| Description of the problem | My 2007 toyota camry driver side visor got loosen and obstructed my view while driving. I could not lift it up to its normal position. I was driving on highway around 60 mph and the visor suddenly obstructed my view. I almost hit the car infront of me. The dealer (woburn toyota, ma) refused to change the visor and told me it is not covered. I did constant maintenance of the car at the dealer. I hope toyota steps up and recall the visors ad this is a safety concern and some one might not be lucky like me and be involved in a serious accident due to visor obstructing the view while driving. This is a safety concern, what does the mileage have to do with defective sun visors? We are not talking about a broken radio, but rather something that could potential pose a risk of harm to me and my passengers should the situation not be resolved. |
