2009 Toyota Camry Wipers & Visibility Problems

Your dashboard is melting and creating a glare on the windshield that's blocking your view of the road. This glare has nearly caused you to have accidents because you couldn't see traffic clearly. Even though your dashboard was already replaced once for the same reason, it's happening again. The fix will likely involve another dashboard replacement and possibly investigating why the replacement part is also failing.

Your dashboard has become soft, sticky, and is now melting in the sun, creating a serious safety problem. The melted dashboard is reflecting sunlight onto your windshield so severely that it's difficult to see while driving, especially toward the sun. Toyota offered a 10-year warranty to cover this known defect, but you missed the deadline by 5 days, and the manufacturer has refused to cover the $1,500 repair cost after that period ended.

Soon after I purchased this 2009 Camry in June 2022 with only 59K miles, the dash pad became very sticky and it's producing a glare on the windshield making it hard to see at times. When I called Toyota customer service, I was told the recall for this car was only good for 10 years and had expired. I called the previous owner and he stated that Toyota never notified him of this recall. This is a safety issue and should be addressed by Toyota.

The vehicle dashobard is melting and cracking, this is a known Toyota issue on this model. It creates a very shiny reflection during high sun times, and at night. It is extremley dangerous, and Toyota said they knew about it and did an extended warranty. but as they did not view it as a safety issue they did not notify any of the toytoa owners. This is aabsolutley a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry. The contact mentioned that while in her vehicle, the dashboard was disintegrating with a sticky substance visible. The contact mentioned that there was a glare with the sticky dashboard on the windshield obstructing her vision while driving. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 138,570

Dashboard surface has become very shiny which creates a glare and significantly reduced visibility in some circumstances. Dash surface seems to be melting as it is shiny and also sticky when touched. We are the original owners and this vehicle was garaged most of its life, however now when the vehicle has been parked outdoors the dash surface has become shiny resulting in a unsafe reflection in some driving situations.

I was diving my car on a 200 mile trip and I noticed that the driver side Sun Visor fell down and wouldn't stay up even when it was in its stowed position. During the day it progressive got worst. I now have to physically hold it in place so I can see while driving. I first thought my kid broke it, but that wasn't the case. Since I'm an engineer, I usually repair my car on my own. So I went looking on the internet for a replacement part and that is when I stumbled on the recall. My failure seemed to follow the same failure mode called out in the recall. However, my Visor didn't fail during the recall window. However, in my engineering opinion, this is a part the will fail at some point in the cars life and the manufacture should have done a recall and replace on every car manufactured during the years that used the same parts. Toyota no longer recognizes this as a problem. The more that the visor is used the more likely this failure will occur. Bottom line, it is a safety hazard that had a band aide approach to repairing it and should be revisited since more then likely it will occur on any vehicle that didn't experience the failure during the recall window.

While driving into the sun, the sun reflects off the dash causing you to not be able to see out the windshield. The dash has a tacky feel to it and is extremely shiny and any light that comes in trough the windshield reflect back at the windshield causing you to not be able to see what is in front of you. No warning of this issue with the vehicle. I have tried cleaning the dash with special cleaners to remove the shimmer however no resolution. The only resolution I have heard of is to have the dash completely replaced with the aftermarket dash that is made out of a different component.

SUN VISOR SAGS. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN AND TOYOTA SAYS WE RECEIVED IT VIA MAIL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A TOYOTA DEALER THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN GREENBROOK NJ. WE TOOK THE CAR TO DCH AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WAS FALLING DOWN. WE CONTACTED THEM AND THEY SAID IT IS OUT BY 4 YEARS YET WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS. WE CONTACTED THEM ABOUT NOT RECEIVING IT AND THEY SAID WE HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS. NOW WE PAY FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND SERVICE BULLETINS. THE VISOR WOULD BE A VISIBILITY FACTOR WHEN LINE OF SITE IS INTERRUPTED. WE HAD TO FIX AT OUR COST OF 104.00 FOR A PLASTIC SUN VISOR THAT HAD AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE GLUE SEPARATED AND IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE OWNER.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE OFF. UNABLE TO BLOCK THE LOW HORIZON SUN FROM SHINING INTO THE DRIVER'S FACE WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN.

