| Description of the problem | While driving our 2009 toyota camry se model that my wife drives 95% of the time, i was being annoyed by the driver side visor droping down and obstructing my view, it would not stay fully up, in asking my wife about this she responded it has been that way for a while but is getting worse, and she mentioned the passenger side is very difficult to pull into the down position and then back up, stopped using it because she did not want to break it. I ordered thru the dealer the driver side visor and weeks after i am told it is in back order and not available at this time. I wonder if toyota is using there available stock for those consumers that take it in for dealer repair/replacement at a cost to the consumer, as i have read in some of the complaints. What am i to do ? Any suggestions ? Help !!!! I dont want to wait for a accident to happen. |
