The drivers side visor began flapping down, while I was driving along with my family in the car with me. This unfortunately this was not the first time this had occurred as the driver (myself) attempted to adjust it while operating the vehicle, which nearly caused a collision. The visor no longer would stay put at all and needed to pull over on the side of the freeway to remove the visor in order for the vehicle to be considered safe to drive, and I did not want to put myself and others at risk of going into accident while driving under this unsafe condition. This seems to be a flaw by the manufacturer. I am the only driver of this camry which is in very gently-used condition.

My driver side sun visor will not stay up. It is making it difficult to drive and I am bumping me head on it. It is very irritating.
On march 5 as I was driving home from work on the fdr in ny I started to smell smoke and noticed that a fire was emerging from the compartment in front of the shift control area. I immediately pulled over and jumped out in time before my car was fully inflamed; the entire interior of the vehicle burned down. An inspection of my care revealed that it did not come from the engine (as it is still intact) and I believe it was electrical in nature (as I had an event in 2010 where the power control for the window caught on fire and melted-this caused the windows to not work, which is my reason in reporting the non functioning windows to toyota). I had my car serviced by toyota a week prior to this incident and I just don't understand how something like this could happen and now after the fact (I have contacted toyota myself) there is no review for the safety/potential electrical fires/malfunctions for these cars. Although I escaped physically unharmed, the tragedy of the event is still fresh in my mind and it is my hope that this is something that can be looked into.
I have a 2007 toyota camry and I purchased a extended warranty when I bought the car in 2007 that warranty expired august 1, 2013 a few days after it had expired my driver side visor will not stay up! I do not hang anything on it like cd holder or anything. It is driving me crazy because it makes it very hard to see the road when I am driving and I feel this should be recalled sense there has been multiple complaints for the 2007 camry with this same situation and it is a safety problem for many camry owners. The visor sometimes even hits me in the head when I try to get out of my car. I have had many issues with this car from day one and I am not very happy that this has not been recalled yet. Seems like toyota does not care for the safety of their customers. Also on top of the visor my shock coil broke on the passenger side which the extended warranty did cover sense it happened before august 1st but now the strut is leaking oil on that same side, I brought it to the toyota dealer in june 2013 and they told me they won't replace it because even though it is leaking oil it is not 100% broken yet and told me the warranty wont cover it until it completely blows! I told them I have a young child that I have to think of this safety along with mine and was shocked that even though it is leaking oil (which is not good) cause at any moment while driving it can bust that toyota doesn't recognize it, its not like it will heal on its own so I feel it should have been replaced under my warranty that I paid almost $1000.00 for when I purchased the car! I hope toyota will recall the visor issue for their customers. I am going to contact toyota directly on monday to see if I can get anywhere with this safety issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the sun visors failed to stay in the up position. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 26,000. Updated 09/17/13
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the front driver's side sun visor released downwardly and distorted the vision. The sun visor would only remain in the upward position when secured with velcro. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 85,600.
June 29th my passenger visor dropped and refused to stay up except in a backward position,now it is not holding there either. A week later my driver's side sun visor started to droop. I have contacted my local toyota dealership after finding a warranty policy bulletin saying it should be covered.however now the dealership is saying my VIN may not match a vehicle with this problem. My vehicle does have this problem, why should the VIN matter, they should fix it. I see this is a very common problem and I should not have to pay over $200 to repair it myself. If they deny this I will not buy a toyota again. This happened before with ford/mercury and I never bought another one. If there is a recall and you are having that exact issue within the fix time it should be done whether "your" VIN matches or not. How are they allowed to be so selective.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the driver's side sun visor failed. The sun visor detached from the plastic holder and obstructed the driver's view of the roadway.

