| Component | VISIBILITY |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While attempting to use the sun-visor by pulling it down, the visor would not move, then made a popping sound. The visor then sagged, and will not return to the upright position. After research, i see that there have been many other similar complaints, especially in states with hot/humid conditions, such as where i live (in mississippi). The visor will not stay in any position except straight down, and impedes visibility, and becomes a hazard when getting into the vehicle. |
