2009 Toyota AVALON Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1596592
Internal NHTSA #	11252255
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	AVALON
Model Year	2009
File date	26/07/19
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	A power rear window sunshade is an option that is designed to be retractable. A push button switch below the dashboard is supposed to toggle the perforated sunshade to the raised and retracted position. Once the sunshade is raised normally, it cannot be retracted again. Any attempt to lower it results in a loud clicking noise as the shade tries to retract but cannot.. The problem is exacerbated when backing up, since shifting the vehicle into reverse (r) should automatically retract the sunshade but cannot do so. My sunshade is stuck in the raised position and cannot be lowered. Although i can see through the shade fairly well during daylight hours, vision is obscured at night and presents a safety hazard. An online search revealed that many other avalon owners whose vehicles had this sunshade option had the exact same problem and struggled to find a solution. Many toyota dealerships seem to find the problem so difficult to solve that they must charge an exorbitant sum of money for a temporary repair that might not last very long. This is an annoying problem that begs for a permanent and affordable solution!
