Consumer Description

This Is a volvo semi tractor 2021 the original sunvisor was removed from tractor. And an off brand replacement was installed which is substantially smaller by 4 inches on each side of visor + it's mounted in wrong direction making morning and evening's very difficult due too extremely bright glares from sun even head lights Led signage. It's a danger I don't like ! Bike lanes,people crossing the street, baby strollers etc. It's very unsafe for a semi tractor trailer. I would assume cutting an airline pilots visor would create the same blinding spot. Our shop would not change thee original so they found some little garage that need the business and they changed them. I do not want to be personally liable. I do believe it falls under 393.3. Are other hubs around the country refused to replace the original visors I called them to ask they said it's illegal and they will not remove original visors. I have drove for this company for 35 years no accidents and they suspended me for using a little piece of cardboard I had clipped on the visor to block the sun there is a camera and it was not blocked. This a major liability for me if involved in an accident it's o ly a matter of time before something bad will happen. I do not want to hurt anyone or myself with this dangerous situation. Thank you I have researched everything and have all the documents and the name of illegal installation company. I have been driving safely for years. This is a horrible way to drive 80000lbs leaning over arm rest or using pillar to duck from sun.Your help is vidal to safe trucking Thank you I can meet at an office and bring all documentation about this illegal act .Thank you
