2008 Toyota Camry Wipers & Visibility Problems

Your dashboard has become soft, sticky, and shiny, especially in warm weather, creating a mirror-like glare that reflects sunlight directly into your eyes and severely impairs your ability to see the road, pedestrians, and traffic signals. The degraded material also emits a strong odor and may pose chemical exposure risks. Fixing this typically involves replacing the dashboard pad or applying a protective dashboard cover to reduce glare and restore visibility.

Your dashboard is melting and reflecting glare onto your windshield, creating unsafe driving conditions that worsen in rain and at night. You've discovered Toyota has an existing replacement program for this issue but weren't notified about it. Toyota is looking into arranging an inspection at a dealership to address the problem.

Your dashboard reflects light onto your front windshield, making it hard to see clearly while driving. Additionally, your dashboard material is sticky and peels easily when touched. Toyota has acknowledged this issue with a technical service bulletin, but says your car is outside the warranty timeframe and won't help. Other repair shops also won't repair it because of the known issue. Fixing this will likely require a complete dashboard replacement.

Your driver's side sun visor suddenly dropped into the full down position on its own, blocking your forward view while driving. This happened unexpectedly and could create a visibility hazard. The visor clip or hinge mechanism likely failed and will need to be replaced or repaired.

The issue is with the 2008 Toyota Camry dashboard that is melting shining reflective light straight into my eye. Toyota is not treating this as a recall matter, and only did a Customer program to get it repaired for a short time.

Subject: Toyota I purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry many years ago. I still have the vehicle and there is a safety issue having to do with dashboard. There was extended product warranty coverage that ended in 2019 on the defect. I was not notified about this issue. When I contacted Toyota they said I "may" have been notified if I brought it to a Toyota dealer for service (which I did not). The issue is the dashboard starts to melt and gets sticky and causes glare on the windshield during the day when sunlight hits it and at night when vehicle lights are oncoming. I moved to Florida in late 2019 and noticed the safety issue at that time. If you google the issue (Toyota dashboard recall) it made the news etc. Toyota was able to make it a product issue and was able to then use the extended warranty rather than calling it a safety issue. The articles on the issue (even from Toyota state it causes glare). Can this be looked into or at a minimum have the laws changed so these safety concerns can't be listed as a product issue? I would have thought this would have been a class action lawsuit with the number of issues because of this safety problem. My understanding is safety recalls do not expire and in my opinion (and many others on line that have the same issue) this is a safety issue. I had contacted the AGs Office in Florida and they suggested I make contact with your office. Below is some information on the melting dashboards. In 2014 Toyota offered to replace dashboards in 3.4 million vehicles after owners in sunny states like Arizona and Florida reported that their dashboards were melting, causing a dangerous glare on the windshield. ... Toyota's extended warranty on dashboards expired in 2019. Thank you for your time.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS OR OPEN HIGHWAYS ON SUNNY DAYS, DRIVER SOMETIMES BECOMES BLINDED FROM GLARE FROM "MELTING" SHINY DASHBOARD. THIS PROBLEM WITH "MELTING" DASHBOARD BEGAN MAYBE 5-6 YEARS AGO AND HAS KEPT GETTING WORSE. THE BLINDING REFLECTIONS ARE NOW SO BAD AT TIMES THAT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WE ARE SOMETIMES BLINDED BY REFLECTIONS FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE TOYOTA MELTING DASHBOARD IS HORRENDOUS. MY DASHBOARD IS SO GOOEY AND SHINY THAT ON ANY DAY WITH MILD SUN IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THE REFLECTION/SHINE. I AM VERY WORRIED THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE, IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR FAILED CAUSING IT TO HANG DOWN AND OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY. I HAVE TO MOVE THE VISOR TO THE SIDE WHICH OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW OR I HAVE TO HOLD IT UP WITH ONE HAND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUN VISOR FAILED TO SECURE IN PLACE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. THE INTERNAL CLIPS MECHANISM IS BROKEN CAUSING THE VISOR TO FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND BLOCKING MY VISION TO SEE THE ROAD AND OTHER DRIVERS. . THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE 3 YOUNG ADULTS IN MY HOME WHO REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF IT. TOYOTA CLAIMS TO HAVE SENT A RECALL FOR THE PART THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE ALTHOUGH I HAVE RECEIVED OTHER RECALL POSTCARDS FOR THIS CAR. THEY ARE STATING THE RECALL IS NO LONGER VALID BUT THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO THEM AND HAS CONTINUED IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS MODEL CARS AND YET THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I FEEL THIS QUALIFIES FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT.

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN CORRECT POSITION. THE VISOR DROPS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION STARTLING THE DRIVER AND TEMPORARILY IMPAIRING VISION.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I LOWERED MY VISOR TO LOOK IN MY MIRROR, ONCE I WAS DONE I TRIED TO RETURN MY VISOR TO ITS UP RIGHT POSITION AND IT WOULD NOT STAY. NOTHING LOOKS BROKEN BUT CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG IF IT WONT STAY UP AND NOW IT IS IN MY LINE OF VISION FOR DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS, IT BLOCKS MY LINE OF SIGHT, I CANNOT EVEN PUSH IT UP AGAINST THE WINDOW(YOU KNOW LIKE YOU DO WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUT) FOR IT DOESN'T STAY AND FALLS BACK DOWN BLOCKING MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD.

THIS VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM BECAUSE DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISORS WOULD STOP STAYING UP AND DROP DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAD OUR HIGHLANDER VISOR REPLACED UNDER THIS LATE 2012 PROGRAM. IT WAS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. NOW THE CAMRY WHICH IS OUR CREAM PUFF HAS THE PROBLEM AND TOYOTA SAID THE CSP HAS EXPIRED. THEY TREATED IT AS A COSMETIC ANNOYANCE BUT IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVERS 6' TALL OR MORE. THIS HAPPENS IN MANY SITUATIONS BUT IS MOST DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. NOTE THERE ARE 70 OTHERS GRIPING ABOUT THIS ON FACEBOOK. WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/TOYOTA/POSTS/10151608872184201

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR MALFUNCTIONED AND WAS UNABLE TO LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN VISOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

WHILE DRIVING, MY SUN VISOR WILL FALL DOWN WHEN I HIT A BUMP, AND SOMETIMES FOR NO REASON. IT CAN BE VERY STARTLING AND OF COURSE DANGEROUS.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AWAY. THE GLARE CURRENTLY IS SO SEVERE I HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON A SUNNY DAY. THE DASH LOOKS AS IF SOMEONE SPRAYED GLUE ALL OVER IT AND FEELS THAT WAY. I WAS AT THE DEALER IN JANURARY AS TOYOTA HAS A SAFETY CAMPAIGN CURRENTLY WHICH DOES NO GOOD IF THEY HAVE NO PARTS.

TOYOTA HAD A RECALL 'FIX' FOR THE VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE BRAKING AND FALLING DOWN BUT THEY ONLY FIXED THE LEFT DRIVERS AND NOT THE RIGHT PSGRS SIDE WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED BOTH AT THE TIME. NOW MY RIGHT SIDE IS BROKEN AND INHIBITING MY ABILITY TO VIEW ANY TRAFFIC ON THE RIGHT SIDE DUE TO IT'S HANGING DOWN AND WON'T GO UP AT ALL.

