I bought this 2008 Toyota Camry new and the sun visor on the drivers side won't stay up. They had a recall to fix it and we took it to have it fixed and now it is falling down again and now the. 2007-2011 Toyota Camry's were installed with a sun visor that was later recalled due to a defect in the inner plastic body. The two halves of the visor that connect around the lever arm begin to pull away from the arm that attaches it to the interior of the car.

The Toyota Camry is one of America’s best-selling vehicles because it's so darned reliable. Most of the time, it works great. The rest of the time, here's what tends to go wrong.

Note: The list of problems below is organized by vehicle generation. Scroll down to find your model range.

2017-Present Camry - Common Problems

Good news: there's nothing to report so far! Be sure to check back once in a while because we update the information on this page regularly.

2012-2016 Camry - Common Problems

Musty Smell Coming from the AC/Heat Vents: An overpowering moldy smell coming from the vents is not Camry specific and can occur in any vehicle. This problem occurs because people leave their A/C systems on when they turn off their cars. If the A/C system isn't turned off and allowed to dry out for a couple of minutes before the car is parked, condensation can build up inside the A/C system, which leads to mold.

You can learn how to fix this problem here, as well as how to prevent it.

Torque Converter Failure: When the RPMs go down and the Camry starts shuddering while the transmission changes gears, the torque converter has failed. Toyota responded to this widespread problem by issuing a Limited Service Campaign where they’ll either update the Engine Control software or replace the torque converter at no charge until October 31, 2017.

2007-2011 Camry - Common Problems

Excessive Oil Consumption (aka 'Burning Oil'): This issue is a result of poorly designed piston rings. Oil can leak past these piston rings at sometimes high rates, and that can lead to engine failure if oil levels aren't monitored closely. While you can fix this problem by replacing the piston rings, it's cheaper and easier to keep a close eye on oil levels. Checking your oil weekly is the best solution here.

Transmission Slippage (2010 and 2011 models): Symptoms include jerking, hard shifting, refusal to go into reverse, and hesitation to accelerate. A lot of Camry owners solve this problem by having their transmission rebuilt or replaced. A good way to prevent this from happening is to give your transmission some TLC by making sure that it has adequate fluid at all time and allowing your Camry enough time to warm up in cold weather.

Melting Dashboard: The main symptom is a sticky dashboard, which can create a dangerous glare from the sun. In January 2015, Toyota agreed to extend dashboard warranty coverage for melted dashboards. The extended warranty lasted until May 31, 2017, but you can still call Toyota at 800-331-4331 to see if they’ll replace your dashboard free of charge.

2002-2006 Camry - Common Problems

Deteriorating Rear Speaker Covers: In most cases, the plastic Toyota used to manufacture the rear speaker covers eventually cracks or crumbles after prolonged exposure to the sun. The best thing to do is replace the speaker covers as soon as possible (Part No. 55472-AA010-B0 and Part No. 55473-AA010-E0).

Leaking Head Gasket: This generation of Camry sometimes has problems with a bad head gasket design that causes serious oil leakage. Symptoms include smoke coming out from under the hood, dirty coolant, white smoke coming out of the tailpipe (even after the car has warmed up), and of course engine failure. The best thing to do is periodically check your oil and inspect your coolant. If your oil begins to look milky or muddy, or if your coolant looks unusually dark, get your car to a repair shop ASAP.

Hard Shifting: Many ’02-‘06 Camry owners report experiencing the transmission jerking while shifting gears (even when accelerating). Reflashing the ECU may fix the problem. If it doesn’t, the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced (if the issue gets bad enough).

1997-2001 Camry - Common Problems

Engine Seizing Due To Oil Consumption: Fundamentally, the issue here is a piston ring design that lets oil sneak past and get consumed. Oil consumption is only a minor problem, however, unless you forget to periodically check your engine oil levels. Since many vehicle owners never check their oil levels, oil consumption can lead to engine failure.

