Defective sun visors in interior. Sun visor internals broke after 3.5 years of normal operation - visor hangs down and impedes visibility and is in an unsafe position in event of collision. Poor product quality creates potential safety hazard to driver visibility. *tr

At 48000 miles the passenger side visor started free rotation (up and down) and free swing (side to side). Had to remove visor . At 56600 mile the driver side visor had same problem. Visor did not stay in up position plus it started moving side to side. Had to remove visor at 56600 miles to prevent accident. This problem seems to be wide spread with the 2008 camry. *tr

Driver's side sun visor started having difficulty in maintaining the up position, finally failed and would only hang down straight toward the ground obstructing your view. Upon stopping, i removed the visor out of fear that it would cause an accident. Have contacted the local dealership, and have been advised it will be under warranty if there is no sign of abuse. *ln
