| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driver's side sun visor has been falling slightly from it's resting position on the headliner. on 4-20-07 the visor fell suddenly all the way downward and fully blocked my view of the road momentarily. i immediately went to my local toyota dealer for advise on this problem. he thought there had been a tsb on the visor but indicated that it was the lexus version that had the bulletin. i do not know this to be a fact. the new visor in my case is cost prohibitive at over 600.00. i am not a safety expert but this seems to be a slam dunk safety issue and not a "i want my visor replaced for free" issue. clearly a defect involving public safety. i suspect some accidents would get more attention-but why wait for one when this problem is so well documented? *jb |
