The contact owns a 2005 Toyota rav-4. the driver-side visor will not stay secure in an upright position. As a consequence the visor will continuously fall down without physical manipulation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and a technician stated that it would cost $100 to replace the component. He then added that the failure was common for this model type. No repairs were made. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was 35,000.

RAV4 4-cyl

Sun visor is not padded! when it is left in the down position you bang your head on it when you enter. Previous Toyota rav 4 had a padded visor. This is a minor problem that could be cause serious injuries in an accident. I drove my previous rav 4 for almost 100,000 miles without ever noticing any problems. My new 2005 rav 4 is has a different "solid feeling" visor which you notice right away when you bang into it. Thought visors were supposed to be padded for safety reasons.
