The driver side visor failed on me when i put it down. This seems to be a common issue with the sun visors. This issue can be a potential hazard as it obstructs my view during normal operation of the vehicle. I have to move the visor to the side in order to have a full view ahead. If the visor is left in front of me then it is hard to see traffic and traffic lights in front of me and can potentially cause an…

Concerning the driver's side interior sun visor; the plastic housing of the visor separated from metal arm that attaches to the roof of the vehicle (the plastic casing cracked). The visor was dangling from the metal attachment and obstructing my view, hitting my forehead as i would brake or accelerate. Had to pull it off completely to avoid visibility obstruction, distraction from driving, and being stricken on my…

Driver's side visor has broken and is hanging in the line of vision. This is causing an obstruction of view for the driver whether in the forward facing position or rotated to the left side where it blocks the driver's vision to the left. The visor was not being mishandled when it broke. This is a safety issue as the driver cannot see properly and causes problems when driving and trying to deal with the visor in…

The driver side visor is defective in my opinion which is preventing me to properly see the road. This part cannot rest on the roof but rather it droops down in a slanted angel. The rear doom light is falling apart exposing wirings in the passenger compartment. *tr

The driver side sun visor broke and will not go back up. This inhibits my ability to drive safely especially in bright and low light situations as well as in general because it obstructs my view. Toyota will not fix it unless i pay $150! *js

The sun visor on the driver's side started to come off. I thought it wasn't a big problem at first until it started to come off and was literary dangling. Although this is a small part in the vehicle, this is a major safety hazard. *tr

First the driver side sun visor started dropping and won't stay up, then about 6 months later the passenger side did the same thing. Dealer says cost is over $200 to replace each one. This is unacceptable. I see in the toyota forums this is a common occurrence. There should be a recall on replacing the visors. It is very unsafe. The visor blocks 33% of your vision. Especially frustrating at night. *tr

Driver's sun visor stopped working and became increasingly worse, and toyota wanted an arm and a leg to replace it with another that won't last any longer. When i heard the price to replace a sun visor, i felt like it was a scam to raise revenue. Now, the droopy visor significantly impairs visibility, and toyota supposedly has a recall, but my dealer is refusing to acknowledge that my vehicle is included. Had to…

The driver side sun visor wont go up all the way or extend back. It hangs down part way, so if i happen to be in an accident, i'm afraid it will severly hurt my forehead. If i put it down straight, so it wont hurt me, then my field of vision is impaired. All in all, not very safe. I've read on line that 2007 and 2008 camry's are having this problem and i'm not alone. *js

Driver side sun visor broke for the second time. It won't stay up, it does not work. Dangerous if sun is in front of you. Second time this happened to me, it's not wear and tear like the dealer said. Hate to spend another $200 if it's going to brake again. It's something wrong with the part, toyota should take care of this, i see a lot of complaints about it. *tr

The drivers side visor repeatedly dropped in the extreme down position, blocking my ability to see for driving. It would not stay in any upright position and hung loosely. Out of frustration for my safety and ability to drive, i had to pull it off the flimsy metal holder until i could get to the dealer. Toyota northridge did repair at no cost, although i do have an extended warranty. *js

The drivers side sun visor will not stay up. It just hangs down in the way. It was not damaged in any way that i can see. Just normal use. When driving i have to either move it to the side to see. This has caused some visibility problems when it is very bright outside and you are driving into the sun. I had to remove it as it was impeding my vision during driving. Now i have to drive one-handed in order to shield my…

My left driver's side sun visor began drooping last week. I noticed a few days later that it seemed to be getting lower and lower and was dropping into my field of vision, obstructing my view. Then, it began randomly falling, which completely keeps me from being able to see where i'm going or what might be in my path. During the course of a 15-minute drive today, it fell 3 times. My car is no longer under warranty,…