THE SUN VISOR ON 2007 TO 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY DROOP AND EVENTUALLY FALL OFF DUE TO USAGE. THE VISOR HAS NOW FALLEN OFF TWICE. TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM 7 YEARS BUT IT CONTINUES TO FAIL OVER AND OVER. BAD DESIGN, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SO STICKY TO THE TOUCH THAT IT CAN LONGER BE CLEANED. IT IS OMITTING SOME SORT OF AIR POLLUTANT THAT IS CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO BE HARD TO LOOK THROUGH. IT ALSO CAUSING A STRONG GLARE WHEN SUN IS OUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AT CERTAIN ANGLES TO THE SUN. CALLED TOYOTA OF ORLANDO (866-945-0493) AND SPOKE TO ASHLEY IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON OR ABOUT 11/03/2015 AND SHE CONFIRMED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE DASH THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. HAVE CALLED NO LESS THEN SIX TIMES TO FOLLOW UP ONLY TO BE TOLD THE PART HAS NOT ARRIVED YET. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS NOW SINCE THE REQUEST FOR SERVICE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND BLACK SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE DOOR. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM SAVANNAH HYUNDAI. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED AND WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUBSTANTIAL GLARE THAT COMES OFF THE MELTED, STICKY DASHBOARDS. WHICH HAS IMPEDE THE ABILITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THIS VEHICLES. THERE IS A REFLECTION OFF OF THE MELTED DASHBOARD THAT HAS FROM TIME TO TIME TEMPORARILY BLIND ME. ALTERNATELY, THIS MAY , VERY WELL COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THE CHEMICAL SMELL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARDS THAT SEEM TO BE MELTING AND PREMATURELY DEGRADING.

JUST PURCHASED A USED 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY ON 7/15/15. ON 9/1/15 WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH. WHEN WE PUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DOWN TO PROTECT AGAINST THE CRUCIAL SUNLIGHT THE VISOR SNAPPED! CURRENTLY WILL NOT STAY UP OR COMPLETELY DOWN. THIS IS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ITS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WITH THE VISOR SNAPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN ODOR OF SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW SWITCHES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE SWITCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SWITCH OVERHEATED AND MELTED. THE SWITCH WAS DISCONNECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,446.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE SUN VISOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY AND ENCOUNTERED THE CONTACTS HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN VISOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNVISOR FLOPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WON'T STAY IN PLACE - IT FALLS DOWN AND TOTALLY OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX THIS SO I NOW HAVE IT TIED UP WITH STRING SO I CAN SEE OUT THE WINDOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS TEMPORARY FIX WILL LAST! THIS IS MY FIRST TOYOTA - I'VE ALWAYS HAD FORDS FOR MANY YEARS (40+) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CAR! TOYOTA RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS - ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2007 THRU 2011 CAMRY MODELS. THEY SENT US A "ENHANCEMENT WARRANTY" IN 2012. EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE SUN VISOR BEGAN TO SLOWLY DROP ONLY ABOUT AN INCH. LIVING IN MICHIGAN WITH ALL THE ICE AND SNOW AND SINCE THE DEALER IS ABOUT 50 MINUTES AWAY IN GOOD WEATHER, I DECIDED TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR THIS WHEN MY OIL CHANGE WAS DUE, WHICH WAS IN MAY. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO LONGER COVERED BY THE ENHANCED WARRANTY - THAT IT EXPIRED IN JAN 2015. I CALLED THE 800 # AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION - WHICH BLOCKS THE FRONT WINDOW VIEW - IT IS A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD!! THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY DROPPED (WON'T STAY UP AT ALL), WHILE TONS OF OTHERS TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE SAME/SIMILAR PROBLEMS - THEY HAVE EITHER DROPPED OR DROP SUDDENLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, ETC. - IN OTHERS, THEY NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AND THEIR VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED! TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!! TOYOTA NEW MOTTO SHOULD BE "MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIVES" - OR IS THIS ALREADY THEIR MOTTO? PLEASE DON'T LET TOYOTA GET AWAY THIS SERIOUS DEFECT TOO!! SHAME ON TOYOTA AGAIN!!

RE: RECALL POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH THIS VEHICLE IS SHOWING RECALL ITEM NOT TAKEN CARE OF. LONG AGO I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY CONFERENCE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP KEEPS SAYING THEY ALREADY ADDRESSED THIS RECALL, BUT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE SHOP SAYS I CAME IN ON A SELF PAY BASIS AND THEY ALREADY DID MY SAFETY RECALL BUT THE RECORDS SHOW IT WAS NEVER DONE. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, THEY SHOULD JUST COMPLETE THE SERVICE, OR RE DO IT IF THAT'S THE CASE, (IF IT WAS ALREADY DONE) I HAVE NO IDEA IF ITS SAFE TO DRIVE. IF I TRIED TO SELL THE VEHICLE OR TRADE IT IN ECT...ITS SHOWING THIS SERVICE RECALL WAS NEVER TAKEN CARE OF... *TR

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK DUE TO DEFECT IN CONVERTIBLE TOPS RUBBING OFF WIRES, KNOWN DEFECT IN MOST ALL CONVERTIBLES IN THIS LINE. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I PULLED MY SUN VISOR DOWN AND IT FLOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL IT OFF AS IT WOULDN'T STAY IN POSITION, UP OR DOWN. I WROTE TO TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT THEY OFFERED ME A $750 DISCOUNT ON MY NEXT TOYOTA PURCHASE! UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND CONSIDER THE INCIDENT A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THERE ARE MANY SUCH INCIDENTS. IN FACT ONE SITE SHOWED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE VERY SAME THING. *TR

OPENED DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE, ATTEMPTED TO PULL SUNVISOR DOWN AND IT BROKE AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. TOOK TO DEALER AND PAID TO GET IT FIXED. NOW TWO YEARS LATER SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME SUN VISOR, BROKEN WILL NOT STAY UP, DANGLING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VISOR FELL OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VISION AS ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BACK AND LEG INJURIES. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES. BOTH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. ...UPDATED 12-03-14 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS SEPARATED FROM THE CONNECTING METAL PIECE. THE PLASTIC ROD THAT CONNECTED TO THE METAL IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN STABILITY WAS CRACKED. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FRACTURED ONCE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FRACTURED TWICE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AGAIN AFTER THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

ON THE FREEWAY, I PULLED MY SUN VISOR DOWN AND IT "FLOPPED" DOWN AND COULDN'T BE PUT IN EITHER THE UP OR DOWN POSITION. IN THE SITUATION I WAS IN, I HAD TO STEER WITH ONE HAND WHILE HOLDING THE VISOR UP OUT OF THE WAY SO I COULD SEE. I SENSED THIS WAS NOT A SAFE THING TO DO SO I JUST PULLED THE VISOR OFF COMPLETELY. I'D HAD A LITTLE DIFFICULTY WITH IT NOT STAYING IN POSITION BEFORE BUT THIS WAS MUCH WORSE. I ASKED TOYOTA TO FIX IT, BUT INSTEAD THEY OFFERED ME A $750 DISCOUNT ON MY NEXT PURCHASE!!! I TOLD THEM THAT ONE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. I ALSO ASKED THEM TO CHECK ON LINE WITH IPETITIONS THAT HAD 527 SIGNATURES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING AT APPROX. 40-44K MILES. MY BELTS/WATER PUMP BROKE/CRACKED AT APPROX 50K MILES. THE MECHANIC SAID THE WATER PUMP, IF IT EVER BROKE AT ALL, SHOULDN'T BREAK TILL MIN. 100K MILES. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE THE CAMRY TO A MECHANIC TO CHECK ENGINE RACING AND GRINDING FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A MONEY PIT WITH AWFUL VISIBILITY. I'VE SPENT MANY THOUSANDS ON THIS CAR BEFORE IT REACH 50K MILES. *TR

SUN VISOR FAILS TO RETRACT AND HANGS INTO DRIVERS FIELD OF VISION. IT APPEARS THE ENTIRE HOUSING HAS BUSTED OUT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS. *TR

THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING ON HOT DAYS RESULTING IN A SHINY, MIRROR LIKE SURFACE THAT REFLECTS SUNLIGHT AND GLARES THE WINDSHIELD REDUCING VISIBILITY. THE MELTED DASHBOARD SURFACE IS VERY STICKY AND COULD AFFECT THE AIRBAG FUNCTIONALITY AS THE AIRBAG COVER COULD FUSE WITH THE SURROUNDING MELTED DASHBOARD SURFACE. I ALSO WONDER IF THE DASHBOARD IS RELEASING ANY TOXIC SUBSTANCES AS IT MELTS. *JS

DASHBOARD IS MELTING, VERY STICKY AND MAKES A REFLEXION ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. SUN VISOR DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT STAY UP,SUDDENLY FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY CAUSING EXTREMELLY DIFICULT TIME FOR DRIVING. BOTH ISSUES PUT THE LIFE OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN DANGER. *JS

I HAVE 2008 CAMRY AND HAVE HAD A MELTING DASHBOARD FOR FEW YEARS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE MELTED SURFACE REFLECTS SUNLIGHT ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE GLARE. IN ADDITION THE MELTED DASHBOARD COULD FUSE WITH THE AIRBAG COVER AND CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION. I QUESTION WHAT KIND OF CHEMICALS MAY BE RELEASED IN THE AIR AS WELL. *JS

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN, COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VISION AND NO LONGER STAYS IN PLACE MAKING IT A PERMANENT SAFETY HAZARD TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR IN NO LONGER DRIVABLE. CHECKING THE INTERNET, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS DUE TO POOR WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY CAUSED BY MELTING DASHBOARD ON MY 2008, TOYOTA CAMRY. I FIRST NOTIFIED TOYOTA CORPORATE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD DETERIORATING IN SEPT OF 2012 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A WARRANTIED ITEM. THE FIRST NEAR ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY(STICKY RESIDUE ON WINDSHIELD) OCCURRED IN OCT, 201. I MENTIONED THE MELTING DASHBOARD PROBLEM AND VISIBILITY TO MY DEALER(ED MORSE TOYOTA, DEL RAY, FL) AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND THEY QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $1760.66 TO REPAIR, SOMETIME AROUND OCT 2012. THE RESIDUE HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY WORSE AND DUE TO MY AGE(81) IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CLEAN OFF THE WINDSHIELD USING STANDARD HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS. AFTER WATCHING A NEWS REPORT ON WFLX, WEST PALM BEACH BY [XXX] I CALLED AGAIN(MAY 2, 2014) AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. TO DATE I HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA...I AM ANXIOUS ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR DUE TO THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP AND IT STARTED TO HANG DOWN. NOW THE VISOR IS TOTALLY LOOSE AND OBSTRUCTING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL - BUT THE INTERNET AND NHTSA HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

I HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS FOR MY CAMRY HYBRID IN THE PAST YEARS WHICH ARE RELATED TO SAFETY 1) ON 11/28/10, WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY SITUATION ON LOCAL STREET AT LOW SPEED, THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING CAUSING BAD VISIBILITY. I PULL OVER TO STREET SIDE AND RAIN STOPPED AFTER A WHILE. I DROVE THE CAR TO A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALER. DIAGNOSIS IS "WIPER ARM SLIPPED SPLINES" 2) ON 4/16/10, WHILE DRIVING ON STREET AT LOW SPEED (30 MPH) HEAVY SMOKE CAME OUT OF DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH. AFTER I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THE SMOKE STOPPED. CAR WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALER AND DIAGNOSTIC WAS SWITCH LOCKED ON "ON" POSITION. I BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE TOYOTA "RECALL" CASE. 3) ABOUT 11/2013, WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE LIGHT WENT ON. I DROVE BACK TO TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF COLD WEATHER. NO FIX WAS PERFORMED. HOWEVER,THE LIGHT WENT ON / OFF SINCE THEN AND AFTER A MONTH STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN AND THEY FOUND A FAULTY SENSOR FOR TIRE AIR PRESSURE. LUCKILY ALL INCIDENTS DID NOT INVOLVE CRASH / INJURY. HOWEVER, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED / CONCERNED ON MY CAR'S SAFETY / RELIABILITY. IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION, I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTDOORS IN THE RAIN. THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WINDOWS WERE DRIPPING WITH MOISTURE. WHEN I DECIDED TO GO TO FOR A DRIVE, I REACHED BEHIND MY SEAT TO THE REAR FLOOR FOR MY PAPER TOWEL ROLL AND CLOTH TOWELS TO WIPE OFF THE WINDOWS AND THEY WERE SOAKED WITH WATER. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FOUR SUNROOF DRAINS HAD NO HOSE CLAMPS ON THEM THE RIGHT REAR HOSE HAD COME LOOSE CAUSING A FLOOD IN MY REAR SEAT AREA. I HAD TO HAVE ALL CARPETS REPLACED AND HOSE CLAMPS ADDED TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. IT COST $2467.57 TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE BECAUSE TOYOTA DID NOT REQUIRE HOSE CLAMPS ON THE 4 DRAIN HOSES FROM THE SUNROOF. I ASKED TOYOTA IF THEY WERE GOING TO NOTIFY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND THEY INDICATED AN ANSWER OF, NO! I THINK THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO LET OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HAVE ALL OF THE COMMUNICATIONS WITH TOYOTA IF YOU WANT COPIES. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS INSURANCE RATES ARE SO HIGH. MY INSURANCE PAID FOR ALL EXCEPT $60.52 OF THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS. I HAVE AAA INSURANCE. PLEASE RESPOND!!! *TR

THE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE AND THERE IS NO RECALL. TOYOTA WANTS TO CHARGE ME $200 TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID AND FOUND THAT THE SUN VISOR WAS ROTATED DOWNWARD AND WOULD NOT GO BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN IRVINE, CA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY AND SUN VISOR BRACKET HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODELS AND THAT MY MODEL WAS ON THE LIST. HOWEVER, WHEN I CAME TO PICK UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE CAR VIN SHOWS THAT THE CAR WAS MADE IN JAPAN AND THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO CARS FROM THE UNITED STATES. THE SUN VISOR NOT ROTATING BACK TO ITS RIGHT POSITION IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I CANNOT FULLY SEE AHEAD WHILE DRIVING AND DO NOT HAVE A CLEAR VIEW. IF THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC PART FOR THESE SPECIFIC CARS AND THE PRODUCT IS MADE BY TOYOTA IT SHOULD BE COVERED NO MATTER WHERE THE CAR WAS MADE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, NOT IN JAPAN. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. VERY DANGEROUS. MY HUSBAND IS TALLER AND IT AFFECTS HIS RANGE OV VISION AND PLUS IT IS ANNOYING. LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE VISORS. I AM TAKING IT TO A DEALER TO SEE IF ITS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY, IF NOT, I WILL CONTACT TOYOTA DIRECTLY TO CORRECT THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW SUDDENLY SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000. UPDATED 12/24/13*CN

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAMRY HAS COME LOOSE AND IT DROPS INTO MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANYTHING IS DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. A YEAR AGO, THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DROOP ALITTLE AND MY HUSBAND TRIED TO FIX IT BUT IT BROKE AND WAS HANGING. WE END UP PURCHASING A NEW VISOR FOR ABOUT $100 AND I DON'T WANT TO USE IT BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF HAVING TO PAY ANOTHER $100 TO FIX IT. JUST RECENTLY, THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND NOW IT IS HANGING. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR ME BECAUSE I'M ON THE HIGHWAY ALL THE TIME AND THE VISOR BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT BLOCKS MY VIEW FROM SEEING OTHER VEHICLE MERGING IN OR SWITCHING LANE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON FIXING THIS ISSUE AS IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR

