THE DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH STARTED TO SMOKE, AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE AND PRESSING THE SWITCH TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND MY CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. ONCE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED MY CAR WAS NO LONGER SMOKING. THE FIREFIGHTERS COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE SMOKE BUT STATED IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THEY RECOMMENDED I HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF MELTED ELECTRICAL WIRES. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED MY MASTER SWITCH WAS SHORTING OUT AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS PAST 35,000 FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED DUE WARPAGE ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS (9/2010 & 9/2012-80K).

OTHER TIMES STEERING WOULD VISIBLY SHAKE, BUT NOT TO THE POINT OF SHAKING OUT OF YOUR HAND, WHEN TRAVELING IN TOWN AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WAS KIND OF ROUGH, PAST ONE YEAR. IT WON'T MOVE OR WILL GET JAMMED. LAST WEEK IT CAME APART WITH METAL HOOK HANGING. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I KEEP MY CAR LIKE A BABY. IT'S IN IMMACULATE CONDITION (JUST LIKE OUT OF SHOWROOM CONDITION) IT WAS EXTREMELY FREIGHTING AS IT WILL KEEP FALLING OFF EVERY FEW MILES. I HAD TO DUCT TAPE THE WHOLE THING, SO AS TO DRIVE BACK HOME. PLS.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN "UP" POSITION. IT WILL DROP DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND CAN BE DANGEROUS. I FINALLY HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR COMPLETELY FROM THE CAR, WHICH CAUSES ANOTHER DRIVING HAZARD DURING PERIODS OF BRIGHT SUN LIGHT (EVEN WITH SUN GLASSES ON). SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA OWNERS WEBSITE. SHOULD BE RECALLED. DEALER WANTS $200 TO REPAIR. *TR

08/15/12, MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RADIO AS WELL AS ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASH WENT COMPLETELY DEAD FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY, AND ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION WITHIN 2 MINUTES. I PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE AND 10 MINUTES LATER THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, I FOUND THAT MY TREAD HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AND WHEN IT PEELED AWAY , IT TOOK PART OF MY BUMPER AWAY. I GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THIS CAR. I JUST PURCHASED IT A YEAR AGO.THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM, NO NOISE, NO "LIGHT" NOTHING. JUST BOOM. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FALLEN INTO MY VIEW. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH THIS DEFECT. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. DEFECTIVE PART. I USED TO OWN A 1997 TOYOTA CAMRY AND DROVE OVER 200,000 MILES AND THE SUN VISOR WAS FINE. I WAS SEARCHING ON THE WEB TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PART BUT INSTEAD FOUND A WEBSITE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POSTED HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART. HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/104-5TH-6TH-GENERATION-2002-2006-2007-2011/343284-2007-CAMRY-SUN-VISOR-PROBLEM-2.HTML ADDITIONALLY, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING A RECALL ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM AND TRIED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT THROUGH AN EMAIL WITH COURTESY TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO MY INQUIRY NOR WILLING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO CURE THE RECALL ISSUE.

ON AUGUST 24TH , 2012, AROUND 4:34PM, I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ON RIDGE ROAD IN DAYTON NJ. ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELL SOMETHING LIKE BURNING PLASTIC,SECONDS LATER I OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE POWER-WINDOW SWITCH. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND AS SOON AS I JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, A SMALL FLAME APPEARED FROM THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH. WHILE CALLING 911 FOR HELP, I MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH A GALLON OF TIDE DETERGENT I HAVE IN MY TRUNK BEFORE DAYTON FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. I AM NOT SURE IF TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T WHERE TO LODGE MY COMPLAIN. THE IS CURRENTLY AT DCH COLLISION CENTER WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO INSPECT. *TR

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR JUST HANG DOWN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THESE SUN VISOR ARE HORRIBLE IS QUALITY. I CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN UTILIZING LATCH SYSTEM MY OTHER CHILDREN CAN'T ACCESS THEIR SAFETY BELTS IN BACK SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THE SUN VISOR IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR STOPPED WORKING AND BECAME INCREASINGLY WORSE, AND TOYOTA WANTED AN ARM AND A LEG TO REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER THAT WON'T LAST ANY LONGER. WHEN I HEARD THE PRICE TO REPLACE A SUN VISOR, I FELT LIKE IT WAS A SCAM TO RAISE REVENUE. NOW, THE DROOPY VISOR SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRS VISIBILITY, AND TOYOTA SUPPOSEDLY HAS A RECALL, BUT MY DEALER IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED. HAD TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE, WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED, BUT THEY ARE DEFERRING BACK TO MY DEALER AND WHO KNOWS WHEN THEY'LL CONTACT ME. MEANWHILE I HAVE TO HUNCH DOWN TO DRIVE IN ORDER TO SEE. TRYING TO LIMIT DRIVING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I THINK THIS IS THE FOURTH RECALL THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD. I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS. AND THE LIGHT IN THE TRUNK NO LONGER WORKS EITHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE CONTACT INTENTIONALLY CRASHED INTO A CEMENT PARKING BLOCK IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ASSISTED BY OFFERING THE CONTACT $400 TOWARD THE REPAIR EXPENSES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. UPDATED 10/10/12 *CN