There is a issue with the sun visor. I was driving and the sun visor just dropped down in front of my face. I tried to push it back up but it would not stay. I few days later the same thing happen to the other sun visor.
Driver's side sunvisor will not stay up. Removed visor and the entire plastic is broken. Visor is very rarely used and according to internet blogs this is a very common, ridiculous issue for this vehicle.
The driver's side sun visor became loose and broken. It cannot be used because it flops down into the vision of the driver while driving. It had to be removed from the car.
The driver's side sun visor will not stay up. It keeps flopping down and affects visibility.
The sun visor rotated downward on its own during travel, and will no longer stow in its original fully up position. Please refer to toyota warranty policy bulletin pol 12-3, this bulletin is for the same problem but does not cover my VIN series of jtn.
The driver side sun visor was loose for several weeks. It would not flip up or stay up at any given time. It would always flop down. The piece had broken so much that the visor sagged if I put it to the left of me. I would have to duck my head down to see if any traffic was coming. I only used the visor if the sun was bright so not being able to adjust it to block the sun caused a lot of trouble because I'd have to duck my head to look below it all the time when driving. I finally had to take the whole thing off.
The sun visor on the driver side of the 2007 toyota camry is defective. It flops down and cannot go back to its position of being up. As a result, visibility is affected which can be dangerous. I think there should be a recall for the manufacturer to fix this safety issue.
When driving on the no 1 lane (by the carpool lane), an SUV crossed the double yellow lines and rear ended my left side at approximate 40mph. My passengers were shaken up while I was taken to the er. I did noticed that my airbags did not deploy. After the accident I did some searching and came to find out that airbags for this particular model do not deploy!!! Not to mentioned that prior to this finding, I had taken my car back to the dealer for an accelerator issue. Also pending is the sun visor recall as well.
Was driving and put visor down on driver side and it snapped and had to hold it up while driving. Was very dangerous while driving so researched how to take it completely off until I could afford to replace it. Less than a week later the same thing happened to the passenger side. It really upsets me because I have sensitive eyes and drives towards the sun every morning when it's the worst and is very dangerous not only for me and my children in the car but, also the people I can't see. I'm like most people who live paycheck to paycheck and coming up with over 200 dollars to fix something that should have been built to last in the first place really makes me want to not own a toyota.
Water leaking in the headliner, causing the foot wells to be wet. The drain line from the moon roof "gutter" disconnected from the drain line pan and water drains and accumulates in the foot well. During cold weather conditions there is an extreme condensation built-up on the interior of windows. Use of heater will generate high humidity in the cabin and fogging of the window. The fluid in the cabin along with the heating and cooling at night has created a problem cycle.
The driver side window opened or closed slowly and made noise at the beginning. A few days later, the window wouldn't open or close. I called toyota company who said it's not in the recall list and they have nothing to do with it. The manner was very bad and ignorant.

The VIN was unavailable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the front driver's side power window switch overheated and shortened the circuit for the remaining three power windows. There were no flames present. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and repaired under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 12v491000 (visibility:power window devices and controls) however, the remaining damages that resulted from the overheated switch were not repaired. In addition, the accelerator pedal became stuck whenever pressure was applied. The failure of the accelerator pedal was not present prior to the recall repairs. The vehicle was not further repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 156,133.
The driver's side sun visor will not stay up causing driving visibility issues to the point I had to pull it down. Still have visibility issues without a visor but have less dangerous than with the defective one in place. Numerous forums indicate other 2007 toyota camry's with same issue. Should be a toyota recall item vs. Fleecing consumers the $200 for a dealer to replace. *tr ## VIN failed ##

The dashboard is melting and cracking. The seal or rubber that goes around the windshield glass is coming off while driving on highway over 65 miles.
I own a toyota camry 2007 and the dashboard is melting and has created shiny dashboard. I have cleaned with plain water/damp cloth but it is not getting better. I have a friend who also owns camry 2007 and is facing same problem. I have maintained my car very well and this is surely manufacturing defect. On december 1st this year and I met with an accident because of melting dashboard and shiny dashboard that created glare in my eyes. Thank god, no one was injured. I have also read online that many people who own toyota camry 2007 are facing same problem.
2007 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to dissatisfactory repair work on vehicles power window unit and doors. *smd the consumer stated prior to his visit to the dealer, the automatic door locks worked fine on the driver and rear doors. Upon reaching work a few hours later after the recall repair, three of the doors would not lock. The consumer returned to the dealer and an inspection revealed all three actuators were dead. The consumer was informed it would cost$ 1,800 to fix. The dealer stated it was a coincidence that the door locks stopped working after the recall was performed on the power window unit.
2007 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to power window recall notice. *smd the consumer stated after learning about the recall on october 11, 2012, she didn't receive the notice, until november 30, 2012.
The sun visor fell down on me as I was driving on the freeway. This is dangerous and a cause for concern. I contacted both the toyota dealership and toyota customer service, and was informed by both that even though there is an extended warranty for exactly this issue for 2007 camrys, it only applies to american-made cars. Since my car was made in japan, it is not covered, even though the symptoms are exactly the same and I would fall under the same repair program. This is a dangerous issue and toyota should fix it.
