| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota rav4 4 wd. I was checking recalls and decided to read complaints.. I was amazed to find out about the drivers side visor. That doesn't stay up.. We have this same problem. I don't know when this happened, but within this past year or so. It will not stay up. It is a safety issue, i am short so its down, but , my husband who is tall creates a problem with him. I thought it was kind of funny that, it was just our car, that maybe my husband had done something, when he moved it.. Until i read all the complaints about the same thing. Than when we took the car for our regular maintenance, to the toyota dealer, he said it would cost 125. 00 dollars to fix it. , he said it was a mechanism inside the arm holder. My husband declined at that time. Now after reading the complaints, i now know it wasn't' just our car. I believe toyota knows this and because it is a hazard they should fix it. Its ironic that the 2007 rav have this same problem. Pleaser have them fix it. Thank-you |
