SUNVISOR HAS LOST ALL TENSION AND JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN INTERFERING WITH VISIBILITY ON DRIVER'S SIDE. TOYOTA WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY WHEN I CALLED AND DISCUSSED IT WITH THEM AT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER ALTHOUGH I HAVE READ THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CAMRY 2008. HAD TO REMOVE SUNVISOR. *TR

FIRST THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE AND IT WOULDN'T STAY UP, WHICH CAUSED A LARGE BLIND SPOT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND IT BECAME DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. I TOOK IT INTO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, BOUGHT A NEW VISOR AND FIXED IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR BROKE AND IT IS CAUSING A LARGE BLIND SPOT WHEN I AM LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC ON MY LEFT SIDE. *TR

I FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN CAUSED BY NOTHING. THE VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. INSTEAD IT IS DANGLING, FLOPPING AROUND TO AFFECT VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. IT LOOKS LIKE THE VISOR PART IS OPEN SO THE HINGE CAN NOT WORK AS DESIGNED. I AM NOT SURE IT IS RELATED TO TEXAS HOT SUMMER BUT CERTAINLY THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM REPORTING THIS TO HERE SINCE I BELIEVE IT AFFECTS SAFETY ON THE ROAD. *TR

UNDER NORMAL USE, BOTH SUN VISORS AT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WON'T STAY UP. BOTH VISOR STAYED AT FULLY DOWN POSITION, BLOCKED VISION AND IMPACTED DRIVING VISIBILITY. (DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES). THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OF TOYOTA CAMRY 2008 VISORS. *TR

BACK IN APRIL THE DRIVER SUN VISOR BROKE, WE REMOVED BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE WHEN I WAS DRIVING, AND THEN ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR BROKE ALSO. I CALLED THE 1-800-331-4331 FOR CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT $300. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THE VISORS. *TT

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED WHEN MOVED TO THE DOWN POSITION AND FLOPPED AROUND. HAD TO REPLACE AT A COST OF $150. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT FULLY OPEN. PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED AND NEITHER SIDE WAS MISHANDLED. BOTH BROKE DURING NORMAL USAGE AND OPENING. *JS

THE SUN VISOR FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER BECAME LOOSE AT NO FAULT TO THE CONSUMERS AND IT WON'T STAY UP. WHEN MY CAR WAS IN WARRANTY THE DEALER "FIX" THE PROBLEM BUT IT BROKE AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT BLOCKS MY VIEW BECAUSE THE SUN VISOR KEEPS PROPPING BACK DOWN. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER TO FIX IT AGAIN, THEY WANTED 120 DOLLARS TO FIX EACH SUN VISOR! READING OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS ALL THE MODEL OF CAMRY FROM 2007- 2011 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS...YET NO FIX FROM TOYOTA. TOYOTA QUALITY= DECLINING. IT SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF DEFECTS AND REFUSAL TO COMMIT TO QUALITY CONTROL TO SUN VISOR. REMINDS ME AND OTHERS OF THE "UNINTENTIONAL" ACCELERATION THAT TOYOTA REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LED TO DEATHS AND INJURY UNTIL THE C.E.O OF TOYOTA GOT QUESTIONED BY CONGRESS. ONLY THEN, TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. IN THAT CASE THE ACCELERATION WOULD BECOME "STUCK" CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATES. LAST CAR I WOULD BUY FROM TOYOTA UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FREE OF CHARGES TO ALL CUSTOMERS. HONDA, HYUNDAI, FORD, GM ANYONE? *JS

THE SUN VISOR HAD BEEN FLOPPING DOWN A BIT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF FEW WEEKS, THEN IT JUST QUIT GRIPPING THE SHAFT THAT KEEPS IT IN THE "NON-USE' POSITION -I.E. VISOR HORIZONTAL PARALLEL TO ROOF - SO THAT IT WAS HANGING DOWN PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROOF PLANE, BLOCKING VISION OUT THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS NOT STAYED UP SINCE. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS PROVEN TO ME THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL YEAR (AND 2007 MODEL YEAR) CAMRYS AND THEY DO REPRESENT A DRIVING HAZARD, PARTICULARLY IF AND WHEN THEY FLOP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN HEAVY, URBAN TRAFFIC AND THE LIKE. *JS

CLICKING/KNOCKING NOISE THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. MAY BE THE SAME INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT PROBLEM HAS PLAGUED OTHER TOYOTA MODELS. SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY BY TOYOTA THROUGH A RECALL. *JB

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $200 TO REPAIR. CAR ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD REPAIR FOR FREE. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DEVICE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AND EVENTUALLY FELL OFF. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, NO ROUGHNESS, JUST NORMAL USE. LOOSE ONE DAY AND WOULD NOT HOLD IN PLACE (EITHER UP OR DOWN). FINALLY FELL OFF IN MY LAP. TOYOTA SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, BUT WOULD NOT FIX FOR FREE BECAUSE OF EXPIRED WARRANTY. REPLACEMENT COSTS +$120.00. I FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER CUSTOMERS ON LINE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED FOR CUSTOMERS. WHY WOULD SO MANY FOLKS HAVE THE VISOR SUDDENLY FALL OFF? *JS

SUN VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. OBSTRUCTS FIELD OF VISION. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME A VISOR HAS BROKE ON THIS VEHICLE AND SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. NO UNDUE STRESS WAS PUT ON THE VISOR. DISCUSSED WITH THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT TOYOTA AND THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
