| Description of the problem | The driver's side sun-visor broke at the plastic hinge where it goes into the ceiling of the vehicle causing the sun visor to drop down and obscure my view of the road. This created a dangerous situation in which i could not see the road while driving. Even in the closed and stowed position, the sun visor periodically drops down obscuring my driving view. This is quite dangerous in that i cannot see the road for a few seconds and am distracted while re-stowing the visor. |
