DRIVERS SIDE VISOR PART BROKE AND COMPROMISES DRIVERS VISIBILITY. DRIVER BUMPS INTO VISOR WITH FOREHEAD WHEN DRIVING. TRUNK LATCH AT TOP WAS GIVING ME TROUBLE. GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOESN'T ALWAYS WANT TO CLOSE VERY WELL. FOAM AROUND CAR DOOR COMING OUT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ON ANY CAR I OWNED OR HAVE DRIVEN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT TOYOTA CORPORATION EXPENSE. I LOVE DRIVING A CAMRY BUT SOME OF THE PARTS INSIDE ARE BREAKING AND ITS DISAPPOINTING. I USED TO HAVE A 1994 CAMRY THAT I PURCHASED USED IN 2004, AND IT NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BOUGHT THE 2011 CAMRY USED AND LOVE THE WAY IT DRIVES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE VISOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DROPPING AND NOW CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME DRIVING DURING THE DAY AND MOSTLY AT NIGHT AS IT HIDES HALF OF MY FIELD OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND EVERYONE KEEPS STATING THE VIN NUMBER FALLS OUT OF THE RANGE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS LINK HERE SAYS DIFFERENTLY: HTTP://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-4 IT SAYS THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS DESPITE MILEAGE FOR THIS DROPPING VISOR. IT IS AFFECTING MY DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND BEING ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE OF THEIR DEFECT IN VISORS FOR THIS CAR. I'VE TRIED TAPING IT, PUSHING IT BACK, FORWARD, EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS. THIS VISOR DEFECT HAS CAUSED ME ANXIETY WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN VISIBILITY NOT IN MY OWN SELF BUT IN THIS TOYOTA VEHICLE. I AM SIMPLY REQUESTING THEM TO CHANGE THE VISOR FOR ME AND HELP ME RESOLVE THIS TO HELP ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT SEEMS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT Y SAFETY OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COULD NOT STAY UP AND WAS EVENTUALLY BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY WHICH CREATES SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DRIVER IS FACING THE SUN. TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CAMRY FROM 2007-2011 BUT MY 2011 WAS NOT WITHIN THE VIN RANGE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY.

IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT THEN I RIPPED THE THING OFF SO I COULD SEE. THIS REALLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE INCIDENTS, AND APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE CURRENT LIST. UNACCEPTABLE.
