Consumer Description

I WAS DONE SHOPPING AND STARTING THE CAR, THE SUN WAS IN MY EYES SO I PULLED THE SUN VISOR DOWN AND I HEARD A GRATING NOISE AND THE VISOR POPPED OUT OF THE CEILING AND HUNG BY THE WIRES, IT APPEARS THE PLASTIC PIECE IT SCREWS INTO SNAPPED IN HALF, I HAD TO HOLD THE VISOR WITH 1 HAND AS IT WAS IN MY LINE OF VISION AS I DROVE HOME. WHEN RESEARCHING FOR A NEW ONE I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND SOME EVEN HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, VERY DANGEROUS, THIS IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *TR
