Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT IS IMPAIRING MY VISION. IF I CAN GET IT TO STAY UP FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT FALLS UNEXPECTEDLY INTO MY VIEW, CUTTING OFF MY LINE OF SIGHT AND NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY REMEDY I CAN SEE IS TO REMOVE IT, BUT THEN I AM BLINDED BY THE SUN. I DRIVE WITH MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND FIND THIS TO BE QUITE DISTURBING WHEN IT HAPPENS. I BOUGHT THE HIGHLANDER BECAUSE OF ITS SAFETY RATING, BUT THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME, AND NOW THE VISOR JUST SWINGS IN FRONT OF ME WITHOUT STAYING UP OR FORWARD, OUT OF THE WAY. THE DATE REPORTED BELOW IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR
