Description of the problem | The drivers side sunvisor started to drop down and will not stay in the up position. We (hunband and sons) have all hit our heads on the on this dangling sunvisor several times. The frame of this sunvisor is very hard and it almost gave me a headache. My a the drives head is hit hard enough during a sudden stop this thing could knock the drive out cold. My husband and two sons who are a little taller than i, they have a difficult time seeing out of the front windshield because the visor will not stay up or back againt the windshield. The broken brackett in the sunvisor could cause a serious accident. I have researched sunvisors on the toyota vehicles and found there has been several unanswered complaints about the sunvisors. |
