Writing about the sun visors on the 2010 Toyota Camry. Seems unusual to me that I've had two of them that I have had to replace in the past 2 years. In both cases, the sun visors lost their ability to stay upright and started dropping down into the drivers' visual field while driving. This happened to the visors on both the driver and passenger sides. I bought replacements and installed them myself. Not hugely expensive just seems like a defect, and potential safety hazard, that should be addressed. I was surprised to find so many youtube videos online addressing the problem. They helped me do the repair myself, but seems to signal that this has been a problem for many owners of these Toyota cars. I'm only listing the date of the last one I replaced. The first one occurred within the past two years.

Drivers side visor became detached while vehicle was in motion on a city street. Became very loose all of a sudden, blocking vision, and then detached. Toyota apparently has an extended warranty out on the issue but I am just outside of the window.

In less than a year after I purchased my vehicle the driver side visor started to fall and would not stay up. I purchased another driver side visor (about $85). Later I received a letter about a recall on the visor. I still had my receipt at the time, therefore I submitted it for a refund. Well guess what, the replacement visor did not last long. It started to fall (2012) and for a while it would stay up when I pushed it back up, unless I hit a pothole or a bump. Now (2016) it will no longer stay up. I am not happy that I will need to spend estimate $85 for a third visor that will only last for how long? first time since I owned a car (this is my third car and first Toyota. Last car I had for 14 years.) that I have had this type of non-mechanical problems with a car. I just had the glove compartment replaced (Sept. 2017) because it would not stay closed nor would it lock. It just fell open while I was parked and would not close again. That cost me almost $200 to get the parts needed to fix it, because a replacement box from Toyota cost was $600.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the plastic base of the driver side sun visor fractured, which caused the sun visor to hang, and blocked the visibility of the driver. Neither an independent mechanic nor the dealer diagnosed the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000. Updated 11/27/2017

While driving on the freeway around 5:45 a.M. on 9-4-2017 at about 60-65 mph, when I heard a loud bang and discovered that my sunroof glass had exploded and shattered. I did not hit anything, nothing was thrown at me and I was not under an overpass. When I got home, I examined the entire top portion of the vehicle's glass and did not observe any rocks, bottles or other items that would have caused the glass to break. I also observed that the glass was curved/bowed upward indicating that an object did not hit it. It has been extremely hot in the sacramento area with temperatures reaching over 110 degrees, so not sure if that contributed to the glass shattering. I have researched online and discovered that this seems to be a common problem with various makes and models of vehicles, including Toyota, with several lawsuits as well.

The driver's side sun visor is broken. It fell while the vehicle was in motion. It will no longer stay up and falls down obstructing the driver's view. It also falls down when attempting to use it for it's intended purpose, which is to block the sun. Toyota has issued a warranty enhancement but has put restrictions on the car's model year and date of purchase. My car is a 2010, and missed being eligable for the warranty enhancemanet by 3 months. My sun visor is just as broken as the person who bought their car 3 months after me. I would like to ask NHTSA why a recall has not been issued due to this being a chronic problem and certainly a safety issue. I would also like to ask Toyota why they have not issued a voluntary recall, as they are aware of this design flaw. At the very least, why are all model years not included in the warranty enhancement program?

Dash board is sticky and melting. Called Toyota because found warranty information and they said their warranty expired in May 2017. In may, my dashboard was fine. Today's date is August 22, 2017. Does Toyota know exactly how long the dashboard lasts and terminate their warranty a month prior. Car is not drivable due to shiny reflection of sun.

Sun visor flops down obstructing driver's view. This is a known defect and Toyota issued an extended warranty coverage for 7 years of warranty repair. However, my visor failed 3 1/2 months after the extension expired and the local dealer and Toyota America refused to pay for the repair. The visor flops down and will not stay up. It obscures the driver's vision.

Driver visor, after it is extended to the side, does fall and sag further than it should, covering a lower portion than normal of the side driver window. Visibility to the side is greatly reduced; it is almost impossible to see traffic approaching perpendicularly from the left side, and I am a relatively short driver. Toyota says this is a known issue and even had a 7 year warranty extension called customer support program ztt. This problem is now evident in my car, which is 7.5 years old, and Toyota refuses to cover it. I understand this is a safety issue and that 7 year warranty extension was just a cheap substitute for what should be a recall. There are plenty of videos and pictures of this issue that can be searched online
