Visibility/Wiper
I was driving home from work and hear a loud exploding sound from my vehicle. I thought something extremely heavy was thrown or fell on my car. When i arrived home, i found a gaping hole on my sunroof. The glass was shattered but the object that "hit" it was nowhere to be found. After closely examining it, it doesn't make sense that an object hit it based off the angle the sunroof metal. The metal looks like the…

The driver side sunvisor will not stay up out of place when not needed. When driver is driving especially if brakes are used the visor falls blocking view and is quite dangerous. Visor will not stay up.

Driver side sun visor stuck in down position, and will not move upward out of the way, obstructing driver's view. It can be moved to the side window, but then the side view is obstructed. I hesitate to try and force it up, because it feels like it would break and just flop around. Researching the problem, i have learned of many other owners of similar-vintage toyota highlanders who have experienced the same problem.…

At no time during my turn did i see the woman as she stepped in front of my car. Research of the 2014 highlander revealed many owners had difficulty seeing any object or person due to the blind spot of the left side mirror.…
