Driver side sun visor was originally put on too tight by the company. It was too difficut to move to the driver's door to block the sun from the window. *tr so, when i tried moving the sun visor back into its original position, the bar broke. The trunk release does not open the trunk from the inside

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. This should be a recall by toyota immediately. *tt

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

Both driver and passenger sun visors are defective and no longer function properly which causes obstruction of view and dangerous driving conditions. The visors are still connected but for some reason, droop horribly and will not stay in their proper positions.

After about 1 week of having the driver's side sun visor becoming increasingly weak, and unable to be completely tucked in the forward position (toward windshield), the visor joint completely failed today, resulting in the visor blocking vision from the drivers seat. This resulted in having to hold the visor up, in order to make the drive home from work (~40 minutes). This incident happened today, and no repairs…

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…

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
