2011 Toyota Camry Body & Structure Problems

Your sun visors are breaking and won't stay in place. The passenger visor broke years ago and couldn't be lowered, and your driver's visor recently failed and fell down while you were driving, blocking your view and creating a safety hazard. You're aware that 2006-2011 Camrys were recalled for this issue, but your VIN wasn't included in the recall. Replacing both visors typically involves removing the old hardware and installing new sun visor assemblies.

Your dashboard has developed a sticky, shiny surface that won't clean off and is starting to come apart. Toyota informed you about a 2018 class action settlement that covered dashboard replacements, but you didn't receive the notice and missed the 2021 deadline. You're concerned this sticky residue creates a driving hazard due to glare and may affect airbag function as the dashboard continues to deteriorate.

Your dashboard is bubbling and disintegrating, which causes sun glare to reflect onto your windshield and obstruct your vision while driving. Both the recall and technical service bulletin (TSB) for this issue have expired, so Toyota won't provide assistance. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the dashboard pad.

Your dashboard vinyl has degraded and become sticky, leaving fingerprints when touched. During hot weather, you may notice a burnt plastic smell coming from the vents. Your dealer refused to repair it, and while Toyota had a Customer Support Program for this issue, it has since expired.

Your dashboard has melted and become sticky to the touch. Additionally, both the driver and passenger side sun visors are malfunctioning — the driver side visor has come unhinged, and the passenger side visor won't stay up and hangs down. The fix will likely involve replacing the dashboard pad and both sun visors.

Subject: Concern Regarding Toyota Camry 2011 LXE Dashboard Issue - VIN: [XXX] Dear NHTSA, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding a significant safety issue with the dashboard of my Toyota Camry 2011 LXE, VIN: [XXX] . We purchased this vehicle brand new and have maintained it diligently over the years. However, we have never received any recall notices concerning this issue, despite the dealer's claim that they were sent. The problem we are experiencing with our vehicle's dashboard is a sticky and peeling surface. Over time, the dashboard's material has deteriorated, becoming sticky and disintegrating. This poses a hazardous situation while driving, affecting both the aesthetics of the vehicle and safety due to impaired visibility and potential distraction. While I understand that Toyota has recognized this problem in other Toyota Camry vehicles and initiated a recall, our vehicle's VIN has been excluded from the recall list. We strongly believe that this issue is systemic and not confined to a specific range of VINs, and thus, our car should also be included in the recall. We kindly request the NHTSA's assistance in ensuring that our concerns are addressed promptly. We urge you to investigate the matter further and encourage Toyota to extend the recall to include our vehicle and others facing a similar issue. It is crucial to uphold safety and quality standards for automobiles in the United States, prioritizing the well-being of drivers and passengers. Furthermore, we would appreciate your guidance on the process to formally address this issue with Toyota. Our previous attempts to resolve the matter directly with the manufacturer have been unsuccessful, as they denied our request to include our vehicle in the recall. If you could provide information on the necessary steps to escalate our case or mediate with the manufacturer, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention on this INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The dashboard has become sticky and I am sensitive to the fumes it is giving off when I drive. I have to allow the car to air out as I have become dizzy when first entering the vehicle. I've contacted the dealer and was told a recall was performed, but I never received notice. No one has inspected my car, but this issue is well known by Toyota. There are no indicators of this issue other than the sticky dashboard and the fumes.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT BANK OF AMERICA IN LITHONIA, GA AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T STOP IT UNTIL IT HIT A LIGHT POLE LOCATED BEHIND THE CAR. IT WAS A LOUD IMPACT BUT THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I WERE NOT INJURED NOR DID WE INJURE ANOTHER PERSON OR THEIR VEHICLE. IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SPARED OUR LIVES BECAUSE IT WAS AT 9:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BANK. I HAVE HAD OTHER EPISODES OF ACCELERATION WHICH I REPORTED TO TOYOTA IN 2012 WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ACCIDENT WHICH COST 12,000 IN REPAIRS.THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DID EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL EPISODES OF ACCELERATION AFTER THAT INSPECTION BUT NO ACCIDENTS UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2020. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012.

