| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2007 toyota camry from leith toyota in raleigh nc, december of 2006. Last week my driver side sun visor fell while driving and almost caused me to wreck. Within a few days the passenger side visor popped out of place and now it will not stay up. I talked with the dealership where i purchased the vehicle and they say that it will cost $200. 00 or more to replace both. I went on the internet and to my surprise i found that many more toyota customers are having this same issue. The visor clips are clearly defective part(s) in these visors. Even the technician admitted that they have had to repair hundreds of these. I would like to think that i can count on toyota to fix this problem for me at no charge, but i am getting no where with the dealership. I have been a loyal toyota customer for the past 20 or more years. This is dangerous and could cause a serious accident or even death. |
