2007 Toyota Camry SE at 51,300 miles. The driver's side sun visor made click sound when I try to put it down under normal operation. It lost function of holding itself and does not stay up or down. It is just hanging and blocking the view which is extremely dangerous. It has to be removed and needs to be replaced. I believe this is not wear and tear.

The driver and passenger sun visors do not stay in place when not in use. The hazard is that when a person enters the car, the sun visor hits his or her head if they are not careful. Also, because the sun visor is lower than most normal sun visors, it blocks the driver's view somewhat. I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and I've had trouble ever since I bought this car brand new in 2007. To correct this failure, I have tied the sun visor with duct tape, and connected it to the top handle and the eye glass tray (at the top middle of the car cabin). If I have to use the visor for sun, it constantly swings and is a distraction while driving. Therefore, I wear sunglasses for this defect.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and the sun visors have been sagging when in the stowed position for a year or more. Today, the drivers-side visor has decided to fall into my field of vision while driving. I tried to stow the visor, but it will no longer stay put. I had to remove the visor from the roof. As of yet, I have done nothing to repair or replace as it is a Sunday. I will contact Toyota tomorrow and see what it will cost me. I have read many other similar complaints online and that is what let me to your site.

This has been and ongoing problem for the past two years, but in January the sun visor onthe passenger side completely fell down and blocks my view. I can not get the visor to return to the up position. I have tried to find out how to fix it, but to no avail short of purchasing a new visor and having it installed. I have owned Toyota since 1981 and have never had this problem with any of the other vehicles no matter how old. This one mysteriously failed completely around 55K miles.

Camry 4-cyl

  • 99,000 miles
In April 2011, the driver's sun visor on my 2007 Toyota Camry fell down all by itself. It was taped to the roof of the car since getting into the shop was not an option at that time. A few weeks later, the passenger's sun visor fell down all by itself (it too was taped to the roof of the car). The car was taken to the Toyota dealership that we have our mechanic work done at and the service person said that we should call Toyota's home office. This safety issue was reported to the Toyota home office (case # was assigned) but they seemed unconcerned about the issue. I even mentioned to them that checks on the internet revealed numerous people reporting this same issue. This is a big safety concern as visibility problems exist when these visors fall down.
