I HAVE A 2008 CAMRY THAT HAS STEERING ISSUES. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE AND HARD TO CONTROL WITH SEVERE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 35MPH AND UP. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND TOLD "NOTHING IS WRONG" WITH THE CAR. I HAVE HAD NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS RECENTLY AS WELL AS NEW TIRES. I CAN NOT GET HELP FROM ANYONE WITH THE ABOVE ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR LET ALONE PUTTING MY KIDS IN IT, HOWEVER I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2008 CAMRYS. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. THE ISSUE I'M HAVING IS THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTS, BECOMES STICKY AND DAMAGE WHILE THIS VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE SUN.

AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I AM FINDING THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. IT IS ALSO HAPPENING TO THE PASSENGER'S VISOR. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. *TT

2008 TOYOTA CAMERY SE INTERIOR DASHBOARD MELTING,STICKY AND DAMAGE. *JS

2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID, 58,000 MILES. FAULTY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR. ENTERED VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, NOTICED THAT SUN VISOR WAS HANGING DOWN APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES FROM CEILING "CLOSED POSITION". DROVE TO WORK WITH NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE. APPROXIMATELY NINE HOURS LATER, REENTERED VEHICLE AND SAW THAT SUNVISOR WAS NOW HANGING STRAIGHT DOWN. ATTEMPTED TO PUSH VISOR TO CLOSED POSITION TO NO AVAIL. ATTEMPTED TO POSITION SUNVISOR SO THAT IT WAS NOT BLOCKING MY VISION BUT BECAUSE IT WAS HANGING WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE FRICTION RETENTION (FLAPPING LOOSELY), I ENDED UP HAVING TO HOLD IT OUT OF THE WAY WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING WITH THE OTHER. UPON RETURNING HOME, I UTILIZED A PIECE OF TWINE TO HOLD IT OUT OF MY SIGHT-LINE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT ANY ACTION. UPON DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUNVISORS IN 2007 AND 2008 CAMRYS, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I FOUND IN A VERY SHORT TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE SUNVISOR BLOCKS THE DRIVER'S VISION UNLESS HELD OUT OF THE WAY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD HANG DOWN AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UPWARD POSITION, BLOCKING VISIBILITY ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD BEEN LOOSE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEN AROUND SEPTEMBER, IT JUST BROKE AND BECAME FLOPPY. WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE IT STAY IN RAISED POSITION, AND OPTED TO REMOVE IT ALL TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE GOOD VISIBILITY AT ALL TIMES. THE TOYOTA COMPANY ASKED $120 TO REPLACE IT. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THIS PART. *TR

2008 TOYOTA CAMRY DRIVERS SUN VISOR WILL NOT SAY UP AND BLOCKS DRIVERS VIEW OF ROADWAY. *TT

SUN VISOR ON 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY LE BROKE AND HANGING DOWN WHICH IS LIMITING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. MY CAR IS THREE YEARS (3) OLD, AND THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED USING VELCRO (IF I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY THE $178 TO FIX IT.) *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE AND FELL (AND REMAINED HANGING) INTO THE VIEWING AREA NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT HIGH SPEED IN TRAFFIC COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SIGNIFICANT. *TR

MY BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING AT APPROX. 40-44K MILES. MY BELTS/WATER PUMP BROKE/CRACKED AT APPROX 50K MILES. THE MECHANIC SAID THE WATER PUMP, IF IT EVER BROKE AT ALL, SHOULDN'T BREAK TILL MIN. 100K MILES. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE THE CAMRY TO A MECHANIC TO CHECK ENGINE RACING AND GRINDING FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A MONEY PIT WITH AWFUL VISIBILITY. I'VE SPENT MANY THOUSANDS ON THIS CAR BEFORE IT REACH 50K MILES. *TR

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. *TR

OUR 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY'S LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE SUN VISORS BROKE WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. WE HAVE 31,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TRYING TO DRIVE WITH THESE HANGING DOWN. *TR

AFTER ABOUT 1 WEEK OF HAVING THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BECOMING INCREASINGLY WEAK, AND UNABLE TO BE COMPLETELY TUCKED IN THE FORWARD POSITION (TOWARD WINDSHIELD), THE VISOR JOINT COMPLETELY FAILED TODAY, RESULTING IN THE VISOR BLOCKING VISION FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. THIS RESULTED IN HAVING TO HOLD THE VISOR UP, IN ORDER TO MAKE THE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK (~40 MINUTES). THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY, AND NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED YET. *TR

NO EVENT LED TO FAILURE. 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY, BOTH SUN VISORS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. FAILURE IN THE CLIP WHICH HOLDS THE SUN VISOR UP OUT OF THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. TOYOTA WILL NOT HELP WITH REPLACEMENT ON VEHICLE UNLESS "EXTENDED WARRANTY" PAID FOR AT TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS SIDE SUN VISORS DETACHED FROM THEIR HOUSING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

