VISIBILITY
AFTER A SHORT WHILE OF NOTICING A STRANGE CLICKING SOUND WHEN PLACING THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR INTO AN UP, LOCKED POSITION, THE VISOR CEASED TO LOCK. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I COULD FEEL THE BROKEN PIECE AND IT CREATED A "BUMP" UNDERNEATH THE VISOR MATERIAL COVERING. EVENTUALLY, IT CREATED ENOUGH TENSION ON THE VISOR MATERIAL THAT THE MATERIAL PULLED AWAY FROM THE VANITY MIRROR EXPOSING SOME OF THE PLASTIC UNDERNEATH. THE VISOR WILL NOT SIT IN ITS UPRIGHT POSITION OR STAY FORWARD TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD, BUT RATHER HANGS DIRECTLY IN THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRS THE DRIVER'S VIEW. ANOTHER DRIVER ENTERING MY CAR REFUSED TO DRIVE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE VISIBILITY. CURRENTLY, I HAVE THE VISOR TAPED TO THE ROOF; HOWEVER, THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 4 YEAR OLD CAR (2007 CAMRY). NEVER HAVE I HAD ISSUE WITH A SUN VISOR, NOR AM I "ROUGH" ON MY CAR (I DRIVE A LOT, BUT MY CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION INSIDE AND OUTSIDE). I WAS AMONG THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THE OIL LINE LEAK, HAVING MY CAR BREAK DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 8-MONTH PREGNANT SISTER IN THE CAR. (THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE RECALL.) TOYOTA HAS BECOME A NEGLIGENT COMPANY AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE US GOVERNMENT AND NHTSA (AMONG OTHER GROUPS) TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS FROM FRAUD LIKE THIS. BASED ON THESE ORGANIZATIONS RATINGS AND EVALUATIONS, I BOUGHT MY 07 CAMRY THINKING I WAS GETTING A QUALITY, DEPENDABLE, SAFE CAR. INSTEAD, I HAVE HAD ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE SAME ORGANIZATIONS WHO CLAIMED TOYOTA'S SUPERIORITY; NOT EVEN TOYOTA WANTS TO BACK UP ITS WORK! I SINCERELY HOPE THE POWERS THAT BE MAKE THIS VISOR ISSUE A RECALL AND TOYOTA IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PRODUCTS IT SELLS. I WELCOME MY LOCAL DEALER AND/OR TOYOTA TO CONTACT ME AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RANDOMLY HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ALSO, OCCASIONALLY PAUSES WHILE IN TRAFFIC. HAS NOT YET STALLED. ACTS LIKE A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER BUT AFTER SEEING NEWS ARTICLE REALIZE ITS A "COMMON ISSUE". CURRENT MILEAGE IS 11,200 BUT HAS DONE THIS FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. ONLY ONE DRIVER SO CLEARLY HAS HAD TIME TO "ADJUST" TO THE DRIVER. FREQUENCY APPEARS TO BE INCREASING. HAVE ALMOST BEEN REARENDED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH DUE TO THE HESITATION. *TR
