The front side window glass is inoperative due to broken window mounting tab. I had to disconnect the power to the window motor so it can't be used. As far as i'm concerned it's a safety issue if operated while driving, the window comes off track and gets cockeyed.

Almost had a car accident when the driver side sun visor dropped during a turn on a 5-way intersection. The driver side sun visor does not retain its closed position. It keeps falling down when driving over small bumps. The sun visor hinders visibility and scope / range of the driver?s view. Proper visibility was compromised by this defective visor and this is a significant safety concern for vehicle operators. This…

The driver's side sun visor will not stay up. Repeated attempts to get the local toyota dealer to fix the problem resulted in them saying that it is not covered by the warranty. This is a safety issue. The visor could fall enough to block the driver's vision. Also, in the event of an accident the driver's forehead would be propelled into the edge of a sun visor that is partially down causing a possible serious head…

The drivers sun visor has 2 stop points. One is supposed to be fully upright in the recess of the head liner. The stop point has moved so that the upper most point the visor will go is about 10% below level and right in the line of sight of the driver. This causes an unsafe condition in that the driver can not see the road or stop lights. I have run a red light because i can not see it. I have looked on all the…

The driver's visor broke. I put it down to block the bright sun here in the desert and heard a loud snap. The visor no longer has the ability to stay up or all the way forward. Resulting problem: 1. In the up position it will not fully retract into the roof visor pocket and hangs down about 2.5 inches from the car roof. Concerned the small edge would smack me right in the middle of the forehead if i was in an…

While driving down the highway, the driver's side sun visor fell down and obstructed view of the road. When attempting to push visor back up out of my line of sight, it would not stay in the proper position to block sun and to where it did not obstruct view of the road. The visor will either stay all the way up against the ceiling or all the way down almost parallel with the windshield. There seems to be some type…

As i am driving the sun visor falls down into my driving sight. The visor will not stay down or up. It just remains in my line of vision. It concerns me because it limits my visibility and the potential of causing an accident.

The driver's sun visor has been used infrequently, and is typically in tact. However, today when using the visor to block the sunlight the visor would not retreat back into position and kept falling down in an unsecured manner blocking my driving vision because it would not stay into place. Proper visibility was compromised by this defective visor and this is a significant safety concern for vehicle operators. *tr

The other day i lowered the driver's side sun visor on my 2010 toyota highlander. When i tried to move the visor back to the up position i heard something pop or snap. As a result, the visor will no longer stay in the up position, unnecessarily obstructing my vision while driving. The service rep at the toyota dealership told me the hinge was broken and that it will cost $300 (parts and labor) to replace the visor.…

The driver's side sun visor fell down while driving and now won't stay up. This almost caused an accident as my visibility was cut off. Now i am unable to drive unless i somehow prop it up. This car is less than 3 years old and seems to be a problem for many highlanders. This is a serious safety issue. *tr

The driver side visor will not stay in position and falls down obstructing driver's view of the road. The vehicle is well maintained. Based on an internet search, this appears to be an issue with other toyotas as well. *tr

Driver side sun visor spring seems to be defective and the sun visor keeps falling down (does not stay in up position) blocking the visibility of the road. I called the dealer to verify if this was a recall issue and i was told that it is a common issue but not enough for a recall. The cost of replacing is an absurd!!! *tr

I purchased this 2010 toyota highlander new. At 45,000 miles, the driver-side sun visor failed to remain in the upright position. It continues to fall and block the driver's view when driving. Even though the vehicle was within the 50,000 mile warranty period, the dealership said the sun visor is not covered under the warranty. I new visor is over $200. I used to work for the toyota at the headquarters located in…
