The sun visor on the driver side just flopped down. It startled me and I almost got into an accident. The sun visor is unable to stay up by itself, and it remains floppy and hangs straight down. I am short, and I have my seat all the ways forward and in the highest position; so the floppy visor is a visual obstruction to driving. The only way to keep the visor up is to tie it and wrap the tie around the ceiling hand holder on the driver's side. So, if I'm driving into the sun, I have to untie it; but because it hangs straight down, it blocks my total vision. The problem is compounded because I live in florida and I am constantly using my sun visor year round.
The drivers side sunvisor suddenly fell down and will no longer stay up. We have to hold it up while driving or keep it taped up which prevents us from using it while the sun is in our eyes. I have found an online forum where many others are having the same problem with their 2007-2008 Camrys. Others are also having problems with the passenger side sunvisor falling down. Thankfully mine is under warranty and is being fixed by my local Toyota dealer since we purchased the platinum warranty. This is a dangerous hazard and should be recalled and fixed by Toyota immediately.
I had both of my sun visors break as I have read that other people have had the same problem. I was driving down the road when I needed to use the visor and it broke. This should be a recall.
While driving down the highway my sun visor just flopped down for no reason obstructing my view of the road. I pulled over to the side of the road and examined the visor and noticed it would not go back up. It looks like the springs in the visor broke. I went on line and read of stories of the same thing happening in the 2008 Camry. . I went to the Toyota of orange and the service manager jeremy wright said he hasn't heard of any problems with the visor and showed him all the comments on line and he said you can get anything on line. . They would not back up their defective visor. But over all this is a major safety issue that needs to be brought up with Toyota. I lost my view of the road and could of killed someone. My name is craig born, I live at 1341 e voigt way placentia CA. Caborn@roadrunner. Com 714 223-0179 dl # n8015077 VIN # 4t4be46k98r021915.
Driver side sun visor was originally put on too tight by the company. It was too difficut to move to the driver's door to block the sun from the window. So, when I tried moving the sun visor back into its original position, the bar broke. The trunk release does not open the trunk from the inside.
Both driver and passenger sun visors are defective and no longer function properly which causes obstruction of view and dangerous driving conditions. The visors are still connected but for some reason, droop horribly and will not stay in their proper positions. On 8/23/11 as I was driving in morning traffic, the visor came down and obstructed my view. When I attempted to move it to the side, the entire visor came off.
In August 2011, I began to have problems with the driver side sun visor. It doesn't stay up in the folded position. At times it would all of the sudden fall open without touching it. The range of motion of the visor became very limited. Even in the down position it would not stay back. This became an issue especially when driving in the direction of bright sunlight. Not being able to position the visor as needed impeded my ability to drive safely.
Driver's side sun visor wouldn't go up today. Had to told it up as I drove until I could safely pull over. I had to pull it off as I couldn't safely drive with it flopping around.
First my passenger sun visor would not stay in the upright position (the position that its put in when not in use). My brother had it in the downward position to keep the sun out of his eyes and then when he tried to put it back up the coil/spring popped and it just hung down and refused to stay put up. A few days later when I was getting into my car I noticed my driver's side sun visor was now hanging just like the passenger sun visor. I went to put it up and then I heard the coil/spring pop and then the visor completely fell off.
Driver side sun visor fell down while driving down the intersate.
The passenger sunvisor began to hang down slightly and then it dropped all the way down and wouldn't go back up at all. We tried everything to fix it but to no avail. The passenger can't even look forward at certain times of the day due to the sun right in their eyes. Recently, the driver's side sunvisor has now done the same thing. It is hanging down in the view of the driver and causing safety concerns. We have to drive holding it up with our hands just so we can see out of the drivers window to drive. I researched online to see if this has been a problem to other Toyota owners and was astonished at how many complaints there were regarding this problem. When I saw how many other Toyota owners were experiencing the same problem, I decided to file a complaint due to safety concerns for so many.
My wife has a 2008 toyata Camry. It is out of warranty as of December 2010. She didn't let me know she was having issues with drivers side sunvisor dropping until it was too late. I searched the internet looking for a replacement part and found this is a common problem other owners share. The dealer wants $117 or more for this part. My issue is Toyota knows it's a problem and buying a replacement sunvisor will have the same problem. I had to remove the visor before it cause her to panic when it dropped and have an accident.
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.
Driver side sun visor keep dropping down on my 2008 Camry.
