The dashboard in my 2007 toyota camry is melting and has taken on a very sticky and shiny appearance. Every little thing sticks to the dash and it can't be cleaned. Not only can't it be cleaned, it also creates a large dangerous glare on the windshield while driving in the day.
2007 Toyota Camry visibility complaints

Visor on driver's side keeps falling down and is a hazard when driving. Apparently toyota issued a recall and I was never notified. Toyota has my updated address and I constantly receive notices from toyota but did not receive this one and the deadline for warranty recall has expired.
I did my monthly detail cleaning and my cloth kept sticking to the dash and I had not even put anything on it yet. Now there is a very shinny glare in the windshield and everything I use to wipe sticks and rubs off the texture.

My driver side visor is down and won't stay up and blocking my view. It's annoying to drive with it to my left side. I called and they said my VIN was outside the warranty/recall. So I'm punished because a recall item didn't break when the recall was issued. I think if there's a recall it should be for the life of the car. I should not have to pay for something that was once part of a recall.
Both my sun visors have broke to the point they are becoming a safety issue. They now dangle and will not stay up. Im reading this has become a huge issue for many toyota camry owners. I can understand if there was a lot of wear and tear on them however I know there is not and should not be breaking this quickly.
Driver's side visor does not snap back in place. Droops down and affects vision.
The visor began falling while driving on the highway. I tried to put it back up but it was sagging and eventually popped causing to stay down unless I forcibly push it back up. It is a distraction and now cannot go back up with extreme force (which is causing the lining to come apart).
Dashboard melting. Sticky oozing every part of dash. Glares onto windshield like a mirror and difficult to see out of windshield. Cannot touch it w/o getting sticky.

The sunroof in my daughter's 2007 toyota camry exploded. While she was driving, she heard what she described as a "gun shot sound". After noticing small shards of glass in the seat, she pulled over to the side of the road. After exiting the car, she saw that the sunroof had exploded! Her mother and I left work to meet here and I could tell instantly that it exploded from the inside, out! Luckily, my daughter was ok and able to pull over to the side of the road safely.
My windshield has been defective since last year I contacted the dealer they have been giving me the run around, they keep telling me they are on back order. I have kids when it s hot it's so sticky it really driving my kids crazy and my kids are allergy to it.

Own a 2007 toyota camry which was purchased in 2009. Took into my dealership to have power window master switch recall. Also inquired about my broken driver side visor. Was told that visor was not a recall and only covered as an extended service for 7 years from date of first use; therefore not covered. Visor will fall down while driving, obstructing view and will not stay attached with clip. This problem did not occur until recently but toyota will not replace it, as it is outside the 7 years from date of first use. I called toyota and asked why the visor was not replaced prior to my purchase. They indicated that if it was not showing signs of problems, they did not replace them. This is very dangerous to have a visor "fall" during driving and obstructing your vision.

Melting dashboard causes glare and reduces visibility during daytime driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that when the sun shined through the front windshield onto the dashboard, she was blinded by the glare from the dashboard.

The dashboard of the camry becomes tacky and very shiny due to deteriation from sunlight. This shiny finish causes dangerous glare against the windshield while driving. The tackiness prevents the dashboard from being cleaned properly to prevent reflections as well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the driver and passenger side visors fractured. The contact stated that the driver side visor separated entirely while the passenger side visor failed to remain in the upright position. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 49,900.
I initially began noticing that when the AC does not blow cold air when turned on that all of the gauges on my dashboard stop working including, speedometer dropping to 0 while I am driving so that I do not know at what speed I am driving, my gas gauge inexplicably drops to empty, lights on the dashboard stop working and my dashboard goes dark, RPM gauge flickers wildly, brake & ABS lights do not go off, and occasionally the car stops but with hesitation when braking, along with interior fogging of all windows when it rains (sometimes defroster/fans work to defog windows but sometimes it does not causing my visibility while driving to be substantially and dangerously reduced). During some online research, I believed that the issues might be related to an earlier recall so I called the toyota corporate office and they indicated that it may be related but to take the car to my local toyota dealership to confirm. I took the car to toyota of hollywood and the manager stated that it was not related to the recall and that the main computer was malfunctioning and causing the subcomputers to also malfunction and estimated a repair price of $2500. While I was doing my online research, it appears that many 2007 camrys are having the same exact issues I am having and in addition, the toyota camry hybrids had been recalled for the same issues as well. I do not believe I should incur the expense of repairs for issues that seem to be related to a manufacturers defect.
Rear window shattered for no reason. Can not find or see any place on the window which might have been hit with a stone beebee or paint ball. No obvious point of failure.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that a popping sound emitted from the driver side sun visor area. The contact noticed that the internal connecting bar fractured.

I had to select visibility/wiper because it was the nearest answer to my concern. The driver side sun visor just flops down and won't stay up when not needed.it makes it difficult to see the road when it settles to odd obstructive positions by itself.

Driver side sun visor arm broke and sun visor will not stay in the upward position.
I was driving at a low rate of speed and while driving my visor on my driver side snapped off and landed in my lap. It has to completely be replaced. I have only used this visor a few times as needed for sun glairs.
Dashboard recal as the title aptly suggests, my camry's dashboard has melted due to the extreme heat. My windshield has no tint and I sometimes forget to put up the windshield foil cover when I park. The dashboard now feels very sticky and when I leave the car under the sun for a long stretch, I can actually rub off some of the dashboard's rubber coating surface if I touch it. It also has several scratches due to accidental hits from fingernails and such, and a lot of scratches from the bottom of the windshield foil cover (yes, the dashboard is now that soft). I'm afraid to apply anything on it as this might just make its condition worse. My last option is to use a dashboard cover to hide the scratches and prevent the dashboard from getting damaged further. My concerns with this option are: where do I buy a good/decent-looking dashboard cover for my car? (my dashboard is color black). I'm based in fort buchanan, guaynabo and would this get in the way of the passenger airbag? Any other suggestions aside from my idea above, please do not hesitate to express them. Help desperately needed. Thanks [xxx] [xxx] today I have attempted in contacting you on the number you provided with a negative result. The number rings and immediately goes into a occupied mode.

The driver's side sun visor fell down and had to be removed because it was obstructing my view. I was not driving when this happened and no one was in my vehicle.
I was going to work when the driver side sunvisor flopped down and I had to move it to the side so that I could see. There was never any problem before now. So far the passenger visor stays in an upright position. I will be calling the dealer tomorrow as I have an oil change scheduled for friday.
