2007 Toyota Camry Visibility

See attached document for complaint.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAMRY IS MELTING CAUSING A STICKY RESIDUE. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, SUN CAUSES A GLARE ON TO THE WINDSHIELD PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING ANY ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR OBJECTS. WITHOUT CLEAR VISIBILITY DRIVING THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME SEVERAL NEAR HEAD ON COLLISIONS WITH ONGOING TRAFFIC. DRIVING THIS CAR I PURCHASED SCARES ME THAT THIS IS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ME AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD TAKE MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE ON ROAD I MAY HIT. TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE DASH ISSUE YEARS PRIOR BUT ONLY FIXED SOME OF THIS DEFECTED DASHES BY CREATING A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. IF THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT OR KNOWN IT WAS REPLACEABLE WITH IN THEIR WINDOW OF TIME, THEY WILL NOT MAKE THEIR DEFECTED DASH CORRECT. I REALIZE OVER TIME ALL COMPONENTS OF A CAR HAVE WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS NOT THAT ISSUE AT ALL. THIS IS A ISSUE OF A DASH BEING USED THAT HAS A CHEMICAL WHILE IN SUN MELTS. THERE WAS TWO PRIOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND TO PREVENT A RECALL AND NOTIFYING ALL OWNERS OF THIS DEFECT AND CORRECTING IT FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS IN THEIR PRODUCT BUT ALSO DRIVERS IN OTHER AUTOS WHICH ARE NOW AT DANGER IF THIS VIABILITY CAUSES A CAMRY DRIVER TO COLLIDE WITH THEIR AUTO. THIS DEFECT EFFECTS ALL DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY NOT JUST THE TOYOTA DRIVERS. I HAVE BEEN TO AND CALLED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE AND MY FEAR OF DRIVING. I HAVE SIMPLY BEEN ABLE TO GET NO RECOURSE FOR THIS DEFECT. I AM VERY AWARE OF THE COST TO FIX THIS DEFECT HOWEVER I FEEL THE COST OF EVERY LIFE REPLACING THIS DASH SAVES IS WORTH WELL MORE THAN THE COST TO REPLACE THE DEFECTED DASH. I PLEAD FOR YOU TO INVESTIGATE A HUGE PROBLEM & THE TRAP INVOLVED WITH THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT TOYOTA IMPLEMENTED VERSUS RECALLING THE DASHBOARDS, GETTING THEM OFF THE ROAD TO MAKE HIGHWAY DRIVING SAFER FOR NON TOYOTA OWNERS SIMPLY DRIVING & OWNERS WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY PAY WITH THEIR LIFE. THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTDOORS, THE SUNLIGHT CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO MELT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A GLOSS THAT REFLECTED FROM THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. STOKES BROWN TOYOTA OF HILTON HEAD (100 FORDING ISLAND RD, BLUFFTON, SC 29910, (888) 994-0079) WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A WARRANTY REPAIR WAS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THE DEADLINE HAD BEEN EXCEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FRACTURED AND FELL DOWN, BLOCKING THE CONTACT VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SUN VISOR BROKE WHEN I WAS USING IT WHILE THE SUN WAS COMING DOWN. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE SUN BLINDS YOU. TOYOTA DOES NOT PRODUCE RELIABLE CARS LIKE THEY USED TO. *TR

SUN VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE DETACHED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT. SUN VISOR ON PASSENGER SIDE IS ROTATED DOWNWARD BLOCKING FIELD OF VISION. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. SUN VISOR WAS NOT TIGHT AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE, AND EVENTUALLY IT DROPPED DOWN IN THE CONSUMERS VIEW. *TA

THE DRIVER`S & PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T STAY WHERE IT SHOULD BE, NOT UP ALL THE WAY OR DOWN ALL THE WAY. VERY BAD VISIBILITY AND NOT COMFORTABLE FEELING . *TR

THE SUN VISOR SEEMS TO BE DEFECTED AND KEPT FALLING DOWN THEREFORE I HAD TO TAKE IT OUT. AND AM CLAIMING FOR A FIX OR A NEW ONE. *TR

THE DRIVER SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AD WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE CREATING A HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. THE VISOR IS IN MY FACE AND OBSTRUCTS MY VISION. *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR DROPPED DOWN OBSCURING VIEW OF THE ROAD. VISOR WAS PREVIOUSLY DEPLOYED TO BLOCK THE SUN. I READJUSTED THE VISOR TO BE CLOSER TO THE WINDSHIELD THEN SOMETHING WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY SNAPPED AND IT LOWERED. IN THE LOWERED POSITION IT IS IN THE POSITION WHERE IT BLOCKS THE MOST VIEW THROUGH THE WIND SHIELD. *TR

