| Description of the problem | 2001 toyota highlander drivers side sun visor does not stay in place, and falls down into drivers field of vision unexpectedly passenger side visor does the same thing, but to a lesser degree. This began after we owned the car for five years(out of warranty) and is a constant problem, and i feel the dealer should correct this problem. The consumer(s) should not be expected to pay upwards of $800 to fix such a simple problem, one that should not occur in the first place. I have owned more than twelve vehicles, and even the cheapest of those never had such a problem. Several highlander owners have told of the same complaint, and it is very frustrating. |