AFTER 95,000 MILES OF USAGE THE SUN VISOR HAS DECIDED TO COME APART AND I'M NO LONGER ABLE TO USE IT TO BLOCK THE SUN OR STORE IT IN A SAFE MANNER. EVERY PASSING DAY IT SEEMS THE VISOR GETS LOWER AND LOWER UNTIL I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE ROAD CORRECTLY. I ALMOST HAVE TO DRIVE HOLDING THE SUN VISOR UP. IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE BUT I DON'T YET HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE IT. AND EVEN IF I DID REPLACE IT, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING. *JB

ON OR AROUND THIS DATE MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR BEGAN TO DROOP. IT WOULD SLOWLY DROP & OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS COMPLETELY DROPPED, YOU COULDN'T PUT IT BACK INTO ITS UPRIGHT POSITION, OR ANY POSITION & IT OBSCURED MY VISIBILITY. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER & THEY REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THE GUY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE VISORS WERE BREAKING AND THAT IT WAS KNOWN. THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE MY PASSENGER ONE (EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW IT WOULD BREAK) BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BROKEN. I TRIED TO TELL HIM THAT BEING THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE WITH IT JUST HANGING THERE. WELL, LOW AND BEHOLD, AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT MY PASSENGER ONE BROKE. I JUST TOOK IT DOWN, MY HUSBAND TRIED TO FIX IT BUT COULDN'T. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE ONE THAT I INITIALLY REPLACED IS BREAKING AGAIN!!! SAME PROBLEM. I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT DISH OUT ALMOST $200 FREAKING DOLLARS EVERY TIME ONE OF THESE BREAKS!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED!! ESPECIALLY FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE BECAUSE THAT IS DANGEROUS!!! YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THAT IS JUST HANGING IN THE WAY. IF YOU TAKE IT DOWN THEN THE SUN IS IN YOUR EYES, AND THAT IS DANGEROUS. WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE CANNOT SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM MAKES VISIBILITY VERY BAD OR YOU HAVE NONE AT ALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS?? *JB

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR JUST FLOPPED DOWN AND BLOCKED MY VIEW... *TR

MY SUN VISORS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE MESSED UP AND NOW HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED. MY CD PLAYER ALSO STARTED MESSING UP EARLIER THIS YEAR. IT SAYS THERE'S A CD IN, BUT THERE'S NOT. YOU CAN'T LOAD A CD OR EJECT IT. THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING JAMMED IN THERE AND THAT I WOULD BE BETTER OFF REPLACING IT WITH AN AFTERMARKET STEREO SYSTEM B/C IT WOULD BE CHEAPER AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEND MY CAR OFF TO HAVE IT FIXED. HOPEFULLY, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED! *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP, SWINGS DOWN. *TR

PASSENGER SUN VISOR FELL FROM IT'S FOLDED POSITION FROM CEILING. 2 OR 3 DAYS LATER THE VISOR COMPLETELY FALLS OFF THE SUPPORT ARM ALTOGETHER. NOT EVEN IN USE DURING EITHER INCIDENT. NO PASSENGER EVEN IN THE SEAT USING THE VISOR. 1-2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURS WITH THE DRIVER'S VISOR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL 2007-2008 CAMRY'S. TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE SUN VISORS FOR ALL CAMRY'S BUILT IN THE U.S.A., BUT HAS ELECTED NOT TO OFFER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO IT'S OWNERS OF THE JAPANESE BUILT MODELS (SUCH AS MINE). THE VISORS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH TOYOTA FOR REPLACEMENT AND THEY ASK $230 PER VISOR PLUS LABOR FOR INSTALL (OVER $500 WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE). UPON CALLING TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ASK WHY THEY AREN'T OFFERING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR JAPANESE BUILT MODELS THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THEIR AMERICAN-BUILT COUNTERPARTS THEY HAD NO ANSWERS FOR ME. THEY DID OFFER TO EXTEND ME A ONE-TIME CREDIT FOR $250 IN REPAIRS TO OFFSET THE COST OF THEIR INFERIOR PRODUCT AND KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T EVEN COVER 50% OF THE COST OF PARTS AND LABOR TO HAVE BOTH OF THE VISORS REPAIRED. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP, SWINGS DOWN. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR/SHADE IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VISOR WON'T STAY UP, IT FLOPS DOWN AND IS DIFFICULT TO SEE TO DRIVE. I CAN SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT 2007/2008 TOYOTA CAMRY MODELS. IT IS A DRIVING HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO REPLACE IT. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND IT WOULD NOT LIFT BACK UP. IT ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS STARTED DROOPING. THE INTERNAL TENSION MECHANISM OF THE SUN VISOR NO LONGER HOLDS IT IN POSITION AND NOW IT HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. WHEN LOOKING AT IT CLOSER, THE VISOR PULLED COMPLETELY OFF THE METAL ROD THAT ATTACHES TO THE ROOF. *TR

SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS COME OUT OF ITS HOUSING AND DANGLES DANGEROUSLY IN THE DRIVERS LINE OF VISION. VISOR WILL NOT GO BACK UP NOR WILL IT COME OFF THE ASSEMBLY WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VISOR. *TR

THE PASSENGER VISOR NO LONGER STAYS IN THE PROPER POSITION, IT FLOPS. THIS HAPPENED WITH MY DRIVERS SIDE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. MUST BE MADE BAD IS ALL I CAN FIGURE. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE NO LONGER STAYS IN THE "UP" POSITION RESTING AGAINST THE ROOF. THE VISOR HANGS AT DANGEROUS EYE LEVEL BECAUSE THE SPRING MECHANISM TO HOLD THE VISOR IN THE RESTING POSITION AGAINST THE ROOF IS DEFECTIVE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE VISOR SUDDENLY FALLS AND BLOCKS THE SIGHT OF THE DRIVER. *TR

PRIOR TO JULY 17, 2010, THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR, HAD LOOSEN UP/BROKE AND WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS WAS A HAZARD AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE VISOR BEGAN MAKING NOISE SIMILAR TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEN IT FIRST STARTED, THEN THE NOISE WAS LOUDER. WE RECEIVED A "WARRANTY ENHANCE NOTICE" WHERE TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC. WAS INFORMING US ABOUT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY OF THE VISORS FOR A PERIOD OF 7 YEARS. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSED THE OWNERS THAT HAD THEM REPLACED AND WE NEEDED TO SUBMIT A COPY OF THE REPAIR ORDER, PROOF OF PAYMENT, AND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP. WE SUBMITTED THE REPAIR ORDER FROM THE TOYOTA DEALER THAT REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WHICH IS ALSO PROOF THAT THE DEALER WAS PAID FOR, AND A COPY OF THE REGISTRATION; NO DEALER LET'S YOU LEAVE WITHOUT PAYING OR MAKE INVOICES AS A FAVOR FOR CONSUMERS; PLUS THE FACT THAT THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MANUFACTURER. WELL, TO OUR SURPRISE THEY WANTED A RECEIPT ON HOW THIS BILL WAS PAID. THIS IS A TACTIC OF THE MANUFACTURER OR THE CONSUMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO AVOID OR DELAY THE REIMBURSEMENT PROCESS AND TO DISCOURAGE CONSUMERS FROM PURSUING THEIR CLAIMS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE OTHER VISOR AT NO CHARGE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR IS BEGINING TO MAKE THE SAME NOISE AS THE PREVIOUS ONE, NOT EVEN TWO YEARS FROM THE TIME IT WAS REPLACED. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES, ESPECIALLY FOR TALLER DRIVERS. THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS STARTING TO DROOP TOO SO I KNOW IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE IT GOES TOO. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THIS AND IT WILL COST $150 PER SIDE PLUS TAX. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WEATHER STRIPPING THAT WAS AROUND THE WINDSHIELD MALFUNCTIONED, ALLOWING EXCESSIVE AIR AND WATER TO LEAK INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE SUN VISOR DETACHED AND HUNG FROM THE HOUSING MECHANISM, CAUSING THE CONTACT'S VISION TO BECOME OBSCURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE VISOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE. IT NOW DANGLES AND BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS DROPPING DOWN. SAFETY HAZARD SINCE IT OBSTRUCTS VIEW OF THE ROAD. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP BECAUSE I THINK THE CLIPS BROKE, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY CARS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING (AT VARIOUS SPEEDS) THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FALLS DOWN BLOCKING VISION VIA THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. AS A SAFETY MEASURE AND TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT I HAVE TAPED BY SUNVISOR IN THE UP POSITION TO ENSURE IN DOES NOT FALL DOWN. I CALLED TOYOTA AND INQUIRED AS TO WHETHER THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL AND THE SAID NO. MY ONLY COURSE OF ACTION IS TO PAY TO HAVE SUNVISOR CHANGED OUT. *TR

