| Component | VISIBILITY |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Both of my car visors have broken off. The first was replaced by the dealer because the car was under warranty, but this time i would have to pay for it because the warranty expired. This has happened to other people i know that has the same car. It is a manufacturing defect that poses a risk on the drivers. The visor stays half way, which affects the visibility of the driver. To be able to see, you have to manually move the visor back and forth while driving, which causes the risk to get into an accident. |
