2007 Camry SE; both sunvisors have failed which means they are falling out of their anchors, which are held in place by plastic connectors. This results in the visors blocking the drivers view (as well as the passenger's view), which impair a clear view of the oncoming traffic. Toyota dealership in victorville, California has inspected the visors; they report that this is a common repair however, after contacting the regional service advisor for Toyota, they refuse to accept responsibility for product defect, and advised that the customer simply pay for the repair. The dealer offered to fix at cost for the sum of $100, per visor, plus labor for a total of $300.

Driver side sun visor on 2007 Toyota Camry will not stay up. I took it off so I will not have an obstructed view of the road. But now I need some sunglasses.
- San Antonio, TX, USA
On 24 Sept 2009 my passenger side sun visor fell off, the mounting is completely free of the roof, on 25 September 2009 the driver side sun visor (although still attached to the roof) is sagging and inhibiting my line of vision. I attempted to hold the driver side sun visor up by a rubber band attached to the handle above the door. This failed on 26 September 2009 causing the sun visor to impair my vision and I narrowly avoided a collision with another vehicle. I have contacted Toyota, was told that my VIN number is associated with a tech safety bulletin (T-sb-0284-09) however since my vehicle is out of warranty the company will not replace the defective components.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry that was purchased new from a Toyota dealer. After only 2 years, the sun visor will not stay up. This is a serious distraction and dangerous while driving. I did not expect this lack of quality from Toyota and was also surprised that they charge me to replace it.

2007 Camry, sunvisor will not stay up.
- Orlando, FL, USA
Driver side sun visor will not stay up. Flops down unexpectedly and obstructs driver's vision of the roadway, overhead road intersection traffic lights, vehicle being followed, pedestrians in the vicinity, etc. Condition started on the "approximate incident date" and continues intermittently while vehicle is in motion. Brought to dealer and complained that condition is a safety issue and possibly a design defect but repair/replacement charge was astronomical. Requested dealer to remove sun visor instead. Broken part is with owner.

The sun visor on my 2007 Camry will not stay up. It is on the driver side, so it actually is a hazard in that it blocks my view while driving.
