| Description of the problem | Starting in october of 2015 and continuing to this day, the sun visor on the driver's side refuses to stay in the fully upright/tucked to the headliner position presenting a visibility problem when the car is in motion. When turning left, it gets dramatically worse and completely blocks my view, requiring me to remove my left hand from the wheel to lift the visor out of the way and complete the turn one handed. This is situation is unsafe on a multitude of levels and needs to be addressed by toyota. |
