The driver side visor on my 2011 Toyota Camry drops down in front of my vision making it a hazard when I drive as my visibility is impaired. I hit my head on the visor when I get in and out of the car. Toyota should declare a recall and fix these defective visors

Driver side sun visor came disconnected and lodged in angled, partially down position while driving, making it difficult to see. Had to pull over to fully disconnect visor as it was fully stuck otherwise. Reviewing tonight, this seems to be a common issue for this era Camry.

Dashboard is sticky and melting in the heat. Noticed this problem while driving as the dashboard is up close to the steering wheel. You can feel how tacky the dashboard is.
- Henrico, VA, USA
The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the sun visor had been replaced twice on the driver's side and once on the front passenger side due to the part not staying connected in place without fracturing. The dealer (hamer Toyota, 11041 sepulveda blvd, mission hills, ca 91345, (818) 365-9621) and the manufacturer both indicated that this was a known issue, but there was no service or recall campaigns. The contact was uncertain if the part would fail again. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000....updated 11/21/17 updated 7/23/18

The sun visor of my car cannot stay up. It keeps rotating downward and blocks my view. This is a wide-spread manufacturing defect of 2007-2011 Camry. I informed Toyota but they did not agree to fix my car. I also have a 2001 Camry, which is 10 years older and its sun visors work fine. My friend has a 2010 Camry and it also has the same sun visor problem. He did not get any recall notice from Toyota for this problem either.

Toyota Camry have a known defect with the sun visor drooping down. Toyota is aware of the issue but is unwilling to extend the fix to all owners that are affected. This is their pol12-03. This also occurred to my car.

Sun visor drooping then falling off. Not honored under Toyota pol12-03 even though the VIN range is within the policy. No replacement offered by Toyota.

I called our local dealer after my wife's 2011 sun visor fell while she was driving and won't stay up. First the service person couldn't find the Toyota memo. Then he found it but said only the interior parts are covered. I told him it's one unit. He spoke to a service tech and the tech confirmed it's one unit. Then he came back with we have to look at it then order the part. I will have to come back in a few days to have it installed. I told him I don't have time to make two trips to the dealer. He put me on hold and now claims she is out of her warranty period.

While driving on the highway and city streets the drivers side sunvisor flops down and must be taped up to the head liner untill its replaced. This is now the third drivers side sunvisor I have had to replace. All the used auto parts dealers say that as soon as one comes in its sold. The price has gone up from the first time I had to repalce it untill now from $135 the first time to now $250

The drivers side sun visor has failed and will not stay in the up.position the inside plasti. The holds the visor arm has separated allowing the entire arm to rotate feely. This blocks my vision of the road and could cause an accident.
- Law Vegas, NV, USA
The passenger and driver side sun visors fail to stow properly and have deployed unexpectedly while operating the vehicle on numerous occasions to the point it seemed safer to remove the visors. The adverse affect is now being blinded by the sun while driving.

Drivers side visor drops down when and will not stay up. The Toyota extended warranty does not cover my VIN #. this is a part defect and has many complaints.
- New Port Richey, FL, USA
On 5/19/17 the driver side sun visor suddenly began to not stay in the resting position. It does not stay in the position towards the windshield anymore either. It just hangs straight down. It will not stay up at all. This is a known issue on these vehicles. Toyota had issued a warranty extension but only for certain VIN numbers. My VIN does not fall within the range. I came across this web forum where numerous people have posted with similar problems J.mp/2qu53vo here are links to the Toyota documents outlining the problem, the warranty extension, and applicable vins. media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/pol12-03.pdf media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/ztt-dlrltr.pdf I contacted Toyota and they confirmed that my VIN is not included and there was nothing more they could do for me. I have attached the response email from them and case number. This is not just an annoyance, it is a safety issue as it inhibits my view of the road.
