| Description of the problem | Drivers side sun visor consistently falls down while driving. This happens approximately every minute-two minutes on smooth freeways and surface streets. When this occurs, it blocks half of your vision to the road. The first time it happened, i was driving on the freeway with my infant son. I feel that this is an extremely dangerous defect and, apparently, i am by no means that only one having this problem. To replace the part is almost $300 according to the dealer and, according to message boards, replacements have not bee working either. In arizona, there is no way to go completely without a sun visor, but having it flop down in your face each minute is unacceptable. Please do something about this. Thank you for your time! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. |
