I purchased a new 2007 toyota camry in november 2006 from a toyota dealership and keep it parked in my garage when it's not being used. About two years ago, the heat of the sun began melting my dashboard. The dashboard started to look very glossy and shiny and feel very sticky, like glue. Parts of it began to peel.

The piece that goes into the sunvisor itself that holds the visor up is broken. It looks to have come out of its "slot". The metal bracket within visor broke the…

The driver side sun visor broke. The visor won't stay up. It flops down and is difficult to see when driving. E.g. The upper half of my visibility is gone. It can't be moved to the side either, as it is broken at the top. After 5 days of driving with the broken sun visor, i almost hit a pedestrian today due to the limited visibility. Toyota dealer charges $160 total to replace it. I take care of my car well. I read…

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 drivers side sun visor does not stay in "up" position. It will drop down while driving and can be dangerous. I finally had to remove the visor completely from the car, which causes another driving hazard during periods of bright sun light (even with sun glasses on). Several people have reported the same problem on the toyota owners website. Should be recalled. Dealer wants $200 to repair. *tr

The area on the front part of the dashboard (next to the windshield) has become sticky and shiny. It is tacky to the touch and easily gouges. It creates a glare for the driver that can impair his ability to drive. We have tried washing the area and it does not improve the condition! It is dangerous and unsightly! *tr

Since i drive to work facing the sun and drive home facing the sun, the commute is very difficult, tiresome, and dangerous. Please advise me how to rectify this problem. *tr

Driver side visor replaced last year (2011) due to same issue: visor directly impacted driver's view. Sun visor on passenger side now drooping after shifting position to put sun shade in place.
