2007 toyota camry xle with 32,000 miles: driver's side interior sun visor fails to stay in upright position and locking clip snapped inside visor when attempting to secure. The visor has had problems being loose for months and falls down when going over bumps. The clip would occasionally come undone, causing the visor to swing open. When clicking the visor's lock bar into the roof lock, the bar broke off with minor force applied. Now visor will not stay in place in any position, causing dangerous visibility issue. Auth dealer offered to replace for $185, saying cannot repair. Steep price for similar problem encountered by many many other 2007 camry owners.
After a short while of noticing a strange clicking sound when placing the driver's side visor into an up, locked position, the visor ceased to lock. When this happened, I could feel the broken piece and it created a "bump" underneath the visor material covering. Eventually, it created enough tension on the visor material that the material pulled away from the vanity mirror exposing some of the plastic underneath. The visor will not sit in its upright position or stay forward toward the windshield, but rather hangs directly in the view of the driver. This is very dangerous and significantly impairs the driver's view. Another driver entering my car refused to drive because they didn't feel comfortable with the visibility. Currently, I have the visor taped to the roof; however, this is simply unacceptable for a 4 year old car (2007 camry). Never have I had issue with a sun visor, nor am I "rough" on my car (I drive a lot, but my car is in very good condition inside and outside). I was among the people affected by the oil line leak, having my car break down while driving with my 8-month pregnant sister in the car. (this was prior to the recall.) toyota has become a negligent company and it is the responsibility of the us government and the federal safety agency (among other groups) to protect the consumers from fraud like this. Based on these organizations ratings and evaluations, I bought my 07 camry thinking I was getting a quality, dependable, safe car. Instead, I have had issue after issue with no assistance from the same organizations who claimed toyota's superiority; not even toyota wants to back up its work! I sincerely hope the powers that be make this visor issue a recall and toyota is held accountable for the products it sells. I welcome my local dealer and/or toyota to contact me and resolve this issue.
Sun visor on the passenger side kept falling down causing me to have to pull it up while driving. It became a hazard so I had to take it off. It very expense to replace over 100 dollars.

The driver's side sun visor has suddenly stopped staying in place. It will not lie flush with the roof of the car, nor will it stay pushed against the windshield. It is a visibility hazard. The light is also no longer functioning. This is not due to any unusual use: I pushed it up, it flopped halfway down and now it stays there, blocking my view of the road. As I searched online for repair suggestions, I saw that a great number of camry owners are experiencing the same issue, leading me to believe this is a factory defect.

The driver's side sun visor on my 2007 toyota camry will not stay in place. The inside grips of the sun visor have broken apart or warped and now the visor continues to drop down in front of the windshield blocking full view of the road which could cause a hazard. I accidentally ran a red stop light because the visor dropped down in front of me. There is nothing that will hold the visor in place unless I physically hold it up with my hand until I reach my destination. At first, the sun visor would squeak when opening or closing until one day it just would not close back.

My 2007 toyota camry le's driver side sun visor last week start to droop down and would not stay in the up position causing an obstruction of my driving view. I had to turn the visor to the side but that eventually stopped rotating too. It turns out the metal insert had come out and was no longer providing any traction to the visor. Apparently there have been multiple other complaints regarding the same issue with toyota camry's around that year's model. It was definitely a safety issue and I had to remove the visor manually for my own safety and found that the parts inside were damaged. My suspicion is that it was poorly constructed since my 1998 toyota camry has had no sun visor issues after 13 years of wear and tear. Luckily I noticed problem and did not start driving immediately. I had to use my left arm to hold the sun visor up for my drive back home. This is an extreme safety issue as this can potentially cause significant visibility issues and lead to accidents and deaths. This problem needs to be fixed and recalled by toyota. Thank you for your time.
