| Description of the problem | On 24 sept 2009 my passenger side sun visor fell off, the mounting is completely free of the roof, on 25 september 2009 the driver side sun visor (although still attached to the roof) is sagging and inhibiting my line of vision. I attempted to hold the driver side sun visor up by a rubber band attached to the handle above the door. This failed on 26 september 2009 causing the sun visor to impair my vision and i narrowly avoided a collision with another vehicle. I have contacted toyota, was told that my vin number is associated with a tech safety bulletin (t-sb-0284-09) however since my vehicle is out of warranty the company will not replace the defective components. |