THE GLARE FROM THE STICKY DASHBOARD IS MAKING THE VEHICLE MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

GLARE FROM MELTED DASHBOARD

THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IS STICKY AND SHINY WHICH HAS CREATED AN INTENSE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE SOME SPOTS WHILE DRIVING. THE SHINY DASHBOARD DOES NOT RETURN TO NORMAL EVEN IN COOLER TEMPERATURES, OR IF A SUNSHADE IS USED. THE SHINY STICKY GOO LIKE FILM CAN NOT BE WIPED AWAY EITHER.

MELTING DASHBOARD AND DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP. THE MELTING DASH CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE OBSTUCTED. I WAS TOLD THAT I MISSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN SENT ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

MELTING DASHBOARD BECOME REFLECTIVE HINDERING/BLINDING DRIVER DURING DAYTIME DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DETACHED AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM VIEWING THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR HAD PREVIOUSLY DETACHED AND WAS REPLACED BY HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS THE STICKY DASHBOARD PROBLEM AND CAUSES GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT CAUSES UNSAFE OPERATING. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX THE DASHBOARD. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THERE IS A VEHICLE YOU CAN SEE IN FRONT BUT BARELY.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON A FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER'S VISOR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ROTATED COMPLETELY DOWN, BLOCKING MY VIEW OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD SO THAT I COULD NOT SEE AHEAD. IT WAS A DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING SITUATION! I HAD TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE HOLDING THE VISOR UP SO THAT I COULD GET HOME SAFELY AND THEN GET THE CAR TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. TOYOTA KNEW THAT THIS SAFETY HAZARD EXISTED AND WAS SERIOUS BECAUSE IT DID A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE" FOR 2007 TO 2011 CAMRY HYBRID SUN VISOR BRACKETS, BUT THIS EXPIRED FOR MY CAR IN MAY OF 2016.

THE DRIVER VISOR DROOPS DOWN. IT JUST RECENTLY STARTED DOING THIS. IT BLOCKS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. IT WILL NOT STAY UP. WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR THIS EVENING IT WAS DOWN AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR SPONTANEOUSLY ROTATED DOWNWARDS AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (BOBBY RAHAL TOYOTA, 6711 CARLISLE PIKE, MECHANICSBURG, PA 17050, (888) 376-3831) AND WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, BUT COULD BE ORDERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1809061540. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. *DT UPDATED 10/29/18*JB

I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY ON JUNE 23, 2008. AFTER A FEW YEARS, THE DASHBOARD BECAME SOFT AND STICKY. JUST THIS LAST SUMMER, I NOTICED IT MELTING ON A HOT SUNNY DAY. I LOOKED INTO HAVING IT REPLACED. THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION LETTER PREVIOUSLY SENT TO ME, WHICH STATED THIS TYPE OF KNOWN PROBLEM WOULD BE COVERED FOR UP TO 10 YEARS SINCE CAR WAS FIRST PLACED IN SERVICE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T DETERMINE THIS WAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM TO ME UNTIL JUNE 28, 2018. I MISSED THE WARRANTY EXTENSION BY 5 DAYS. I CONTACTED NEWBOLD TOYOTA ON JUNE 29, 2018, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT AFTER THE 10 YEARS, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, EXCEPT TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR. THE REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT APPROX. $1,500 FOR THE DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT "OH WELL, I CAN LIVE WITH THIS." BUT NOW THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED SO MUCH THAT IT NOW REFLECTS SUNLIGHT INTO THE WINDSHIELD SO BADLY THAT IT IS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN ON A SUNNY DAY (EVEN WHILE WEARING SUNGLASSES). SO THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD IS NOW CAUSING VERY HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. SO I CONTACTED THE NATIONAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY SAID ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING AS NEWBOLD TOYOTA. THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO NOW. SINCE THIS DESIGN/MATERIAL FLAW HAS CAUSED SUCH A SERIOUS HAZARD WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, AND THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR, I HAD NO IDEA THE DASHBOARD HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE. IF ONLY I HAD NOTICED THE MELTING A FEW DAYS EARLIER THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT. WHY DOES THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX A DEFECT/SAFETY ISSUE END AFTER 10 YEARS. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTO TO SHOW REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD BUT BLINDING GLARE IS MUCH WORSE IN PERSON.

