My 2008 Highlander only has 130,000 miles, yet the driver's side visor drops and falls unexpectedly while driving, thus causing a driving safety hazardthe vehicle is accident free. I have codes check engine, vsc and trac off. Gas cap was replaced with new official Toyota matched part & system checked but problem found - this display light combination is common on Toyota around this time.. my gas mileage & acceleration performance is negatively affected. Inability to properly accelerate creates a danger for inability to avoid collisions.

When is there going to be a recall for the power windows"?" there was a recall for 2007 Highlanders- in 2012, 2 months before I complained to Toyota, they had no complaints !!this is a safety hazard, there are sooo many complaints. I currently have 2 windows that don't work, they were stuck in the down position, both of the motors have been disconnected. The 3rd window works when it wants to. My car currently has @ 88,000 miles. The visors don't stay up, another safety hazard !!! also way too many complaints.

The drivers side sun visor falls down whether in motion or stopped, it causes a blocked vision which can cause collisions.

Highlander 6-cyl

  • miles
Driver's side visor is broken and will not stay fully upright or fully down, it hangs midway blocking vision of traffic signals and upper field of vision, I have to hold the visor up with my hand to see traffic lights. I frequently bump my forehead into the visor when turning my head to look to the rear over my left shoulder as I am driving. I contacted my Toyota dealer, given a ballpark estimate of $300-500 to repair.

The sun visor on the rside will no longer stay up. It falls down and impedes vision. It will not stay up nor stay flush against the windshield either so it seriously blocks vision. It just keeps coming down and this can be dangerous while driving.
