Visibility/Wiper
Driver side sun visor, won't stay up, blocks my view when i'm driving, have to duck down to see farther than the front of my rav4......it seems there is a lot of people this has happened to, that the sun visor gave out, i think this is a driving hazard, since it blocks a good portion of your view while driving.
