In case you haven't heard, the NHTSA cleared Toyota of any problems regarding the floormat/acceleration issue. The only thing that was said was what I have been saying all along - use the hooks to secure the correct floormat, and only use one floormat (don't stack one on top of another). Same rule for ANY car.

Rear defroster problem by toyotas2

I live in the north east and I have noticed on my new 2010 Camry that the top 4 bars of the rear defroster don't work. It also seems like it take an awful long time to defrost the rear window. Anyone else have this same problem?

I'm traveling and don't have access to either my vehicle or the schematics, but I thought that some of the 'wires' were actually the radio antenna.
 
Might look in the owners manual, and see if that is the case.

If it is like my 2007 (and it probably is) the top bars are the antenna and not the rear window defroster.

NHTSA just announced that they did no such thing, the investigation is still open.

The top lines are part of the antenna.

I see that - in my defense, there was an article on many sources earlier this week that said that the NHTSA closed the case, saying that they could find NO evidence that the car was at fault, only the floor mats being not secured or someone putting a floor mat on top of another.
 
The bottom line is still this - just use the hooks and use only one floor mat (a correctly-fitting one, like a Toyota mat made for your 2007 through 2010 Camry or a WeatherTech) and you will not have any problems. With the millions of these cars out there, a VERY few high-profile cases has everyone panicking. Of course, in some cases, certain people are hoping that Toyota is at fault. Based on the numbers, the chances of you having a "run-away" car IF you have used the mats properly is less than your chances of hitting the Powerball lottery! I am still betting that there is no problem other than people using the wrong mats or not securing the mats, like the directions tell you to.
 
I have a 2007 AND a 2010 - I am NOT concerned at all.

Yep, that's the case in a lot of vehicles. No pressing need to see out the top part of the rear window typically...Most viewing I'd think is done out the middle.

I'm not concerned either...
 
But the only DBW car I own also has a clutch.
 
Remember that majic tricks often work by getting you to look "elsewhere".
 
Toyota could be doing exactly that.

Both my Camrys also have clutches - but even if they were automatics, I would NOT be concerned at all. I'm just not into conspiracy theories.
