| Description of the problem | It was a bight sunny afternoon when i was driving my new 2019 jeep home from the dealer, with only 39 miles on the motor, i pulled down the sun visor while driving to block the sun... The visor fell out of the mounting bracket, hanging by the wire connecting the lights for the mirror, blocking about 3/4 of the windshield, and obstructing my view while driving 100%. I was able to pull over & push it back into the mounting bracket, only to have it fall out when hitting any bump, no matter the speed. It even fell down when going over a speed bump in the parking lot i had pulled into at less than 5 mph. The same thing happened to the passenger side visor after having the driver's side replaced by the dealership. I had read about this same complaint on the nhtsa 's website. Not sure how this isn't a recall given the driver's view being obstructed 100% without warning. The dealership didn't seem to surprised by this defect, and said it was "common"... Hello?!?!? |
