| Description of the problem | The visor on the drivers side does not stay up and comes down during driving and creates a safety hazard where it blocks our view when driving. There are several complaints on the internet of this issue with several toyota models (rav4, highlander etc.), yet toyota has 'not' issued a recall on this serious defect and safety issue! I have already had to take my toyota in for 4-5 recalls on other issues since i bought the car in 2007! Toyota needs to address this visor issue immediately! |
