| Description of the problem | Around july 17th or 18th, my driver side visor broke and would not stay up, it was flimsy and i could not see because it was pretty much hanging. When i started to look around it and investigate what happened, i could feel behind it something sticking out. It seems as if the socket holding it in place just broke and in turn made it not stay up. I had to take it down because velcro would not hold it up and i just could not see with it hanging. I have not paid to fix it as it is costly and do not have $200 + to spare for a visor which should clearly have not broken especially since i am still paying for this car. I want this to be fixed by toyota. I called a toyota dealership to see if this would be covered under warranty but of course it's not and i've also read blogs in regards to this issue. Apparently driver visors on toyota's breaking is pretty common. *kb |
