MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE IT. IT WAS ABOUT $160 TO GET THE PART AND INSTALLED. I BOUGHT IT ON EBAY FOR UNDER $100 AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. IT WASN'T DIFFICULT AND TOOK UNDER 5 MINUTES TO DO. NOW, THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE IN THE SAME SPOT THE OTHER VISOR DID. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I HAD MY LAST CAR FOR 10 YEARS AND THE VISORS NEVER BROKE AND MY HUSBAND HAS A TOYOTA FROM 2007 AND IT HASN'T BROKEN. THIS IS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. *TR

WHILE ADJUSTING THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR THE VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP IN EITHER POSITION. IT JUST DANGLED DOWN AND SEVERELY RESTRICTED THE DRIVER'S VISION. THERE WAS NO WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE VISOR TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP, AND REPAIR NECESSITATED REPLACING THE ENTIRE VISOR AT A COST OF $140. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS AND THE REPAIR COST COULD DETER PEOPLE FROM REPLACING THE VISOR, RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS VISIBILITY IS VERY POOR WITH THE VISOR DANGLING DOWN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DECIDE TO QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY COVER MY VISIBILITY. I HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE ON THE ROAD AND TRY SEVERAL TIME TO PUT IT BACK. FINALLY I FRUSTRATED REMOVE AND PUT IT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. TOYOTA SHOULD DO BETTER JOB ON THAT BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO BE INVOLVE INTO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE CLIP IN MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, CREATING A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THE VISOR WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP BECAUSE A DEFECTIVE CLIP BY THE HINGE FAILED. TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VISOR AT NO COST, EVEN FOR VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THOSE MODELS. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNVISOR 6 MONTHS AGO, NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR. THEY DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY BACK UP. IT IS CAUSING VISION IMPAIRMENT WHILE DRIVING. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO REMOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR IN ORDER TO SEE WHILE I AM DRIVING. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD INVESTIGATE THE COMPLAINTS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JS

AT 48000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR STARTED FREE ROTATION (UP AND DOWN) AND FREE SWING (SIDE TO SIDE). HAD TO REMOVE VISOR . AT 56600 MILE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAD SAME PROBLEM. VISOR DID NOT STAY IN UP POSITION PLUS IT STARTED MOVING SIDE TO SIDE. HAD TO REMOVE VISOR AT 56600 MILES TO PREVENT ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WIDE SPREAD WITH THE 2008 CAMRY. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT'S BLOCKING MY VIEW AND WHEN I GOOGLED I SEE TONS OF TOYOTA DRIVERS SINCE 2007 COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. FROM WHAT I'M READING IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PASSENGER ONE GOES AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DRIVER ACTUALLY NEEDS TO SEE THE ROAD AND THIS BREAKING IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