CAR PARKED, ENGINE OFF, WHILE CHECKING FLUIDS, THE HOOD SUPPORT LINKS FAILED AND THE HOOD HIT ME IN THE HEAD. VIA TELEPHONE, TOYOTA REP @ HEADQUARTERS SAID THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO RECALL BLAH BLAH BLAH. UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING 9 YEARS OLD, THESE PARTS ARE NEVER USED AND SHOULD FUNCTION. HOW OFTEN IS THE HOOD OPENED? VERY RARELY. FAULTY DESIGN PERHAPS OR MY IGNORANCE? THANK YOU.

MY 2011 CAMRY IS SUPER WHITE AND THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY COME OFF. I NOTICED ALL THE SHINE WAS GONE SO I TOOK IT IN FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A WAX JOB AND HE INFORMED ME THE CLEAR COAT IS COMPLETELY GONE. I STARTED TO NOTICE IT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I WASH MY CAR, THE WHITE PAINT COMES OFF. I ALSO HAVE A FEW RUST SPOTS THAT HAVE STARTED TO FORM IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

INITIALLY THE SUN VISOR WILL FELL AND BLOCK SOME DRIVER SIDE VIEW. AFTER A YEAR OR 2 LATER, IT COMPLETELY FELL AND WILL BLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE VIEW. THIS IS A HAZARD CONDITION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, TOYOTA ISSUED WARRANTY BULLETIN(POL12-03) TO REPLACE CERTAIN VIN RANGE OF THE CAMRY 07~11, MINE IS THE 2011, HOWEVER I DO NOT SEE THE VIN IN THAT DOCUMENT. I'VE BOUGHT 3 NEW CAMRY IN THE PAST, ONLY THIS ONE HAS THE PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE INTERNET, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE TOYOTA.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLING DOWN NOT STAYING UP. THE BASE PART OF THE SUM VISOR BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE BODY OF THE SUN VISOR MAKING IT HARD TO OUT THE SUN VISOR BACK UP BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONED WHEN I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE SUN VISOR FALL HALF WAY DOWN. AFTER A LONG DRIVE OUT OF STATE, ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SUN VISOR DROPED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP

HI THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE ARM REST WHICH IS CRACKED BECAUSE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND IT FLEXING I THINK ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHILE YOU DRIVING FOR LONG HOURS AND YOU NEED TO REST YOUR ARM ITS NOT RELAYABLE YOUR ARM DIPS IN THE HOLE INSTEAD OF COMFORT I HOPE IT EXPLAINS RITE

PAINT TOO WEAK, START TO CORROSION ON HOOD ,TOP. PARKING OUTSIDE.

SUN VISORS IN NUMEROUS TOYOTA MODELS HAVE A DEFECT RECOGNIZED BY TOYOTA, HOWEVER ONLY CERTAIN MODELS ARE BEING COVERED UNDER THE "LIMITED EXTENDED WARRANTY". THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NOT MADE CLEAR OR PUBLIC TO THE CAR OWNERS, INSTEAD ONLY TURNING UP IN GOOGLE SEARCHES OF WHY THEIR SUN VISOR WAS FAILING. TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DEFECT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL IN THE EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN'S PROPOSED. THE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING INTO THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT AND WILL NOT STAY UP, CAUSING LIMITED VISION AND DISTRACTED DRIVING. IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN MY HOUSEHOLD AS WE ALL DRIVE TOYOTAS, TWO OF WHICH ARE CAMRY'S. I HAVE TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH MY HAND WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS TO SEE STREET LIGHTS, AND MY FIELD OF SIGHT IS GREATLY DIMINISHED WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IS STOPPED UNTIL I AM VERY CLOSE TO IT. DRIVING WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR UP IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL WITH JUST ONE HAND IN A DEFENSIVE SITUATION. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE YET TOYOTA STILL REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, ONLY "APOLOGIZING" AND CHOOSING TO COVER JUST ENOUGH CARS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS SITUATION IS LIKELY TO END IN A FATALITY DUE TO TOYOTA'S CARELESSNESS ON THIS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A STICKY RESIDUE THAT PROGRESSED AND CAUSED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY A CLOTH OVER THE AREA BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 11/2010. ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER, THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY. I THOUGHT IF WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. AS TIME PASSED IT GOT WORSE AND IT'S CAUSING A VERY BAD GLARE. I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE WHAT CAUSES THIS AND CAME ACROSS AN ACTION SUIT AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH MY SUN VISORS CONTINUOUSLY DROPPING. THIS TOO WAS A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE "LIST". I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TO SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND "IF IN THE FUTURE, THEY RECEIVE A CHANGE, THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME. I FIND THIS DISTURBING THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" YET I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE HAVING, I DO NOT QUALIFY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I WANTED TO PASS THE CAR DOWN TO MY SON, BUT BEFORE I DO, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WHICH WILL COST OVER 900.00. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE BUYING MY FUTURE CAR FROM TOYOTA.

