| Description of the problem | 2007 camry se ~37000 miles. Sun visors have failed to hold in position. This results in the visors not staying up and coming all the way down facing the ground blocking the drivers view (as well as the passenger's view). When looking in blind spots, the driver hits his/her head on the visor. This can be very dangerous as the drivers vision is impaired and unable to view out the windshield. Toyota unwilling to correct the issue even though it is a major safety hazard. I have 6yr/100,000 mile warranty and are only wanting to warrant parts for 36,000 miles. Under warranty or not, it sounds like someone will have to be killed before this is corrected. There are many complaints about the toyota camry visors online. |