I WAS DENIED REPLACEMENT OF A MELTED DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED (BY 2 BUSINESS DAYS). THE 2009 CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTING IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT CASTS A JARRING GLARE ONTO THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. INJURIES OR WORSE ARE IMMINENT. PLEASE ACT ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS AND ESTABLISH A RECALL FOR TOYOTA MELTING DASHBOARDS.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE EXCEPT FOR FULL DOWN POSITION. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. WAS SEARCHING FOR HOW TO FIX IT AND FOUND LINK TO HERE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL TOYOTA VISORS AND IS DUE TO BAD DESIGN AND POOR MATERIALS. TOYOTA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND IT AND THE REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE THE SAME JUNK AS ORIGINAL.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. WHEN IT SOLIDIFIES IT BECOMES EXTREMELY REFLECTIVE AND OBSTRUCTS THE WINDSHIELD VIEW.

SUN VISORS ARE FAULTY DESIGN. HEAT (SUN) CAUSE EXPANSION OF THE PLASTIC JOINTS TO EXPAND/CONTRACT EVENTUALLY LEADING TO FAILURE. THE VISOR HANGS DOWN BLOCKING DRIVER'S VISION. REPLACEMENTS COST $90 OR MORE AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS BECAUSE OF FAULTY DESIGN.

DASHBOARD BEGINS TO MELT WHEN IN SUNLIGHT. WHEN HOT TO TOUCH, HANDS WILL STICK. FIRST NOTICED WHEN USING A NEW SUN VISOR. ALL WE DID WAS EXTEND THE VISOR TOWARDS BOTTOM OF WINDSHIELD AND PICKED UP SCRATCHES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

I BOUGHT MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2.4 IN 2011 AND LAST YEAR I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR, IT STARTED NOT TO STAY COMPLETE CLOSED AND STARTED TO STAY OPEN, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR IT, NOW I AM TRYING TO SEE IF THIS IS A RECALL OR MANUFACTURER FAULT.

THE SUNVISORS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FAIL DOWN. THEY BLOCK THE VIEW WHEN I AM DRIVING . IT IS DANGEROUS

