Driver side sun visor broke - will no longer stay in up position so hangs down in front of driver's face, blocking driver visibility.
Both sun visors have broken off of the car. The part of the equipments where the rod fits into the plastic piece on the visor itself has failed. The part broke, hung down in my line of driving vision and would not lock back in place. Both have now broken and I had to remove them to continue to be able to drive safely. I have been able to find used parts for just under 100 dollars or I would have to pay 130-150 for new visors. I know this is a problem with many 2007 toyota camry owners. It should be looked at a serious flaw in the design of these visors.
The driver side sun visor on my 2007 toyota camry le broke. The plastic snapped which doesn't allow for the visor to stay in place and therefore blocks driver's view. When I looked at where the plastic broke, it seems as if the metal hinge that allows the visor to move up and down caused the plastic to snap in half (near the hinge). I have not yet repaired this as I've noticed that many people have had this issue and am hoping it will be recalled. Currently it is being held together with clamps as a temporary solution. I use my visor on a normal basis (morning drive to block the sun, evening drive to block the sun).
Driver side sun visor fails under normal wear. Once visor is broken it hangs down in the drivers view creating a hazard. There is no possible way to fix the visor to original condition once in a broken state. Replaced visor with toyota oem part. Upon inspection of the broken visor, it was determined that the reason the original visor failed was because the tension bar is dependent on a metal clip that it restrained by the weak plastic housing. Replacement visor should have better reinforcement around tension bar. Without destroying the replacement part, it is impossible to determine if a design change has been made to fix this issue.
Toyota camry 2007 visor has a spring inside which appaently braks easily, visor refuses to stay in the upright position, flops down potentially interfering with vison while driving. Cost to repair approx. $120 for part not including labor. I have owned many vehicles, I have never encountered this problem with such a basic item.
Sun visor broke and obstructs my vision. I called the dealer and they want to charge me over $200 to repair it. I have a 2007 toyota camry with approximately 51,000 miles.
The driver's side and passenger's side sun visor will not stay up, causing them to hang in the face of the driver, blocking visibility for both the driver and the passenger and can swing and hit the driver in the face while driving.
2007 toyota camry se at 51,300 miles. The driver's side sun visor made click sound when I try to put it down under normal operation. It lost function of holding itself and does not stay up or down. It is just hanging and blocking the view which is extremely dangerous. It has to be removed and needs to be replaced. I believe this is not wear and tear.

2007 camry driver side visor failed to stay up a couple of months ago and now it seems to be broken completely, obstructing my view.
The driver and passenger sun visors do not stay in place when not in use. The hazard is that when a person enters the car, the sun visor hits his or her head if they are not careful. Also, because the sun visor is lower than most normal sun visors, it blocks the driver's view somewhat. I have a 2007 toyota camry and I've had trouble ever since I bought this car brand new in 2007. To correct this failure, I have tied the sun visor with duct tape, and connected it to the top handle and the eye glass tray (at the top middle of the car cabin). If I have to use the visor for sun, it constantly swings and is a distraction while driving. Therefore, I wear sunglasses for this defect.
I have a 2007 toyota camry and the sun visors have been sagging when in the stowed position for a year or more. Today, the drivers-side visor has decided to fall into my field of vision while driving. I tried to stow the visor, but it will no longer stay put. I had to remove the visor from the roof. As of yet, I have done nothing to repair or replace as it is a sunday. I will contact toyota tomorrow and see what it will cost me. I have read many other similar complaints online and that is what let me to your site.
The driver's side sun visor will not stay up, the driver can become blinded when the visor becomes loose and it cannot be pushed back up to lie flush with the roof. It also cannot be moved to the side.

This has been and ongoing problem for the past two years, but in january the sun visor onthe passenger side completely fell down and blocks my view. I can not get the visor to return to the up position. I have tried to find out how to fix it, but to no avail short of purchasing a new visor and having it installed. I have owned toyotas since 1981 and have never had this problem with any of the other vehicles no matter how old. This one mysteriously failed completely around 55k miles.

In april 2011, the driver's sun visor on my 2007 toyota camry fell down all by itself. It was taped to the roof of the car since getting into the shop was not an option at that time. A few weeks later, the passenger's sun visor fell down all by itself (it too was taped to the roof of the car). The car was taken to the toyota dealership that we have our mechanic work done at and the service person said that we should call toyota's home office. This safety issue was reported to the toyota home office (case # was assigned) but they seemed unconcerned about the issue. I even mentioned to them that checks on the internet revealed numerous people reporting this same issue. This is a big safety concern as visibility problems exist when these visors fall down.

2007 camry; driver's side sun visor falls down into line of sight and will not stay out of the way. This obstructs my view when driving, making it difficult to see. It will not stay up out of the way. Looks like the only way to fix it is to completely replace the part.

I open my sunroof leaving before I pulled out of my garage. I stopped for a red light and made a turn. 5 to 10 seconds after I turned I heard a loud explosion that sounded like a gunshot. I checked my door windows and the appeared fine; I slightly closed my sunroof and saw that the glass was shattered in a million pieces. The gunshot sound was the sunroof exploding in my 2007 toyota camry. My car only has with 68,000 miles on it. Toyotas are made to be driven 300,000 miles. This explosion occurred while my sunroof was in open mode. I took my car to toyota and was told that maybe a rock hit the sunroof. I told them that it wasn't possible since the sunroof was open when the explosion occurred. The explosion caused the glass to shatter. I called my insurance company was told that if it is determined that this explosion was a manufacturer's (toyota) defect that toyota was responsible for replacing the sunroof. I called toyota and was told that if I didn't have an extended warranty that this item would not be covered. The dealer told me that they would replace the roof for $1080. I told them that this item should be working at the mileage that I have and that they needed to replace it. I also told them that I have owned 3 other cars with sunroofs and the mileage was way past my current mileage that I have never seen this type of problem. I called the 800 number and filed a complaint and they told me that they weren't going to pay for this item. I told them to file it as a complaint. I also told them that I was going to file a complaint on toyota.
When attempting to flip-up my visor prior to driving, driver's side sun visor broke. The breakage appears to have occurred inside the visor itself, and not where it attaches to the roof. Because of this issue, the visor hangs down and obstructs my view out the front windshield and makes it extremely dangerous to drive. When flipping it to the side, it continues to hang down and makes it difficult to see the driver-side mirror, and again is difficult to drive.
