I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE A SERIOUS FAILURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEMS ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CARS. ON TUESDAY 9/6/11, THE BRAKE PEDAL ON OUR CAMRY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT. SHE HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN WHEN THE PEDAL CAME BACK UP IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. THIS HAS BEEN A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR HER AND WE CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAS GONE WRONG. WHEN I CHECKED THE LEVEL OF THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR IT WAS AT ITS NORMAL LEVEL BETWEEN MIN AND MAX. OUT OF SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND SON, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SO THAT THE COULD IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT I FELT THAT THEY WOULD BE THE BEST CHOICE. I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE A ANY CHANCES BY TAKING IT TO A LOWER COST REPAIR SHOP. AFTER HAVING THE CAR AT THE SERVICE CENTER OF THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE WHOLE DAY, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY SAID THAT THE BRAKE PADS ARE FINE AND THAT THEY STILL HAVE 60% LIFE REMAINING ON THEM, THERE IS NO BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE ANYWHERE AND THAT THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT AND THEY CAN NOT MAKE THE SAME FAILURE TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE SERVICE ADVISOR'S INPUT WAS THAT IN CASE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN JUST APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AND I DROVE IT MYSELF FOR A FEW MILES AND I DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES EITHE

SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON AUGUST 25TH 2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:00 PM, MY DAD WAS DRIVING TO GARVEY RANCH PARK LOCATED AT (781 S ORANGE AVE, MONTEREY PARK, CA 91755) AS PART OF HIS DAILY ROUTINE. HE HAD ALREADY PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND WAS GETTING READY TO PARK HIS CAR FACING NORTH BOUND. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF NOWHERE AND HOPED THE PARKING CURB STILL FACING NORTHBOUND. IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY CASUALTIES AND PREVENT HITTING ANY OF THE CHILDREN NEAR THE PLAYGROUND, HE WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR AND MADE A U-TURN AT ABOUT 150 DEGREES. AT THIS POINT HE WAS FACING SOUTH BOUND OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS. HIS CAR THEN HOPPED THE CURB ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT. ONCE THE CAR HOPPED THE PARKING CURB ON THE SOUTH SIDE, IT CONTINUED TO HOP OVER A COUPLE OF RAISED CONCRETE BLOCKS THAT DELINEATE A PATH ONTO THE HILLSIDE JUST SOUTH OF THE PARKING LOT. DUE TO THE STEEPNESS OF THE HILL, IT PREVENTED THE CAR FROM GOING ANY FURTHER AND THE CAR CRASHED IN BETWEEN TWO TREES LOCATED ON THE HILLSIDE. WE HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO LONGO TOYOTA DUE TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL BACK ON MARCH 13 2010. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE CAR STILL HAD MECHANICAL ISSUES AFTER WE HAD IT SERVICED IT FOR THE RECALL AND WAS GLAD THAT MY DAD DID NOT SUSTAIN A VERY SERIOUS INJURY. THE CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION IF AN NHTSA OFFICIAL WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT THE CAR. *TR

SUN VISOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT LONGER STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT HANGS DOWN, WHICH BLOCKS THE DRIVER'S VIEW TO TRAFFIC APPROACHING FROM THE RIGHT. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT DROPS OR COMPLETELY FALLS DOWN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND CAN CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT. MANY PEOPLE HAS REPORTED SAME KIND OF PROBLEM AND TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE ANY RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A TEAR AND WEAR ISSUE. IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECTS. *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. VEHICLE REQUIRES 1 QUART OF OIL ADDED EVERY 1000M. CURRENT MILEAGE ~42K. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION. VISOR HAS BEEN OPENED LESS THAN 100 TIMES IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. AFTER BEING OPENED, THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER OPERATE. IT HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN IMPAIRING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. A SUN VISOR IS ONE OF THE LAST ITEMS THAT SHOULD EVER BREAK IN A CAR. THE VISOR IS SUBSTANDARD AND CREATES A DANGEROUS VISIBILITY PROBLEM.

