2009 Toyota HIGHLANDER Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1032171
Internal NHTSA #	10559001
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2009
File date	01/10/13
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driver's side visor no longer stays up, so it has progressively dropped down to about a 30-45 degree angle toward the driver's head. This is a large safety hazard both for general visibility when driving and potential cause of injury to the head in the case of an accident. The vehicle was purchased certified used from a toyota dealership. Such a part should not become faulty just over 3 years from the time it was originally put on the market. The visor is not used aggressively or excessively. Both the dealership and toyota motors were contacted regarding this problem. Toyota advised this part was not covered under any type of standard warranty, despite the fact that it is a safety and visibility issue. Both parties were of no assistance and required owner of vehicle to pay for cost of parts and labor. Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter.