MY MECHANIC NOTICED THAT ALL 4 STRUTS WERE LEAKING WHEN I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED. I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS VERY UNSTABLE ON THE ROAD AND SWAYING ALL OVER THE PLACE. TOOK THE CAR TO MY TOYOTA DEALER. THEY SAID THAT THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING, BUT ACCORDING TO TOYOTA EXTRA CARE, SOME LEAKAGE IS NORMAL AND THE STRUTS WERE NOT LEAKING ENOUGH TO HAVE THEM REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CAR CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND I TOOK IT BACK TO A TOYOTA DEALER ON 2/14/12. THEY TOLD ME ALL 4 STRUTS WERE LEAKING PAST THE NORMAL AMOUNT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID THE FRONT AND REAL LINKS AND BUSHINGS SHOULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND THERE IS NOISE FROM THESE COMPONENTS. THEY CONTACTED TOYOTA EXTRA CARE WHO SAID THEY NEEDED TO SEND AN ADJUSTER OUT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THE ADJUSTER SAID THAT ONLY 2 STRUTS WERE LEAKING ENOUGH TO BE REPLACED AND NO OTHER PARTS NEEDED REPLACING. HE ALSO SAID HE DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE. AMAZING! EXTRA CARE HAS REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THE OTHER PARTS BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT FAILED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED. I THINK IT IS ABSURD THAT TOYOTA EXTRA CARE IS STANDING ON A TECHNICALITY ON HOW MUCH THE STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND WILL NOT COVER ALL 4. THEY ARE LEAVING ME WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE CERTIFIED MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT MY CAR ALL SAY THAT ONCE THE STRUT IS LEAKING IT SHOULD BE REPLACED NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY TOYOTA CAMRYS FROM THIS YEAR. I PAID FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND TOYOTA SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING. NOT WAIT UNTIL MORE PARTS FAIL OR I HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE SUSPENSION IS COMPROMISED. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

I DRIVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID - BOUGHT THE CAR BASED ON TOYOTA'S REPUTATION OF QUALITY. RECENTLY, I HAD A PROBLEM I HAD NOT EXPECTED TO SEE. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE - THE INTERNAL MECHANISM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND RATHER THAN HAVE IT DANGLE ALL THE TIME (SINCE IT WONT STAND UP) I OPTED TO SIMPLY REMOVE IT. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT A RELATIVELY SIMPLE MECHANISM TURNED OUT TO BE SO UNRELIABLE AND PROBLEMATIC. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID BROKE LOOSE AND IT'S JUST HANGING THERE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $120.00 TO GET IT REPLACED. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND WHO SAID THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY VISOR REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME AS I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WITH LESS THAN 18,000 MILES ON IT BOTH SUN VISORS ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HAVE BROKEN. IN CHECKING ONE OF THEM I FOUND A BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC IN IT THAT CAUSED IT TO FAIL. I DID NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE VISORS BUT DID USE A LARGE BINDER CLIP TO SQUEEZE THEM BACK TOGETHER SO THEY STAY UP BUT CANNOT PUT THEM DOWN IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE I NEED TO USE THEM. IF I LEAVE THEM DOWN MY VISIBILITY IS SEVERELY IMPAIRED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY DOES NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THE VISOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED IT. *TR

I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. FOR THE SECOND TIME THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR HAS BROKEN AND FLOPS DOWN INTO MY FIELD OF VIEW. BOTH VISORS PREVIOUSLY BROKE AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THESE VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY AND IT WILL COST $130 FOR THE VISOR WITH EXTRA COSTS FOR LABOR TO INSTALL IT. DRIVING MY CAR IS DANGEROUS NOW WITH THE VISOR HANGING DOWN IN THE WAY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THE DEFECTIVE VISORS AND REPLACE THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *KB

UPDATED 11/29/11 *CN THE SUN VISOR WAS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. UPDATED 12/07/11

IN MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY, BOTH SUN VISORS SUDDENLY BROKE WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF EACH OTHER AND NOW HANG STRAIGHT DOWN. IT BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VISION, AND THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE IS WITH ONE HAND HOLDING UP THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT VERY SAFE AND OF COURSE ONE CAN ONLY HOLD THEIR ARM ABOVE THEIR HEAD FOR SO LONG - SO NO LONG TRIPS IN THIS CAR. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (I BOUGHT IT NEW 40 MONTHS AGO) AND CHARGES $130 EACH TO REPLACE THEM (THEY CAN'T BE REPAIRED). I EVEN HAVE THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY SAID THE VISORS ARE EXCLUDED, BECAUSE OF THE HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TT

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. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION THOUGH I HAVE NEVER HAD TO BE FORCEFUL WHEN ADJUSTING IT. THE VISOR HANGS DOWN AND INTERFERES WITH MY DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, AND I HAVE RESORTED TO REMOVING IT COMPLETELY. MY IMPRESSION IN THAT THIS VISOR IS DEFECTIVE AND THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT.