SUN VISOR ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND WILL NOT STAY UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISORS FAILED AND WOULD NOT REMAIN SECURE IN THEIR HOUSING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FRO THE FAILURE NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUPPORT FAILED WHILE DRIVING. WENT TO TILT IT DOWN AND BROKE LOOSE TO A POINT WHERE IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN AND SWINGS FREELY AND COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VISION. HAD TO HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND UNTIL I WAS SAFELY OFF THE ROADWAY. THERE IS NO WAY IT WILL SUPPORT ITSELF, SO I HAD TO TAPE OR WIRE IT UP WHICH MAKES IT USELESS BLOCKING SUN (IT'S PURPOSE.) *TR

MY CAR IS 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYLINDER. WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR, THE SUNVISOR NOT SO GOOD CONDITION, LOOSE AND DIFFICULT FIX IT. FINALLY IT WAS BROKEN WHEN I RETURN IT NORMAL PLACE. IT'S COULD NOT FIT ANYMORE. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AT THAT TIME BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE DUE TO SUNVISOR DROP. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY'S SUN VISOR HAS BROKEN UNDER NORMAL USE. THE VISOR JUST FLOPS DOWN, IMPAIRING VISION WHILE DRIVING; THE VISOR HAD TO BE TAKEN DOWN, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT AUGUST 23, 2012. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA FOR FREE, NOT $200+ DOLLARS. I WILL NOT PAY THE DEALER FEE, SO THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. *TR

MY VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION OR DOWN AGAINST TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE SUN. IT SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE HOW MUCH IT COST TO REPLACE THE PART. I WAS ADVISED $148.00 FOR THE PART. HOWEVER THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ALSO HAD THIS VISOR REPLACED PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG DEAL WITH ALOT OF THE TOYOTA VISORS, BUT YET THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED AND NOT AT MY EXPENSE AS THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IF YOU PUT THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION AGAINST THE TOP OF THE CAR, IT WILL CONTINUE TO FALL DOWN IN FRONT OF MY VIEW. IF YOU PUSH IT FORWARD TOWARDS THE WINDOW IT AGAIN WILL COME BACK TOWARDS ME. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, IT IS RIGHT AT MY HEAD LEVEL AND COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY. *TR

GOING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN AND BLOCKED MY VISION. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SUN VISOR MALFUNCTION WAS COMMON AND IT WOULD COST $200 TO FIX IT. THIS CAR IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. I WAS FORTUNATE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP , BUT OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. *TR

LAST YEAR MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WENT DOWN WITH NO APPARENT REASON. I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT MUCH, I THOUGHT IT WAS A PASSENGER PULLED IT DOWN TOO HARD, AND I REPLACED IT WITH A USED VISOR FROM EBAY. LAST WEEK, MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE AND WENT DOWN, SO NOW I HAVE NO VISOR WHICH CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING FLAW FROM TOYOTA, BUT I SEE NO RECALL. I WENT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. THEY ALMOST FIXED THE ISSUE WITH NO COST, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T ORDER A NEW ONE UNTIL TOYOTA ISSUES THE RECALL. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS BEFORE THEY SEND ME A LETTER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY, VISOR REPEATEDLY FLOPPED DOWN, CAUSING MOMENTS WHERE THE SUN BLINDED MY VISIBILITY. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN. WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. *TR

VISOR WON'T STAY UP IN THE DRIVER SEAT IT'S A DRIVING HAZARD. *TR

SUN VISOR BROKE WITH ONLY 35500 MILES ON THE CAR. DRIVING EAST TO WORK AND WEST HOME IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS WITHOUT THIS VISOR, WHICH WAS USED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS (FLIPPED DOWN IN THE MORNING, UP WHEN PARKED AND FLIPPED DOWN AGAIN IN THE EVENING). IT'S DANGEROUS ENOUGH DRIVING THROUGH 2 CONSTRUCTION ZONES IN THE MORNING, BUT NOW I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO SHIELD MY EYES DUE TO THE GRADES I DRIVE AND LOCATION OF SUN IN THE SKY. THIS IMPEDES MY DRIVING. I FOUND THE BROKEN VISOR HANGING USELESS AFTER WORK ON DAY AND COULDN'T TAPE OR RIG IT UP SO HAD TO PULL IT OFF IN ORDER TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD! WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS BROKE DURING RUSH HOUR IN CONSTRUCTION? PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE QUALITY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE FIXED OR RECALLED DUE TO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. PLUS IT'S A $32,000 CAR AND QUALITY SHOULD BE BETTER THAN THAT OF A $12,000 CAR. *TR

BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SUN VISOR FAILED. THE LEFT SUN VISOR FELL IN SUCH A POSITION AS TO BLOCK THE DRIVER'S VISION. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK HOLDING THE SUNVISOR UP AND HAVE NOW TAPED IT IN THE UP POSITION TO PREVENT IT FROM FALLING DOWN AGAIN. I ALSO HAD TO TAPE THE RIGHT SUN VISOR IN THE UP POSITION SO AS NOT TO BLOCK MY FIELD OF VIEW. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS DROPPED AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS IS OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS HIT ME IN THE HEAD. I OPENED IT AND SAW THAT MANY PIECES ON THE INSIDE HAD MELTED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FALL FROM ITS HOUSING, BLOCKING THE CONTACTS VISION OF THE ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND TOLD THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY YET THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,500. UPDATED 7/23/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE 1ST REPLACEMENT. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 07/30/12

DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE. THE VISOR'S SUSPENSION NO LONGER HOLDS VISOR UP AND ITS AFFECTING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED BUT THEY REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND WANT TO CHARGE $120 TO FIX IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THROUGH OUT THE INTERNET OF UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. IT'S UNFAIR THAT OWNERS ARE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR A PART THAT SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE RECALLED. TOYOTA WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. MODELS 07, 08 AND 09 SEEM TO BE THE ONES AFFECTED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDER AS SUCH. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND BLOCKED MY VISION OF THE ROAD. IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND I HAD TO TIE IT UP TO PREVENT IT FROM BLOCKING MY VISION. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

BOTH SUN VISORS GAVE WAY IN MY FAIRLY NEW CAMRY ONLY AFTER 3-4 YEARS OF USE. I KEEP MY TOYOTAS 6 YEARS USUALLY AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. VISOR HAS ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BREAK EVER SINCE I OWNED IT. CHEAP PART. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE FOLDED DOWN POSITION. IT WAS HANGING FREELY BLOCKING A CLEAR VIEW WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION WITH THE HELP OF MY WIFE HOLDING THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION. I DISCOVERED THAT MY ONLY OPTIONS FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM WERE TO SPEND A GOOD SUM OF MONEY TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE IT OR TO JUST TAKE IT OFF. I OPTED TO REMOVE THE VISOR. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. IN DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM ALL MODELS OF TOYOTA THAT ADDRESS THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

SUNVISOR FAILED. FLOPPED DOWN OFF OF ITS MOUNT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING QUITE A SURPRISE. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR AND VEHICLE CONTROL WAS MAINTAINED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SUN VISOR WOULD NOT HOLD IN THE UPWARD POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