SUNVISOR ON DRIVER SIDE OF 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WILL NOT STAY UP. KEEPS FALLING INTO MY VISON WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE TO FIND A FIX, I REALIZE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I ALMOST HAD A WRECK THIS MORNING BECAUSE OF THE VISOR. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE HAS GONE THROUGH 3 SUN VISORS. THE FIRST DRIVERS SIDE I REPLACED. THE FIRST PASSENGER SIDE I JUST REMOVED AND NOW THE SECOND DRIVERS SIDE, I JUST REMOVED. I CALLED TOYOTA, AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK AND OUT OF WARRANTY. I BOUGHT A CAMRY BECAUSE I WANTED A FAMILY CAR THAT WAS SAFE AND WOULD HAVE LIMITED ISSUES. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG. TOYOTA IS A JOKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HINGE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE SUN VISOR TO DROP AND OBSTRUCT THE CONTACTS VIEW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE COST FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN SPARKS FLEW FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT, THEN CAME A POPPING SOUND. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME A FLAME CAME AFTER THE SPARKS. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55 MPH WHENEVER THIS HAPPENED, AND I WAS ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR (5:30 P.M.) TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER, BUT BY THEN THE FIRE WAS SPREADING ACROSS THE DRIVERS SEAT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY USING THE TIP OF MY TOES TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE FIRE BURNED MY PANT LEGS SIGNIFICANTLY, WHILE BURNING A COUPLE AREAS OF MY CALVES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT, BUT BY THEN MY CAR WAS TOTALED. THE FIREMAN AND MY INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR STATED THAT THEY BELIEVED THE FIRE STARTED BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN FROM MY POWER SEATS. LUCKILY, MYSELF NOR ANYONE ELSE WAS KILLED DURING THIS HORRENDOUS ORDEAL.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL NO LONGER RETRACT TO ITS NORMAL POSITION AND NOW HANGS AT AN AWKWARD ANGLE COMPROMISING MY FIELD OF VISION. AS THE SUN VISOR HAS RARELY BEEN USED OR EVEN TOUCHED, I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS AT FAULT AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS INCONVENIENT AND HAZARDOUS DEFECT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF 2007 CAMRY XLE DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT DROOPS OR COMPLETELY FALLS DOWN. STARTED ONE WEEK AGO, NO ACCIDENT OR CHANGE IN USE OF VISOR CAUSED THIS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THROUGH WATER AND IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE FAILURE, THE FRONT ROTARY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE SHAVED.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS FAILED. IT HAS FALLEN COMPLETELY DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I RARELY USE THE VISOR. AFTER SOME SEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. MY VISOR BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE FRONT ROAD AND ALSO PART OF MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN CALIFORNIA AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. THE REP STATED THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SUN VISOR DEFECT COMPLAINTS AND ARE "CALMLY" DECIDING IF AND HOW THE COMPLAINTS WILL BE ADDRESSED. THEY STATED THAT THERE WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT BE ANY REPAIR ASSISTANCE UNLESS THEY DECIDE TO ISSUE A RECALL. BASCIALLY SAYING THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT NO MATTER HOW COSTLY. THE DEALER QUOTED $134 PARTS NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THIS EXPENSE AT THE MOMENT AND HAVE REMOVED THE VISOR OUT OF SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY. FROM ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND, AND BY TOYOTA'S OWN ADMISSION REGARDING AWARENESS OF THE DEFECT, IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR BEING A SAFETY HAZARD AND MALFUNCTION OF EQUIPMENT. *TR

THE 2007 TOYOTA CARMY HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES AND IT IS CONCLUDED THAT IT IS A ENGINE DEFECT AS NO CAR SHOULD LOSE A QUART EVERY 600MILES! *TT

2007 CAMRY: THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS DROOPING DOWN AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. IT IS OBSTRUCTING THE VISION. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A WEAR AND TEAR BUT LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR/MODEL ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AS I READ ON THE INTERNET POSTS. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. *TT

