| Description of the problem | On may 22, 2015, when i got into my car, the sun visor was down. I tried to put it back into its proper place, but it would not stay up. No matter what i tried, it kept flopping down, obstructing the view when driving. If i push it forward toward the front window, i can see better, but still i don't have maximum visibility. It flops back down at times, totally blocking my view of the road and the review mirror. This is a definitely safety hazard and if authorities were aware, i would probably be given a citation for driving an unsafe car. When it flops down and obstructs view of the rear view mirror, the only way i can see what is behind me is by using the side view mirrors which takes longer and, therefore, could easily cause an accident. I find that many others have filed complaints about the sun visor problem, yet toyota continues to deny responsibility. If this is the way toyota stands behind their cars, i need to return to nissan for my next car. |
