| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The drivers side sun visor failed to stay in place after owning the car for approximately 5 years. The visor will not stay up or in any locked position and is very distracting, i have had to pin it up to keep it from falling. It seems as if there is no recall on this nor are toyota dealerships replacing them for free. Would be nice if toyota would fix this due to the visibility and distraction this causes while driving. After removing, i noticed that the hinge is very tight which caused the plastic visor to break. I ended up buying a new visor online and install manually. I have loved my toyota and now am very disappointed about this defect. |
