| Description of the problem | As i was driving, the driver's side visor became detached unexpectedly and blocked my vision. Because it was attached by a wire (for the lighted mirror), it was dangling and i had to hold it up with one hand while trying to drive to a safe location to park. It was extremely difficult to hold the visor high enough out of the way and be able to drive. This was a very dangerous situation, which could have caused an accident, especially if i had been traveling at a faster speed, or cornering. Recall these visors before someone is seriously injured! |