FIRST THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE AND IT WOULDN'T STAY UP, WHICH CAUSED A LARGE BLIND SPOT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND IT BECAME DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. I TOOK IT INTO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, BOUGHT A NEW VISOR AND FIXED IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR BROKE AND IT IS CAUSING A LARGE BLIND SPOT WHEN I AM LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC ON MY LEFT SIDE. *TR

I FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN CAUSED BY NOTHING. THE VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. INSTEAD IT IS DANGLING, FLOPPING AROUND TO AFFECT VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. IT LOOKS LIKE THE VISOR PART IS OPEN SO THE HINGE CAN NOT WORK AS DESIGNED. I AM NOT SURE IT IS RELATED TO TEXAS HOT SUMMER BUT CERTAINLY THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM REPORTING THIS TO HERE SINCE I BELIEVE IT AFFECTS SAFETY ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH SUN VISORS FELL DOWNWARD AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE COMPLAINTS ON THAT FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND WAS HANGING DOWNWARD. DUE TO THE BROKEN SIDE SUN VISOR, THE DRIVER'S VIEW WAS OBSTRUCTED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,100.

UNDER NORMAL USE, BOTH SUN VISORS AT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WON'T STAY UP. BOTH VISOR STAYED AT FULLY DOWN POSITION, BLOCKED VISION AND IMPACTED DRIVING VISIBILITY. (DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES). THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OF TOYOTA CAMRY 2008 VISORS. *TR

THE SUN VISOR AT THE DRIVER SIDE SUDDENLY FELL OFF AND BLOCKED THE VISION. IT DIDN'T STICK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. FINALLY I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF AS IT WAS BLOCKING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. *TT

MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I PRUCHES FOUR MONTHS AGO WITH ONLY 31000 MILES, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLIPPES DOWN WHILE DRIVING BLOCKING MY VIEW. SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE AT FIRST THEY DIDNT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, SAYING IT WASNT COVER UNDER MY WARRENTY, BUT WITH SOME HELP FROM ONE OF THE MANGER CALLING THE WARRENTY COMPANY THEY WANT AHEAD AND REPLACE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER. *TT

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED WHEN MOVED TO THE DOWN POSITION AND FLOPPED AROUND. HAD TO REPLACE AT A COST OF $150. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT FULLY OPEN. PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED AND NEITHER SIDE WAS MISHANDLED. BOTH BROKE DURING NORMAL USAGE AND OPENING. *JS

THE SUN VISOR FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER BECAME LOOSE AT NO FAULT TO THE CONSUMERS AND IT WON'T STAY UP. WHEN MY CAR WAS IN WARRANTY THE DEALER "FIX" THE PROBLEM BUT IT BROKE AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT BLOCKS MY VIEW BECAUSE THE SUN VISOR KEEPS PROPPING BACK DOWN. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER TO FIX IT AGAIN, THEY WANTED 120 DOLLARS TO FIX EACH SUN VISOR! READING OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS ALL THE MODEL OF CAMRY FROM 2007- 2011 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS...YET NO FIX FROM TOYOTA. TOYOTA QUALITY= DECLINING. IT SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF DEFECTS AND REFUSAL TO COMMIT TO QUALITY CONTROL TO SUN VISOR. REMINDS ME AND OTHERS OF THE "UNINTENTIONAL" ACCELERATION THAT TOYOTA REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LED TO DEATHS AND INJURY UNTIL THE C.E.O OF TOYOTA GOT QUESTIONED BY CONGRESS. ONLY THEN, TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. IN THAT CASE THE ACCELERATION WOULD BECOME "STUCK" CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATES. LAST CAR I WOULD BUY FROM TOYOTA UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FREE OF CHARGES TO ALL CUSTOMERS. HONDA, HYUNDAI, FORD, GM ANYONE? *JS

THE SUN VISOR HAD BEEN FLOPPING DOWN A BIT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF FEW WEEKS, THEN IT JUST QUIT GRIPPING THE SHAFT THAT KEEPS IT IN THE "NON-USE' POSITION -I.E. VISOR HORIZONTAL PARALLEL TO ROOF - SO THAT IT WAS HANGING DOWN PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROOF PLANE, BLOCKING VISION OUT THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS NOT STAYED UP SINCE. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS PROVEN TO ME THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL YEAR (AND 2007 MODEL YEAR) CAMRYS AND THEY DO REPRESENT A DRIVING HAZARD, PARTICULARLY IF AND WHEN THEY FLOP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN HEAVY, URBAN TRAFFIC AND THE LIKE. *JS

BOTH OF MY SUN VISORS HAVE BROKEN ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 9 MONTHS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $200 TO REPAIR. CAR ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD REPAIR FOR FREE. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DEVICE. *TR

SUN VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. OBSTRUCTS FIELD OF VISION. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME A VISOR HAS BROKE ON THIS VEHICLE AND SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. NO UNDUE STRESS WAS PUT ON THE VISOR. DISCUSSED WITH THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT TOYOTA AND THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 75 MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME PARTIALLY DETACHED AND BEGAN TO HANG DOWN, BLOCKING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE IT. IT WAS ABOUT $160 TO GET THE PART AND INSTALLED. I BOUGHT IT ON EBAY FOR UNDER $100 AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. IT WASN'T DIFFICULT AND TOOK UNDER 5 MINUTES TO DO. NOW, THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE IN THE SAME SPOT THE OTHER VISOR DID. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I HAD MY LAST CAR FOR 10 YEARS AND THE VISORS NEVER BROKE AND MY HUSBAND HAS A TOYOTA FROM 2007 AND IT HASN'T BROKEN. THIS IS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. *TR

THE ORIGINAL SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE AND WOULD FALL DOWN AND BLOCK HER VISIBILITY. UPDATED 06/21/12

WHILE ADJUSTING THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR THE VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP IN EITHER POSITION. IT JUST DANGLED DOWN AND SEVERELY RESTRICTED THE DRIVER'S VISION. THERE WAS NO WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE VISOR TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP, AND REPAIR NECESSITATED REPLACING THE ENTIRE VISOR AT A COST OF $140. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS AND THE REPAIR COST COULD DETER PEOPLE FROM REPLACING THE VISOR, RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS VISIBILITY IS VERY POOR WITH THE VISOR DANGLING DOWN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DECIDE TO QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY COVER MY VISIBILITY. I HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE ON THE ROAD AND TRY SEVERAL TIME TO PUT IT BACK. FINALLY I FRUSTRATED REMOVE AND PUT IT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. TOYOTA SHOULD DO BETTER JOB ON THAT BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO BE INVOLVE INTO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE SUN VISOR HAS BROKEN FROM IT'S MOUNT UNDER LIGHT USAGE. *TR

THE CLIP IN MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, CREATING A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THE VISOR WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP BECAUSE A DEFECTIVE CLIP BY THE HINGE FAILED. TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VISOR AT NO COST, EVEN FOR VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THOSE MODELS. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNVISOR 6 MONTHS AGO, NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR. THEY DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY BACK UP.

