What owners wrote
I was driving on I-94 highway, tried to open my passenger side front window using my driver side door window switch. The switch did not work. About 30 seconds later my car filled with smoke and I saw the smoke coming out of the driver side door panel. I pulled over and after a couple minutes the smoke stopped. The window switch for the passenger side window does not work now.
I own a 2008 toyota camry hybrid. For the second time the drivers side visor has broken and flops down into my field of view. Both visors previously broke and were replaced under warranty but now the car is out of warranty. These visors are defective from the factory and it will cost $130 for the visor with extra costs for labor to install it. Driving my car is dangerous now with the visor hanging down in the way. Toyota needs to recall the defective visors and replace them before someone gets hurt.
