| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 toyota camry and i purchased a extended warranty when i bought the car in 2007 that warranty expired august 1, 2013 a few days after it had expired my driver side visor will not stay up! I do not hang anything on it like cd holder or anything. It is driving me crazy because it makes it very hard to see the road when i am driving and i feel this should be recalled sense there has been multiple complaints for the 2007 camry with this same situation and it is a safety problem for many camry owners. The visor sometimes even hits me in the head when i try to get out of my car. I have had many issues with this car from day one and i am not very happy that this has not been recalled yet. Seems like toyota does not care for the safety of their customers. Also on top of the visor my shock coil broke on the passenger side which the extended warranty did cover sense it happened before august 1st but now the strut is leaking oil on that same side, i brought it to the toyota dealer in june 2013 and they told me they won't replace it because even though it is leaking oil it is not 100% broken yet and told me the warranty wont cover it until it completely blows! I told them i have a young child that i have to think of this safety along with mine and was shocked that even though it is leaking oil (which is not good) cause at any moment while driving it can bust that toyota doesn't recognize it, its not like it will heal on its own so i feel it should have been replaced under my warranty that i paid almost $1000. 00 for when i purchased the car! I hope toyota will recall the visor issue for their customers. I am going to contact toyota directly on monday to see if i can get anywhere with this safety issue. |
