Driver side sun visor broke and will not stay in position. It keeps falling. We tried fixing it ourselves. Can't really afford to buy a new one. But the fix never really held and the visor still won't stay in any position. It really is a driving hazard. Never knew that there was a recall until my husband was searching on the internet for a solution for our problem. Our VIN does not fall into the category of the covered visors. Never has a car with a sun visor problem. Now there is a recall but mine is not covered. Yeah right! They just don't want to poke out the money. I have had Toyotas for the past 28 years. This is the worst problem I have had. Why not cover it. If these manufacturers used quality material and people did their jobs properly then they wouldn't have to spend do much in law suits and recalls. Frustrated frustrated frustrated. Fed up with humanity.

FIrst the passenger side stopped staying up. Didnt bother me by my annoyed any passenger I had. Had it replaced at a body shop for about $200. Then the drives side started flipping down while I was driving. Found it dangerous enough to rip the damn thing off. Bought a replacement from ebay for about $100 and installed it myself. Really, really annoying.

I pulled it out of my roof. Couldn't take it anymore. Still don't have one. Thank god for sunglasses.

I drive East towards the sunrise and West towards the sunset 4 to 5 days a week. I need my visor to work. Now when I stop at traffic lights, I have to hold it up to see when the light turns. It also limits my distance visibility since it just hangs down now rather than being able to be up next to the windshield. There is a self-fix on You Tube. Not sure if it will also fix the mirror light too.

I bought my 2011 Toyota Camry XLE new in July 2010. The dealership (I thought) has been wonderful because I get free oil change and State inspection for free BUT now I have found out after 5 years of having NO NOTIFICATION WHATSOEVER that there have been over 8 recalls on my car I was NEVER been notified of!! I get constant mail from them wanting to buy my used Camry, time for oil change etc.
I had not had any problems until about 2 weeks ago when suddenly both of my sun-visors just dropped and would go in the up position. This really gets in my way when driving and I almost had a wreck yesterday because I couldn't see.
I decided to go online tonight to look up sun-visors since the dealership was closed and I could not talk to them until tomorrow and found all this information about recalls on the sun-visors and numerous complaints.
I have wondered for over a year if my car had the Takata airbags but told myself (Not to worry - they would notify me if mine was one of the ones recalled) BUT NOOOOOOO no notification and now I find out it is one of the ones that need recalled.
Maybe I should just be mad at Toyota and not the dealership but every other car I have owned I got recalls from the Dealership.
I am spitting mad!!!!

The sun visor on driver side will not stay up at all! I researched the issue online and found out that a number of people were experiencing the same issue. One of the websites mentioned a possible extended warranty for certain vehicles. So, I called the service department at my dealership to inquire about this. I was told by the service advisor that my vehicle was not covered because it was too new?! WTF?! Shouldn't it be covered because it's too new to be drooping? Where's the logic? And now, I'm wondering when the passenger side sun visor will start acting up. I have owned a used 1995 Toyota Avalon that had fewer problems than my current car and that's ridiculous! My only given recourse from the dealership was to call the 1-800 Toyota customer service and complain. I bought my Toyota based off of its tradition of quality and customer-driven service. I might have to rethink my future car purchases.

This is the second Camry I have owned that has given me this issue. The first was my 2007 Camry. There was finally a recall made on the sun visor so I was replaced. I am waiting for another recall but I am about to rip the damn thing off. It will not stay in place and blocks my vision.