THERE IS A GROWING TREND ON THE INTERNET OF 2008/2009 CAMRYS WITH FAULTY SUN VISORS. THEY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING, AND BLOCK THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE. THIS HAPPENS ON BOTH FREQUENTLY USED, AND INFREQUENTLY USED VISORS. OUR PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FAILED FIRST, JUST OUTSIDE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS VISOR WAS HARDLY EVER USED AS MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR, AND RARELY HAS FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS. EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSED TO COVER IT (IT'S CONSIDERED TRIM). 6 MONTHS LATER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE FAILED. NOW, MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAS FAILED AGAIN (MARCH 2012). BOTH ORIGINAL REPLACEMENTS WERE NEW, FROM THE DEALER. THE PARTS GUY AT ONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THEY SEE QUITE A FEW CAMRYS WITH BROKEN OR MISSING VISORS. SEE THIS LINK FOR OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS ONLY ONE EXAMPLE OF MANY WEBSITES WERE PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FAILURES.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO STAY UP, IMPAIRING THE DRIVERS VISION AT ABOUT 38,000 MILES, AND WAS REPLACED FOR $120. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOW FAILING TO STAY UP AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES, IMPAIRING VISION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT AMONG 2007-2008 CAMRY'S. *TR

CAMRY 2008 HYBRID: VISOR SLOWLY DROPPED DOWN UNTIL FINALLY IT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT OBSCURES VISIBILITY AND I HAD TO TAKE IT DOWN TO DRIVE. NOW THE SUN OBSCURES VISIBILITY ! WHEN IS TOYOTA GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS HAZARD ? I CAN SEE BY THE OTHER ENTRIES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $260 JUST FOR THE PART, THEN LABOR ON TOP OF THAT. RIDICULOUS. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE FLOOR WAS WET. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE AIR CONDITIONER TUBES THAT WERE BLOCKED. THE FLOOR WAS WET AGAIN AFTER THE REPAIR. THEY SAID IT THE CAUSE THAT TIME WAS THE SUN ROOF TUBES BEING BLOCKED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE WARRANTY. SO I DID. HAD TO. NOW THERE IS MOLD UNDER MY CARPETING. THE DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS $1000 TO REPLACE THE CARPET. THERE WERE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR COMMUNICATION AND THEY WERE NOT TRUTHFUL. I DIDN'T GET A CUSTOMER SURVEY. HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST TOYOTA. GOING BACK TO FORD. *TR

THE PASSENGER CAN'T EVEN LOOK FORWARD AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY DUE TO THE SUN RIGHT IN THEIR EYES. RECENTLY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR HAS NOW DONE THE SAME THING. IT IS HANGING DOWN IN THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. WE HAVE TO DRIVE HOLDING IT UP WITH OUR HANDS JUST SO WE CAN SEE OUT OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW TO DRIVE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM TO OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS AND WAS ASTONISHED AT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE WERE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I SAW HOW MANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS FOR SO MANY. *TT

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR WAS SLIPPING AND WOULD NOT STAY UP IN LOCKED POSITION. I COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW BECAUSE THE VISOR WOULD HANG DOWN INTO MY VIEW. I HAD TO RIGG SOMETHING SO IT WOULD HOLD IT UP. (IE DUCK TAPE). AFTER UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO GET THE VISOR TO STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, IT BROKE COMPLETELY. *TR

IN AUGUST 2011, I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR. IT DOESN'T STAY UP IN THE FOLDED POSITION. AT TIMES IT WOULD ALL OF THE SUDDEN FALL OPEN WITHOUT TOUCHING IT. THE RANGE OF MOTION OF THE VISOR BECAME VERY LIMITED. EVEN IN THE DOWN POSITION IT WOULD NOT STAY BACK. THIS BECAME AN ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. NOT BEING ABLE TO POSITION THE VISOR AS NEEDED IMPEDED MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AND WAS OBSTRUCTING HER VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE SUN VISOR FROM THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE ROADWAY. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, NOR WAS THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 51,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000. UPDATED 6/4/12 *CN

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP, IMPAIRING VISIBILITY. I HAVE BEEN SWINGING IT OVER TO THE DRIVER WINDOW. THIS MUST BE A DESIGN/QUALITY PROBLEM THAT SURELY TOYOTA CAN CORRECT AND REPLACE WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE TO REPAIR IT MYSELF FOR NOW UNTIL A POSSIBLE RECALL COULD BE ENACTED. *TR

WITH LESS THAN 18,000 MILES ON IT BOTH SUN VISORS ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HAVE BROKEN. IN CHECKING ONE OF THEM I FOUND A BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC IN IT THAT CAUSED IT TO FAIL. I DID NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE VISORS BUT DID USE A LARGE BINDER CLIP TO SQUEEZE THEM BACK TOGETHER SO THEY STAY UP BUT CANNOT PUT THEM DOWN IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE I NEED TO USE THEM. IF I LEAVE THEM DOWN MY VISIBILITY IS SEVERELY IMPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SUN VISORS FRACTURED FROM THEIR HOUSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE VISORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VISOR WERE REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE STAFF STATED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. UPDATED 01/20/12

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE JUST FLOPPED DOWN. IT STARTLED ME AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE SUN VISOR IS UNABLE TO STAY UP BY ITSELF, AND IT REMAINS FLOPPY AND HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. I AM SHORT, AND I HAVE MY SEAT ALL THE WAYS FORWARD AND IN THE HIGHEST POSITION; SO THE FLOPPY VISOR IS A VISUAL OBSTRUCTION TO DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE VISOR UP IS TO TIE IT AND WRAP THE TIE AROUND THE CEILING HAND HOLDER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. SO, IF I'M DRIVING INTO THE SUN, I HAVE TO UNTIE IT; BUT BECAUSE IT HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN, IT BLOCKS MY TOTAL VISION. THE PROBLEM IS COMPOUNDED BECAUSE I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND I AM CONSTANTLY USING MY SUN VISOR YEAR ROUND. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD BEEN LOOSE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEN AROUND SEPTEMBER, IT JUST BROKE AND BECAME FLOPPY. WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE IT STAY IN RAISED POSITION, AND OPTED TO REMOVE IT ALL TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE GOOD VISIBILITY AT ALL TIMES. THE TOYOTA COMPANY ASKED $120 TO REPLACE IT. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THIS PART. *TR

