As I am driving the sun visor falls down into my driving sight. The visor will not stay down or up. It just remains in my line of vision. It concerns me because it limits my visibility and the potential of causing an accident.
- Farmington , NM, USA
The driver's sun visor has been used infrequently, and is typically in tact. However, today when using the visor to block the sunlight the visor would not retreat back into position and kept falling down in an unsecured manner blocking my driving vision because it would not stay into place. Proper visibility was compromised by this defective visor and this is a significant safety concern for vehicle operators.

The driver side sun visor does not retain its closed position. It falls down during driving and hinders visto ability of driver to see. Clearly a safety issue and a danger during driving time to the driver and other vehicles close to the driver.
- Ranson, WV, USA
The other day I lowered the driver's side sun visor on my 2010 Toyota Highlander. When I tried to move the visor back to the up position I heard something pop or snap. As a result, the visor will no longer stay in the up position, unnecessarily obstructing my vision while driving. The service rep at the Toyota dealership told me the hinge was broken and that it will cost $300 (parts and labor) to replace the visor. When I checked the internet I learned that other people are reporting the same such problem.

The driver's side sun visor fell down while driving and now won't stay up. This almost caused an accident as my visibility was cut off. Now I am unable to drive unless I somehow prop it up. This car is less than 3 years old and seems to be a problem for many Highlanders. This is a serious safety issue.

The driver side visor will not stay in position and falls down obstructing driver's view of the road. The vehicle is well maintained. Based on an internet search, this appears to be an issue with other Toyota as well.
- Valencia, CA, USA
Driver side sun visor spring seems to be defective and the sun visor keeps falling down (does not stay in up position) blocking the visibility of the road. I called the dealer to verify if this was a recall issue and I was told that it is a common issue but not enough for a recall. The cost of replacing is an absurd!!!

The spring in the visor no longer works it is falling down in the sightline of the driver. After looking on line this looks to be a common problem with Toyota.

Drivers side sun visor drops down and will not stay in the up position obstructing my visibility.
- Middletown, DE, USA
When driving on freeway my visor was brought down and it hung well below its normal position. This obstructs my vision when driving. Also, the visor does not return to its normal position when not in use. It hangs below its normal position by about two inches.
