2011 Toyota Camry visibility complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 120 of 120, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The sun visor on the driver side will not stay up. I learned that toyota issued a warranty enhancement for sun visor assemblies on certain 2007 - 2011 camry vehicles. I called toyota customer support and was told that my car was not included in the warranty extension. I would like to file a complaint against toyota since my car year model falls within the year models affected, and clearly I have a problem with the sun visor not staying up.
The sun visor stopped working properly and would not stay up or would not stay where I put it and would affect my visibility when driving. Ultimately, the visor became detached. This is apparently a known problem to toyota. My vehicle (a 2011 camry) is not within the "extended warranty" coverage that toyota has implemented for this known problem. It doesn't make sense that toyota knows the sun visor is a problem, has recalled some vehicles because of this problem, but refuses to include other vehicles--manufactured in the same year as those vehicles included in the recall, no less--that are also experiencing the same problem. If you can "encourage" or force toyota to extend their "extended warranty"/sun visor recall to other vehicles experiencing the same problem, I would appreciate it. As it is now, I will have to pay out of pocket for the repair, and this will be a hardship as my family is experiencing severe financial problems.
This vehicle has approximately 22 thousand miles, and the problem is with the sun visors that come down unexpectedly and block view of the road. Toyota says that there was a recall but my car was not included! I believe that it is a dangerous problem.
The sun visor on the drive side went into the down position and when I tried to put it back up it would not stay. After a few days the entire visor fell off. Not long after the the passenger side did the same thing. Have not heard anything from toyota. I was told it was only certain vehicles. Still waiting to hear if mines is one of them.

Purchased vehicle sept 2013 with approx 44,000 miles on it. Around april 2014 started to hear sounds like something was loose inside the car. Sounded metallic. It was due for service at 50,000 miles so I took it in. Mentioned the knocking metallic sound and they said it was the moonroof. I couldn't quite figure how they know that so soon but I couldn't leave it that day all day, just for the service. I brought it back today and they said it was definitely the moonroof. It was out of warranty so it cost me $248 to fix. When I came home I looked it up on the toyota forum and, bingo, there were numerous complaints from owners of various years. So that's why they knew what it was right away. There are also a number of complaints here with the safer.gov site.
The problem with the car is the sun visors. First they started to hang low wouldn't stay up. One day on my way back home from work I was driving in the highway, they just completely fell. I had to hold them up the whole entire time I was driving. They kept blocking my view and they were distracting and a safety hazard. Toyota refuses to fix them cause they are no longer cover under warranty.
The sun visor on the driver side became tight. Within a day, it would not stay up and while driving it simply started dangling and had to be pulled off. I am waiting to hear from the dealer how they will correct this. I have seen many reports about the same problem on your website. This is a safety issue and the design/manufacturing appears to be a problem. If a tsb does not exist, it should be sent by toyota to dealers to correct this problem.
The sunvisor on the driver side falls down blocking the drivers vision. This is a serious safety issue that could lead to the loss of life. This should be a recall. Toyota has recalled some vehicles with this same problem but only ones with a certain VIN number. Mine is not covered and no notice was received from toyota. The repair of this I am on my own! I should of been contacted by toyota and the vehicle should be recalled! I wonder how many accidents or near accidents there has been? It is only a matter of time before someone dies!
On the way to work driving on the highway, the drivers side sun visor flopped down and made me jump and hit my forehead on it. Now it will not go back in to place, just flops around. Seems something inside split apart on the top by the arm holding it. Startled me and it was a pain all the way in. Had to hold it up to be able to see good. I then called my local dealer (after reading info online) to see if it was covered under the extended warranty I read about and he laughed. Never offered to check, just said he was not surprised and that I was not alone and that everyone out there has a broken one. I then called toyota and was informed that my car was not included in extension. They were very nice but could not answer why only some were and some weren't even though they had the same ongoing problems. Guess those of us not covered will have to fix at our own expense even though it is a known problem and some cars made the same year are covered. Interesting way to do business...
