2002 Toyota HIGHLANDER Unknown Or Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	841228
Internal NHTSA #	10380288
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2002
File date	15/02/10
Component	UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driver's side sun visor does not stay in place. At first occurrence, the visor would slowly droop down with normal vibrations in the car and required repeated taping of the visor back into place with the driver's hand (a distraction and hazard as is). As time went on the visor loosened completely and does not stay up at all. This is very dangerous and distracting as it blocks full vision out of the windshield by the driver. This seems to be a defect of the visor itself by the manufacturer as it seems as if the visor is too heavy to stay in the upright position. This seems to be a common issue among this make and model and seems as if there should have been a recall regarding this issue long ago.
