| Description of the problem | The driver's side sun visor has broken and will not stay up in place. There is no way to keep this up and it becomes a driving hazard. Removal of the visor then leaves the driver blind from the light of the sun in the morning and in the evening. It is apparent that this part fails on a regular basis and that toyota has continued to use the same mechanism in the toyota camry sun visor over a several year span and simply uses it as a revenue source from the driving public. |
