The driver side sun visor is drooping and will not stay in place. I was driving on the highway when the problem first occurred and almost got into an accident.
I pulled the driver side visor down to block the sun and it broke and was just hanging there by some fabric. Had to quickly pull over into the ditch to prevent an accident. No happy that there hasn't been a recall on this since I see from all the blogs that this has been an issue for quite some time.
Driver side sun visor dangling. Passenger side sun visor fell off.

1.) my driver side sun visor came loose and I took it to get it repaired. They put the visor back, but, the lights never worked. Few months after it came loose and kept blocking my view, and I kept getting hitting on my head while getting in the car. This week it completely came off (fell) and now I am being burnt in the sun, since there's absolutely no protection. I want my visor to be replaced by toyota, because my care was not that old when it first came loose. 2.) my car does not pickup speed if the AC or heating is on. I have asked the dealer to check and he says there is nothing wrong. Sometimes it feels like, I am pumping gas, but, the car is going nowhere. It stalls for few seconds and sometimes, it just feels as if I am losing control, as if the car is running on it's own, w/o me pumping gas, it picks up speed. Ps: I am never buying another toyota.
Driver's sun visor will not stay in place, dangerously blocking driver's vision. About 7 months later, the passengers also broke. Toyota refuses to acknowledge this defect that creates a safety hazard.
The dashboard of my 2007 toyota camry se has been melting and there is a shine reflection of the dashboard in the windshield creating a visibility problem. I bought this car brand new when it came out at maroon toyota at weston, fl. When I started with the problem I took it to this dealership and the manager said my car was our of warranty and could do nothing. I also took it to headquarters toyota in miami where I have been taking my car for maintenance and I got the same reply. I called toyota USA and the agent said he can't do anything else either because the dashboard of the car has a warranty of only 3 years. This is a manufacturing defect of the car. I never heard of a melting dashboard and my car right now has less than 65k and this started when it was around 50k miles. Please, can you help? I am sure I cannot be the only one complaining. Thank you

The drivers sunvisor will not stay up. It drops down and obstructs your vision . This is a common problem with these cars and is very dangerous.
My toyota camry 2007 has defected the visor won't stay up if flops down and is difficult to see to drive. It can't be moved to the side either, as it is broken at the top. This is a safety concern, a lot of toyota owners has this same problem. Toyota should be has recall this defective part replacement.
Sun visor has broken and drops down to block drivers view. This has happened on both sides, though not simultaneously. Visor must be held in out of the way position until something such as tape can be fixed to hold it up. Given the suddenness of the incident, it could cause loss of view at a critical time.
Visor on drivers side fell down blocking a forward view.
Driver's sunvisor broke and hung down blocking my vision while driving. I think this is a safety issue that should be addressed.

Our driverside sunvisor started drooping and the light stopped working!
The sun visor on the driver side won't stay up if flops down and is difficult to see to drive. It flopped while I was driving and I had to slow down push it to side ways and continue driving and later need to remove it completely to continue driving. The piece that goes into the sunvisor itself that holds the visor up is broken. It looks to have come out of its "slot". The metal bracket within visor broke the plastic slot that holds the bracket.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the driver's side visor fell down and blocked her field of vision. The contact stated that the driver's side visor was replaced two years ago because of the same failure. The manufacturer stated that there was no warranty for the visor.

The driver's side sun visor broke. The arm that goes into the sun visor came out of the sun visor. It seems that it broke the plastic inside the visor that holds it in place. This caused the visor to keep falling and not stay in place. It created a hazard so I completely removed the visor. The tab on the bar that allows the visor to snap into place has become very stiff to where it is very difficult to rotate around. The stiffness of the arm seems to be what probably broke the plastic.
The driver side sun visor broke. The visor won't stay up. It flops down and is difficult to see when driving. E.g. The upper half of my visibility is gone. It can't be moved to the side either, as it is broken at the top. After 5 days of driving with the broken sun visor, I almost hit a pedestrian today due to the limited visibility. Toyota dealer charges $160 total to replace it. I take care of my car well. I read complaints on internet that there are many other camry owners have the same issue. It's highly likely that this is a defect. Toyota dealer charges $160 total to replace it.

While driving down the interstate this morning, my driver's side sun visor suddenly flopped down into my line of sight, causing me to almost have an accident. It will not stay up or pushed back out of the way- it falls to the lowest point, directly blocking my view of the top half of the windshield. I tried moving it to the side, but it blocks my vision here. I have not seen the dealer yet, but after searching online forms I see that this is a common problem in toyota's that they are refusing to acknowledge or accept responsibility for. There are over 230 complaints about this problem on this database for just the 2007 camry. From what I've seen, toyota thinks it is no big deal to pay $100-$200 to replace a part that is shoddy built. However, this is a major safety hazard and the defective part should be recalled in all models immediately, regardless of warranty or mileage. It obviously is something they have known about for a long time but they continue to ignore the potential seriousness of this malfunction.
As I put the driver's sun visor up to leave a parking lot, something broke in the mechanism that holds the visor up and it flopped back down. It won't stay up and it won't stay against the windshield -- it just hangs down above the steering wheel, leaving you with about 4-5 inches of visibility out onto the road, even less if you're tall. I feel very lucky that this didn't happen as I was driving over a bump in the road at 40 miles an hour! It's a very unsafe feeling to drive stooped down to see through the opening or with one hand holding the visor up so you can see ahead to what is coming up in front of you. Since this will probably happen to most people after the 3-year warranty runs out and many people won't be able to afford the repair, it's a real safety issue. I think there needs to be a recall, as it appears many people are having this problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the sun visor would not remain upright. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the sun visor was replaced however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 80,000.
The driver's side sun visor is no longer functioning. It hangs down. I am reporting this because I have read many other reports reported within this website of the same issue. I do not understand why when there are so many affected vehicles, a recall is not done. I will probably just pay to get it fixed, not much choice, but this is a safety issue, and toyota should be asked to make this repair for affected customers at no cost to the consumer.
