I purchased a used 2009 camry base model from the original owner. She notified me that the driver side visor is broken on the inside of the visor. It hangs down obstructing driver's view even when snapped into place. I took it to a shop to be fixed and they told me they have seen this on almost every 2009 camry and there is no way to fix it, only replace it at my own cost. This is a defect that should have been…

Our driver side visor becomes extremely floppy lately. We didn't know there was a recall on models similar to our 2009 toyota camry. It's barely out of warranty now and it's a big safety concern. We have owned many cars, and not one has a visor issue, please help!!!

Moonroof exploded while in the middle of the san mateo bridge. Immediately heard wind noise coming from the moonroof (the shade fortunately was drawn). I saw no obvious gravel on the bridge and no vehicles in my immediate vicinity that might account for it.

I purchased a new 2009 toyota camry se, after owning ten toyota vehicles since 1978. I still own four today! I have never experienced anything like this issue in another car. In 2014-2015 (estimated) my entire dash board became sticky, as if i had poured oil on it. Today it releases a thick sticky residue onto the front windshield when parked in the sun. This makes the dash impossible to wipe... As towels, sponges,…

The dashboard on my camry has become very sticky and shiny causing a bright glare on the windshield. It is difficult to see past the glare during night and day driving. It has been difficult to drive because the glare is distracting and blocks the front view of the driver.

My dash board is sticky and melted looking. The glare it causes makes it very difficult to see. If i don't wear sunshades i cant see.
