First my passenger sun visor would not stay in the upright position (the position that its put in when not in use). My brother had it in the downward position to keep the sun out of his eyes and then when he tried to put it back up the coil/spring popped and it just hung down and refused to stay put up. A few days later when i was getting into my car i noticed my driver's side sun visor was now hanging just like the…

In my 2008 toyota camry, both sun visors suddenly broke within a few days of each other and now hang straight down. It blocks the drivers vision, and the only way to drive is with one hand holding up the drivers side visor. This is obviously not very safe and of course one can only hold their arm above their head for so long - so no long trips in this car. The toyota dealer said the car is out of warranty (i bought…

I bought this vehicle in may of this year as a certified vehicle. The sun visor on the driver's side will not stay in the "up" position though i have never had to be forceful when adjusting it. The visor hangs down and interferes with my driving, especially at night, and i have resorted to removing it completely. My impression in that this visor is defective and the toyota dealership warranty does not cover it.

Around july 17th or 18th, my driver side visor broke and would not stay up, it was flimsy and i could not see because it was pretty much hanging. When i started to look around it and investigate what happened, i could feel behind it something sticking out. It seems as if the socket holding it in place just broke and in turn made it not stay up. I had to take it down because velcro would not hold it up and i just…

The passenger sunvisor began to hang down slightly and then it dropped all the way down and wouldn't go back up at all. We tried everything to fix it but to no avail. The passenger can't even look forward at certain times of the day due to the sun right in their eyes. Recently, the driver's side sunvisor has now done the same thing. It is hanging down in the view of the driver and causing safety concerns. We have to…

Both the driver and passenger sun visors became inoperable in a relatively short period of time -- first the passenger side failed at about 39k miles and then the driver side at 42k miles. The mechanism inside the visor that makes it stay up or keep it in a fixed position appears to be defective. This part broke which caused the visors to hang down with no support. The driver side visor failed on me while driving on…

The sun visor on my driver's side failed on its own. It impaired my vision because it would droop down and sit within my view. That was fixed under warranty. Now, the passenger side sun visor droops and it is in the way of my right view. Toyota refuses to fix the problem. After searching the internet i found that this is a common issue with toyota. *kb

My wife has a 2008 toyota camry. It is out of warranty as of december 2010. She didn't let me know she was having issues with drivers side sunvisor dropping until it was too late. I searched the internet looking for a replacement part and found this is a common problem other owners share. The dealer wants $117 or more for this part. My issue is toyota knows it's a problem and buying a replacement sunvisor will have…
