NHTSA Complaint #10745188 — 2007 HONDA ELEMENT

IN 2009, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA ELEMENT WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING EAST IN THE MORNING, WHERE I NEEDED TO PUT DOWN THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR. IT WAS EXTREMELY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO MOVE. I HAD NEVER NEEDED TO PUT IT DOWN BEFORE. I MOVED IT AS GENTLY AS I COULD, BUT THE MANUFACTURER MADE IT SO STIFF IT SNAPPED IN HALF. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, IT JUST HUNG DOWN. I TRIED SOME VELCRO, BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX IT. THE VISOR STILL IS IN THE DOWN POSITION. IF IT'S DOWN AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, I OFTEN CAN'T SEE. WHEN IT'S DOWN AGAINST THE DRIVER'S WINDOW, I CAN'T SEE. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE WHEN TRYING TO SEE ANYTHING. THE ELEMENT HAS SEVERAL BLIND SPOTS AND THIS ADDS TO IT! HONDA WANTS TOO MUCH MONEY FOR A REPAIR THAT THEY SHOULD COVER UNDER A RECALL. ON A WEBSITE CALLED ELEMENTOWNERSCLUB.COM, SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL, AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE?
