2017 Toyota Highlander Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“I am experiencing excessive amounts of glare from the windshield. The vehicle was purchased new in may of 2017. I initially had tint applied to the windshield for medical reasons and thought maybe it was causing an interaction with the glass itself. After having the tint removed, I am still experiencing this excessive glare.”

“I was driving home from work and hear a loud exploding sound from my vehicle. I thought something extremely heavy was thrown or fell on my car. When I arrived home, I found a gaping hole on my sunroof. The glass was shattered but the object that hit it was nowhere to be found. After closely examining it, it doesn't make sense that an object hit it based off the angle the sunroof metal. The metal looks like the explosion came from inward not outward.”

“The bulky side mirror on the driver's side creates a safety hazard when making a left hand turn because of a large blind spot. I was involved in an accident due to that very reason. I was making a left hand turn as described above. I checked for oncoming traffic several times and turned when I saw traffic was clear. I was hit on the driver's side because my visibility was blocked by the mirror and the oncoming vehicle was not seen.”

“Bought this 2017 Highlander brand-new from the dealer. It had 67 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 bought a new 2015 Highlander from the same dealer and had the exact same problem after just a few thousand miles. …”

“Vehicle sustained a crack from two small stones hitting the windshield while traveling on a highway at approximately 55 MPH. Crack spread significantly from the initial impact site. Weather did not have a factor in this as it was summer. Crack continued to spread even after the vehicle was parked in a garage. Crack spread with very little pressure applied to the windshield. Believe that the windshield was not manufactured to sustain a light impact.”
