Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving the normal vibration of the vehicle causes the driver's side visor to fall down obstructing the view of the road. this occurs frequently especially if the road is uneven and on the freeway. the visor contains a factory garage door opener built in. i am 6'1" tall; thus, the view of the road is mostly obstructed. this first occurred as i was driving at freeway speeds, fortunantly i was not involed in an accident. if i was in heavy traffic there was a good chance of this causing an accident. i have contacted toyota requesting information on a quick fix, if applicable, and asked if they are willing to cover the cost of repairing the defect as the warranty of the vehicle has expired.
