| Description of the problem | Driving on highway exit ramp into the setting sun when my drivers side sin visor flopped down in front of me. It had broken loose from the upper holder evidently and was dangling by the two vanity mirror wires. I was able to pull to the side of the ramp without being hit, but not sure how. I notice that there are several complaints lodges for this exact situation, but no recall has been ordered. This is most certainly a safety issue. |
