| Description of the problem | The sun visors are both broken and are a safety hazard. The drivers visor has been defective for time. The passenger visor just broke recently. This is a safety hazard and am surprised i have not received a recall notice. I have worn out lots of vehicles, but never the sun visors. I would appreciate your immediate attention as the situation is worsening. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
