Again, luckily, there was a snow bank in front of…

The driver's side visor no longer stays up securely. It will sometimes remain propped up until it falls down just going over a slightly uneven road service. It startles the driver and sometimes blocks the driver's vision depending upon the grade of the roadway. Toyota charges a ridiculous amount to repair it
