| Description of the problem | I am writing concerning my 2007 toyota highlander sun visor. My driver side sun visor has fallen down, and i see no way to tighten it up. It appears the sun visor is too heavy for the rod it is suspended from. Currently, the visor has fallen to right in front of my line of vision which obstructed my view while driving on several occasions, which was rather frightening. This is definitely a safety hazard. I saw online where over 2. 4 million toyota owners have posted comments concerning their defective sun visors. 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. |
