There is significant distortion of visibility through the rear windshield during both day and night, moving and stopped.the biggest issue at night is that one vehicle appears multiplied with multiple sets of headlights, mostly up and down with the defogging lines but also in a wavy pattern between defogger lines. During the daytime, it obscures the edges of vehicles with the wavy pattern and has the same headlight…

I was not sent any notice of the defective plastic clips holding up 2007-2011 toyota camrys. Instead, our sun visor lost resistance in 9/2019 and started obstructing our visibility and making it hard to see out the windshield. The sun visor would no longer stay up, but hang ~2/[redacted] down. I contacted toyota and printed out the complaints as well as the fact that toyota never informed us of the issue with the…

I had noticed the dashboard on my 2011 toyota camry hybrid became very sticky and shiny in the early months of 2019. The sunlight shining through the windshields most likely created this condition. It is impossible to clean or to remove the very shiny/sticky effect. Subsequently it causes a reflective glare from the shiny surface onto the windshield, possibly creating a driving hazard. I consulted a toyota…

Driver side sun visor came disconnected and lodged in angled, partially down position while driving, making it difficult to see. Had to pull over to fully disconnect visor as it was fully stuck otherwise. Reviewing tonight, this seems to be a common issue for this era camry.

Initially the sun visor will fell and block some driver side view. After a year or 2 later, it completely fell and will block the driver side view. This is a hazard condition and should have been recalled, toyota issued warranty bulletin(pol12-03) to replace certain vin range of the camry 07~11, mine is the 2011, however i do not see the vin in that document. I've bought 3 new camry in the past, only this one has…

The sun visor of my car cannot stay up. It keeps rotating downward and blocks my view. This is a wide-spread manufacturing defect of 2007-2011 camry. I informed toyota but they did not agree to fix my car. I also have a 2001 camry, which is 10 years older and its sun visors work fine. My friend has a 2010 camry and it also has the same sun visor problem. He did not get any recall notice from toyota for this problem…

I called our local dealer after my wife's 2011 sun visor fell while she was driving and won't stay up. First the service person couldn't find the toyota memo. Then he found it but said only the interior parts are covered. I told him it's one unit. He spoke to a service tech and the tech confirmed it's one unit. Then he came back with we have to look at it then order the part. I will have to come back in a few days…

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. I came across this web forum where numerous…

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…
