| Description of the problem | My wife has a 2008 toyota camry. It is out of warranty as of december 2010. She didn't let me know she was having issues with drivers side sunvisor dropping until it was too late. I searched the internet looking for a replacement part and found this is a common problem other owners share. The dealer wants $117 or more for this part. My issue is toyota knows it's a problem and buying a replacement sunvisor will have the same problem. I had to remove the visor before it cause her to panic when it dropped and have an accident. |
