The sun visor repeatedly flops down obscuring the driver's view. The visor will not stay in the "up" position. Also when entering the vehicle, if the visor is in the vertical position, i.e. Not up where it should be, the driver will hit his/her head on the edge of the visor. This issue is not new to this vehicle, there has been a recall for earlier year models as well as other toyota models as well.

The driver's side visor no longer stays up, so it has progressively dropped down to about a 30-45 degree angle toward the driver's head. This is a large safety hazard both for general visibility when driving and potential cause of injury to the head in the case of an accident. The vehicle was purchased certified used from a toyota dealership. Such a part should not become faulty just over 3 years from the time it…
