| Description of the problem | Driver's sun visor has become loose - will not reliably stay in position when in any position except a fully upright one. When lowered to a shade position it will drop lower and block my driving view. This can happen slowly on a smooth road or suddenly when i hit a bump. I have had to use a temporary putty to try to keep it from flopping down. This is a constant problem. I have occasionally had to hold the visor in the needed position when the sun was shining in my face - thus illegally and unsafely driving with one hand. My dealer says it will cost around $400 to replace the visor, money i do not have. My full warranty had run out when this started and the partial warranty did not cover "accessories", which is what they claim this is. |
