Description of the problem	My toyota highlander on both the driver and passenger side sun visors drop down while driving. Research of this problem indicate others are having the same problem which potentially can cause an accident by blocking vision or disturbing the driver while driving. Notified toyota of the problem and got a very prompt standard customer service reply that the warranty has expired and basically it is your problem versus a potential design flaw that may have safety considerations and they at least could of provide assistance to correct the problem other than a replacement at $660. Even at that based on the internet that is not a permanent repair since it is a design flaw. Apparently this is also a problem with other toyota models.