MY EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ENGINE NEEDED REPAIRS PER A TOYOTA MAJOR RECALL. I TOOK THE CAR AND AS YOU CAN SEE BELOW IT HAS BEEN A VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE. AFTER BEING TOLD THAT MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS ON A RECALL LIST, I WAS GIVEN A POSSIBLE REPAIR DATE OF WITHIN 10 MONTHS. I WAITED AND WAS GIVEN A DROP OFF DATE OF 1/23/2017. I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL CAR AND WENT ON TO WORK. AFTER 5 DAYS I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS READY BUT, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS THAT WERE REMOVED/REPLACED TO DO THE WORK ON THE RECALL. I QUESTIONED WHY I WAS BEING CHARGED FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO PARTS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE LABOR DUE TO THE RECALL. I GOT FETCHED A LONG STORY FROM TOYOTAS 800 NUMBER AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT, GO PICK UP MY CAR AND PAY THE $269.54. I PICKED IT UP AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS DRIVEN 58 MILES, UPON LEAVING AND AS I GOT ON THE MAIN ROAD I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A HUGE CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD AS WELL. I CALLED BACK AND SPOKE TO [XXX] , HE WAS RUDE, A BULLY, AND ACCUSED ME OF LYING ABOUT THE DAMAGE. I BEGGED THEM TO PULL THEIR SECURITY TAPES WHICH THEY REFUSED. TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE ANY PARTS THAT SHOULD GET DAMAGED IN THE PROCESS AS THEY PERFORM THEIR REPAIRS. I'M ASKING FOR A FULL REFUND AND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DAMAGED WINDSHIELD. I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO THEIR STORE AND PREFER TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AT EITHER MY RESIDENCE OR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. I'VE OWNED 3 TOYOTAS AND REFUSE TO GO BY AND PURCHASE MY NEXT CAR FROM [XXX]. I REALIZE THAT I AM A SINGLE CUSTOMER HOWEVER; I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY. I'VE NEVER TRIED TO ABUSE MY CAR AND I KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. IN MY OPINION [XXX] SHOULD BE RETRAINED. HIS LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM IS GOING TO COST YOU GUYS THOUSANDS AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE VALUABLE CUSTOMERS IF YOU CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2009 CAMRY BASE MODEL FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SHE NOTIFIED ME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS BROKEN ON THE INSIDE OF THE VISOR. IT HANGS DOWN OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VIEW EVEN WHEN SNAPPED INTO PLACE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO BE FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON ALMOST EVERY 2009 CAMRY AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT, ONLY REPLACE IT AT MY OWN COST. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR MADE A CLICKING NOISE AND WAS CLOSE TO FRACTURING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER HAS BIG AIR BUBBLES COMPROMISING VISIBILITY. ALSO THE I HAD REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR 3 TIMES FOR BEING BROKEN WHEN PULLED DOWN FOR USE.

OUR DRIVER SIDE VISOR BECOMES EXTREMELY FLOPPY LATELY. WE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON MODELS SIMILAR TO OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT'S BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND IT'S A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. WE HAVE OWNED MANY CARS, AND NOT ONE HAS A VISOR ISSUE, PLEASE HELP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DETACHED ON THE LEFT CORNER AND FAILED TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE SUN VISOR FELL IN A PERFECT POSITION BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION I HAD TO STOP TO ADJUST, THE VISOR IT FALLS ALL THE TIME TOYOTA REFUSED TO REPAIR OR FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT OF THE DRIVER CREATING A VISIBILITY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT A SPRING FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

SINCE WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, BOTH SUN VISOR'S HAVE BROKEN DUE TO POOR DESIGN WHICH UTILIZES PLASTIC TABS WHERE THE VISOR PIVOTS UP AND DOWN. THE VISORS SUBSEQUENTLY HANG DOWN OBSCURING VISIBILITY. WE PURCHASED A DRIVER'S SIDE ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AT A COST OF $90.00 AND ON JULY 24TH THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKE AND NOW NEEDS REPLACING. THIS WILL BE A CYCLE, BECAUSE EVEN THE REPLACEMENT VISOR HAS THE SAME PLASTIC PIVOT. WE LIVE IN ALABAMA AND THE SUMMER SUN VIRTUALLY BAKES THE PART. I EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE HAPPENING. VERY DISAPPOINTING DESIGN. I'VE OWNED CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER KNOWN SUN VISORS TO BREAK LIKE THIS. UPDATED 9/15/15 *LN

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAMRY HAS BECOME VERY STICKY AND SHINY CAUSING A BRIGHT GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE PAST THE GLARE DURING NIGHT AND DAY DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE GLARE IS DISTRACTING AND BLOCKS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V491000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

MY VISOR BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VISORS TYPICALLY DON'T COME OFF OF CARS THAT ARE EVEN MUCH OLDER THAN MY 2009 TOYOTA. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ADJUSTING MY VISIBILITY FROM THE SUN.

