Since we have purchased this vehicle, both sun visor's have broken due to poor design which utilizes plastic tabs where the visor pivots up and down.

The driver-side sun visor on my 2009 toyota camry recently broke. Like many others have already reported, the visor will not stay up and makes visibility while driving very difficult. In order to drive, i had to physically remove the visor to see, but now i have no visor to help shield the sun, which also makes visibility difficult. I have seen this issue reported online by many different individuals ranging from…

I have a 2009 camry and the driver's side sun visor has failed. It hangs there, only will stay in 2 or 3 specific positions and when it is "up" it droops down in my line of sight causing a serious hazard in driving (which i do a lot of for work every day). This is a serious issue and toyota has refused to cover the repair even though this is a common issue and caused by their faulty equipment and cost saving…

Having problems with the windshield. I guess you can call it windshield bubbles. Real bad at sunrise and at sunset. Kind of looks like hair spray residue on the windshield. Waiting for the factory rep. To look at it. Looks like it is embedded in the glass. Not a clear view when driving into the sun. *tr
