| Description of the problem | Affected part: driver sun visor this is actually the second incident i've had with the visor. The first time was just a few months after purchasing the new venza. Toyota replaced the first visor because it was under warranty, but this is a widespread problem with not only 2009 venzas, but various toyota models. Toyota has only recalled the camry models. My vision is obstructed while driving due to the visor can not be pushed in the up position creating a safety hazard. Even though my original defective visor had to be immediately replaced, toyota wants to charge me for the repair. There are also petitions online requesting a recall for this part. |
