| Description of the problem | Sun visor will spontaneously fall down blocking visibility. The locking mechanism that allows the visor to stay in one place is defective and it is unable to hold the visor in the up position. This also creates a hazard getting into the car, as a taller individual inevitably will slam his head on the visor as it is always stuck in the down position. This happens both while stationary and especially while driving. This is an accident waiting to happen. |
