2011 Toyota AVALON Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1520210
Internal NHTSA #	11156879

Brand	TOYOTA
Model	AVALON
Model Year	2011
File date	28/11/18
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The rear sunshade is stuck in the upright position without being activated and does not go down when the car in put in reverse. This is a very dangerous and potentially fatal situation at night when visibility is poor. There are a plethora of complaints about the sunshade on the internet. When i asked the dealership how much it would cost to repair, they only replace the device for $1000, and the defective sunshade even after replacement could repeat the hazardous situation. Toyota should replace the defective, hazardous part at no cost. It is a threat to safety for all passengers. The defect occurred randomly without provocation upon startup with the car parked. A grinding noise was heard, then the shade went up - unresponsive to the activating/deactivation control button. I had to drive in the slow lane due to poor visibility.
