| Description of the problem | The driverside sunvisor cracked during normal usage. This is after very low usage. The broken sunvisor would no longer fold up flush with the roof and will lower itself when going over bumps and potholes. This is a distraction to the driver at unexpected times and could drop to the point of blocking the vision of the driver for a short period until the driver lowers their eyes to see below the visor . The sunvisor was immediately replaced as it interfered with safe driving and it could not be repaired. *ln |