THE SUN VISOR HANGS DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, NATURALLY, CREATING A HAZARD. THE ITEM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE PRIOR TO NOW (5/9/09 & 6/24/2010) FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR REPLACED LAST YEAR (2011) DUE TO SAME ISSUE: VISOR DIRECTLY IMPACTED DRIVER'S VIEW. SUN VISOR ON PASSENGER SIDE NOW DROOPING AFTER SHIFTING POSITION TO PUT SUN SHADE IN PLACE. EXACT SAME PROBLEM. DROOP GETTING WORSE; VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN POSITION AND IMPEDES DRIVER'S PERIPHERAL VIEW. *TR

SUN VISOR ON DRIVER SIDE JUST DROPPED WHILE DRIVING, IMPEDING MY VISION OF TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER RESEARCHING ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT, SO I DECIDED TO REPORT IT. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. THE ARM THAT GOES INTO THE SUN VISOR CAME OUT OF THE SUN VISOR. IT SEEMS THAT IT BROKE THE PLASTIC INSIDE THE VISOR THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE. THIS CAUSED THE VISOR TO KEEP FALLING AND NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT HAD A GOOD CHANCE OF CREATING A HAZARD SO I COMPLETELY REMOVED THE VISOR. THE TAB ON THE BAR THAT ALLOWS THE VISOR TO SNAP INTO PLACE HAS BECOME VERY STIFF TO WHERE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ROTATE AROUND. THE STIFFNESS OF THE ARM SEEMS TO BE WHAT PROBABLY BROKE THE PLASTIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE SUN VISOR FELL TO THE DOWN POSITION AND REMAINED IN THAT POSITION, WHICH COMPLETELY BLOCKED THE DRIVER'S VISION OF THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC. THE VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION. *TR

ON SATURDAY AUGUST 11 2012 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH THEN I SMELLED SMOKE, SECONDS LATER I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BY THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I PULLED OVER AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY THEN I TOOK THE DOOR APART AND OBSERVED THE ACTUAL WINDOW SWITCH MELTED. I DISCONNECTED THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE HOME SAFELY AND ARE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR TOMORROW MONDAY AS THE TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT OPEN ON SUNDAY'S. NOW IM NOT ABLE TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE WINDOWS BUT AT LEAST I PREVENTED MY CAR FROM CATCHING ON FIRE. *TR

THE VISOR MIRROR DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS BLOCKS MY VISIBILITY BY 80% AND IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE AT MY FULL POTENTIAL. *TR

ALL FOUR TIRE WHEEL HUBS ARE RUSTING OUT. THIS COULD CREATE A HAZARD. MANUFACTURER SHOULD CORRECT WHEEL HUB DEFECT AT NO COST TO CUSTOMER. *TR

BOTH HEADLIGHT PLASTIC COVER LENSES ARE HAZY AND UNCLEAR CREATING A DIMINISHED HEADLIGHT DISTANCE. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ADDRESS FOR FREE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED TO DROP AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT HAS BROKEN INSIDE THE PLASTIC CASE. IT IMPAIRS THE DRIVERS VISION AND I'VE SEEN ON THE WEB THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 CAMRYS. *TR

FIRST THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED DROPPING AND WON'T STAY UP, THEN ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING. DEALER SAYS COST IS OVER $200 TO REPLACE EACH ONE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I SEE IN THE TOYOTA FORUMS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON REPLACING THE VISORS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE VISOR BLOCKS 33% OF YOUR VISION. ESPECIALLY FRUSTRATING AT NIGHT. *TR

I HAD MY OIL CHANGED ABOUT 5,000 MILES PREVIOUSLY TO A MOMENT WHEN MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON BARELY, AND THEN FLASHED BACK OFF. I DECIDED TO CHECK IT, JUST IN CASE, AND FOUND THAT I WAS TOTALLY WITHOUT OIL. I WENT TO TOYOTA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAD WAITED LONGER THAN SIX MONTHS TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE. I GOT THE OIL CHANGE, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEY THEN BEGAN AN "OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK" WHERE I BRING THE CAR IN EVERY 1000 MILES TO SEE IF IT HAS CONSUMED TOO MUCH OIL. AT THIS POINT IN MY OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK, AFTER ABOUT 3000 MILES, I'VE BURNED ABOUT 1.5 QUARTS OIL, ACCORDING TO THEM. THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 45K ON IT, AND I SAY IT SHOULDN'T BE BURNING SO MUCH OIL. THE CAR ALSO DOESN'T START AS RESPONSIVELY AS IT OUGHT TO. THE OIL ALSO LOOKS VERY DIRTY. TOYOTA CONTINUES TO TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL, BUT MANY CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES I'VE NOTICED IN ONLINE FORUMS, ETC., AND I SUSPECT TOYOTA IS AVOIDING TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN ENGINE PROBLEM. *TR

SUN VISOR WAS FINE, AND NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING IN MODERATE TRAFFIC THE SUN VISOR JUST FLOPPED DOWN OBSCURING MY VISION. IT WOULD NOT STAY BACK UP. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP WITH ONE HAND AND DRIVE WITH THE OTHER UNTIL I GOT HOME. IT IS NOW TAPED ONTO MY SUNROOF WITH DUCT TAPE. NOT GOOD AT ALL! *TR
