| Description of the problem | There is a recurring problem with driver side sun visor where it doesn't stay where i put it. It regularly slips down and at times blocks my view of the road. This is a known/recurring problem with many other owners of this vehicle make/model (based upon internet search of this issue). When the visor is placed over the driver door window, when i go around a corner (turn), the visor will rotate and hit me in the head, again distracting me from the road and forcing me to make regular visor adjustments again and again. The toyota dealership is aware of this problem; a recall has not been issued for this problem. |
