NHTSA complaint #10567246, filed 2014-02, 89,400 miles“Driver's side visor will not stay up. It also will not stay in place when pushed forward towards the windshield. The visor had been slowly dropping within 5 months. It is now at a 45 degree angle from the headliner and it is in my direct line of sight while driving. It is distracting while driving and obstructs my view which is a safety hazard. Why has this issue not been addressed? From the Toyota owner's forums that I have been reading, this is also been a problem with other years and models due to the ridiculously heavy visors.”
