The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Rav4. While driving 30 mph, the driver's side sun visor fell down into the driver's line of sight. The vehicle was taken to muller Toyota (2019 NJ-31, clinton, NJ 08809, (908) 638-4100) where the contact was advised that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The dealer stated that the sun visor was not a safety hazard. The manufacturer also stated that the failure was not a safety hazard and that the visor would not be repaired by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 75,000.
The driver's sun visor will not stay in the closed position & is constantly falling down, which obstructs my view. The attached photo shows the visor as closed at it will stay. I have contacted Toyota and they refuse to acknowledge the problem, despite the fact that on several message boards numerous owners report that this is a design flaw dating back to prior Rav4 generations.
Since previous recall remedy performed for the water diverter channel. In addition, a new wiper linkage with a wiper motor crank arm will be installed. The wiper linkage will have a protective cover over the wiper linkage joint to minimize water splash and a retainer ring to prevent the wiper arm from separating from the wiper motor. When raining water has been diverted into vehicle from behind glove box and leaks on floor mats and carpeting. Water is continuing to set on wiper assembly. Verified water not coming from mechanical malfunction or from windshield as this only occurs during raining periods since recall was performed.
Moonroof spontaneously exploded while sitting parked in driveway. Hole protruded outward which indicates build up of pressure and heat came from within the vehicle and not outside from foreign object. Engineers on abc also conclude the glass is defective and inferior to handle the pressure. This is a manufacturer defect.

Wind shield wipers dont work, and my passengers seatbelt light turns on and off when no one is seating in ' the seat.the car has "turned off while driving. Took it to the mechanic they changed the oil.
My driver side sun visor hangs down about 1.5 inch from the ceiling all the time. It does not stay up close to the top at all and it blocks my view. It is hard to see the traffic light with it hanging down so I have to hold it up with one hand while driving. I hit my head on it a couple of times while getting into the car. I called Toyota and they told me that there is no recall on sun visors for rav 4. I will have to get it fixed from the dealer who charges approx. $150. I came across multiple complaints about the same problem from Rav4 and Camry owners. This is a very serious issue and it can cause accidents and head injuries. Toyota had a recall on visors for Camry and not for Rav4. I am deeply disappointed that Toyota is not taking any action on this issue.
