Visibility
While driving the vehicle, the sun visor on the drivers side flips down, blocking the drivers view. The visor can be returned to the up (out of the way) position. However it repeatedly and spontaneously slips down, both blocking the drivers view and creating a constant distraction for the driver. This is dangerous and a severe driving hazard. *tr

I have been stopped by the police several times not knowing that the lights have gone out. There…

2005 prius headlights leveler causing headlights to lock into one position. This vehicle locked in lower position creating very poor visibility. Thinking that if this was to lock in upper position it would be blinding driver in the oncoming vehicle. This should be always on recall if problem persists. *tr

The automatic dimming rear-view mirror in my 2005 toyota prius dims randomly. It has supposedly been replaced by the dealer with no noticeable improvement. It responds to blue-tinted (whiter) headlights, but does not dim when a standard yellowish headlight is shining into the mirror. This is extremely dangerous and distracting. *jb
