The rear wiper quits working. Initially the dealership took it apart, cleaned it and it worked temporarily. But then the wiper quit working again. There appears to be a problem with the mechanism and/or rear window allowing in moisture for this to continue occurring, requiring the need to keep going in and cleaning it or having to replace it as some have reported which appears to be the point I am at the last time I took it in.

The eyeglasses holder in our 2012 toyota highlander has a malfunction of dropping down in front of the rearview mirror due to the loss of a small retaining pin. The issue causes a disruptive and very annoying safety hazard. Attempts to get the problem repaired have met with negative consequences as the local dealership mechanics and another dealership in springfield, missouri have came to the same conclusion, not repairable. We have tried to tape up the eyeglasses holder, but the tape will not stick due to the nature of the materiel. The situation becomes embarrassing when family and friends are in the vehicle and try to assist in keeping the holder up while the vehicle is in motion. However, without favorable results and continued nagging or complaining. We are hoping that this incident information will be sufficient in finding a positive solution. The timeline is approximate and could have been longer than marked because of being in plausible denial.

The sun visors are both broken and are a safety hazard. The drivers visor has been defective for time. The passenger visor just broke recently. This is a safety hazard and am surprised I have not received a recall notice. I have worn out lots of vehicles, but never the sun visors. I would appreciate your immediate attention as the situation is worsening. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
