| Description of the problem | The sun visor for the driver and passenger became loose at no fault to the consumers and it won't stay up. When my car was in warranty the dealer "fix" the problem but it broke again. This is extremely dangerous as it blocks my view because the sun visor keeps propping back down. When i ask the dealer to fix it again, they wanted 120 dollars to fix each sun visor! Reading other people complaints, it seems all the model of camry from 2007- 2011 have the same problems... Yet no fix from toyota. Toyota quality= declining. It seems like toyota and the dealership is making money off of defects and refusal to commit to quality control to sun visor. Reminds me and others of the "unintentional" acceleration that toyota refused to acknowledges that led to deaths and injury until the c. E. O of toyota got questioned by congress. Only then, toyota acknowledges the problem. In that case the acceleration would become "stuck" causing the car to accelerates. Last car i would buy from toyota until the problem is fixed free of charges to all customers. Honda, hyundai, ford, gm anyone? *js |