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR JUST HANGS AND OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW. THE INTERNAL BRACKET THAT HOLDS IT UP GAVE OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE VISOR BECAUSE I AM TOLD THIS THINGS WEAR OUT. I TEND TO BELIEVE IT WAS ENGINEERED THIS WAY ON PURPOSE TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER BUY REPLACEMENT PARTS. CAN YOU LOOK INTO IT. HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BEGAN TO DROOP AND WOULD NOT STAY IN UPWARD OR DOWNWARD POSITION. FINALLY HAD TO REMOVE VISOR IN ORDER TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. NOW HAVE NO VISOR, AND SUN GLASSES DO NOT ALWAYS PROVIDE ENOUGH PROTECTION FROM THE SUN TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR DRIVING HAZARD....ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WITH LIGHT-SENSITIVE EYES. THE VISOR IS TOO COSTLY TO REPLACE EASILY FOR SOME PEOPLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. IT HAD BEEN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN PULLING IT DOWN FOR A FEW WEEKS AND FINALLY IT STARTED TO DROOP AND FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NOW IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL AND SEEMS TO BE CRACKED AT THE CONNECTION TO THE CEILING OF THE CAR. THE COST TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $180. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THIS CAN IMPEDE VISION WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION IMPAIRING VISION WHICH COULD LEAD TO A POTENTIAL MISHAP. 1. NO SPECIFIC EVENT. 2. FAILURE IS PERMANENT. *TR 3. REMOVED SUN VISOR AND HAVE STILL NOT REPLACED.

SUNVISOR STARTED MAKING POPPING NOISE WHEN BEING MOVED. IT THEN JUST FLOPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND BLOCKS VISION. IT HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WILL NEED TO BRING IT IN AND BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

BOTH SUN VISORS HAVE BROKEN AND WILL NOT LONGER REMAIN UP. DRIVER SIDE WAS HANGING STRAIGHT DOWN AND HAD TO BE REMOVED. PASSENGER SIDE WILL ONLY STAY UP AT ABOUT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. BOTH FAILED SUDDENLY AND OBSCURE DRIVER'S VISION. UPON REMOVING THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IT COULD BE SEEN THAT THE SEAM IN THE PLASTIC WAS BROKEN AND THE INTERNAL METAL CLIP THROUGH WHICH THE VISOR SHAFT PASSES SLIPS INSTEAD OF HOLDING FAST. NUMEROUS SMALL PIECES OF BROKEN PLASTIC FROM THE INSIDE WERE PROTRUDING OUT OF THE SEAM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR OF CAR IS DEFECTIVE, FOR NO REASON IT BECOMES UNSTUCK AND BEGINS TO DANGLE IN THE DRIVERS VISION CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING FOR ALL PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED IN MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ME EVEN USING IT, THE SUN VISOR WAS NOT IN USE WHEN IT LOST SUPPORT AND BEGIN TO DANGLE. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,300.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY; THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS "POPPED" & BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET, IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN A STATIONARY POSITION, AND HANGS LOOSELY, IN LINE-OF-SIGHT FOR DRIVING. I HAD TO PHYSICALLY HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND IN ORDER TO SEE CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING IN MID-DAY TRAFFIC. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I DECIDED TO REMOVE THE VISOR ENTIRELY BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS INTERFERENCE WHILE DRIVING. ON A SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT PART I FOUND A TOYOTA INTERNET FORUM, WHERE THIS IS FREQUENT COMPLAINT FOR 2007 AND 2008 CAMRY'S, SO IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW - ONE THAT CAN SERIOUSLY IMPAIR THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION AND CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FRACTURED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO SECURE IT IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED ON AN EMBANKMENT IN THE BACKYARD. THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALLS THAT WERE DONE ON THE VEHICLE, DIDN'T RESOLVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. *JB

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. VISOR SUDDENLY FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING OBSCURING MY VIEW. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM SURPRISED A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 4 YEARS AND APPROXIMATELY 96,00 MILES. *KB

