Purchased the vehicle from authorized dealer in 2011, had 24000 miles at the time. Within one week returned to dealer because car was making noises as turning and at when braking steering column would shake. Dealer changed a tire and rotated and balanced all and sent me home. After about 6 months, steering column is now continuously shaking as brakes are applied. Went back to dealer at 55,000 miles and dealer said this was unrelated to the original shaking problem and diagnosed it as the steering column issue. I have the extended warranty so I will have to pay the $100 dollar deductible. Next, my sun visor just broke on the drivers side, it just fell down and would not go back up as I was driving. It was obstructing my view so I played with it and the thing ripped the cloth and then came right off. Dealer will not cover costs and says it is not covered under the warranty. Obviously a known issue.

Sun visor broke obstructing view while driving.. will not stay up, just hangs blocking view from driving.
- Austin, TX, USA
The sun visor on the driver's side started to come off. I thought it wasn't a big problem at first until it started to come off and was literary dangling. Although this is a small part in the vehicle, this is a major safety hazard.

Driver side sun visor broke for the second time. It won't stay up, it does not work. Dangerous if sun is in front of you. Second time this happened to me, it's not wear and tear like the dealer said. Hate to spend another $200 if it's going to brake again. It's something wrong with the part, Toyota should take care of this, I see a lot of complaints about it.

The drivers side sun visor suddenly swung down in front of my face while driving. Something feels broken along the spine of the visor. It no longer will stay in the upright position and significantly blocks visibility. I have removed the visor completely to avoid the hazard it poses.

I was driving don't remember the date but early part of this year the visor on the driver just drop almost hit the car in front of me. It started like getting hard to snap back in place at first but just drop. The visor on passenger side did the same thing bout two week later took it todealer he told me it was nothing they could do wasn't a recall so I had to pay for it. Needless to say I have no job and no visor. This car was new when I bought it in the last of 2009, with 307 miles. And it nothing can be done I see all these other people with the same problems on this gov.site and nothing been done yet I guess someone got to get hurt or kill first. Why hasn't it been a recall to correct this problem.

- Allen, TX, USA
Driver side sun visor will no longer stay in the up position. It now hangs down and blocks the drivers view of the road making the vehicle unsafe. This was replaced under warranty in 2009, but the new visor broke in early 2011, after the expiration of the warranty.
- Windermere, FL, USA
The driver's side sun visor has failed twice internally, the replacement cost is ~$150 us, non- warranty item. It obstructs the driver's view and the vehicle is not safe to drive until the visor is removed.
- Mandeville, LA, USA
The driver side visor would not stay raised and in place and would flop straight down inhibiting your ability to see. We had to remove the visor completely as it was a safety hazard. Dealerships do not recognize this as an issue, and no recall has been announced by Toyota. Dealers are charging to fix this problem and it seems to be a massively widespread problem with this model. See the following link for just a few examples: www.toyotanation.com/forum/archive/index.php/T-343284.html.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry le purchased in 2007 and the sunvisor broke while I was driving which almost caused me to get into an accident. It wont stay up and just flops back and forth. I called Toyota and they said it would cost 180 to get it fixed. I have done some research and noticed other Toyota owners were having the same issue. This is still a new car and should not be having this issue. I also have a 92 Honda Accord and the visor is still in place. This is ridiculous.

Sun visor has broken three times. This causes the visor to drop and impair visibility while driving. This is a safety hazard and should be a recall item.
