| Description of the problem | Driver side sun visor came down un expectantly and became a driving hazard, it had to be removed thus making driving more un safe. I had to purchase a improved sun visor from the dealer which toyota had corrected the faulty sun visor there fore were aware of the problem, toyota also started a short term voluntary recall however it seemed to be at there discretion who received the repair and who did not, what factors they used to discriminate between customers i do not know. It is my habit to ask the dealer every time i go there for service if there are any recalls or advisories open on my 07 camry, they have always said no! So apparently they lied to me on this issue any way, and i had no other way to find out since they did not disclose it to the public. My car was in motion on a busy city street going around a turn when it came down and temporary blinded me. If a pedestrian had hoped out to cross the street, i would of struct that person! |