ON 5/19/17 THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO NOT STAY IN THE RESTING POSITION. IT DOES NOT STAY IN THE POSITION TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD ANYMORE EITHER. IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. I CAME ACROSS THIS WEB FORUM WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE POSTED WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS HTTP://J.MP/2QU53VO HERE ARE LINKS TO THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTS OUTLINING THE PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, AND APPLICABLE VINS. HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/POL12-03.PDF HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/ZTT-DLRLTR.PDF I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME.

JULY 2016 I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY BANK ATM AT APPROX.2-5 MPH IN MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN THE CAR TOOK OFF. THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE CAR. I MISSED A CAR AND A VAN, WENT UP OVER THE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT A POLE. THAT STOPPED ME! I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. SOMEHOW NO ONE GOT HURT. I HAD 3 BLOWN TIRES AND THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW BROKEN OUT WITH DAMAGE TO THAT DOOR. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS PULLED FROM THE BODY. THE CAR HAS DAMAGE TO THE TIE ROD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FRONT END ALIGNMENT WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE DONE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS WITH NO RESPONSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2011 CAMRY'S FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS, AFTER A DEATH? THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

IN APRIL 2016 I NOTICED A POOL OF OIL ON MY CAMRY DASHBOARD . THE DASHBOARD FELT VERY STICKY AND NOW IS CRACKING . IN ADDITION, THE SHINY OIL REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD. THE REFLECTION IS DISTRACTING ESPECIALLY IN THE BRILLIANT SUNLIGHT AND AT NIGHT.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT HOLDING ITS POSITION AND HAS BECOME A HAZARDOUS SINCE IT BLOCKS NORMAL VISIBILITY WHEN DANGLING. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. UNDER NORMAL TO LIGHT USES THE INSIDE MECHANISM BROKE. 2007 MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR EARLY BREAKDOWN. BUT 2011 MODEL I BELIEVE HAS SAME PARTS BUT WAS NOT RECALLED OR FIXED. TOYOTA IS PROVIDING CHEAP QUALITY PARTS AND PUSHING THE BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER. THIS CONDITION IS SUBJECT TO HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY TOYOTA. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND MAKE TOYOTA TO RECALL THIS PARTS.

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON SECONDARY ROAD WHEN A DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AND HIT MY CAR; FIRST IMPACT HIT AT MY DRIVERS SIDE AT FRONT LEFT OF CAR THEN ALSO SHE HIT THE LEFT BACK SIDE OF MY CAR WHICH SWUNG AROUND AT IMPACT. DRIVER STATED SHE DIDN'T SEE MY CAR. SHE WAS TICKETED AT FAULT AND BOTH OF US WERE TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL. MY CAR'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL, NOT EVEN THE SIDE IMPACT BAGS! I HIT MY HEAD ON EITHER THE WINDOW OR THE UPPER DOOR AND SUSTAINED A HEMATOMA ON MY TOP LEFT SKULL AND POSSIBLE CONCUSSION AS WELL AS NECK AND BACK INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. A TOYOTA OFFICIAL TOLD ME LATER THAT FROM EVERYTHING HE KNOWS, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS INSTANCE,

