The driver's side sun visor made a cracking noise, and then came down, and stayed in the down position, causing us to have to bend our heads down to see out the window and enduring the visor hitting us in the face and head. Two days later while lowering the passenger side sun visor, the entire thing, with the clips fell to the floor. Toyota refuses to do anything about this. There should be a recall, as this is a safety issue-because even wearing sun glasses there is a lot of glare. When the first one broke, I went to the dealer(penn Toyota, roslyn NY) who told me that the car is no longer on warranty-3 years, 36,000 miles which is technically true as the car was bought in may 2008, but has 33,000 miles, and that the repair would cost $150. 00. I didn't do it there, but instead brought the car to my own mechanic, railroad auto care in syosset, where it also cost $150. 00. The passenger side visor has not yet been fixed-I have to decide what to do. $300 for two sun visors is a lot of money. Please order a recall-the mechanic says that the clips that hold the sun visor are of poor design, and the dealer's he has spoken with are seeing a lot of this problem. This should be subject to a recall. Updated ivoq 11/29/11.
The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. While driving at any speed, there is a glare in the rear window that hinders the contact's visibility. She called the manufacturer and was informed that it was not a vehicle safety defect, but rather a design flaw. The contact purchased some black fabric and laid it across the inside of the window, which remedied the failure. The failure mileage was 800 and current mileage was 1,000. Updated 6/16/08 updated.
