| Description of the problem | Drivers side sun visor broke about 3 weeks ago and and came off. Toyota advises so many are on back order that they cannot give me an eta. They are replacing for free because they have a defect. I was driving today facing the west with no sun visor to block the sun. I was driving approximately 50-55 miles per hour on a busy road. It was impossible to see when the sun suddenly hit me in the face, not once or twice but numerous times causing me to slam on my brakes because i did not want to cross the center line or hit an embankment or ditch. Toyota has known about the defect for nearly 7 years. |
