The driver side sun visor fell down into my vision, almost causing me to rear end another vehicle. Toyota doesn't consider this a warranty item and it is not covered, i have done some detective work on the internet and found that thousands of 2007 camry owners are having this same problem, some twice after the dealership replaced the first one. This should most definitely be a recall as it is a safety hazard and…

Driver's side sun visor has broken and will randomly drop down into field of view while driving - while this does not appear to affect my wife's visibility (she is 5' 1"), it will completely block my normal field of view (i am 6' 1"). I can only see immediately in front of the vehicle when it does this and requires me to duck down quickly to try to see while trying to move the visor away at the same time. This could…

The driver's side sun visor broke without the use of excessive force. It flops down whether it is tilted forward or backward. I can't see to drive unless i move it to the side, but then it blocks 80% of the view from the driver's window. I have to lean forward to see my side mirror. This is especially a problem at night. *tr

The drivers side sun visor failed to stay in place after owning the car for approximately 5 years. The visor will not stay up or in any locked position and is very distracting, i have had to pin it up to keep it from falling. It seems as if there is no recall on this nor are toyota dealerships replacing them for free. Would be nice if toyota would fix this due to the visibility and distraction this causes while…

Drivers side sun visor has failed and falls down in front of driver causing a visibility issue. Toyota says it is not covered under warranty. It is obviously a defective part and searching online shows that this has happened to numerous other camry drivers. Part should be recalled and replaced at no cost. I own 2 toyotas and purchased them because of the quality. This is not what i expect from toyota and is a safety…

After i got this car, the following week i used the driver side sun visor and then folded back to the default position. After 2-3 seconds, the visor just flipped over from the default position (not from the clip) blocking the vision and for a moment i couldn't understand what was happening, but luckily there were not vehicles ahead of me and hence had enough time to recover. Now the visor wont stay back in the…

The driver side visor would not stay raised and in place and would flop straight down inhibiting your ability to see. We had to remove the visor completely as it was a safety hazard. Dealerships do not recognize this as an issue, and no recall has been announced by toyota. Dealers are charging to fix this problem and it seems to be a massively widespread problem with this model. See the following link for just a few…

The driver side sun visor just falls in front of your driving view. It is very loose and will not stay in up position. It appears the locking mechanism just breaks very easily. This impairs my view when driving, causing a safety hazard. This seems to be a reoccurring problem with make and model of car for many people. *tt

The sun visor on the driver side does not stay in place. It drops or completely falls down. It is a safety issue as it blocks the view of the driver and can cause a car accident.
