibility through windshield. Only remedy is to extend the visor totally open toward the windshield, however, this is still a nuisance. The visor cannot be completely removed or positioned in manner that is not obstructing view. Other vehicles are included in a recall for this problem; however, not the VIN for this 2011 Toyota Camry. Don't understand why this vehicle is not included in the recall.

My driver's side sun visor suddenly broke while I was driving. It became floppy and dropped down into my direct line of site and almost caused an accident. It is my understanding that there is a recall on other 2011 Camry's experiencing the same problem but my specific VIN/vehicle does not qualify for repair. This is a huge liability for Toyota and extremely scary for my son and my safety. I have owned three Camry's and never experienced this type of problem. I just want my visor fixed! I have heard many others say the same thing. I feel they should expand the warranty policy to apply to all 2011 Toyota Camry's.

Approximately one and 1/2 months ago (maybe longer?), the driver side sun visor starting to make a clicking noise when I moved it up (closed) and down (open). Tonight, it would not stay up and was blocking my view. I could not move it to the side to get it out my line of sight. I had to hold it up the rest of the way home in order to see the road safely. I ended up removing it completely when I got home in order to drive without it blocking my view of the road, which is a huge safety issue. Now I have no sun visor. I live in southern ca, drive East in morning & West in the evening. I have to replace/repair this as soon as possible.

I see that there was a recall on this and my dealer has not notified me and I was unaware of the load issue. How do I handle this - jones junction in bel air, md is the dealer. I have a 2011 Camry le. Southeast Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2013 Toyota Tundra, 2010-2012 rav4, 2012 Toyota sequoia, 2010-2011 Toyota corolla, 2010-2011 Toyota Camry and Camry hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota highlander and highlander hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota fj cruiser, 2011 Toyota land cruiser, 2010-2013 Toyota venza, 2010-2011 Toyota 4runner, 2010-2013 Toyota Tacoma, 2011-2012 Toyota sienna, 2012 Toyota prius, 2013 Scion fr-S, 2011 Scion xd, 2011 Scion xb, and 2012 Scion tc vehicles. These vehicles were sold with labels that were outside the allowable one percent of accuracy of actual weight added. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "tire selection and rims."
