| Description of the problem | I was driving my car and put the sun visor down. When i tried to put it back up after the sun wasn't in my eyes, it wouldn't go up. After that, i tried to fix it at home and one day it just fell back down and it won't go back up. It is completely broken and obstructs my view while i am driving. When i called toyota to try and fix it they said it was no longer under warranty and i would have to fix it myself. I don't have the money to fix it and when i asked them to clarify that they wouldn't help me out with the fix even though it is dangerous to drive they confirmed and said yes. I also went to the dealership and asked the service manager. When i told him that the camry has had a lot of problems with the sun visors breaking he said yeah they do but as of right now there is no recall on them so there is nothing they can do to help people get them fixed. |
