NHTSA Complaint #10462321 — 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY

THE SUN VISOR HAD BEEN FLOPPING DOWN A BIT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF FEW WEEKS, THEN IT JUST QUIT GRIPPING THE SHAFT THAT KEEPS IT IN THE "NON-USE' POSITION -I.E. VISOR HORIZONTAL PARALLEL TO ROOF - SO THAT IT WAS HANGING DOWN PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROOF PLANE, BLOCKING VISION OUT THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS NOT STAYED UP SINCE. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS PROVEN TO ME THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL YEAR (AND 2007 MODEL YEAR) CAMRYS AND THEY DO REPRESENT A DRIVING HAZARD, PARTICULARLY IF AND WHEN THEY FLOP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN HEAVY, URBAN TRAFFIC AND THE LIKE. *JS
