 Description of the problem2008 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.
