THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED TO SAG TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO. RECENTLY IT JUST HANGS DOWN IN THE DRIVER'S FACE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE STOWED POSITION. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH IT THAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK FOR A REPLACEMENT. I CALLED TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR'S VIN# FALLS OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS OF THE PROGRAM. THE COVERED PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY EXISTS ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AS YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE VISOR DOWN.

SUN VISORS IN NUMEROUS TOYOTA MODELS HAVE A DEFECT RECOGNIZED BY TOYOTA, HOWEVER ONLY CERTAIN MODELS ARE BEING COVERED UNDER THE "LIMITED EXTENDED WARRANTY". THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NOT MADE CLEAR OR PUBLIC TO THE CAR OWNERS, INSTEAD ONLY TURNING UP IN GOOGLE SEARCHES OF WHY THEIR SUN VISOR WAS FAILING. TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DEFECT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL IN THE EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN'S PROPOSED. THE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING INTO THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT AND WILL NOT STAY UP, CAUSING LIMITED VISION AND DISTRACTED DRIVING. IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN MY HOUSEHOLD AS WE ALL DRIVE TOYOTAS, TWO OF WHICH ARE CAMRY'S. I HAVE TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH MY HAND WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS TO SEE STREET LIGHTS, AND MY FIELD OF SIGHT IS GREATLY DIMINISHED WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IS STOPPED UNTIL I AM VERY CLOSE TO IT. DRIVING WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR UP IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL WITH JUST ONE HAND IN A DEFENSIVE SITUATION. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE YET TOYOTA STILL REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, ONLY "APOLOGIZING" AND CHOOSING TO COVER JUST ENOUGH CARS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS SITUATION IS LIKELY TO END IN A FATALITY DUE TO TOYOTA'S CARELESSNESS ON THIS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND SOMETIMES GOING IDLE DURING GEAR SHIFTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY DIDN'T NOTICE A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER THIRD PARTY MECHANIC DID. MAKES ME WONDER THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. THE THIRD PARTY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION GEAR ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER A LOT OF MONEY.