FIRST MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR STARTED TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS BY MAKING A POPPING SOUND WHICH DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG. EVENTUALLY THE VISOR COMPLETELY GAVE OUT BY FALLING DOWN IN MY FACE AND MY HEAD WHILE DRIVING. I HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING IT IN POSITION AND FIGURING OUT HOW I CAN USE THE VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN. I HAD TO RIG THE VISOR WITH A SMALL BUNGEE CORD. I WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND EMBARRASSED BY THE CONTRAPTION TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE AND THE FUNCTION OF THE VISOR. AFTER MONTHS OF FRUSTRATION AND EMBARRASSMENT I TOOK THE VISOR OUT. THEN SOON AFTER OF REMOVING THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE THE SAME THING STARTED TO HAPPEN ON THE PASSENGER VISOR. TALK ABOUT BEING HUMILIATED AND UPSET WITH TOYOTA. AS THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR FOR EX. RECENT RECALLS, BELTS REPLACED, THE COST TO HAVE MY IGNITION COILS REPLACED THEN NOT TO SOON AFTER THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. EXPENSIVE!!! I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPLACEMENT AND COST AND POSSIBILITY OF A RECALL ON THIS AFTER READING HOW MANY OTHER 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAD NO LUCK WITH TOYOTA AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE DUE TO COSTS. I JUST DEAL WITH THE SUN IN MY EYES WHILE DRIVING. *KB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN. IT WAS HANGING ALREADY, BUT NOW IT JUST DROOPS IN THE SIGHTS MAKING IT HARD FOR ME TO SEE TRAFFIC.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS FAILED. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST A BIT LOOSE SO I DIDN'T REALLY MIND. NOW IT HAS FALLEN ALMOST COMPLETELY DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. NORMAL WEAR MIGHT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED EXCEPT MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD AND I RARELY USE THE VISOR. AFTER SOME SEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. MY VISOR BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE FRONT ROAD AND ALSO PART OF MY REARVIEW MIRROR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $134 PARTS NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THIS EXPENSE AT THE MOMENT SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE THE VISOR. FROM ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR BEING A SAFETY HAZARD AND MALFUNCTION OF EQUIPMENT. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY XLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A SMART KEY SYSTEM. WHEN I ENTER THE CAR I DEPRESS THE FOOT BREAK PEDDLE AND WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE START BUTTON TO TURN GREEN WHEN IT DOES I START THE CAR. BUT SOME TIME THERE IS NO LIGHT YELLOW OR GREEN. I WAIT A SHORT WHILE AND TRY AGAIN AND MAYBE THERE IS A GREEN LIGHT OR A YELLOW LIGHT OR NOTHING. I CHANGED THE REMOTE BATTERY BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAMRY IN FOR A TEST AND THE COST WILL BE $ 90.00 I THINK THIS IS NOT FAIR. I TALKED TO SEVERAL CAMRY OWNERS AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HELP PLEASE.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. IT HAS APPROX. 37,000 MILES. MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP OR IN POSITION AND THEN ENDED UP FALLING OFF COMPLETELY SEVERAL DAYS LATER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY ARE ORDERING A NEW VISOR. THIS IS GOING TO COST APPROX. $130.00 OUT OF POCKET, BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

RECENTLY THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. IT BEGAN TO SLOWLY COME DOWN AND HANG IN FRONT OF ME AS IF I HAD PULLED IT DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN. IF I PUSH IT BACK UP IT JUST COMES RIGHT BACK DOWN. I'M NOT ABLE TO PUSH IT TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY EITHER. IT JUST FALLS BACK DOWN. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING I CANNOT SEE THE STOPLIGHTS WHEN THE VISOR IS IN THE WAY. ALSO IT CAUSED ME TO ALMOST REAR-END ANOTHER VEHICLE. I COULD REMOVE THE VISOR SO THAT I COULD SEE BETTER, BUT THIS WOULD CAUSE ME TO BE BLINDED BY THE SUN. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL SITES WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND TRIED CALLING THE DEALERSHIPS TO GET THIS FIXED JUST AS THEY HAVE. BUT THE DEALERS WANT OVER $100 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. CONSIDERING THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH JUST ONE OR TWO TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS, TOYOTA SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO GO ON ANY LONGER. TO NOT RECALL THESE VISORS WILL EVENTUALLY, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY, BE THE CAUSE OF SOMEONE'S LIFE BEING LOST. *TR

VISIBILITY SAFETY WITH BROKEN SUN VISOR /DRIVER'S SIDE TORQUE PIN WILL NOT STAY UP AND FLOPS DOWN. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL/YEAR ARE NOTED ON SEVERAL WEB SITES. SUCH AS TOYOTANATION.COM. PLEASE REVIEW THIS FOR A RECALL AS DEALER COSTS ARE VERY HIGH FOR A SAFETY ISSUE ON A 4-5 YEAR OLD CAR.
