| Description of the problem | The driver's side sun visor will not stay up. Repeated attempts to get the local toyota dealer to fix the problem resulted in them saying that it is not covered by the warranty. This is a safety issue. The visor could fall enough to block the driver's vision. Also, in the event of an accident the driver's forehead would be propelled into the edge of a sun visor that is partially down causing a possible serious head injury. This issue should be a safety recall. |
