Description of the problem | Driver side sun visor would not stay up all the way, obstructing view. Car is not old enough or driven hard enough for such a common component to fail so quickly. It's not a cheap fix - dealer quoted me $174 though there are some youtube videos that show how to buy the part and fix it yourself. Having read about other rav4 owners with the same issue, it seems like a toyota quality control issue. |
