2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID, 58,000 MILES. FAULTY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR. ENTERED VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, NOTICED THAT SUN VISOR WAS HANGING DOWN APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES FROM CEILING "CLOSED POSITION". DROVE TO WORK WITH NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE. APPROXIMATELY NINE HOURS LATER, REENTERED VEHICLE AND SAW THAT SUNVISOR WAS NOW HANGING STRAIGHT DOWN. ATTEMPTED TO PUSH VISOR TO CLOSED POSITION TO NO AVAIL. ATTEMPTED TO POSITION SUNVISOR SO THAT IT WAS NOT BLOCKING MY VISION BUT BECAUSE IT WAS HANGING WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE FRICTION RETENTION (FLAPPING LOOSELY), I ENDED UP HAVING TO HOLD IT OUT OF THE WAY WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING WITH THE OTHER. UPON RETURNING HOME, I UTILIZED A PIECE OF TWINE TO HOLD IT OUT OF MY SIGHT-LINE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT ANY ACTION. UPON DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUNVISORS IN 2007 AND 2008 CAMRYS, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I FOUND IN A VERY SHORT TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE SUNVISOR BLOCKS THE DRIVER'S VISION UNLESS HELD OUT OF THE WAY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH SIDES HAVE FAILED. THE METAL BRACKET INSIDE THE VISOR THAT PROVIDES FRICTION TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WHEN NOT NEEDED IS HELD IN PLACE INSIDE A GLUED PLASTIC FRAMEWORK. THE FRAMEWORK EVENTUALLY SUFFERS FROM FATIGUE AND SEPARATES, CAUSING THE VISOR TO DROP DOWN AND BLOCK THE DRIVER'S VISION. ONCE IT FAILS IT WILL NOT STAY UP AND IS CONSTANTLY CAUSING A VISUAL DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON SEVERAL OF THE TOYOTA MODELS FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED ONMY CAR TWICE, ONCE AT 43,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 57,000 MILES. *TT

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID BROKE LOOSE AND IT'S JUST HANGING THERE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $120.00 TO GET IT REPLACED. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND WHO SAID THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY VISOR REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME AS I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NO LONGER FUNCTION PROPERLY WHICH CAUSES OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE VISORS ARE STILL CONNECTED BUT FOR SOME REASON, DROOP HORRIBLY AND WILL NOT STAY IN THEIR PROPER POSITIONS. ON 8/23/11 AS I WAS DRIVING IN MORNING TRAFFIC, THE VISOR CAME DOWN AND OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE, THE ENTIRE VISOR CAME OFF. *TR

I DRIVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID - BOUGHT THE CAR BASED ON TOYOTA'S REPUTATION OF QUALITY. RECENTLY, I HAD A PROBLEM I HAD NOT EXPECTED TO SEE. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE - THE INTERNAL MECHANISM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND RATHER THAN HAVE IT DANGLE ALL THE TIME (SINCE IT WONT STAND UP) I OPTED TO SIMPLY REMOVE IT. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT A RELATIVELY SIMPLE MECHANISM TURNED OUT TO BE SO UNRELIABLE AND PROBLEMATIC. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 2008 CAMRY HAS BROKEN AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT CAUSED MAJOR IMPAIRMENT TO MY VISION WHILE DRIVING AND WAS VERY DISTRACTING. IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR COMPLETELY FROM THE BRACKET THE HOLDS IT. NOW I HAVE THE OPPOSITE ISSUE OF NOT HAVING A VISOR, WHICH CAN IN ITS OWN WAY CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT. THE COST TO FIX THE VISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS QUOTED TO ME AS $185. *TR
