| Description of the problem | I bought a 2013 honda cr-v vehicle a few months ago. I have notice that the sun visors are too short. I had to come to a complete stop several times at sun rise and sun set because i was blinded by the sun. I have owned a honda van and a toyota care and never had this problem where i live. I called the honda dealer in frankfort, ky and they said no one else was having the problem. I call honda customer service (nation wide) and they said no one had reported the problem and wanted me to go back to the dealer in frankfort. I went on the internet and found other people have had the same problem and tried to use after market solution which is a visor extender. I am 5' 8" tall. I would need to be over 6 feet in order for the visors to be effective. It either a low seat problem or a visor problem. You don't notice this when you first drive the car. I would not have bought the car if i knew about this problem. This is definitely a hazard that should be checked out. |
