| Description of the problem | My wife's 2008 toyota camry's sun visor has broken under normal use. The visor just flops down, impairing vision while driving; the visor had to be taken down, this should not happen on a car with only 48,000 miles. This happened about august 23, 2012. This is a safety issue, and should be replaced by toyota for free, not $200+ dollars. I will not pay the dealer fee, so the problem still has not been fixed. |
