    2002 toyota highlander - both driver and passenger sunvisors do not stay up. When placed in the upright position, the sunvisors release over any small bump in the road. *tr

    I have a 2002 toyota highlander that has a driver side visor that will not stay up and a passenger that pops down every time i hit a bump in the road. My dealer wants to split the cost which is over $600 (homelink version) and a less for the passenger side. This problem began 18 months ago when i had only 40,000 miles on the vehicle - just out of manufactures warranty - this also was not covered under my 100000 mile…

    Approximately six months ago i had a problem with my sun visor randomly flopping down as i was driving, and it would not stay in position when i tried to use the visor to block the sun. The dealer did replace the visor under warranty, but advised me that the part cost over $500 due to the "home link" system in the visor. The visor is once again starting to become loose, and will not stay in position up against the…

    Driver side visor will not stay in any tilted position after it has been pulled down from its resting "our of the way" position in the roof bracket. Because of the failure of the visor to stay in position it is no longer safe to operate the vehicle while using the visor as it obstructs the driver's view of the road. This condition additionally makes the vehicle unsafe to operate while driving in the direction of the…

    1. Regular driving causes the issue which seems to be due to poor product design. 2. The driver side sun visor does not stay in the upright position ever, and continuously blocks my clear view of the road. 3. The toyota dealer was informed and they did nothing to fix their inferior product. I have to purchase a replacement sun visor. *tr

    Driver side sun visor swings down from rest position to block view. We use visor normally until it suddenly gave up and did not stay in any position other than hanging straight down. We do not hang anything on the visor to cause a load. It just simply "hang loose" now. When i (male 5' 11") am driving, the visor would randomly and often flip down right in front of my eyes blocking my view. This would be an…

    2002 toyota highlander drivers side visor will not stay up. Many complaints about this issue. If you hit the even a small bump the visor falls down which in turn creates a viewing problem. One day there will be an accident caused by this problem. *tr
