The driver side sun visor broke and will not go back up. This inhibits my ability to drive safely especially in bright and low light situations as well as in general because it obstructs my view. Toyota will not fix it unless I pay $150!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, a smoke odor came from the window control panel. The contact then poured water over the control panel to stop the panel from igniting into flames. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 148,996.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the driver and passenger sun-visors failed. The sun-visors separated from the holder and the driver side sun visor was blocking the contact's view of the roadway while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer replaced the driver side sun-visor. The passenger side sun-visor was not repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.
Purchased the vehicle from authorized dealer in 2011, had 24000 miles at the time. Within one week returned to dealer because car was making noises as turning and at when braking steering column would shake. Dealer changed a tire and rotated and balanced all and sent me home. After about 6 months, steering column is now continuously shaking as brakes are applied. Went back to dealer at 55,000 miles and dealer said this was unrelated to the original shaking problem and diagnosed it as the steering column issue. I have the extended warranty so I will have to pay the $100 dollar deductible. Next, my sun visor just broke on the drivers side, it just fell down and would not go back up as I was driving. It was obstructing my view so I played with it and the thing ripped the cloth and then came right off. Dealer will not cover costs and says it is not covered under the warranty. Obviously a known issue.
I just got in the car and was driving when I smelled something burning. It was at night so I could not see where it was coming from so I pulled over and noticed smoke was coming from the front left driver side door and even through the window switch. I turned around and went back home so I can turn the car off and let the smoke escape the car. It stopped smoking after awhile but now I cant use none of my windows except the driver side. The other switches are stuck they wont move seemed like that what was burning. This definitely needs to be investigated because with a car only 4 years old, this should not be happening. The car has been well maintained. Called toyota and the main power window switch is 350, something that I should not be responsible for.
Sun visor broke obstructing view while driving.. Will not stay up, just hangs blocking view from driving.
The sun visor on the driver's side started to come off. I thought it wasn't a big problem at first until it started to come off and was literary dangling. Although this is a small part in the vehicle, this is a major safety hazard.

Driver side sun visor broke for the second time. It won't stay up, it does not work. Dangerous if sun is in front of you. Second time this happened to me, it's not wear and tear like the dealer said. Hate to spend another $200 if it's going to brake again. It's something wrong with the part, toyota should take care of this, I see a lot of complaints about it.
The sun visor is not holding up in driver side. It keeps falling down and causes loosing visibility.

The drivers side sun visor suddenly swung down in front of my face while driving. Something feels broken along the spine of the visor. It no longer will stay in the upright position and significantly blocks visibility. I have removed the visor completely to avoid the hazard it poses.

I was driving don't remember the date but early part of this year the visor on the driver just drop almost hit the car in front of me. It started like getting hard to snap back in place at first but just drop. The visor on passenger side did the same thing bout two week later took it todealer he told me it was nothing they could do wasn't a recall so I had to pay for it. Needless to say I have no job and no visor. This car was new when I bought it in the last of 2009,with 307 miles. And it nothing can be done I see all these other people with the same problems on this gov.site and nothing been done yet I guess someone got to get hurt or kill first. Why hasn't it been a recall to correct this problem.

Driver side sun visor will no longer stay in the up position. It now hangs down and blocks the drivers view of the road making the vehicle unsafe. This was replaced under warranty in 2009, but the new visor broke in early 2011, after the expiration of the warranty.
The driver's side sun visor has failed twice internally, the replacement cost is ~$150.00 us, non- warranty item. It obstructs the driver's view and the vehicle is not safe to drive until the visor is removed.
The driver side visor would not stay raised and in place and would flop straight down inhibiting your ability to see. We had to remove the visor completely as it was a safety hazard. Dealerships do not recognize this as an issue, and no recall has been announced by toyota. Dealers are charging to fix this problem and it seems to be a massively widespread problem with this model. See the following link for just a few examples: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-343284.html.
I have a 2007 toyota camry le purchased in 2007 and the sunvisor broke while I was driving which almost caused me to get into an accident. It wont stay up and just flops back and forth. I called toyota and they said it would cost 180 to get it fixed. I have done some research and noticed other toyota owners were having the same issue. This is still a new car and should not be having this issue. I also have a 92 honda accord and the visor is still in place. This is ridiculous.

Sun visor has broken three times. This causes the visor to drop and impair visibility while driving. This is a safety hazard and should be a recall item.
The driver side visor broke and fell in my face as I was driving. Blocking my visibility for a few minutes thank goodness I was not driving at a higher speed.
The drivers side sun visor will not stay up. It just hangs down in the way. It was not damaged in any way that I can see. Just normal use. When driving I have to either move it to the side to see. This has caused some visibility problems when it is very bright outside and you are driving into the sun. I had to remove it as it was impeding my vision during driving. Now I have to drive one-handed in order to shield my eyes from the sun. Toyota will not replace as a warrantied item. Very dangerous to drive.
The drivers side sun visor failed to stay in place after owning the car for approximately 5 years. The visor will not stay up or in any locked position and is very distracting, I have had to pin it up to keep it from falling. It seems as if there is no recall on this nor are toyota dealerships replacing them for free. Would be nice if toyota would fix this due to the visibility and distraction this causes while driving. After removing, I noticed that the hinge is very tight which caused the plastic visor to break. I ended up buying a new visor online and install manually. I have loved my toyota and now am very disappointed about this defect.
The driver side visor will not stay up. Car only has approx 43,000 miles and I am already having this problem!!!
