| Description of the problem | Driver side sun visor became loose and eventually fell off. There was nothing out of the ordinary, no roughness, just normal use. Loose one day and would not hold in place (either up or down). Finally fell off in my lap. Toyota said they were aware of other complaints, but would not fix for free because of expired warranty. Replacement costs +$120. 00. I found numerous other customers on line with the exact same problem. I believe this should be recalled and fixed for customers. Why would so many folks have the visor suddenly fall off? *js |
