| Description of the problem | Driver side sun visor will not stay up. Flops down unexpectedly and obstructs driver's vision of the roadway, overhead road intersection traffic lights, vehicle being followed, pedestrians in the vicinity, etc. Condition started on the "approximate incident date" and continues intermittently while vehicle is in motion. Brought to dealer and complained that condition is a safety issue and possibly a design defect but repair/replacement charge was astronomical. Requested dealer to remove sun visor instead. Broken part is with owner. |
