My car is 2008 Toyota Camry le 4 cylinder. When I drive this car, the sunvisor not so good condition, loose and difficult fix it. Finally it was broken when I return it normal place. It's could not fit anymore. It was very dangerous situation at that time because I couldn't see due to sunvisor drop.

Both sun visors gave way in my fairly new Camry only after 3-4 years of use. I keep my Toyota 6 years usually and never had this issue. Visor has always sounded like it was going to break ever since I owned it. Cheap part.

While driving the drivers side visor would not stay up and would not stay in the folded down position. It was hanging freely blocking a clear view while driving. I was able to get to my destination with the help of my wife holding the visor in the up position. I discovered that my only options for fixing this problem were to spend a good sum of money to have the dealer replace it or to just take it off. I opted to remove the visor. I feel this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed by Toyota. In doing research I have found numerous complaints from all models of Toyota that address this same issue.

First the sun visor on the drivers side broke and it wouldn't stay up, which caused a large blind spot right in front of me and it became dangerous to drive my car. I took it into a Toyota dealership, bought a new visor and fixed it. A few weeks later the passenger sun visor broke and it is causing a large blind spot when I am looking for traffic on my left side.

Driver side sun visor failed when moved to the down position and flopped around. Had to replace at a cost of $150. It has been 2 years and now the passenger side visor has failed and will not fully open. Passenger side is rarely used and neither side was mishandled. Both broke during normal usage and opening.

The sun visor had been flopping down a bit for the last couple of few weeks, then it just quit gripping the shaft that keeps it in the "non-use' position -I.e. visor horizontal parallel to roof - so that it was hanging down perpendicular to the roof plane, blocking vision out the front of the car. It has not stayed up since. Research online has proven to me that this is a widespread problem with these model year (and 2007 model year) Camry and they do represent a driving hazard, particularly if and when they flop down unexpectedly while in heavy, urban traffic and the like.

The sun visor for the driver and passenger became loose at no fault to the consumers and it won't stay up. When my car was in warranty the dealer "fix" the problem but it broke again. This is extremely dangerous as it blocks my view because the sun visor keeps propping back down. When I ask the dealer to fix it again, they wanted 120 dollars to fix each sun visor! reading other people complaints, it seems all the model of Camry from 2007- 2011 have the same problems...yet no fix from Toyota. Toyota quality= declining. It seems like Toyota and the dealership is making money off of defects and refusal to commit to quality control to sun visor. Reminds me and others of the "unintentional" acceleration that Toyota refused to acknowledges that led to deaths and injury until the C.E.O of Toyota got questioned by congress. Only then, Toyota acknowledges the problem. In that case the acceleration would become "stuck" causing the car to accelerates. Last car I would buy from Toyota until the problem is fixed free of charges to all customers. Honda, Hyundai, Ford, GM anyone?

Driver side sun visor will not stay up. Dealership wants over $200 to repair. Car only has 36,000 miles on it. It is a safety issue and Toyota should repair for free. There is a defect in the device.

Sun visor broke and would not stay up. Obstructs field of vision. This is the third time a visor has broke on this vehicle and searching online I have found that this is a common complaint with this year and model of vehicle. No undue stress was put on the visor. Discussed with the parts department at Toyota and they admitted that it was a common problem.

While adjusting the driver's side sun visor the visor broke and would no longer stay up in either position. It just dangled down and severely restricted the driver's vision. There was no way to temporarily fix the visor to make the car safe for the remainder of the trip, and repair necessitated replacing the entire visor at a cost of $140. This is a known problem with Camry and the repair cost could deter people from replacing the visor, resulting in a dangerous situation, as visibility is very poor with the visor dangling down in front of the driver.

My drivers side sun visor decide to quit working while I was driving and suddenly cover my visibility. I have to stop on the side on the road and try several time to put it back. Finally I frustrated remove and put it on the passenger seat. Toyota should do better job on that because I was about to be involve into an accident.
