Description of the problem	The drivers sun visor broke when put down and the result was a visor hanging down in front of the drivers to totally block her vision. Fortunately car was not in a turn or stopping for traffic as this would have caused a crash. This was a sudden and disconcerting failure. Other such failures have been reported on the www. Rx8club. Com website. I returned vehicle to dealer who called the manufactures representative who refused to replace the visor even though the car has 5800 miles on it and is only 11 months old and covered under a 4 year warranty. I suggest strongly that a recall be made on the visors before someone get killed due to lost of vision. Also i am not able to drive my car safely because of the visor hanging down.
