    There is a known defect in toyota highlanders (2010 - 2013) sun visors. The visor no longer stays in either the upright or downward position. It is either at a 45 degree angle when placed in the "up" position or is in a position to slightly obscure visibility in the "down" position.

    My driver side visor lost all tension. I had to either hold it up or tie it out of the way. I had it replaced at lowe toyota in warner robins, ga for $199.87. I would not expect a visor to tear up even for a 2011 model. It was a safety issue that needed to be fixed. I think there should be a recall on these visors and reimbursement for replacing them. Thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of…

    I have a 2011 toyota highlander. The drivers side sun visor has broken from its internal guide on the visor, making it unsafely and uncontrollably flip & flop around. I have been trying to get a replacement, but the dealer told me there are more than 200 on backorder, and it could take one or more months to get a replacement. Further research shows previous recalls on toyota sun visors. So, with more than 200…

    For no reason at all my sunvisor on the driver's side will not stay up. It is very distracting trying to drive with it half way down and obstructs my vision. I have not yet put it in the shop yet so don't know how much it will cost to fix it, but it has to be fixed. It is driving me crazy! *tr