I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WEARING OUT ON 2007 CAMRY. NO RECALLS AND PEOPLE BEING LEFT TO PAY FOR REPAIR OR TO GET A REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY CAMRY. THE VISOR ARM BROKE OUT OF MY VISOR. IT FIRST WOULD NOT STAY UP WHEN NOT NEEDED THEN IT JUST COMPLETELY BROKE. I THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT THE VISOR WORE OUT. *TR

I ENTERED MY CAR AND NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WAS HANGING. I TRIED TO PUT IT UP, BUT IT KEPT FALLING DOWN ABOUT 3-4 INCHES, JUST SO IT WAS PERFECTLY IN MY EYESIGHT AND CREATING A HAZARD. I ENDED UP REMOVING THE SHADE COMPLETELY SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY AND IT WASN'T UNTIL TODAY THAT I DECIDED I WOULD SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR A REPLACEMENT SHADE FOR MY CAR THAT I FOUND COUNTLESS, IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS. THIS REALLY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING IT BLOCKS THE DRIVERS' VIEW OF THE ROAD. *TR

WHEN TOGGLED, PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OPENS WITH A BANG. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE WINDOW IS RAISED OR LOWERED SUBSEQUENTLY, THIS NOISE WILL NOT REOCCUR AGAIN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS LATER. *TR

I HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR .WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT ,IT WOULD NOT STAY UP & IT POPPED WHEN I WOULD PUT IT DOWN.NOW IT BROKE COMPLETELY OF THE ATTACHMENT .THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR JUST A VISOR .TOYOTA USES CHEAP SUN VISOR AND I ALREADY REPLACED IT 4 TIMES WITHIN LESS THAN 3 YEARS .RIGHT NOW MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR KEEP COMING DOWN IN MY FACE WHILE DRIVING .IT IS A HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED .TOYOTA OWNER NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND GIVE THIS ATTENTION IT NEEDS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO COME DOWN WHILE DRIVING. *TR

IN DRIVEWAY AT OUR HOME PASSENGER WENT TO MOVE VISOR AND DISCOVERED THE PART OF THE VISOR THAT SITS IN THE HOLDER TO KEEP IT IN PLACE WAS NO LONGER FIRM AND APPEARED TO BE COMING APART. IN ORDER NOT TO MAKE THE VISOR INOPERABLE, THE OWNERS DETERMINED NOT TO TRY TO MOVE THE VISOR TO KEEP IT FROM BECOMING FURTHER IMPAIRED. NOW WHEN THE SUN IS COMING INTO THE CAR WINDOW FROM THE SIDE MAKING PASSENGER OR DRIVER VISION DIFFICULT, THE VISOR IS OF NO USE IN BLOCKING IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER FLIPPED DOWN IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S LINE OF VISION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN FRONT OF CAR AND SOME OF OTHER TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND MOVE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY. WHEN PUSHED INTO UPWARD POSITION THE VISOR WILL SOMETIMES STAY UP UNTIL THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR DRIVER BEGINS TO DECELERATE, THEN VISOR FLIPS DOWN INTO LINE OF VISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISORS FAILED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. UPDATED 09/17/13*LJ

THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE SUN VISOR. I WAS DRIVING AND THE SUN VISOR JUST DROPPED DOWN IN FRONT OF MY FACE. I TRIED TO PUSH IT BACK UP BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY. I FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE OTHER SUN VISOR. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. REMOVED VISOR AND THE ENTIRE PLASTIC IS BROKEN. VISOR IS VERY RARELY USED AND ACCORDING TO INTERNET BLOGS THIS IS A VERY COMMON, RIDICULOUS ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AND BROKEN. IT CANNOT BE USED BECAUSE IT FLOPS DOWN INTO THE VISION OF THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. IT HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CAR. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT KEEPS FLOPPING DOWN AND AFFECTS VISIBILITY. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP ON IT'S OWN, ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THEY STOP, WHICH I COULDN'T SEE UNTIL I HAD PUSH THE SUN VISOR OUT OF THE WAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFELY PROBLEM THAT I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT BUT THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BEGAN FLAPPING DOWN, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALONG WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS UNFORTUNATELY THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD OCCURRED AS THE DRIVER (MYSELF) ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST IT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. THE VISOR NO LONGER WOULD STAY PUT AT ALL AND NEEDED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO REMOVE THE VISOR IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE CONSIDERED SAFE TO DRIVE, AND I DID NOT WANT TO PUT MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF GOING INTO ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING UNDER THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FLAW BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS CAMRY WHICH IS IN VERY GENTLY-USED CONDITION. *JB
