2008 Toyota Camry visibility complaints
Page 9 of 11: complaints 221 to 250 of 290, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The drivers' side sun visor broke and flops down in drivers face. At first it would stay in the holder but eventually started to flop down at any moment, flopping, creating a safety hazard. Toyota dealership wanted $200.00 parts and labor to repair. I don't have that kind of money to fix a defective part. For safety reasons, I had it removed. The internal mechanism is locked as the only way it would fit in now would be opposite the way it has to be to work. This is a design flaw apparently, the tiny plastic parts cannot withstand the force of the metal parts which results in a failure. This is in a 2008 camry.
My mother owns a 2008 toyota camry ce and the passenger visor flops down and it does not stay up in place. It happened when more than a year ago when the car merely had 30,000. I did my research online and found this is a common issue with toyota's. I called the dealer and they told me that its something I need to pay to get fixed. If it is something that is happening to many toyotas and is dangerous because it obstruct the driver view, toyota should be forced to recall and fixed the issue asap!! It is not right that we have to pay to fix something that is defective from the manufacturer.
In my 2008 toyota camry, both sun visors suddenly broke within a few days of each other and now hang straight down. It blocks the drivers vision, and the only way to drive is with one hand holding up the drivers side visor. This is obviously not very safe and of course one can only hold their arm above their head for so long - so no long trips in this car. The toyota dealer said the car is out of warranty (I bought it new 40 months ago) and charges $130 each to replace them (they can't be repaired). I even have their extended warranty, but the extended warranty company said the visors are excluded, because of the huge number of complaints about them. A quick internet search reveals that a lot of other people have had the same problem.

The sun visor on my 2008 toyota camry does not snap back into place anymore and keeps falling down into my eyes while driving. I have to hold it up with one hand while I drive. Not very safe. I went to the dealer today and they told me it was $160 to replace with labor.
Driver side sun visor fell down while driving down the intersate.
Both sun visors of my 2008 toyota camry broke off about 10 months ago through no fault of my own. The visors first began to hang limply, so I could not properly adjust them to keep out the sun. While trying to adjust them they simply fell off. The drivers side broke first and within 2 months the passenger side also broke. When the first broke I thought it was just some aberration, but after the second I realized there is something in the manufacturing of the visors that is faulty. Both occurred outside of the warranty window. It is now dangerous to drive in early morning and late evening, because of the lack of the visors. I will continue to follow up with toyota for reimbursement, but I felt it was necessary to notify the federal safety agency to see if others have had similar problems. Thank you.

Sun visor breaks at top and falls (still hanging) into viewing area of vehicle making it much harder to see and is very blinding while driving. Plus, once broke, the visor will never stay up again.
