My sun visor won't stay up. It is a safety hazard and is difficult to see while driving and hanging down in my face. This is the second sun visor that I have had to replace, at my expense $130!! I am really upset that toyota expects us to replace these, when it is obviously a manufacturer defect and is affecting this many people. I am a toyota camry die hard. Please do something. If something is not done, I will not ever buy another toyota.
The driver side sun visor wont go up all the way or extend back. It hangs down part way, so if I happen to be in an accident, I'm afraid it will severly hurt my forehead. If I put it down straight, so it wont hurt me, then my field of vision is impaired. All in all, not very safe. I've read on line that 2007 and 2008 camry's are having this problem and I'm not alone.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH the driver side sun visor became partially detached, blocking the view of the driver.

The driver side visor is defective in my opinion which is preventing me to properly see the road. This part cannot rest on the roof but rather it droops down in a slanted angel. The rear doom light is falling apart exposing wirings in the passenger compartment.
My 2007 camry door on fires when I drove on the street. Last evening (5-28-12)around 4:30pm. A lot smoke coming out from the driver side door and my power window master switch on the door burn out and broken immediately. I was so scary, then I parked my car on the streetside and I called puente hills toyota for help (because I bought the car from them,) I spoke to manager[xxx] regarding the incident but they said they can do nothing, the service dept was closed due to the holiday and they never heard about 2007 toyota camry door fires but I told them about complaints filed on the federal safety agency according to la times and many other media . Toyota has responsibility to take care of my car without any charges due to the defect. My power window switch was damaged. It might cause my body injury and other damages..etc any time if toyota don't take an action asap. Especially I have minor child in the car too (I drove my son to the school everyday.) information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The drivers side visor repeatedly dropped in the extreme down position, blocking my ability to see for driving. It would not stay in any upright position and hung loosely. Out of frustration for my safety and ability to drive, I had to pull it off the flimsy metal holder until I could get to the dealer. Toyota northridge did repair at no cost, although I do have an extended warranty.
The driver side visor failed on me when I put it down. This seems to be a common issue with the sun visors. This issue can be a potential hazard as it obstructs my view during normal operation of the vehicle. I have to move the visor to the side in order to have a full view ahead. If the visor is left in front of me then it is hard to see traffic and traffic lights in front of me and can potentially cause an accident. Toyota should replace this part as it can be a potential hazard.
The driver side sun visor will not stay in the "up" or stowed position it hangs down, about halfway. I really believe this is clearly a safety issue because it has blocked part of my sight. Toyota dealerships want over $200 to fix it. They refuse to fix it free of charge unless there have been more complaints. This is also not included in any of their warranty products.

Driver's side sun visor started to fall apart around march 2011, it became safety issue as it failed to stay in stowed position and was only matter of time before it fell off altogether. Went to dealer to buy replacement at cost of $121.85. Now passenger side visor is doing the same thing and will have to be replaced soon. Also rear lap seat belt is unserviceable due to locked-in retracted position.
Concerning the driver's side interior sun visor; the plastic housing of the visor separated from metal arm that attaches to the roof of the vehicle (the plastic casing cracked). The visor was dangling from the metal attachment and obstructing my view, hitting my forehead as I would brake or accelerate. Had to pull it off completely to avoid visibility obstruction, distraction from driving, and being stricken on my forehead!
Driver's side visor has broken and is hanging in the line of vision. This is causing an obstruction of view for the driver whether in the forward facing position or rotated to the left side where it blocks the driver's vision to the left. The visor was not being mishandled when it broke. This is a safety issue as the driver cannot see properly and causes problems when driving and trying to deal with the visor in order to improve visibility of the road. It is my understanding this is a common problem in the 2007 camry yet toyota has not issued a recall for the visors. This could potentially cause an accident.
The driver's sun visor has dropped on both of our 2007 camry's that we own. One is so bad that we removed it because you can't see with it down. However, if you are driving east or west you are blinded by the sun. The other car is just as bad because the visor won't stay up. This too is a problem for driver safety and for the safety of others!!! This isn't a coincidence that out of all camry's sold that we got the two where the visors failed. There needs to be a recall!! Why should the owner be held to paying for this expense when it is a factory defect?

The sun visor started flopping down when I was driving. It would not stay up. I used a straight pin to help hold it up out of way so that I could drive, but needed it when facing the sun to block out the sun's rays.

The drivers side sun visor no longer stays in the up ourt of the way position. The visor now flops down and does not stay up causing a empairment of your vision. If pushed to the side window it is still down blocking my side vision. This is a very common compaint from many toyota camry owners.
