| Description of the problem | The sun visor will not stay in the up position. Toyota replaced the visors under warranty after the first occurrence. However, they are not staying up anymore. The drivers side visor falls down when driving creating a safety hazard. Both of them fall down at an angle which could cause head injuries during a crash. In doing an internet search, it appears this is an issue with many other highlanders. I went back to toyota and they would not replace it under warranty. |
