Recently reported VISIBILITY/WIPER problems on 2005 Toyota Highlander

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 toyota highlander. the contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the entire sunroof separated from the vehicle. the contact mentioned that the area was completely rusted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 197,000.

Hewllo my complaint is about the drivers side sun visor.it wont stay up and hasnt for about a year. i have read that a lot of highlander owners are having this problem and it makes it very hard to see.a new costs about 175.00!

Driver's side sun visor falls down, won't stay up, and obstructs view while driving. *tr

Drivers side sunvisor will not stay up, it just falls down and blocks drivers view any time and at the worst time! now it will not stay up! *tr

The driver's side visor drops down randomly and obstruct my vision. i have had many near accidents due to this problem. *tr

The driver side visor is drooping more and more. now it is partly in my line of sight (i'm 6'3") and when i hit a bump it drops down even further and blocks about half of my vision out the windshield. very dangerous. before i start driving, i can gently raise it and slowly let it drop to where it stops where it only partially blocks my vision. as long as i can avoid bumps/potholes, it will stay but it doesn't take much of a bump to knock it loose to where it drops down further and becomes a safety hazard by blocking too much of my vision. this started some years ago and has steadily gotten worse.

The driver side sun visor does not stay in place when it is all the way up. because of the inherent design problem and possibly because of weight and or vibration of the visor it falls down may be up to 30 degrees. there are two possible consequences of this issue: 1. safety issue: it partially blocks the vision of the driver on the road while driving which is dangerous. 2. physical injury: while the driver is exiting out of the car or when the driver moves his head forward, there are chances that he/she may bump their forehead to the visor. *tr

Driver's side sun visor falls down, obstructing view, unpredictably, despite having nothing on it. *tr
