| Description of the problem | The sun visor on both sides have failed. The metal bracket inside the visor that provides friction to hold the visor up when not needed is held in place inside a glued plastic framework. The framework eventually suffers from fatigue and separates, causing the visor to drop down and block the driver's vision. Once it fails it will not stay up and is constantly causing a visual distraction for the driver. The same problem has been happening on several of the toyota models for the last ten years. It has happened onmy car twice, once at 43,000 miles and again at 57,000 miles. *tt |
