“The sun visor in my Venza broke and will not stay in the up position creating a visibility issue. Upon an internet search, I found this was a common issue with several Toyota models.

You don't realize how often you need/use it until you can't.”

“On 12/14/2018 I put my hand on the sirius/Toyota radio display and noted the screen was too hot to touch. The radio had been on for about an hour listing to satellite radio. This could be a vary serious safety hazard.”