THIS IS FOR A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4 DOOR SEDAN. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR BECOMES COMPLETELY LOOSE AND ROTATES AND FALLS DOWN JUST LIKE ONE WOULD BRING IT DOWN TO BLOCK SUNLIGHT. THIS HAMPERS THE VISION OF THE DRIVER.

MOONROOF EXPLODED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SAN MATEO BRIDGE. IMMEDIATELY HEARD WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE MOONROOF (THE SHADE FORTUNATELY WAS DRAWN). I SAW NO OBVIOUS GRAVEL ON THE BRIDGE AND NO VEHICLES IN MY IMMEDIATE VICINITY THAT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR IT. THOUGHT FOR A SECOND THAT SOMETHING DROPPED OFF A LANDING PLANE AND REALIZED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE EASILY PUNCHED THROUGH THE SHADE. I EXAMINED THE DAMAGE LESS THAN TEN MINUTES LATER WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. SAW SHATTERED GLASS AND A HOLE THAT WAS ALMOST CENTERED. FOUND NO MARKS ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE SHADE TO INDICATE AN OBJECT HITTING. THE EDGES OF THE HOLE TILTED UPWARDS. TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME IS ESTIMATED TO BE LOW 60S, SUNNY, AND NO DISCERNIBLE WIND. INSIDE TEMP WAS SET AT 67 OR 68 AND THE FAN WAS SET ON THE LOW 2 SETTING. MY HUSBAND EXAMINED THE CAR WHEN I RETURNED HOME ABOUT 3 1/2 HOURS LATER. HE SEARCHED THROUGH THE SHATTERED GLASS AND FOUND NO OBJECTS. HE TESTED THE TILTED EDGE TO SEE WHAT FLEXIBILITY IT HAD WHEN I ASKED IF AIR FLOW MIGHT HAVE DISTORTED THE OPENING IN THE GLASS. IT WAS QUITE STIFF AND HE SAID THAT WAS UNLIKELY. HE (PHD IN ENGINEERING) CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AN OBJECT AND COMMENTED THE MOONROOF APPEARED AS IF IT SHATTERED UPWARDS DUE TO STRUCTURAL STRESS. I HAVE A NUMBER OF PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE, ONE TAKEN 10 MINUTES AFTERWARDS, THE REST WHEN I RETURNED HOME. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE IS HOLDING ON TO THE ROCK THEORY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN POSITION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

DRIVING 55 MPH ON EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE GLASS MOON ROOF EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO OBJECT HITTING IT. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE, THE GLASS LOOKED AS IF IT WAS SLIGHTLY PUSHED UPWARDS AROUND THE HOLE. THE ENTIRE GLASS AREA WAS CRACKED, THERE WAS A HOLE ABOUT 12" X 5" IN CENTER. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR UNABLE TO TOTALLY FOLD BACK, THE VISOR HAD A LITTLE BIT LOOSE AND CANNOT RETURN BACK TO THE TOP CEILING OF THE CAR. IT STARTED GETTING WORSE MONTHS BY MONTH, FINALLY BY AUGUST,2014,IT TOTALLY CANNOT FLIP BACK TO ORIGINAL TOP . IT CANNOT BE USED TO BLOCK SUN LIGHT FROM THE FRONT IN THE MORNING OR EVENING TIME. IT CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE. I COMPLAINT TO TOYOTA FOR EXCHANGE. BUT DEALER WANT ME TO WAIT FOR AT LEAST 4 - 6 WEEKS TO GET PARTS. *TR

NOTICED DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP. IT BLOCKS MY VIEW. WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT UP ( FORWARDS OR BACK, IT JUST FALLS BACK TO THE DOWN POSITION. I REPLACED IT ONCE FOR THE SAME REASON AND IT TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS BROKEN. NOW, ABOUT A YEAR LATER, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND MY VIN NUMBER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT I KNOW THIS IS A POPULAR PROBLEM. *TR

