| Description of the problem | While vehicle was under extended warranty, and at approximately 60,000 miles the driver side sun visor failed to stay in its stowed/raised position. Driver side visor would drop rapidly into field of view unexpectedly and at the slightest road vibration as we traveled along. Months were spent driving with left hand occupied as a tool to hold the defective visor up and out of visual field. While hands and complete attention are needed for safe vehicle operation, managing a faulty sun visor to maintain full view of road details is a serious distraction. Distracted driving is recognized/documented by a multitude of accidents, often of deadly consequence. The defective driver's visor was replaced at our expense, no warranty, however, failed in the same irritating and dangerous manner in less than two years. For safety sake i'll most likely remove the defective visor and toss to trash before a third visor is purchased with same dangerous, visual-obstructing, built-in malfunction. |
