2015 Toyota Highlander Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“I purchased this car 7-31-2015, by 8-3-2015 I noticed the windshield and passenger side windows looked badly pitted. I called the dealership and on 8-7-2015 took it in. They said it was pitch from a tree and agreed to detail it to remove the sap. I picked it up the same day. That was not the problem as the windows are still showing prisms when light comes through. …”

“I was driving down a feeder road of the interstate ~50mph. There were no other cars around me and the sunroof exploded. I pulled over and the remaining glass was clearly pushed outward, not inward.”

“The vehicle's side mirrors are placed so that they block visibility for a short person. I am just under 5'4 and when at a four way intersection, the mirrors directly block the view of where a car would be stopped to the left and to the right. I actually was involved in a minor collision where I did not see the other car stopped at the stop sign to my left although they claimed to be. Now I always need to move my head to get a clear view of the road area next to the the stop signs to the left and to the right.”

“Bought this 2015 Highlander brand-new in january 2015 from the dealer. It had 476 miles on the odometer. Within a few thousand miles, a stone chipped the windshield and within days the windshield was a spider's nest of spreading cracks all across up and down the windshield. I had this same issue with a brand new 2017 Highlander purchased from the same dealer. I believe Toyota slanted the hood of the vehicle down for better airflow and resulting mpg increase and in so doing, all road debris such as stones, are propelled up right onto the windshield and the stones smash the windshield. …”

“Both diver and passenger visors do not stay set. They move up when not expected and the sun is in your eyes especially in the mornings and evenings when the sun rises and sets!! Extremely dangerous!!! Dealer said it was normal. I highly disagree.”
