The driver side sunvisor is defective in my 2007 toyota camry. I was driving one day and the visor suddenly fell from its up-and-locked position. The first time it fell, I pushed the visor back up into its up position and it managed to stay lock, albeit not as sturdy. Subsequently, the inability of the sunvisor to stay up intensified to the point where the thing would not stay up at all. I currently have the sunvisor tied up so it does not obstruct my view while driving. I am currently looking for a replacement for the visor. However, toyota considers the sunvisor to be a "trim" item and will not replace the visor, even though I am covered under their platinum extended warranty.

The driver's side sun visor dropped down unexpectedly and wouldn't stay up unless supported. Very scary to have the sun visor drop down and block ones vision unexpectedly. This could be dangerous if it occurs at the wrong time. An internet search indicates that this is a common problem. Recall is in order before someone gets really hurt or killed.
2007 toyota camry. Consumer states problems with the steering wheel shaking while driving and the tire pressure sensor staying on. She also states that the sun visor flips down while the vehicle is in motion. *kb the consumer stated after the tire pressure monitoring system was reset. But, it light illuminated again.

I own a 2007 toyota camry that a month ago had two visors fell down all of a sudden the springs that hold them snapped off the same day. I was driving when the driver side visor fell down and is being held up by tape. I went in to toyota and they said sorry it is out of warranty you have to pay $240.00 for two visors. I am furious as I have been reading to many complaints that this should be considered a safety recall as it obstructs the view of the driver. No one is recalling these as a road hazard. It can cause a serious accident or death if fallen while driving and obstructs view like it did me. I had to hold it up with my fingers while driving. This is a class action law suit waiting to happen. If it were maybe 2-6 I can see doing it yourself but hundreds of complaints I see on line and filed my question is why have you waited so long to find toyota at fault for faulty parts? How is it that hundreds of these for the 2007 have broke around the same time frame all out of warranty but enough to cause great concern.... This tells me that this is a manufactures defect and should be recalled and fixed at toyotas expense. I am outraged that you have not made this a recall for those who have filed. We trust in you to protect us why have you not done this for us?
While driving my 2007 toyota camry, the sun visor slipped down into my line of sight. I had to pull over and try to "fold/ snap" it back in place. Then I noticed that the arm piece, that inserts into the actual sun visor was broken/ cracked. I had to drive holding the sun visor out of my vision with one hand and the other hand on the steering wheel. When I went to the toyota dealership to order a replacement part, I was told that I was the third person in two weeks with the same complaint on the same model car. The part could not be ordered from the "distribution place" because the sun visors were on back order. I had to remove my hanging sun visor because it was a risk and I have not had it replaced because of the back order. In addition, I am the only driver of my car and to my knowledge there was no incident in which the sun visor was damaged.
I purchased a 2007 toyota camry from leith toyota in raleigh nc, december of 2006. Last week my driver side sun visor fell while driving and almost caused me to wreck. Within a few days the passenger side visor popped out of place and now it will not stay up. I talked with the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they say that it will cost $200.00 or more to replace both. I went on the internet and to my surprise I found that many more toyota customers are having this same issue. The visor clips are clearly defective part(s) in these visors. Even the technician admitted that they have had to repair hundreds of these. I would like to think that I can count on toyota to fix this problem for me at no charge, but I am getting no where with the dealership. I have been a loyal toyota customer for the past 20 or more years. This is dangerous and could cause a serious accident or even death.
Sun visor on driver's side will not stay in the up position. It hangs down about 1-2 inches from it's original "up" position. After reading on line about toyota not doing anything to correct the situation with other people, I did not take it to my dealer thinking I would be told it was my car and my problem (not necessarily in those terms).
Driver's sunvisor suddenly and without warning fell down hindering my vision while I was driving. I had to push it up immediately to avoid crashing into a car in front of me. I was unable to keep the visor up and had to drive home holding it with one of my hands. I removed the visor for safety and have not replaced it yet. I have researched this issue and have determined there are numerous complaints with the visor coming down and not being able to go back up and stay in place.
Driver side sun visor broke and does not stay up, blocking driver viability and can cause an accident.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the sunroof suddenly fell off of the vehicle.

