| Description of the problem | Recently the driver side sun visor broke. It began to slowly come down and hang in front of me as if i had pulled it down to block the sun. If i push it back up it just comes right back down. I'm not able to push it toward the windshield to get it out of the way either. It just falls back down. This is a real safety hazard considering i cannot see the stoplights when the visor is in the way. Also it caused me to almost rear-end another vehicle. I could remove the visor so that i could see better, but this would cause me to be blinded by the sun. I have looked online and found several sites where others are having the same issue and tried calling the dealerships to get this fixed just as they have. But the dealers want over $100 to fix this issue. Considering this is not an issue with just one or two toyota camry owners, toyota should not allow this issue to go on any longer. To not recall these visors will eventually, if it hasn't already, be the cause of someone's life being lost. |
