Car parked, engine off, while checking fluids, the hood support links failed and the hood hit me in the head. Via telephone, toyota rep @ headquarters said they are out of warranty and no recall blah blah blah. Unacceptable and dangerous. Despite the vehicle being 9 years old, these parts are never used and should function. How often is the hood opened? Very rarely. Faulty design perhaps or my ignorance? Thank you.

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

Sun visors in numerous toyota models have a defect recognized by toyota, however only certain models are being covered under the "limited extended warranty". This extended warranty was not made clear or public to the car owners, instead only turning up in google searches of why their sun visor was failing. Toyota and their dealerships are refusing to repair the defect if the vehicle doesn't fall in the extremely…

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…

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…

My 2011 camry is super white and the clear coat has completely come off. I noticed all the shine was gone so i took it in for an estimate on a wax job and he informed me the clear coat is completely gone. I started to notice it about 2 years ago. When i wash my car, the white paint comes off. I also have a few rust spots that have started to form in different places.

July 2016 i was pulling away from my bank atm at approx.2-5 mph in my 2011 toyota camry when the car took off. The car accelerated so fast. I hit the brakes but it didn't stop the car.

I had 3 blown tires and the right side window broken out with damage to that door. The…

I bought my car in 11/2010. About 3 years later, the dashboard became sticky. I thought if was because of the heat. As time passed it got worse and it's causing a very bad glare. I was searching the web to see what causes this and came across an action suit against toyota for this problem. I also had the problem with my sun visors continuously dropping. This too was a problem many others were having with this model.…