Driver sun visor broke off. I went to a toyota dealer to get this fixed the day after it fell and was there for over an 1 hr. The part is on back order and I paid $90.99 for the part and the part is on back order for 3 to 6 weeks. I called toyota services and after being on the line for one hour, toyota will reimburse the part; but not the labor; which will be over $30.00. The reimbursement will also take several weeks. I looked on youtube and it seems that this is a factory defect that is affecting several toyota camry's since 2007; mine is a 2011. I was told since this item is not in a recall I won't be reimbursed completely. Please order them to fix this defect.
My sunvisor does not retract all the way up and is now blocking my driving vision. I have to take it off the regular position and move it as close as possible to the driver side window. This now partially blocks my driver side view. Read csc-10046281-9258 but was disappointed that my VIN was not included. There is obviously more vehicles affected than advertised.
I was driving on route 50 over the kent narrow bridge in maryland when I heard a loud crash. I then heard the sound of wind and glass breaking. I look up at my sunroof and saw broken glass and a large hole in the sun roof. The sun roof exploded out, so there was very little glass in the car. I did not see any objects that would have cause this or any trucks near me that would have dropped anything. Thank god the sun roof exploded out and no broken glass came into the car which could have resulted in a severe accident. Toyota is bulking at covering this under warranty. This is a severe safety issue and should be look at very carefully. I have pictures if needed.
I have a 2011 toyota camry se. At around 5,000 miles when it was time to take it in for service, oil change, tire rotation etc. I had a type of squeaking crackling noise that I would hear when pulling in and out of driveway. I took it in and toyota service department knew right away what it was. It was the supports for the sunroof that needed to be fixed. They advised that the noise would only get louder and louder. They had it there for two days gluing/bonding supports. On august 10, 2011 I was driving my car when I heard a loud explosion. I looked at all my glass windows and didn't notice what had until glass was flying on the passenger side of the car. I pulled over and that is when I saw my sunroof glass broken. The strange thing about the glass was that it looked a volcano. It was shattered from the outer part of the sunroof glass to the middle. Almost like there was pressure built up and it only had one way of shooting up and out. I called toyota to make an appointment for that day. I went in that afternoon and explained everything I just wrote to their service department. I also mentioned that the work order history had where they fixed the supports on the sunroof/ he said they would look at the car tomorrow and let me know. I received a phone call from them the next day stating that I had to get a hold of my insurance claim adjuster so they could go look at damages. He had talked to toyota warranty department and they came to a conclusion that they were not going to cover damages. He stated that it seemed like a rock had hit it. I spent the next 10 days waiting for my car to get fixed and on top of everything, I had to pay rental fees for the 10 days because toyota does not offer free rental service to customers. They also don't direct bill your insurance company so you can pay only the percent stated on insurance policy. I had to pay them the full amount and take it up with my insurance. I paid my insurance deductible and then took the car.
I bought a 2011 toyota camry two and a half months ago--problem is the rear window during night driving on the freeway with many car headlights hitting the window and the rearview(mirror-- the image on the rear view mirror is like viewing a wet spider web with a scintillating grid because of the wires embedded in the glass,(whether for defrost or radio reception ido not know) this grid in the rear window causes a distorted image --it is a dangerous situation because the image suffers from 'image static' which causes the driver to sort out the headlights from the 'static'--it is very tiresome drivingat night on the freeway--try it and you should see there is something not right--I have never experienced this in other cars--it is unsafe, the window should not break up the light coming through it -very distracting.
On a hot day while parked, the front windshield of my 2011 toyota camry developed a very large crack.
On my toyota camry '07 xle my passenger's sun visor started to fail to stay upright. Broke and fell off it's hinge while driving the car. Took it to the dealer and there's no warranty or recall. Car only has 31000 miles. While doing research, encountered that is a current incident among this car owners.
While driving on a highway at 55-60 MPH in a sunny day, the front windshield of toyota camry 2011 on the driver side suddenly cracked from upper left corner and gradually extended towards the middle of the windshield.
My new car has a 'vor' lens which results in half the windshield darkened during low beam use. This 'ece' style lighting is totally distracting and I believe dangerous in a dark, rural setting. Motorists are refusing to 'beam down' when approaching since they're uncomfortable with half the windshield dark! Off the main roadway has it's problems when more than half the window becomes very dark, very quickly. Over use of high beams will have unintended consequences. Original sae lighting should be available for retrofit for the north american market.
