| Description of the problem | Faulty 2007 toyota highlander sun visor. My driver side sun visor has fallen down, and wont tighten. The sun visor is too heavy for the rod it is suspended from. Currently, the visor has fallen in front of my line of vision which obstructs my view while driving. My wife as well as my young teen daughter has also complained and also states someday it may make them crash due to no visibility when it happens. This is definitely a safety hazard. There are numerous complaints that have been posted concerning toyotas defective sun visors on 2007 highlanders. How many more comments are needed before toyota will issue a safety recall on these sun visors? I hope it will be sooner rather than later, and before there is a tragic accident. |
