2009 Toyota Venza Visibility

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA VENZA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DETACHED AND HINDERED THE CONTACT'S VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY: LAST YEAR (2003) THE LEFT SUN VISOR (DRIVER SIDE) FELL STRAIGHT DOWN BLOCKING VISION DURING TRAVEL. I ALREADY PAID $100 + TAX TO REPLACE IT. NOW ON NOVEMBER 2014, THE RIGHT SUN VISOR (PASSENGER SIDE) IS BROKEN. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE, BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS VISOR AGAIN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY. THE VISOR APPEARS TO HAVE SEPARATED, ALLOWING THE BRACKET TO SHIFT TO OUTSIDE OF THE VISOR. THE RESULT LEAVES THE VISOR HANGING STRAIGHT DOWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA VENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE VISOR CONTINUOSLY DROPPED, BLOCKING THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

THE SUN VISOR POSITION RETAINING CLIP SEPARATED FROM THE PLASTIC MOLDING AND THE VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN UP. THE VISOR IMPEDES VISIBILITY TO THE FRONT. IT CAN BE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY TO THE LEFT BUT THAT PARTIALLY BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE SIDE MIRROR. SINCE THE VISOR IS FREELY SWINGING SOMETIMES IT STOPS TILTED TOWARD THE DRIVER. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THIS COULD RESULT IN HEAD INJURY. THE LOSS OF VISIBILITY TOWARD THE FRONT IS SIGNIFICANT FOR DRIVERS WITH A HIGHER SEATING POSITION. FROM SEVERAL FORUMS THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE FROM AT LEAST THE 2008 TO 2010 TOYOTA MODEL YEARS ACROSS ALL MODELS. *TR

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA VENZA, AND I AM UPSET THAT TOYOTA NO LONGER INSTALL EXTENDERS ON THE SUN VISORS. THE SUN IS HITTING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER IN THE EYE, AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN TO BLOCK OUT THE SUN IN MANY INSTANCES, THIS IS MOST ANNOYING & UNSAFE. *TR
