| Description of the problem | Both the driver and passenger sun visors became inoperable in a relatively short period of time -- first the passenger side failed at about 39k miles and then the driver side at 42k miles. The mechanism inside the visor that makes it stay up or keep it in a fixed position appears to be defective. This part broke which caused the visors to hang down with no support. The driver side visor failed on me while driving on the freeway which created a dangerous situation as it hung loose and blocked my visibility. The visor would not stay up; i had to hold it up with one hand as i drove with the other until i could find a safe place to pull over. |
