"SUN VISOR FAILURE!" - DRIVER'S SIDE. JUST ANOTHER TO ADD TO THE NUMEROUS OTHER CONCERNED FAMILIES. NO HELP THROUGH TOYOTA MAIN SAFETY NUMBER AT 1-800-331-4331CASE #1604262701. VERIFIED WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. WHILE THERE IS A RECALL ON 2010-2013 HIGHLANDERS, ALL PRIOR HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT. AS OF THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, A LARGE AIR BAG RECALL, AMONG MANY MANUFACTURERS, IS TAKING PLACE. WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS: THE REMOTE POSSIBILITY OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT? (OR) DRIVER'S LOSS OF VISION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DUE TO A FAULTY SUN VISOR, WHICH MAY CAUSE AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOUND ONLINE ACROSS ALL MODELS. I ALSO FOUND THAT MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WERE REGARDING "SUN VISOR FAILURE." IN MY OPINION, SOMEONE MAYBE "ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. TOYOTA YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS.

STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2015 AND CONTINUING TO THIS DAY, THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REFUSES TO STAY IN THE FULLY UPRIGHT/TUCKED TO THE HEADLINER POSITION PRESENTING A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN TURNING LEFT, IT GETS DRAMATICALLY WORSE AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY VIEW, REQUIRING ME TO REMOVE MY LEFT HAND FROM THE WHEEL TO LIFT THE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY AND COMPLETE THE TURN ONE HANDED. THIS IS SITUATION IS UNSAFE ON A MULTITUDE OF LEVELS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA.
