| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Driver visor, after it is extended to the side, does fall and sag further than it should, covering a lower portion than normal of the side driver window. Visibility to the side is greatly reduced; it is almost impossible to see traffic approaching perpendicularly from the left side, and i am a relatively short driver. Toyota says this is a known issue and even had a 7 year warranty extension called customer support program ztt. This problem is now evident in my car, which is 7. 5 years old, and toyota refuses to cover it. I understand this is a safety issue and that 7 year warranty extension was just a cheap substitute for what should be a recall. There are plenty of videos and pictures of this issue that can be searched online |
