Consumer Description

SUN VISORS SPLIT AT THE SEAMS, FALLS DOWN DURING DRIVING AND BLOCK MY VIEW. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR HAD 1059 MILES, EVEN THOUGH I RARELY USE THE VISORS. THE DRIVERS VISOR WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME DUE TO THE CONDITION. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED AGAIN AT 3725 MILES TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER VISORS. MY DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAZDA IS WORKING ON IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY NEW VISORS HAVE NOT YET BEEN REPLACED AS THEY HAVE BEEN ON ORDER FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. *JB
