I noticed the dashboard was becoming tacky. I has gotten steadily worse. I has become shiny near the winshield and is advancing towards the front of the dash. The dashboard appears to be melting.

My driver side sun visor will not stay up. It is making it difficult to drive and I am bumping me head on it. It is very irritating.

June 29th my passenger visor dropped and refused to stay up except in a backward position, now it is not holding there either. A week later my driver's side sun visor started to droop. I have contacted my local Toyota dealership after finding a warranty policy bulletin saying it should be covered.however now the dealership is saying my VIN may not match a vehicle with this problem. My vehicle does have this problem, why should the VIN matter, they should fix it. I see this is a very common problem and I should not have to pay over $200 to repair it myself. If they deny this I will not buy a Toyota again. This happened before with Ford/Mercury and I never bought another one. If there is a recall and you are having that exact issue within the fix time it should be done whether "your" VIN matches or not. How are they allowed to be so selective.

The sun visor rotated downward on its own during travel, and will no longer stow in its original fully up position. Please refer to Toyota warranty policy bulletin pol 12-3, this bulletin is for the same problem but does not cover my VIN series of jtn.

The driver side sun visor was loose for several weeks. It would not flip up or stay up at any given time. It would always flop down. The piece had broken so much that the visor sagged if I put it to the left of me. I would have to duck my head down to see if any traffic was coming. I only used the visor if the sun was bright so not being able to adjust it to block the sun caused a lot of trouble because I'd have to duck my head to look below it all the time when driving. I finally had to take the whole thing off.

The sun visor on the driver side of the 2007 Toyota Camry is defective. It flops down and cannot go back to its position of being up. As a result, visibility is affected which can be dangerous. I think there should be a recall for the manufacturer to fix this safety issue.
- Tampa, FL, USA
Was driving and put visor down on driver side and it snapped and had to hold it up while driving. Was very dangerous while driving so researched how to take it completely off until I could afford to replace it. Less than a week later the same thing happened to the passenger side. It really upsets me because I have sensitive eyes and drives towards the sun every morning when it's the worst and is very dangerous not only for me and my children in the car but, also the people I can't see. I'm like most people who live paycheck to paycheck and coming up with over 200 dollars to fix something that should have been built to last in the first place really makes me want to not own a Toyota.
- Albuquerque, NM, USA
Water leaking in the headliner, causing the foot wells to be wet. The drain line from the moon roof "gutter" disconnected from the drain line pan and water drains and accumulates in the foot well. During cold weather conditions there is an extreme condensation built-up on the interior of windows. Use of heater will generate high humidity in the cabin and fogging of the window. The fluid in the cabin along with the heating and cooling at night has created a problem cycle.

The driver's side sun visor will not stay up causing driving visibility issues to the point I had to pull it down. Still have visibility issues without a visor but have less dangerous than with the defective one in place. Numerous forums indicate other 2007 Toyota Camry's with same issue. Should be a Toyota recall item vs. Fleecing consumers the $200 for a dealer to replace. ## VIN failed ##

The dashboard is melting and cracking. The seal or rubber that goes around the windshield glass is coming off while driving on highway over 65 miles.

I own a Toyota Camry 2007 and the dashboard is melting and has created shiny dashboard. I have cleaned with plain water/damp cloth but it is not getting better. I have a friend who also owns Camry 2007 and is facing same problem. I have maintained my car very well and this is surely manufacturing defect. On December 1st this year and I met with an accident because of melting dashboard and shiny dashboard that created glare in my eyes. Thank god, no one was injured. I have also read online that many people who own Toyota Camry 2007 are facing same problem.
