| Description of the problem | The driver side visor will not go down all the way (against the windshield) and neither will it stay up (against the car interior ceiling). When it flops down it obscures visibility into the rearview mirror as well as out the windshield. There is no anticipating when it will come down. The only way to get it out of the way is to push it against the driver side window, thus obscuring that view and providing no protection against the sun's glare when needed. I have read countless accounts of this same situation among owners of this same vehicle. I have read that some part of the visor is defective and has been redesigned. This is an unsafe situation which toyota has, in my opinion, admitted there is a problem. I resent having to spend the money to replace this part myself but i will have to. I hope i can before something happens. |
