    The driver sun visor will not stay in the fully closed position. This creates a visibility problem for the driver. Also, with the resting position of the failed visor, if i were in an accident or sudden stop, the edge of the visor would impact the drivers head causing injury. The failed part is not covered under any warranty by the manufacturer and repair costs several hundred dollars. There are several examples online of other buyers of the same vehicle model experiencing…

    The driver side visor will not remain in the full upright position. When driving the vehicle I have hit my head several times due to the visor falling to a 45 degree position instead of remaining in the flat against the headliner. This requires constant adjustment while driving by moving to the side window, or moving back to the front windshield to avoid constant nuisance while driving. We have hit our head on the visor MANY times looking for traffic at a stop sign or when…

    While driving down the interstate at 70 miles an hour, the sunroof exploded. It sounded like a bomb. Glass went everywhere. I was nowhere near a tree and nothing fell on my car. The weather was beautiful that day and had been all week. Unless something fell from outer space, there is no way anything external caused it. It was absolutely random, terrifying, and expensive to fix. It rained the next morning and water got all into my electrical wiring which has now created a new…
