| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota camry that a month ago had two visors fell down all of a sudden the springs that hold them snapped off the same day. I was driving when the driver side visor fell down and is being held up by tape. I went in to toyota and they said sorry it is out of warranty you have to pay $240. 00 for two visors. I am furious as i have been reading to many complaints that this should be considered a safety recall as it obstructs the view of the driver. No one is recalling these as a road hazard. It can cause a serious accident or death if fallen while driving and obstructs view like it did me. I had to hold it up with my fingers while driving. This is a class action law suit waiting to happen. If it were maybe 2-6 i can see doing it yourself but hundreds of complaints i see on line and filed my question is why have you waited so long to find toyota at fault for faulty parts? How is it that hundreds of these for the 2007 have broke around the same time frame all out of warranty but enough to cause great concern.... This tells me that this is a manufactures defect and should be recalled and fixed at toyotas expense. I am outraged that you have not made this a recall for those who have filed. We trust in you to protect us why have you not done this for us? |
