Both the sun visor on the driver's side and passenger side have broken. They flop down and won't stay up. The driver side visor hung right in the line of sight of the driver. I had to hold it up with my left hand while driving so that I could see, until I could drive home and remove it. Both visors have been removed, which causes another hazard of sun glare for the driver. Sunglasses alone do not block the sun well enough. I still become blinded by the sun and have to block the sun with my hand. Very hazardous. Dealerships are charging around $175 per visor. At the very minimum, toyota needs to replace the visors at their cost of the visor with free labor.
2007 Toyota Camry visibility complaints

Rear view mirror inside became detached from the windshield. A piece of the windshield came off with the mirror. We are now faced with possibly having to replace the windshield.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the front driver's side sun visor would continually release from its housing and hang down, obstructing the contact's visibility of the roadway. The contact completely removed the sun visor from the vehicle and when needed, he would manually hold the sun visor in place. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that there was a voluntary recall for the failure but the contact's VIN was not included in the recall. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
The area on the front part of the dashboard (next to the windshield) has become sticky and shiny. It is tacky to the touch and easily gouges. It creates a glare for the driver that can impair his ability to drive. We have tried washing the area and it does not improve the condition! It is dangerous and unsightly!
I purchased my camry used in august 2010 and a couple of months after owning the car, the driver side sunvisor had to be removed because it flopped down and would not stay up when put up. In july 2012, the exact same identical thing happened with the passenger side and it's now hanging down and will not go back up and stay. I can feel in the seem that it's broken but cannot fix it. Everyone, including myself that gets in the passenger side hits their heads on it since it's hanging down. It's definitely a safety issue because of blocking the views especially with the driver side...that's why we removed it completely. I contacted toyota customer service sometime ago and all they said was that there was no recall on the items. Ridiculous! I've priced the visors thru the dealership I bought the car and the price was around $100. Toyota needs to replace them, I feel!
Today my window on the passer side started acting up not rolling up or down. I parked went in to the bank when I came out started my car and as soon as I backed up I noticed a burning smell then I seen little smoke from the window panel switch then it got heavy and started to burn. I opened my door and started blowing in the switch and the window crack. I went on line and seen that this has happened with my car make and year.
The driver side power window master switch started to smoke, after starting my vehicle and pressing the switch to roll down my windows. I turned the vehicle off and my car filled with smoke. I immediately called the fire department. Once the fire department arrived my car was no longer smoking. The firefighters could not tell me what caused the smoke but stated it was not safe for me to drive the vehicle. They recommended I have my car towed to the dealership because there was a strong smell of melted electrical wires. I had my car towed to a toyota dealership and they stated my master switch was shorting out and it was not covered under my warranty because my mileage was past 35,000 for electrical problems.
The driver side sun visor was kind of rough, past one year. It won't move or will get jammed. Last week it came apart with metal hook hanging. This is despite the fact that I keep my car like a baby. It's in immaculate condition (just like out of showroom condition) it was extremely freighting as it will keep falling off every few miles. I had to duct tape the whole thing, so as to drive back home. Pls. Urgently instruct toyota to put this into recall before somebody looses his life driving 2007 toyota camry because of poor quality visor.
The internal mechanism that keeps the sun visor up and out of the driver's field of view failed and the visor now hangs in front of the driver's face.
Cpsc# i1290186a. 2007 toyota camry. Consumer stated her sun visor has fallen down and will not lock back in place.
The drivers side sun visor does not stay in "up" position. It will drop down while driving and can be dangerous. I finally had to remove the visor completely from the car, which causes another driving hazard during periods of bright sun light (even with sun glasses on). Several people have reported the same problem on the toyota owners website. Should be recalled. Dealer wants $200 to repair.
My driver's side sun visor has fallen into my view. It is difficult to drive with this defect.
Driver side sun visor flops down and cannot be raised to up position.
On august 24th , 2012, around 4:34pm, I was traveling in my 2007 toyota camry on ridge road in dayton nj. All of a sudden I smell something like burning plastic,seconds later I observed smoke coming from the driver side power-window switch. I managed to pull over safely and as soon as I jumped out of the vehicle, a small flame appeared from the power window switch. While calling 911 for help, I managed to put the fire out with a gallon of tide detergent I have in my trunk before dayton fire department arrived. I am not sure if toyota is aware of this problem and I don't where to lodge my complain. The is currently at dch collision center waiting for the insurance company to inspect.
Driver's side sun visor broke for no apparent reason. Defective part. I used to own a 1997 toyota camry and drove over 200,000 miles and the sun visor was fine. I was searching on the web to find a replacement part but instead found a website that other people have posted having same problem with this defective part. Http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/104-5th-6th-generation-2002-2006-2007-2011/343284-2007-camry-sun-visor-problem-2.html additionally, I received a letter from toyota regarding a recall about the accelerator problem and tried to set up an appointment through an email with courtesy toyota service center and they did not respond to my inquiry nor willing to set up an appointment to cure the recall issue.

