| Description of the problem | Driver side sun visor no longer stays in up position, drooping down into field of view. It appears there has already been a recall for this but only for southern and western states. This is a known issue and it is easy to find multiple complaints on line about this issue. Clear safety issue that should not be limited to only southern states and low mileage vehicles. |
