Consumer Description

I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT FORD HAS A PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OF ITS MODELS THAT THE SUN VISOR MIRROR POPS OUT WHEN YOU TRY TO USE IT AS A SHADE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A DRIVER WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO HAVE THIS SURPRISE DISTRACTION. MY WIFE ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT TAPED UP ON DRIVERS SIDE AND NOW IT HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. FORD WILL NOT REPLACE WITH ANY DISCOUNT LEAVING THE OWNER IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION. I GUESS ONCE SOMEONE HAS A WRECK MAYBE THEN FORD WILL DO A RECALL. *KB
