| Manufacurer | Toyota Motor Corporation |
| Brand | TOYOTA |
| Model | RAV4 |
| Model Year | 2007 |
| File date | 01/08/14 |
| Component | VISIBILITY/WIPER |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The driver's side sun visor no longer stays in place when stowed and instead droops down at approximately a 40 degree angle. This impairs driver's visibility as it falls squarely within the driver's field of vision. It also becomes a distraction in that the driver is constantly pushing the visor back into place, to no effect. The problem is impaired visibility due to a failing part. This is a well documented issue for toyota and yet toyota refuses to correct this obvious safety issue. |
