The sun visor on my 2008 Toyota Camry does not snap back into place anymore and keeps falling down into my eyes while driving. I have to hold it up with one hand while I drive. Not very safe. I went to the dealer today and they told me it was $160 to replace with labor.

Driver side sun visor fell down while driving down the intersate.
- West Monroe, LA, USA
Both sun visors of my 2008 Toyota Camry broke off about 10 months ago through no fault of my own. The visors first began to hang limply, so I could not properly adjust them to keep out the sun. While trying to adjust them they simply fell off. The drivers side broke first and within 2 months the passenger side also broke. When the first broke I thought it was just some aberration, but after the second I realized there is something in the manufacturing of the visors that is faulty. Both occurred outside of the warranty window. It is now dangerous to drive in early morning and late evening, because of the lack of the visors. I will continue to follow up with Toyota for reimbursement, but I felt it was necessary to notify NHTSA to see if others have had similar problems. Thank you.

Sun visor breaks at top and falls (still hanging) into viewing area of vehicle making it much harder to see and is very blinding while driving. Plus, once broke, the visor will never stay up again.

Within the last 10 days, both sun visors have broken and just hang straight down. This is clearly a safety issue/concern. The problem seems to be with the quality of the internal mechanisms.

- North Little Rock, AR, USA
Defective sun visors in interior. Sun visor internals broke after 3.5 years of normal operation - visor hangs down and impedes visibility and is in an unsafe position in event of collision. Poor product quality creates potential safety hazard to driver visibility.
