| Description of the problem | Driver side sun visor blocks vision while driving due to visor sagging down from it's non-use state. The spring or mechanism in the sun visor won't keep the visor in the non use position. This has to be a recall / defect because this is happening on my current 2012 rav4 and also my previous rav4 that was a 2007 model year. Sun visor is dangerous due to blocking view and or when braking your head will hit the visor as well. See more info in these threads: https://www. Rav4world.