LETTER TO THE ADMINISTRATOR FROM CONGRESSMAN ISRAEL ON BEHALF OF ONE OF HIS CONSTITUENTS REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUN VISORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WERE MANUFACTURED WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE INADEQUATE DESIGN CAUSED THE SUN VISOR TO FALL DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES WITH THE INABILITY TO SECURE IT BACK IN TO PLACE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND PUT THE SUN VISOR DOWN. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK UP AFTER THE SUN WASN'T IN MY EYES, IT WOULDN'T GO UP. AFTER THAT, I TRIED TO FIX IT AT HOME AND ONE DAY IT JUST FELL BACK DOWN AND IT WON'T GO BACK UP. IT IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE I AM DRIVING. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA TO TRY AND FIX IT THEY SAID IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT MYSELF. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND WHEN I ASKED THEM TO CLARIFY THAT THEY WOULDN'T HELP ME OUT WITH THE FIX EVEN THOUGH IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THEY CONFIRMED AND SAID YES. I ALSO WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER. WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT THE CAMRY HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE SUN VISORS BREAKING HE SAID YEAH THEY DO BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON THEM SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP PEOPLE GET THEM FIXED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS BROKEN AND WILL NOT STAY UP IN PLACE. THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP THIS UP AND IT BECOMES A DRIVING HAZARD. REMOVAL OF THE VISOR THEN LEAVES THE DRIVER BLIND FROM THE LIGHT OF THE SUN IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS PART FAILS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THAT TOYOTA HAS CONTINUED TO USE THE SAME MECHANISM IN THE TOYOTA CAMRY SUN VISOR OVER A SEVERAL YEAR SPAN AND SIMPLY USES IT AS A REVENUE SOURCE FROM THE DRIVING PUBLIC. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR SUDDENLY FELL DOWN AND WILL NO LONGER STAY UP. WE HAVE TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING OR KEEP IT TAPED UP WHICH PREVENTS US FROM USING IT WHILE THE SUN IS IN OUR EYES. I HAVE FOUND AN ONLINE FORUM WHERE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2007-2008 CAMRYS. OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNVISOR FALLING DOWN. THANKFULLY MINE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND IS BEING FIXED BY MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE PLATINUM WARRANTY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I HAD BOTH OF MY SUN VISORS BREAK AS I HAVE READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I NEEDED TO USE THE VISOR AND IT BROKE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY SUN VISOR JUST FLOPPED DOWN FOR NO REASON OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXAMINED THE VISOR AND NOTICED IT WOULD NOT GO BACK UP.IT LOOKS LIKE THE SPRINGS IN THE VISOR BROKE. I WENT ON LINE AND READ OF STORIES OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING IN THE 2008 CAMRY..I WENT TO THE TOYOTA OF ORANGE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER[XXX] SAID HE HASN'T HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VISOR AND SHOWED HIM ALL THE COMMENTS ON LINE AND HE SAID YOU CAN GET ANYTHING ON LINE.. THEY WOULD NOT BACK UP THEIR DEFECTIVE VISOR. BUT OVER ALL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT UP WITH TOYOTA. I LOST MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND COULD OF KILLED SOMEONE. MY NAME IS [XXX], I LIVE AT[XXX] VIN # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR MADE A CRACKING NOISE, AND THEN CAME DOWN, AND STAYED IN THE DOWN POSITION, CAUSING US TO HAVE TO BEND OUR HEADS DOWN TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW AND ENDURING THE VISOR HITTING US IN THE FACE AND HEAD. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE LOWERING THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR, THE ENTIRE THING, WITH THE CLIPS FELL TO THE FLOOR. TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE-BECAUSE EVEN WEARING SUN GLASSES THERE IS A LOT OF GLARE. WHEN THE FIRST ONE BROKE, I WENT TO THE DEALER(PENN TOYOTA, ROSLYN NY) WHO TOLD ME THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER ON WARRANTY-3 YEARS, 36,000 MILES WHICH IS TECHNICALLY TRUE AS THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MAY 2008, BUT HAS 33,000 MILES, AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $150.00. I DIDN'T DO IT THERE, BUT INSTEAD BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY OWN MECHANIC, RAILROAD AUTO CARE IN SYOSSET, WHERE IT ALSO COST $150.00. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAS NOT YET BEEN FIXED-I HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. $300 FOR TWO SUN VISORS IS A LOT OF MONEY. PLEASE ORDER A RECALL-THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE SUN VISOR ARE OF POOR DESIGN, AND THE DEALER'S HE HAS SPOKEN WITH ARE SEEING A LOT OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL. UPDATED IVOQ 11/29/11 *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR MOUNT HAS BROKEN AND IT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD WHEN THE VISOR FALLS AT RANDOM TIMES. *TR

BOTH SUN VISORS ON OUR 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HAVE FAILED. THE DRIVER SUN VISOR FAILED FIRST IN JULY OF 2011. IT BEGAN NOT GOING ALL WAY BACK TO THE TOP. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL AND BEGAN TO HANG DOWN BLOCKING OUR VIEW AS WE DROVE. AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION WE BEGAN TO PUSH THE VISOR TO THE SIDE SO THAT WE COULD SEE IN FRONT OF US - HOWEVER IT DID MAKE IT DID OBSCURE OUR SIDE VIEW. WITHIN TWO WEEKS TIME, THE VISOR WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE HINGES AND FALLING OVER/HANGING FROM THE CORNER. NOW, (NOVEMBER 2011) THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAS BEGAN TO FALL AND WILL NOT SAY UP. *TR

THE SUNVISORS ARE VERY CHEAPLY MADE. THEY USE A METAL CLIP THAT SWIVELS AROUND A ROAD AND A PLASTIC CASING AROUND THE METAL CLIP. THE METAL CLIP PUTS WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE FOR THE PLASTIC TO WITHSTAND, RESULTING IN FAILURE. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THEIR SUNVISORS BREAKING AND SUDDENLY HANGING IN THEIR FACE, BLOCKING THEIR VISION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE SUNVISORS MUST BE FORCEFULLY PULLED OUT OF THEIR SOCKET TO ALLOW UNOBSTRUCTED DRIVING. BOTH OF MY SUNVISORS FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF ONE ANOTHER. THE CAR WAS 2.5 YEARS OLD. THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED -- DUE TO MILEAGE, AS WE DROVE A LOT OF HIGHWAY MILES. THERE'S NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THESE VISORS TO FAIL THIS EARLY. THIS IS POOR ENGINEERING, POOR MATERIAL SELECTION, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE SUNVISORS. LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERS ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP OR DOWN MAKING IT A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. IT CANNOT BE MOVED OUT OF YOUR LINE OF VISION SHORT OF REMOVING THE ENTIRE VISOR. THIS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO THE UNSAFENESS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED. IT WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION NOR ANY OTHER.....EXCEPT HANGING STRAIGHT DOWN. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD!!! AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I AM FINDING THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. IT IS ALSO HAPPENING TO THE PASSENGER'S VISOR. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR NO LONGER STAYS UP. THE VISOR HANGS AND BLOCKS MY FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. *TR

BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS BECAME INOPERABLE IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME -- FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED AT ABOUT 39K MILES AND THEN THE DRIVER SIDE AT 42K MILES. THE MECHANISM INSIDE THE VISOR THAT MAKES IT STAY UP OR KEEP IT IN A FIXED POSITION APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS PART BROKE WHICH CAUSED THE VISORS TO HANG DOWN WITH NO SUPPORT. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FAILED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHICH CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT HUNG LOOSE AND BLOCKED MY VISIBILITY. THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP; I HAD TO HOLD IT UP WITH ONE HAND AS I DROVE WITH THE OTHER UNTIL I COULD FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO POSITION SUNVISOR SO THAT IT WAS NOT BLOCKING MY VISION BUT BECAUSE IT WAS HANGING WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE FRICTION RETENTION (FLAPPING LOOSELY), I ENDED UP HAVING TO HOLD IT OUT OF THE WAY WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING WITH THE OTHER. UPON RETURNING HOME, I UTILIZED A PIECE OF TWINE TO HOLD IT OUT OF MY SIGHT-LINE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT ANY ACTION. UPON DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUNVISORS IN 2007 AND 2008 CAMRYS, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I FOUND IN A VERY SHORT TIME.

AROUND JULY 17TH OR 18TH, MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NOT STAY UP, IT WAS FLIMSY AND I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE IT WAS PRETTY MUCH HANGING. WHEN I STARTED TO LOOK AROUND IT AND INVESTIGATE WHAT HAPPENED, I COULD FEEL BEHIND IT SOMETHING STICKING OUT. IT SEEMS AS IF THE SOCKET HOLDING IT IN PLACE JUST BROKE AND IN TURN MADE IT NOT STAY UP. I HAD TO TAKE IT DOWN BECAUSE VELCRO WOULD NOT HOLD IT UP AND I JUST COULD NOT SEE WITH IT HANGING. I HAVE NOT PAID TO FIX IT AS IT IS COSTLY AND DO NOT HAVE $200 + TO SPARE FOR A VISOR WHICH SHOULD CLEARLY HAVE NOT BROKEN ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR. I WANT THIS TO BE FIXED BY TOYOTA. I CALLED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT OF COURSE IT'S NOT AND I'VE ALSO READ BLOGS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE.

THE INTERNAL MECHANISM IS LOCKED AS THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD FIT IN NOW WOULD BE OPPOSITE THE WAY IT HAS TO BE TO WORK.

IT BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VISION, AND THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE IS WITH ONE HAND HOLDING UP THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT VERY SAFE AND OF COURSE ONE CAN ONLY HOLD THEIR ARM ABOVE THEIR HEAD FOR SO LONG - SO NO LONG TRIPS IN THIS CAR. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (I BOUGHT IT NEW 40 MONTHS AGO) AND CHARGES $130 EACH TO REPLACE THEM (THEY CAN'T BE REPAIRED).
