Description of the problem	While driving down the road, the sun visor on the passenger side fell on its own, obstructing my view. When i pushed it back up it promptly fell back down - it would not stay in any other position but hanging straight down. I had to pull over and get a screw driver to remove the visor to keep it from obstructing my view. Now my driver side visor is starting to not stay completely up against the ceiling. This is a safety issue in two ways, one because it does not stay up and obstructs my view, and two it can not be used as a sun visor (as intended) to keep the sun from blinding me. My vehicle is only four-years old; i did contact the dealer and they told me there was no recall, and it is not covered as a safety issue. Since both of my visors appear to be bad, i believe there is a design flaw and a lot of vehicles will start having this problem.
