Driver side visor keeps falling down and blocking view and will not stay in upright position. Other drivers report same issue with this rav4 -2004 and beyond model year. Not a recall item and wonder why not?

Sun visors keep falling down. Removing them permits too much sun glare & impairs visibility, even with sunglasses. Leaving them all the way fallen down greatly restricts visibility. This is a problem long-addressed by toyota owners. This occurred in 2012 - present. No responsibility taken by toyota. Need visors that work properly. *tr

Sun visor won't stay in the up position causing a safety problem by restricting visibility. It also something to hit your forehead on as i did recently during a quick stop. The visor also can't be used correctly for sun since it won't position correctly. It a known defect on my rav4. *tr

The driver's side visor will not stay up which limits visability. I had it changed once under warranty and it happened again recently. Toyota admitted this is a safety issue but will not fix it for free.
