| Description of the problem | Sun visor failed and no longer will remain up. It is extremely loose and points directly downward. This is caused by a design and/or a manufacturing defect. It presents a safety hazard as the visor obstructs the drivers view. In as much as this problem is prevalent with this model vehicle and is costly to correct when the vehicle is out-of-warranty, it should be recalled or at a minimum be provided with a lifetime warranty by the manufacturer. My vehicle is still in warranty. *kb |
