DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT HOLDING ITS POSITION AND HAS BECOME A HAZARDOUS SINCE IT BLOCKS NORMAL VISIBILITY WHEN DANGLING. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. UNDER NORMAL TO LIGHT USES THE INSIDE MECHANISM BROKE. 2007 MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR EARLY BREAKDOWN. BUT 2011 MODEL I BELIEVE HAS SAME PARTS BUT WAS NOT RECALLED OR FIXED. TOYOTA IS PROVIDING CHEAP QUALITY PARTS AND PUSHING THE BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER. THIS CONDITION IS SUBJECT TO HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY TOYOTA. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND MAKE TOYOTA TO RECALL THIS PARTS.

APPROXIMATELY ONE AND 1/2 MONTHS AGO (MAYBE LONGER?), THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTING TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I MOVED IT UP (CLOSED) AND DOWN (OPEN). TONIGHT, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND WAS BLOCKING MY VIEW. I COULD NOT MOVE IT TO THE SIDE TO GET IT OUT MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP THE REST OF THE WAY HOME IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD SAFELY. I ENDED UP REMOVING IT COMPLETELY WHEN I GOT HOME IN ORDER TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I HAVE NO SUN VISOR. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CA, DRIVE EAST IN MORNING & WEST IN THE EVENING. I HAVE TO REPLACE/REPAIR THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IT HAD ONLY BEEN ABOUT 1 OR 2 MONTHS SINCE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ONE DAY WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THE COVER OF THE SIDE DRIVER AIR BAG WAS HANGING. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT BACK. THEY BASICALLY GLUED IT BACK. THIS HAPPENED ANOTHER 2 TIMES BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T A DEFECT. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE TEXAS HEAT. THE COVER IS SUPER GLUED ON BUT WHEN I GO THRU A ROUGH ROAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON PERMANENTLY.
