| Description of the problem | The drivers side visor does not stay up.. At first it was slightly loose around 50k miles and then 70k the visor no longer stays up at all. I have actually hit my head on it a couple of times and it obscures my vision. I cannot believe this has not been recalled. Now i have to pay $100 to buy a completely new one. This is just an accident and a lawsuit waiting to happen. It looks to be a problem for a lot of toyotas. My fiance cant even drive it right now because he is taller than i am and cannot see out of it properly. Please recall this so it doesnt cause a tragedy at some point. |