SUNVISOR IS NOT HOLDING UP. AFTER CONTACTING SEVERAL OF TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS WITH NO AVAIL I AM FINALLY COMPLAINING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH CAMRY AND CAMRY HYBRIDS SUNVISORS IN MODELS 2007-2011. MANY THANKS *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY "FLOPPED" DOWN IMPAIRING VISION WHILE DRIVING. WILL NOT HOLD IN THE UPPER OR FULLY EXTENDED POSITION. HANGS DIRECTLY IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. *TR

SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR NO LONG STAYS UP, CONSEQUENTLY IT BLOCKS MY VISION WHEN I DON'T WANT IT TO. CHECKED WITH MY DEALER AND HE SAID THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. FRANKLY, THIS DEFECT IS UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

SUN VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION, FALLS DOWN WHILE DRIVING CREATING AN OBSTRUCTION. *TR

THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE KEEPS FALLING DOWN, CAUSING BLOCKING OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS CONSTANT AND HAVE HEARD THROUGH OTHERS WITH A CAMRY- THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. *TR

THE VISORS ARE BOTH BROKEN AND DO NOT STAY IN FIXED POSITION. I WENT TO 10 JUNKYARDS TO BUY REPLACEMENTS BUT THEY ALL SAID THAT SAME THING. THAT THESE VISORS ARE ALL DEFECTIVE AND THEY SELL THEM IMMEDIATELY. THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF FACTORY DEFECT THAT MAKES THEM CRACK INTERNALLY. THERE IS ALSO SOME OILY RESIDUE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT IS STICKY AND SHINNY. SO MUCH SO THAT IN THE DAYTIME IT IS HARD TO SEE. JUST WHAT IS THIS GOO ? I CANT GET THE STICKY STUFF OFF AND NOW THE SUN IS BLINDING ME AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE VISORS. I THOUGHT THAT THE STICKY STUFF ON THE DASHBOARD WAS ONLY MY CAR BUT IT SEEM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR WITH THE GRANDKIDS AND ITS REALLY STARTING TO CREEP ME OUT. *TR

NOISE MADE WHEN TURN ON HEATER. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY WITH NO PREVIOUS NOISES BEFORE. HAD BEEN IN CAR DRIVING AND USING HEATER FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE THE NOISE STARTED. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAD TWO OTHER ISSUES. PASSENGER & DRIVER VISORS WONT STAY UP. THE DOOR LOCKS WONT WORK. THEY HAVEN'T WORKED SINCE NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASED VEHICLE. ONE DAY THEY WORK, ANOTHER NOT. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, IT STARTED RAINING SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS, THEY WORKED. THE RAIN SLOWED AND I TURNED THE WIPERS OFF. WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN HARDER AGAIN I TURNED THE WIPER SWITCH BACK TO ON- THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. WE'VE HAD TOYOTA CHECK THEM OUT ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, NOV. 22, 2013 AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, IT BEGAN TO RAIN. I TURNED THE SWITCH ON, AND THE WIPERS WOULD WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THEY QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE IT BEGAN TO RAIN AGAIN- THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT NOW THE WIPERS WON'T COME ON AT ALL! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP. WHATEVER IS HOLDING IT UP IS BROKEN. I'VE GONE ON THE INTERNET AND READ MANY SIMILAR ACCOUNTS. *TR

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). *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR GRADUALLY FALLS DOWN AS I AM DRIVING, BLOCKING MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE SUN VISOR AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR IT, BUT WHEN I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T FOR MY VIN #. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE SUN WOULD SHINE ON THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL, IT WOULD REFLECT AND CAUSE AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY OF THE ROADWAY. IN ADDITION, THE MATERIAL ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD BECOME VERY STICKY AS IF IT WERE MELTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,534. UPDATED 10/17/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY SHINY AND STICKY AND THERE WERE SMALL HOLES BEGINNING TO APPEAR. AS TIME WENT ON WITHIN A WEEK, THERE WERE MORE HOLES. THE HOLES WERE AN INCH LONG. ..UPDATED 12/17/13 *BF UPDATED 12/18/13*CN PHOTOS RECEIVED 12/18/13

