2011 Toyota Camry

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HAND, HEAD, RIGHT KNEE, AND SHOULDER. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR IN OPERATION, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE ACCIDENTS. NO SCREWS TO TIGHTEN TO STOP VISOR FROM FALLING DOWN. DANGEROUS. FINALLY AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING TO KEEP VISOR UP I HAD TO HOT GLUE THE VISOR TO TOP OF CAR; NOW I CANNOT USE VISOR QUICKLY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. MIGHT NEED TO NOTE THAT RARELY WAS VISOR EVER USED.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION ZTT AND HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL JUST DROP INTO THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROADWAY AND DISTRACTING ME AS A REACH TO MANIPULATE IT OUT OF MY VIEW. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: JUNE 15, 2016 HEADING TO THE EXPRESSWAY ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CAR STARTED TO BOUNCE. I PULLED INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED. SECOND INCIDENT SEPTEMBER 22,2016 I WAS OUT OF TOWN, AND THE CAR STARTED TO REPEAT THE SAME AS IN JUNE. I PULLED INTO A TIRE SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE STEEL BELT. AGAIN, I EXPLAINED TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR. HE ADVISED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE CAR SET WITHOUT MOVEMENT, PRIOR TO SELLING AND THE WEATHER BEAT THE TIRES. HE PLACED THE TIRE IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. IN BOTH INCIDENTS: TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN STEEL BELT INSIDE THE TIRE WALL.

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.
