On may 22, 2015, when i got into my car, the sun visor was down. I tried to put it back into its proper place, but it would not stay up. No matter what i tried, it kept flopping down, obstructing the view when driving. If i push it forward toward the front window, i can see better, but still i don't have maximum visibility. It flops back down at times, totally blocking my view of the road and the review mirror. This…

The sun visor on the drivers side won't stay in place - it falls down and totally obstructs my view out of the front window. Toyota refuses to fix this so i now have it tied up with string so i can see out the window. I don't know how long this temporary fix will last! This is my first toyota - i've always had fords for many years (40+) and have never experienced this problem with any other car! Toyota received…

The dashboard is starting to melt and is causing glare on the front windshield while driving. Nothing remedies it and there is question as to whether or not the passenger air bag will deploy properly due to the increased elasticity of the dashboard. *tr

I had taken my car in for servicing several times (normal oil changes), the dealer noticed that the dashboard was getting shiny, disintegrating and falling apart. They took photos of it and told me they would replace it when toyota granted them permission to do so. On june 19, 2014, i was called by a female from the dealer and told that they would replace the part ( allegedly…

I bought my 2008 toyota camry in september 2012 and shortly after the dashboard started melting. It is now very sticky and continues to melt. Because of the melting, the windshield produces a glare and makes driving very difficult during the day. I cannot drive unless i am wearing polarized sunglasses, which helps minimize the glare. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle because of the constant glare on the…

My dashboard has practically melted. It shines and reflects onto the windshield while i'm driving, impairing my vision. Whenever i try to wipe it, whatever i'm using sticks to it and won't come off without tearing and leaving pieces on it. Not only is it an eyesore, but it makes it very difficult to drive. *tr

Alot of people have complain about this issue but it doesn't seem like anything is done to correct the issue. A year ago, the visor on the driver side droop alittle and my husband tried to fix it but it broke and was hanging. We end up purchasing a new visor for about $100 and i don't want to use it because of the risk of having to pay another $100 to fix it. Just recently, the visor on the passenger side broke and…

The dashboard on the camry is melting in the texas sun. The car is parked inside our garage except for the early mornings. When it is hotter than 75 outside the dash becomes extremely soft and sticky. When it gets above 80 the dash starts to get shiny, real shiny to where it reflects on the inside of the windshield making it difficult to see. Additionally the off gassing from the dash causes a film on the windshield…

Passenger sun visor fell from it's folded position from ceiling. 2 or 3 days later the visor completely falls off the support arm altogether. Not even in use during either incident. No passenger even in the seat using the visor. 1-2 weeks later the same thing occurs with the driver's visor. This is a known issue with all 2007-2008 camry's. Toyota has extended the warranty for the sun visors for all camry's built in…