AS ALWAYS WHEN I ARRIVE TO WORK I PUT UP THE SUNSCREEN IN THE FRONT WINDOW. IT IS HELD IN PLACE BY THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUN VISORS. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO REMOVE THE SCREEN AFTER WORK, THE VISOR WOULD NOT RETURN TO ITS NORMAL "LOCKED" POSITION. REGARDLESS OF THE ANGLE OF THE VISOR, IT WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND, BECAUSE IT WOULD OBSTRUCT MY LINE OF VISION IF LEFT TO HANG. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TAKE IT OFF THE ARM SWING. IT WAS NOT DIFFICULT AND IT SLID OFF EASILY. IT APPEARS THE PLASTIC CASING THAT WOULD SURROUND THE ARM SWING HAS FAILED. I AM CURRENTLY WITHOUT A DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON CA HIGHWAY 80 WEST FROM WORK WHEN SUDDENLY, MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR DROPPED DOWN IN FRONT OF MY WINDSHIELD. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS TOYOTA PART BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS MODEL IN 2009. THIS VISOR DOES NOT SEEM TO RETURN TO IT'S UP POSITION COMPLETELY SINCE 2009. NOW, IN 2013, THIS VISOR HAS COMPLETELY FAILED TO RETURN TO IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION AND CAN OBSTRUCT MY VIEW WHEN I DRIVE. I WISH TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THIS VISOR SINCE IT IS A "SAFETY" ISSUE WHEN A PART CAN OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM ALSO PART OF A CARPOOL FOR MY CHILD AND THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE AN ISSUE WHEN I DRIVE SEVERAL KIDS IN MY CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE MODEL THAT MY WIFE DRIVES 95% OF THE TIME, I WAS BEING ANNOYED BY THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DROPING DOWN AND OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW, IT WOULD NOT STAY FULLY UP, IN ASKING MY WIFE ABOUT THIS SHE RESPONDED IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR A WHILE BUT IS GETTING WORSE, AND SHE MENTIONED THE PASSENGER SIDE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL INTO THE DOWN POSITION AND THEN BACK UP, STOPPED USING IT BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO BREAK IT. I ORDERED THRU THE DEALER THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR AND WEEKS AFTER I AM TOLD IT IS IN BACK ORDER AND NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I WONDER IF TOYOTA IS USING THERE AVAILABLE STOCK FOR THOSE CONSUMERS THAT TAKE IT IN FOR DEALER REPAIR/REPLACEMENT AT A COST TO THE CONSUMER, AS I HAVE READ IN SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS. WHAT AM I TO DO ? ANY SUGGESTIONS ? HELP !!!! I DONT WANT TO WAIT FOR A ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. THE VISOR WOULD FALL AND BLOCK THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROADWAY.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) WHEN DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE, FLOPPED DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, BLOCKING ROAD FROM MY VIEW. HAD TO HOLD IT UP UNTIL I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. COULD HAVE CRASHED. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND IS BLOCKING VISIBILITY AND UNSAFE IN A CRASH AS IT WILL IMPACT MY FOREHEAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 CAMRY AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. IT HANGS THERE, ONLY WILL STAY IN 2 OR 3 SPECIFIC POSITIONS AND WHEN IT IS "UP" IT DROOPS DOWN IN MY LINE OF SIGHT CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD IN DRIVING (WHICH I DO A LOT OF FOR WORK EVERY DAY). THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND COST SAVING MEASURES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR ALL AFFECTED OWNERS ASAP. *JS