The driver and passenger side sun visor just hang down, this is a safety issue. These sun visor are horrible is quality. I can't believe toyota has not recalled this issue.
Driver's sun visor stopped working and became increasingly worse, and toyota wanted an arm and a leg to replace it with another that won't last any longer. When I heard the price to replace a sun visor, I felt like it was a scam to raise revenue. Now, the droopy visor significantly impairs visibility, and toyota supposedly has a recall, but my dealer is refusing to acknowledge that my vehicle is included. Had to call toyota corporate customer care, who acknowledged that my vehicle is included, but they are deferring back to my dealer and who knows when they'll contact me. Meanwhile I have to hunch down to drive in order to see. Trying to limit driving as much as possible. I think this is the fourth recall this vehicle has had. I've never owned a car with so many problems. And the light in the trunk no longer works either.
The sun visor hangs down obstructing the driver's view through the front windshield, naturally, creating a hazard. The item has been replaced twice prior to now (5/9/09 & 6/24/2010) for the same complaint.
Driver side visor replaced last year (2011) due to same issue: visor directly impacted driver's view. Sun visor on passenger side now drooping after shifting position to put sun shade in place. Exact same problem. Droop getting worse; visor does not stay in position and impedes driver's peripheral view.
Sun visor on driver side just dropped while driving, impeding my vision of traffic in front of me. After researching on various online forums I realized that this is a known defect, so I decided to report it.
The driver's side sun visor broke. The arm that goes into the sun visor came out of the sun visor. It seems that it broke the plastic inside the visor that holds it in place. This caused the visor to keep falling and not stay in place. It had a good chance of creating a hazard so I completely removed the visor. The tab on the bar that allows the visor to snap into place has become very stiff to where it is very difficult to rotate around. The stiffness of the arm seems to be what probably broke the plastic.
While driving, the sun visor fell to the down position and remained in that position, which completely blocked the driver's vision of the road and traffic. The visor would not remain in the up position.
On saturday august 11 2012 I was driving about 25 MPH then I smelled smoke, seconds later I saw smoke coming out of the driver side door by the power window switch. I pulled over and disconnected the battery then I took the door apart and observed the actual window switch melted. I disconnected the power window switch and was able to safely drive home safely and are currently waiting for tomorrow monday as the toyota dealer service department is not open on sunday's. Now im not able to open or close the windows but at least I prevented my car from catching on fire.

The visor mirror dropped down and will not stay up. This blocks my visibility by 80% and it will not pass inspection. This is a danger because I cannot see at my full potential.
Driver side sun visor started to drop and will not stay in place. It has broken inside the plastic case. It impairs the drivers vision and I've seen on the web that this is a common problem with 2007 camrys.
First the driver side sun visor started dropping and won't stay up, then about 6 months later the passenger side did the same thing. Dealer says cost is over $200 to replace each one. This is unacceptable. I see in the toyota forums this is a common occurrence. There should be a recall on replacing the visors. It is very unsafe. The visor blocks 33% of your vision. Especially frustrating at night.

Sun visor was fine, and not experiencing any problems. While driving in moderate traffic the sun visor just flopped down obscuring my vision. It would not stay back up. I had to hold it up with one hand and drive with the other until I got home. It is now taped onto my sunroof with duct tape. Not good at all!
