| Description of the problem | Driver's sunvisor constantly falls way from glass and points almost straight down, blocking most vision of the road. Has been replaced 3 times since new (12/2006) under warranty, and now the 4th visor is failing. They only seem to last about 3-9 months before rod sleeve tension bushing wears out. I do not hang or clip anything to the visor. "date of incident" is not meaningful; blocked vision happens every day until i get a new sunvisor. This is on a lighted visor; it is not the visor with the toyota homelink feature. |
