TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH HE LOST POWER STEERING. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE RACK AND PINION, AND ELECTRICAL MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 61,000.

VISIBILITY
DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING STRAIGHT DOWN, AND CAUSES NEARLY NO VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE '02 HIGHLANDERS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *JB
