2011 Toyota Camry

PURCHASED 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE NEW AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE TIRE MAINT. FOR 24K MILES AND IT WAS CUPPING TIRES OUT AT 15K THEY REPLACED THEM AND 15K LATER CUPPED AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT THEY DID ALIGNMENT SO WHAT THEN, TRIED TO FILE LAWSUIT AND WAS TURNED DOWN AFTER TOYOTA SENT SOMEONE DOWN TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT SINCE THEN EVERY 15-20K MILES NEW TIRES GO ON BECAUSE THEY ARE CUPPED TOYOTA SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG NOW THE CAR HAS 150K MILES AND I'M ON MY 7TH SET OF TIRES, HAVE USED ANYTHING FROM A 80K MILES YOKOHAMA DOWN TO THE CHEAPEST SET OF SUMITOMO TIRES AND IT DOESN'T MAKE VERY MUCH DIFFERENCE AS TO THE MILEAGE YOU GET FROM A SET, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER A DOZEN 4 WHEEL ALIGHNMENTS DONE AND THEY HAVE BEEN BALANCED HUNDREDS OF TIMES NOTHING HELPS. THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES AND THEY LASTED 15K. ON THIS SET OF TIRES THAT IS ON THE CAR NOW I LET THE TIRE DEALER TAKE OVER THE MAINT. AND THEY ROADFORCE BALANCE AND ROTATE EVERY 5K MILES AND IT HASN'T HELPED ANY, THE TIRES ARE CUPPED BAD AND THEY ARE AT 20K MILES NOW. I AM CHANGING ALL THE STRUTS AND ALIGNMENT AGAIN TO SEE IF THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM.

SUN VISOR WILL SPONTANEOUSLY FALL DOWN BLOCKING VISIBILITY. THE LOCKING MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE VISOR TO STAY IN ONE PLACE IS DEFECTIVE AND IT IS UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION. THIS ALSO CREATES A HAZARD GETTING INTO THE CAR, AS A TALLER INDIVIDUAL INEVITABLY WILL SLAM HIS HEAD ON THE VISOR AS IT IS ALWAYS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE NEAR THE ENGINE AREA. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD HEAD-ON COLLISION AND BOTH LEG AND STEERING WHEEL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS HEADED SOUTHBOUND ON THE STREET AND THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY BECAUSE A SCHOOL BUS CUT HIM OFF. I WAS WEARING A SEAT-BELT. THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WAS SO GREAT THAT IT KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS. THE AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED BY MY LEGS HAS LEFT ME WITH SOME OF THE WORST BRUISING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND SUBSTANTIAL PAIN. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES OF BOTH THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS AND MY SUBSEQUENT INJURIES. THE ER DOCTORS, ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR, NEUROLOGIST AND EMTS THOUGHT THAT THESE INJURIES WERE UNUSUAL AND NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE NORMAL RESULT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

MY DAUGHTER AND A FRIEND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN OUR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND NEITHER OF THE FRONT AIR BAGS CAME OUT. A GIRL SLAMMED ON BRAKES IN FRONT OF THEM (IN THE RAIN) AND SHE RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE GIRL AT A SPEED OF AT LEAST 45 TO 50 MPH AND AND AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT AND HER AND HER FRIEND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2015 MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY ALL THE WAY AND WAS ABOUT 15% OF THE WAY DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS IN MY LINE-OF-SIGHT IT REALLY DID NOT IMPEDE MY VISION OR ABILITY TO DRIVE. MID-2015 THE VISOR NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO HOLD ITSELF UP AND WAS FULLY DOWN AT ALL TIMES COMPLETELY IMPEDED MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AS I AM A TALLER DRIVER. I HAD TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING WARRANTY BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR VIN. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY TWO 2011 CAMRYS THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WMI CODE 4T4. I KNOW I PURCHASED ONE OF THE FIRST 2011 CAMRYS AS I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2010 (WELL AHEAD OF THE NORMAL RELEASE CYCLE) WHEN TOYOTA WENT THROUGH THEIR BIG (BRAKE PEDAL / FLOOR MAT) RECALL. I ONLY FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A CERTAIN POPULATION OF 2011 CAMRYS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THE 2011 CAMRY TO HAVE ISSUE AS MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED VIA DIFFERENT FORUMS AND HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEIR PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED.