THE DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY RECENTLY BROKE. LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE ALREADY REPORTED, THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND MAKES VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT. IN ORDER TO DRIVE, I HAD TO PHYSICALLY REMOVE THE VISOR TO SEE, BUT NOW I HAVE NO VISOR TO HELP SHIELD THE SUN, WHICH ALSO MAKES VISIBILITY DIFFICULT. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE REPORTED ONLINE BY MANY DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS RANGING FROM 2007-2009 CAMRY MODELS. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I HOPE TOYOTA CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FLAW AND PROVIDE A FIX. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SUN VISOR FELL DOWN AND IMPAIRED MY SEEING THE ROAD AHEAD. I WENT TO GO FLIP IT UP BUT IT HAD BROKEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. I WAS TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHILE HOLDING UP THE VISOR AND TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I FINALLY GOT OFF THE ROAD I HAD TO ACTUALLY RIP THE VISOR OFF BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T GO UP AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT I DID. THE CAR IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD. NORMALLY I WOULD JUST FIX THIS AND MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE, BUT UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO THE 2007 CAMRY ON THE SAME VISOR ISSUE. WE WERE LUCKY WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY BUT LET ME TELL YOU, I COULDN'T SEE A THING AND IF THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN IT FELL DOWN I WOULD HAVE HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. AGAIN, IT WAS WITHOUT WARNING AND JUST FELL DOWN - I WASN'T MOVING IT OR TOUCHING IT. I'M BEYOND UPSET ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I KNOW THAT TOYOTA WAS WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION. *KB

AS IT WAS JUST DANGLING IN MY FACE WOULD NOT STAY UP TOWARDS THE WINDOW. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THERE HAS BEEN SOME OTHERS HAVING SAME ISSUE BUT, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYONE THAT HAS GOTTEN HURT OR THEY HAVE NOT MADE ALOT OUT OF IT.

THE SUN VISOR IN 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE HANGS IN FACE WHILE DRIVING.IN THE DOWN POSITION AND WOULD NOT STAY SECURED IN THE "UP" POSITION, IT THEN CAME OFF BRACKET AND COULD BE SEEN THROUGH THE UPHOLSTERY. DUE TO THE MAJOR OBSTRUCTION OF VISION IT HAD TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE VISOR TO PREVENT WRECKING. THE BLACK METAL HINGE ALLOWING THE VISOR TO "FLIP" CRACKED THE PLASTIC TUBE LIKE PIECE AT THE TOP OF THE VISOR CAUSING IT TO STAY DOWN AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD. *TT

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED TO THE DOWN POSITION BLOCKING SITE VISIBILITY ( THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AND WAS IN MOTION ON A PUBLIC HIGHWAY) AND IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE RETRACTED (AGAINST THE ROOF) POSITION. IT CONTINUES TO OBSTRUCT VISION WHEN IN THE FORWARD POSITION AND BLOCKS PERIPHERAL VISION WHEN SWUNG UP AGAINST THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED THEIR REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT IT IS A COMMON AND ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET REVEAL THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS PERSISTED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL LEAD TO VEHICULAR DAMAGED AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. *TR

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD. I GUESS YOU CAN CALL IT WINDSHIELD BUBBLES. REAL BAD AT SUNRISE AND AT SUNSET. KIND OF LOOKS LIKE HAIR SPRAY RESIDUE ON THE WINDSHIELD. WAITING FOR THE FACTORY REP. TO LOOK AT IT. LOOKS LIKE IT IS EMBEDDED IN THE GLASS. NOT A CLEAR VIEW WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. *TR

IN THIS COLD MORNING, THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CAR WAS COVERED WITH FROST. I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST. I FOUND THE FROST NEVER MELT IN ABOUT ONE-FOURTH (OR EVEN ONE THIRD) OF THE REAR WINDOW FROM THE TOP, WHILE THE FROST OF THE REST OF THE REAR WINDOW IS COMPLETELY DISSOLVED BY HEAT WIRE. THE HEAT WIRE DID NOT WORK FOR THE UPPER PART BUT WORKED FOR THE REST PART OF THE WINDOW. IT IS REALLY A HAZARD WHEN YOU DRIVE AND YOU CAN NOT REALLY SEE CLEARLY FROM YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR. *TR
