| Description of the problem | While driving at approx. 45 miles per hours the sun driver's side sun visor suddenly lowered from the "up" position, completely blocking my view of the road in front of me. This problem persisted intermittently then the visor would not stay in the "up" position at all. I had to remove the visor in order to see, but i am then blinded by the sun at times creating an equally dangerous situation. I have read several online forums and this is an ongoing issue that needs to be fixed. There is no fix for the visor, just a forced replacement at $300. 00. |
