2004 toy 4runner. Drivers side sun visor is loose and "drops" into the drivers filed of view, especially for a tall driver like me. . . Leaning forward will allow the driver to hit head against it. This started a little while ago, and is now just ongoing.

The driver's side sun visor of my 2003 Toyota 4runner broke and hangs down, partially blocking my visibility. The plastic portion of the shaft the visor connects to is chipped and is not holding the visor in place.

The moon roof would not return to original position, had to buy a repair kit from Toyota, they know of this problem but would not fix it. Had to bring repair kit to a local body shop. Toyota knows of this problem, but does not think it dangerous enough to fix at their cost. Laid out 225. 00 to fix.
Both sunvisors have failed, they do not stay up or all the way down ,they must be held up with velcro straps.
The sun visor/vanity mirror of my 4runner continually falls into my field of vision due to being loose. Causes possible vision impairment for a couple seconds in addition to the concentration it takes to get it to stay again up near the roof.

-hatchback electronic closure fails for the second time within a one year period -replaced motor once because vehicle does not operate without--exhaust fumes come through the hatchback, unable to lock vehicle, lights don't automatically shut off, water during rain or snow gets inside vehicle, etc there is no manual over-ride to enable closing the hatchback there is no purpose for an electronic closing device--you still manually pull down the hatch, and once closed, the motor engages to latch it shut! the part wasn't covered under warranty, despite other hatchback complaints (poor aerodynamic design with lots of dirt thrown up on hatchback), so there have been issues with using the key lock, being unable to roll down the window, and now the vehicle is rusting around the window.
After about 12months of normal/ typical use, the sun visor (on the driver side) will no longer stay up; it constantly drops. This is a huge distraction and obstructs the field of view.
