| Description of the problem | While driving down the highway, the driver's side sun visor fell down and obstructed view of the road. When attempting to push visor back up out of my line of sight, it would not stay in the proper position to block sun and to where it did not obstruct view of the road. The visor will either stay all the way up against the ceiling or all the way down almost parallel with the windshield. There seems to be some type of spring or piece of material broken inside visor causing it to malfunction. This is very annoying and very unsafe. |