I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT SPEED 60 MPH. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. ME AND MY PASSENGER WERE WEARING SEATBELTS. WE HAD A LOT OF CHEST PAIN AROUND THE INCIDENT. *TR

A POPPING, KNOCKING, SNAPPING NOISE IS LOUD, EVIDENT, PERSISTENT, AND DISCERNING. THE NOISE CAUSES CONCERN OVER THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IN AN IMPACT. THE FEELING IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH RIGIDITY TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT PASSENGERS IN A CRASH. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. TOYOTA UPDATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0088-12 ON 06/13/2012. IT IS TITLED MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE NOISE. APPLICABLE TO 2007 - 2011 CAMRY AND CAMRY HYBRIDS. IN THE INTRODUCTION TOYOTA STATES: SOME 2007 -2011 NORTH AMERICAN PRODUCED CAMRY AND CAMRY HV VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A KNOCKING, POPPING, TICKING, OR SNAPPING NOISE FORM THE MOON ROOF AREA WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBES THE DIS-ASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY OF THE MOON ROOF STRUCTURE AND HEADLINER. TORQUING NUTS AND BOLTS TO SPECIFICATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF REINFORCEMENT IS DESCRIBED. FROM THE TEXT PROCEDURE 2 #5. LOOSEN THE 8 MOON ROOF REINFORCEMENT TO MOON ROOF HOUSING BOLTS. #6. REMOVE THE 8 MOON ROOF REINFORCEMENT TO BODY STRUCTURE BOLTS. #7. REMOVE THE 8 NUTS AND THE MOON ROOF HOUSING SUB-ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE TO BE A DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT AFFECTING THE VEHICLES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. IN FACT, THE TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBES IT AS SUCH. SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0088-12 CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET. MY GOAL IS FOR THE NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL ON 2007 - 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY AND CAMRY HV VEHICLES. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO DO THIS AS WARRANTY WORK ON 2 OCCASIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN CLOSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

A RATTLE OR POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE MOONROOF ABOVE FRONT/REAR PASSENGER SEAT. A LOUD CREAKING SOUND ALL THE TIME HEARD SINCE WINTER IS PRESENT WHEN MAKING TURNS OR JUST HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. CALLED DEALER WAS TOLD THAT PLASTIC SHIMS/ OR DIFFERENT KITS WERE NEEDED AND THE LABOR WAS OUTRAGEOUS FOR CUSTOMER PAY. THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY IS RIDICULOUS THIS IS A STRUCTURAL ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL 2007 -UP TOYOTA CAMRY'S. TSB'S ARE ONLINE. IF YOU GOOGLE MOONROOF POPPING OR RATTLING ON 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S, YOU'LL FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS HAVING WITH THEIR MOONROOF. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER SPEND THOUSANDS TO FIX A STRUCTURAL ISSUE? I HEARD WORST CASE SCENARIO IS TOTAL REMOVAL OF MOONROOF WITH NO GUARANTEES TO FIX ON MY TAB. CAR IS BARELY OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. *JS

STRONG, LOUD, PERSISTENT KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF ROOF WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT.

IT BEGAN MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN AFTER A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK AFTER THE SERVICE. I HAVE SCHEDULED TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN, BUT HAVE HESITATED DUE TO THE CONDITION I RECEIVED MY CAR AFTER SERVICE LAST TIME. THE LINER AND BODY COVERS DO NOT GO BACK ON RIGHT AND THE CAR DID NOT LOOK NEW ANY LONGER WHEN I RECEIVED IT BACK. THE PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE CAUSED BY WELDING SLAG ON THE FRAME RUBBING TOGETHER, AND BAD WELDS ON THE CAR'S BODY. THIS IS NOT WHAT SOMEONE WANTS TO HEAR WHEN PURCHASING A NEW CAR. *TR
