Unknown Or Other Problems of Toyota Camry - part 2

Cracks in the vinyl dashboard have started on both the passenger and drivers side of the car and are continuing to get bigger. I am concerned that the dashboard cracks along the front of the dash could potentially cause the airbags from deploying or cause them to deploy unnecessarily.

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.

Both sun visors have broken and will not longer remain up. Driver side was hanging straight down and had to be removed. Passenger side will only stay up at about a 45 degree angle. Both failed suddenly and obscure driver's vision. Upon removing the driver side visor it could be seen that the seam in the plastic was broken and the internal metal clip through which the visor shaft passes slips instead of holding fast. Numerous small pieces of broken plastic from the inside were protruding out of the seam.

The sun visor on the driver side will no longer retract to its normal position and now hangs at an awkward angle compromising my field of vision. As the sun visor has rarely been used or even touched, I believe Toyota is at fault and should be held responsible for correcting this inconvenient and hazardous defect as soon as possible.

I have a 2011 Toyota Camry se. At around 5,000 miles when it was time to take it in for service, oil change, tire rotation etc. I had a type of squeaking crackling noise that I would hear when pulling in and out of driveway. I took it in and Toyota service department knew right away what it was. It was the supports for the sunroof that needed to be fixed. They advised that the noise would only get louder and louder. They had it there for two days guing/bonding supports. On August 10, 2011 I was driving my car when I heard a loud explosion. I looked at all my glass windows and didn't notice what had until glass was flying on the passenger side of the car. I pulled over and that is when I saw my sunroof glass broken. The strange thing about the glass was that it looked a volcano. It was shatterred from the outer part of the sunroof glass to the middle. Almost like there was pressure built up and it only had one way of shooting up and out. I called Toyota to make an appointment for that day. I went in that afternoon and explained everything I just wrote to their service department. I also mentioned that the work order history had where they fixed the supports on the sunroof/ he said they would look at the car tomorrow and let me know. I received a phone call from them the next day stating that I had to get a hold of my insurance claim adjuster so they could go look at damages. He had talked to totota warranty department and they came to a conclusion that they were not going to cover damages. He stated that it seemed like a rock had hit it. I spent the next 10 days waiting for my car to get fixed and on top of everything, I had to pay rental fees for the 10 days because Toyota does not offer free rental service to customers. They also don't direct bill your insurance company so you can pay only the percent stated on insurance policy. I had to pay them the full amount and take it up with my insurance. I paid my insurance deductible and then took the car.

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 and passenger side sun visors both split on top within 1 week of each other. Vehicle is only 3 years old.

The driver's side sun visor will not stay in position. The driver's side sun visor is also quickly loosening to the point where it will be a distraction or fall on the driver while in operation of vehicle. This part on the vehicle has had light use and mainly for sheilding glaring sun while car is in motion. Without the proper functioning of the sun visor, it will put the driver and occupants in a dangerous situation.

Driver side sun visor fall down on 8/1/2011. It will not stay hold up which will block driver's sight while driving. There is potential and serious possibility that this fall down sun visor may cause a car accident. Ever since last year, numerous of people have reported to Toyota that 2007 to 2011 Camry has this problem. As of today, 8/8/2011, Toyota has yet to reply to this problem or make any recall to the problematic model. In fact, Toyota asks their customers who experience this problem to pay for a replacement sun visor which may have the same problem in the future. This problem was created by either design or manufacture. Not by failure of usage.

2007 Toyota Camry le. The sun visor broke and is hanging down directly in my driving vision. I put it to the side but it doesn't stay. I drive into the sun. This is a safety hazard and I can see on line it's not uncommon. I have duct taped it to the ceiling for now. Toyota wants over $200 to fix. This should never break, and it break seems like it's inside the visor itself.

Driving along highway and place sun visor in direction of the drivers side window to block sun on left side of vehicle and the sun visor pops out of place and will not stay in the correct position. Currently the visor is either always down blocking the upper portion of view or pointing directly in face if attempting to block sun on drivers left side of vehicle. The failure is ongoing, and will not be corrected unless a new visor is supplied. Consequences of this failure include: blocked vision with the inablity to see upper portion of windshield, failure to see traffic signals, and the potential for sun to shine brightly in eyes causing vision impairment.

While driving into the sun, I pulled my visor down to block the sun. The visor broke & hung limply in my face, blocking my view. When I tried to move it out of the way, it wouldn't stay. In order to drive safely, I ended up pulling off to the side of the road, and figuring out how to detach it, so that it would not block my vision.

Driver side sun visor fails under normal wear. Once visor is broken it hangs down in the drivers view creating a hazard. There is no possible way to fix the visor to original condition once in a broken state. Replaced visor with Toyota oem part. Upon inspection of the broken visor, it was determined that the reason the original visor failed was because the tension bar is dependent on a metal clip that it restrained by the weak plastic housing. Replacement visor should have better reinforcement around tension bar. Without destroying the replacement part, it is impossible to determine if a design change has been made to fix this issue.

Driver side sun visor fell down while driving down the intersate.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and the sun visors have been sagging when in the stowed position for a year or more. Today, the drivers-side visor has decided to fall into my field of vision while driving. I tried to stow the visor, but it will no longer stay put. I had to remove the visor from the roof. As of yet, I have done nothing to repair or replace as it is a Sunday. I will contact Toyota tomorrow and see what it will cost me. I have read many other similar complaints online and that is what let me to your site.

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 sunvisor keeps drifting down while driving blocking driver's view and creates driving hazard and possible accident.

I open my sunroof leaving before I pulled out of my garage. I stopped for a red light and made a turn. 5 to 10 seconds after I turned I heard a loud explosion that sounded like a gunshot. I checked my door windows and the appeared fine; I slightly closed my sunroof and saw that the glass was shattered in a million pieces. The gunshot sound was the sunroof exploding in my 2007 Toyota Camry. My car only has with 68,000 miles on it. Toyotas are made to be driven 300,000 miles. This explosion occurred while my sunroof was in open mode. I took my car to Toyota and was told that maybe a rock hit the sunroof. I told them that it wasn’t possible since the sunroof was open when the explosion occurred. The explosion caused the glass to shatter. I called my insurance company was told that if it is determined that this explosion was a manufacturer’s (Toyota) defect that Toyota was responsible for replacing the sunroof. I called Toyota and was told that if I didn’t have an extended warranty that this item would not be covered. The dealer told me that they would replace the roof for $1080. I told them that this item should be working at the mileage that I have and that they needed to replace it. I also told them that I have owned 3 other cars with sunroofs and the mileage was way past my current mileage that I have never seen this type of problem. I called the 800 number and filed a complaint and they told me that they weren’t going to pay for this item. I told them to file it as a complaint. I also told them that I was going to file a complaint on Toyota.

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.

The passenger sun visor does not work.

The driver's side visor is broken where it connects to the arm/bracket. It doesn't want to stay up. Either way I try to push it (backwards or upward), it falls back down. This is very dangerous because it is difficult to drive not being able to see red lights unless you strain to peer underneath the visor. Please help!.

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.

On a hot day while parked, the front windshield of my 2011 Toyota Camry developed a very large crack.
