| Description of the problem | The driver's side sun visor of my 2007 toyota camry hybrid suddenly broke causing it to swing down and completely block my vision. Attempts to swing the visor out of the way failed as the visor is completely loose and swings wildly when turning. I have tried using tape to secure the visor in the up position, but eventually the tape fails. Additionally there are no directions or easily detectable way to remove the visor. After calling toyota i was informed it would cost $308. 70 to replace a part that should never have failed (especially with only 4 years of use). I have read online that this seems to be an issue that numerous toyota owners are having and wanted to document my troubles. |