The easy solution: if you own a Camry made between 1997 and 2001, check the oil frequently and add oil as needed. An engine rebuild is an option too, only that can be expensive.

Peeling Paint: Of course, this generation is older, so peeling paint may be expected. However, this problem is so prevalent that some wonder if Toyota had a paint quality problem on these cars. Repainting your car is one option, and spraying your car with Plasti-Dip is another...Plasti-dip is a DIY product you can use to give your car a unique look. If your hood is peeling, it might be worth trying out some Plasti-Dip instead of paying for a paint job.

Oxygen Sensor Failures: A failed oxygen sensor means your engine isn't getting the right air/fuel mixture. The engine surging periodically is a good sign that your oxygen sensor needs to be replaced. Oxygen sensors are more prone to failure on this generation of Camry.

This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.

CarComplaints.com Notes: Owners are reporting that their engines are running out of oil awfully quick. As in, 1 quart every 1,200 miles. Toyota maintains that’s with the “normal” operating range of the 2AZ-FE while owners maintain that’s complete BS.

The issue may be the result of defective piston rings.

I have dealt with this a recurring problem with the Camry. It is the 2nd Camry that the visor as broken. I had the visor fixed on the other Camry. I think there should be a recall on the visor since I have read about it being a constant complaint. It is not a cheap fix for an annoying problem which deters our vision. I can't afford to pay for a problem. The cost is $91.00 for a 2 minute fix. Outrageous! I may not buy another Camry. The purpose of the visor is to keep sun out of your eyes. But if you continue to use it for that, it will break.

Both the diver's side and passenger's side sun visors have broken within a year of each other, and after the extended warranty expired. The plastic mechanism keeping the sun visor up failed/broke on both. I am not hard on cars, so I am disappointed by this defect (and many other issues) with this Camry.

2007 Toyota Camry Sun Visor Driver Side Recall Notices

• Automatic transmission
• 65,567 miles

We've had this 2008 since 12,000 miles. Good looking car. My wife takes really good care of it. But.....we've replaced the A/C...under warranty, Transmission, Under warranty, Drivers side visor 3x under warranty. But now the warranty is up. And the visor is broken again. Really, ????? Never had this problem on my Nissan Sentra, Nissan truck, Chevy Luv, Toyota 4x4, Ford Taurus, Chevy minivan, Dodge minivan, Ford F-150 or even all of my Ford Rangers. So I've had a few vehicles. Most I would buy again. But the Camry,....pssh!!! Nothing but troubles after it hit 30,000 miles. And this isn't the hybrid. Wow I can't imagine what dysfunctional that car must be.

God help us all from these chronically defectively designed parts, poor workmanship, and generally bad products that are fed to us through marketing hype.

YOU CANT DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE SUNVISORS HANGING DOWN IN YOUR FACE AND IF YOU TAKE THEM DOWN THE SUN IS BLINDING YOU. THEY JUST HANG THERE HALF WAY AND YOU CAN'T PUSH THEM BACK TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD OR PUT THEM UP ON THE ROOF EITHER. IT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS AND IT REALLY MAKES ME MAD THAT I HADN'T HAD THE CAR BUT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR WHEN THE FIRST ONE BROKE AND A COUPLE MONTHS LATER THE SECOND ONE BROKE. IT HAPPENED JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY WENT OUT AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH THE PROBLEM.

Sun Visor 2007 Toyota Camry

The Sun Visor will not stay up. In checking on the internet this seems to be a reoccurring problem with the Sun Visors on the Toyota Camry Models from 2008 to 2010. This is a definite problem with Toyota and should be addressed as a recall or at least make the Sun Visor affordable for People. I was told at the dealership it cost around $250.00. I have seen them used on E-bay but they are going anywhere from $100 to $150 used. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. It's Just a Sun Visor and it is a definite flaw in production of these. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. EITHER SEND A RECALL OR AT LEAST MAKE THEM AVAILABLE AT AN AFFORDABLE RATE.
