I recently purchased a 2008 toyota camry le with approximately 40,000 miles. The driver's side sun visor is floppy and does not stay up in the "locked" position. When I drive over a bump, the visor flops down further. I am constantly having to push it up when it dangles too low and obstructs my vision. Furthermore, if I get into an accident I could smash my forehead on the visor. I've researched finding a new visor online, only to find numerous complaints on the 2007 and 2008 models. I believe a recall is in order.
I owned 2008 toyota camry xle model, the driver side sunvisor keep falls down from the ceiling attachment. I read a toyota consumer forum online that I surprised about many of toyota owners have a same problem.
Driver and passenger side visor have both broken and will not stay up. The driver's side visor frequently drops down obstructing the driver's view of the road, sometimes completely for taller drivers. The passenger side also drops down and can partially obstruct the driver's peripheral view.

The sun visors in 2008 toyota camry break after 2 or 3 years. No offers to repair from toyota, outside warranty window. Very expensive to repair.
Passenger side sun visor started malfunctioning and would not stay up in a locked position. Passenger side visor hangs down and obstructs vision. A few days later the driver side sun visor would not stay up in a locked position and is also hanging down and obstructing vision. Have to velcro both visors to the interior roof to keep them out of my way.
The driver side sun visor is dropping down on my 2008 toyota camry. Both the clips are fine but it just quit staying in place. It happened around 40000 mile or after 3 and 1/4th year of ownership. I haven't used the visor heavily; my regular commute is opposite of sun position.

The equipment in question (defected sun visor) is in a 2008 toyota camry. The driver's side sun visor will not stay closed (in the upright position) since may 1, 2011. It hangs down & obstructs the driver's vision which poses a hazard for him/her as well as fellow drivers.
My 2008 toyota camry driver side sun visor broke in august 2009. They replaced it as it was within warranty. The passenger side sun visor broke in april 2011. They will not replace it as it is out of warranty, although I had been told it would be replaced as I suspected it too would break. The visor hangs down and impairs vision. I googled "toyota camry sun visor" and saw many similar complaints. Many of them said when they contacted toyota, toyota said they did not have enough complaints to initiate a recall. They are giving us all the run around. I appreciate the federal safety agency looking into this for us as they are clearly making their cars with cheap items that break and impair vision, then leaving us to pay for it.

The sun visors (both driver and passenger sides) on my toyota camry will not stay up creating a visual hazard. From looking online this is apparently a widespread problem with these vehicles.
Broken sunvisor in 2008 toyota camry......obstructs view when it constantly dangles, especially on passenger side. The drivers side has already been replaced....now the passenger side is broken only 2 months out of warranty. I have already filed a complaint with toyota, but no word as of yet. This car has already had 3 major recalls, with my car being directly affected with 2 of them.

Driver's side sun visor started having difficulty in maintaining the up position, finally failed and would only hang down straight toward the ground obstructing your view. Upon stopping, I removed the visor out of fear that it would cause an accident. Have contacted the local dealership, and have been advised it will be under warranty if there is no sign of abuse.
My 2008 camry was purchased new and after approximately 50,000 miles my drivers side visor began drooping then finally now it will not stay up and is in my line of sight. I have to hold it up as I drive or swing it around to the drivers door so that I can see to drive. I have reported this to the manufacturer as well as my dealership and they are not willing to do anything about it.

Sun visors are defected. Easily broken when placed into use. Could lead to an accident when the visor will not return to up position. They block the view and unable to return them back to up position.
Toyota camry sun visor hinge broken. Visor just hangs in face.
Sun visor failure in 2008 on a 2008 toyota camry. Less than six months or 10000 miles of vehicle usage. Contact dealer about failure but could not do anything about it. Called dealership 2 years later and will fix it if vehicle has less than 36000 miles. Delayed tactic makes dealership the winner in this situation. Have been without sun visor since. A tsb on alldata helped me uninstall sunvisor and still have it in my possession. Weak plastic material causes the failure on this item.
Driver side head visor goes down all the time it came out defective and its always on my way and almost crash couple of times.

Drivers side sun visor won't stay in the up position. It will fall down blocking your view of the road without any warning. This is going to cause an accident.
My 2008 toyota camry sun visors have both fallen down causing a safety issue. I called toyota but since my I have 40k miles they will not fix it under warranty. Both sun visors fell down at the same time due to no previous impact or stress caused by anyone. Just a faulty product. I did some research on the intranet and this is a common issue with other toyota models. I have called toyota customer service center and entered an official complaint. Can your organization assist with this issue? The total out of pocket cost from toyota is $350. This is causing me poor visibility and can lead to car accident. Tried velcro to fix but it did not hold up.
2008 le toyota camry w/ 46,361 miles, outside of mfg warranty (3yrs or 36k miles). Jorge at autopark says the toyota extra care platinum extended warranty classifies this part as cosmetic and will not be covered. Advised me to use velcro to keep it up. No events leading up to the failure of driver side sun visor. Driver side sun visor keeps falling down, will not stay up, obstructs my driving. Restricts the driver's view of the road. I have to hold the visor in my left hand and drive with my right hand. This is very inconvenient, hazardous, and dangerous. If I detach the right side of the visor from the clip and move it to the left, I can't see oncoming traffic when I attempt to make a left hand turn unless I re-attach the visor to the clip. This distracts me from focusing on the road. Replacement part cost $105, labor cost $25.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry. While driving at approximately 60 MPH, the driver's side sun visor flipped downwards and would not remain in the closed position. The failure would occur intermittently. The dealer advised there was not a recall for the failure and any repairs would be at the contact's expense. In addition, the parts needed to make the repairs were on back order and the dealer could not give an estimated time of when they would become available. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileages were 40,000.
2008 toyota camry se sun visor will not stay up. Vanity mirror light, does not function as well. This is a safety issue that has resulted in close calls in the past few days on my way to and from work. Toyota has acknowledged there is an issue and has issued a service bulletin. Toyota limits this to 3 yrs/ 36000 miles and will not fix my vehicle. This is a safety issue and should not have any restrictions. This includes a number of vehicles; perhaps toyota is waiting for fatal accidents before they issue a safety recall.
Driver's side sun visor failed to retain upright position and will not secure in upright position thus causing limited vision and distraction while driving. I have to hold visor upright and this creates a hazardous driving situation.
