| Description of the problem | Almost had a car accident when the driver side sun visor dropped during a turn on a 5-way intersection. The driver side sun visor does not retain its closed position. It keeps falling down when driving over small bumps. The sun visor hinders visibility and scope / range of the driver? S view. Proper visibility was compromised by this defective visor and this is a significant safety concern for vehicle operators. This gravely presents a safety issue for the driver, passengers, and other drivers on the road to include bystanders. This is obviously and clearly a safety issue and presents immediate danger and recall action. Please don't let this become fatality statistics due to a small recall and correction! |
