| Description of the problem | Drivers side sun visor will not stay in place. The sun visor stays in the down position blocking my line of sight while driving. I had to velcro the sun visor to the headliner to prevent the sun visor from falling down. I disassembled the sun visor and found that the plastic arm inside the sunvisor was broken in half and that this is the reason for the sun visor to fail. I have 63,000 miles and the part is 3000 miles out of warranty. Researching on the internet i have found that this is a major complaint and so i'm reporting my broken sun visor to you. |