The sun visor on the drivers side of my 2008 Camry has broken and will not stay in the up position. It caused major impairment to my vision while driving and was very distracting. In order to fix the problem I had to remove the visor completely from the bracket the holds it. Now I have the opposite issue of not having a visor, which can in its own way can make driving difficult. The cost to fix the visor at the dealership was quoted to me as $185.
The drivers' side sun visor broke and flops down in drivers face. At first it would stay in the holder but eventually started to flop down at any moment, flopping, creating a safty hazard. Toyota dealership wanted $200. 00 parts and labor to repair. I don't have that kind of money to fix a defective part. For safety reasons, I had it removed. The internal mechanism is locked as the only way it would fit in now would be opposite the way it has to be to work. This is a design flaw apparently, the tiny plastic parts cannot withstand the force of the metal parts which resuts in a failure. This is in a 2008 Camry.
I recently purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry le with approximately 40,000 miles. The driver's side sun visor is floppy and does not stay up in the "locked" position. When I drive over a bump, the visor flops down further. I am constantly having to push it up when it dangles too low and obstructs my vision. Furthermore, if I get into an accident I could smash my forehead on the visor. I've researched finding a new visor online, only to find numerous complaints on the 2007 and 2008 models. I believe a recall is in order.
The passenger side sun visor no longer stays in the up poistion, causing a blind spot for the driver.
2008 Toyota Camry sun visor became loose during regular use and a few days later the visor fell down on me as I was pulling out of my place of employment.
The sun visor on the driver's side flapped down without being manually released. The visor no longer locks into place and releases randomly while driving. This is a dangerous driving hazard.
The driver side sun visor is dropping down on my 2008 Toyota Camry. Both the clips are fine but it just quit staying in place. It happened around 40000 mile or after 3 and 1/4th year of ownership. I haven't used the visor heavily; my regular commute is opposite of sun position.

I have a 2008 Toyota Camry and both driver and passenger side visors are just hanging down and wont stay up. I tried to take them back to the dealer to get fixed but I have a long commute to work so after 2 years my warranty was up. Its very hard to see sometimes without visors that work.
2008 new Camry brake and rotor failed at 28000mile less than 3 years during warranty period. 7000 mile alignment failure, always turn one side on freeway when not holding steer. Checked by dealer, nothing was done. 28000 miles right brake cut into rotor. Repaired. However, brake still wear quickly. Alignment service solved this problem. Refuse to reimburse the cost because they did not do anything at 7000mile alignment issue, what is a joke. If this did something, this failure would not happen.
Sun visor on both driver and passenger side broke and will not stay up.
The sunvisors are very cheaply made. They use a metal clip that swivels around a road and a plastic casing around the metal clip. The metal clip puts way too much pressure for the plastic to withstand, resulting in failure. Numerous people have complained of their sunvisors breaking and suddenly hanging in their face, blocking their vision. When this happens, the sunvisors must be forcefully pulled out of their socket to allow unobstructed driving. Both of my sunvisors failed in the same manner within a couple of months of one another. The car was 2. 5 years old. The bumper-to-bumper warranty had just expired -- due to mileage, as we drove a lot of highway miles. There's no justification for these visors to fail this early. This is poor engineering, poor material selection, or whatever you want to call it. It is unacceptable. Toyota should be forced to recall these sunvisors. Local Toyota dealers are unwilling to help. This is a potentially dangerous situation.
Pulled out of bank drive thru bay. Stopped (to turn left into parking lot way). Pressed gas pedal to turn. Car jerked, accelerated, and spunout into the parking lot way. Brake and good driving saved me, but this 2008 Camry had just been repaired for recall pedal issue . . Issue happened again on 3/15/2010. Similar situation. . . Driving really slow in parking lot. Pressed gas, rpm went up, car hesitated, jumped/accelated, and paused before going to normal speed. Actsl like a transmission shifting issue.
My Toyota Camry pedal was in the sticking position and when I went to brake the brakes would not do their job and I couldn't stop until I bumped the car in front of me. Prior to this incident, I had experienced sudden acceleration a few time over the last two and half years with this car, but never any sticking or break failure.
S10 direct reply- letter to the secretary from re support in his efforts to get resolution with Toyota 2008 Toyota Camry. The consumer stated he noticed just after christmas there was paint peeling off the rear bumper. He took the vehicle to a certified auto body shop and was informed the paint repair was poorly done and that most likely the paint shop that was used for the repair didn't use enough uv protection in the paint and the base paint was probably inferior quality. The auto body shop stated, if the uv paint protection was not used in sufficient quantity and quality in a proper manner that after 2 or 3 months in the sun, the color would change.
