| Description of the problem | In less than a year after i purchased my vehicle the driver side visor started to fall and would not stay up. I purchased another driver side visor (about $85. 00). Later i received a letter about a recall on the visor. I still had my receipt at the time, therefore i submitted it for a refund. Well guess what, the replacement visor did not last long. It started to fall (2012) and for a while it would stay up when i pushed it back up, unless i hit a pothole or a bump. Now (2016) it will no longer stay up. I am not happy that i will need to spend estimate $85 for a third visor that will only last for how long? First time since i owned a car (this is my third car and first toyota. Last car i had for 14 years.) that i have had this type of non-mechanical problems with a car. I just had the glove compartment replaced (sept. 2017) because it would not stay closed nor would it lock. It just fell open while i was parked and would not close again. That cost me almost $200 to get the parts needed to fix it, because a replacement box from toyota cost was $600. |
