Model Year | 2010 |
File date | 01/06/13 |
Component | VISIBILITY |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Driver's sun visor will not stay in position against the roof of the car and falls at will, which is a hazard as it limits visibility, sometimes at the worst possible time. At times it merely stays in the lowest possible position, which makes certain driving maneuvers very difficult and dangerous - especially in bad weather. I know toyota has a recall for this same issue on the camry, and i've been told by one of the service technicians that several other models have the same issue, but with no recall. It is obviously a problem with vehicles manufactured by toyota. |
