What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving 5 MPH, the contact noticed smoke emitting from the front passenger side door. The contact exited the vehicle. The fire department was not called and there was no fire report. There were no injuries. The contact drove the vehicle away from the scene. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v491000 (visibility). The approximate failure mileage was 118,000.
2009 toyota camry driver side visor broken internally and hangs down in front of driver until pulled off, a possible visibility problem and hazard. Toyota issued a visor recall, but replacement visor (tried 2) will not stay fully up when tilted to the windshield, thereby making signal lights harder to see, which we believe could cause an accident as well. Hard to believe new visor will not go up fully (in both directions, but towards the ceiling does not block view, just does not snap up like original units).