Passenger sun visor does not stay up. It droops and obscure visibility. I have to either fold it to left window side or hold it while driving.
2007 camry se ~37000 miles. Sun visors have failed to hold in position. This results in the visors not staying up and coming all the way down facing the ground blocking the drivers view (as well as the passenger's view). When looking in blind spots, the driver hits his/her head on the visor. This can be very dangerous as the drivers vision is impaired and unable to view out the windshield. Toyota unwilling to correct the issue even though it is a major safety hazard. I have 6yr/100,000 mile warranty and are only wanting to warrant parts for 36,000 miles. Under warranty or not, it sounds like someone will have to be killed before this is corrected. There are many complaints about the toyota camry visors online.
Driver side sun visor will not stay in the folded up position and obscures forward vision. It was pulled down to hold up an accordion style sunshade in the windshield and would not fold back up. The failure has not been repaired yet.

Driver side visor broken and obstructing view. Visor was removed by owner due to safety reasons. Passenger side visor will not stay extended to windshield.
2007 toyota camry, the driver side sun visor does not stay up in the upright position. It fell down on me when driving a few weeks ago to which I narrowly avoided a serious crash. It is a safety issue and it is defective. A piece of their machinery is blocking my view because it doesn't work properly. We have a premium warranty up to 100k miles on the vehicle (bumper to bumper) and we are at 51k miles currently. We took the vehicle into the dealership to get it repaired to which they claim that the sun visor is a cosmetic issue to which they wont replace it. I have visited the dealership on separate occasions with several phone calls to toyota headquarters to which they appreciate my concern and unless they receive a high volume of complaints about the issue they wont institute a recall. Doing research I have found many of the same issues with other toyotas. They dismiss my claim with cop out replies not taking into consideration the concern for my safety of myself and passengers who ride with me. Please help!!!!! Someone sooner or later will get seriously injured or worse killed because of their safety defect. I do believe that my right to see is not a cosmetic issue and a serious safety violation!!!!!! All I ask for is them to own up to their defects and fix them asap.
My 2007 toyota camry driver side sun visor will not stay in the up position. It was up when I parked the car and down the next time I drove it. I took the car to the toyota dealership to get the recall work completed for the mats and acc. Pedal and requested the service man look at the sun visor. He told me it was not covered under my extended warranty and I would have to purchase the parts myself. He also did not remove the visor which is a safety hazard as I cannot see to drive except by holding up the visor. I had to remove the visor myself to safely drive my car.
2007 camry le, drivers side sunvisor will not hold in upright locked position and subsequently falls into view while driving. Removed due to repeated hazard of obstructing view.
Driver's sun visor will not stay in upright position which obstructs the driver's view.
Driver's side visor will not stay up in the raised position or all the way back towards window in lowered position. Continues to fall into the lower most position, blocking view through front window. This occurred while driving and I needed to use one hand to keep it raised out of my line of vision. Will be contacting dealer/regional service in an attempt to have them repair the problem since it is listed by other owners on the federal safety agency site as a defect complaint.
My 2007 toyota camry driver side visor got loosen and obstructed my view while driving. I could not lift it up to its normal position. I was driving on highway around 60 MPH and the visor suddenly obstructed my view. I almost hit the car infront of me. The dealer (woburn toyota, ma) refused to change the visor and told me it is not covered. I did constant maintenance of the car at the dealer. I hope toyota steps up and recall the visors ad this is a safety concern and some one might not be lucky like me and be involved in a serious accident due to visor obstructing the view while driving. This is a safety concern, what does the mileage have to do with defective sun visors? We are not talking about a broken radio, but rather something that could potential pose a risk of harm to me and my passengers should the situation not be resolved.

2007 toyota camry le with distortion in the windshield. *dt the consumer informed the dealer of the distorted windshield and they stated they would replace it. When the consumer returned to pick up his vehicle he noticed the same distortion. The representative from the dealer showed the consumer another camry with the same defect.

2007 toyota camry with dangerous windshield design. *kb the consumer stated the dashboard badly reflects in the windshield distracting her vision.
I just have to put this complaint in because toyota blew me off and made me pay $186.00 to repair the sun visor on the drivers side that just started falling on me one day when I was driving long distance. I told them that there is no way that a 2007 sun visor on any car should be falling down and hitting the diver they told me it didn't matter that the car is out of warranty and to fix this danger I had to pay. I couldn't drive around with my visor falling down in my face as I was trying to drive so I paid the money but I let them know that this was a safety hazard and that it should not be happening to a 2007 camry. I have purchased toyota's since 1982 and after the way I was treated I will not be back to buy a toyota. Mark my word though the next problem you will hear about are the visors falling down in the face of the drivers. Please check into this before somebody is hurt when it happens to them.
