My driver side and passanger visor do not stay up the driver side wouldnt stay up at all so I have had to remove it for safety reasons and the driver side is starting to hang this is a common issue from complaints I see
While driving on highway and going to adjust my visor the driver's side visor came apart and started to hang and falling in my vision. This is very dangerous while driving at high speeds and paying attention in traffic.
The dash is covered with a sticky substance. It was just an annoyance but now in the sunshine, it glares back on the windshield and is very hard to see. There has been more than once I have had to slow down or stop because I couldn't see.

While driving with sun shining into my eyes, I pulled down the sun visor but it broke and failed to stay in position any more. The sun visor just hang downward to block my vision and I had to use one hand to hold it up while driving. This is a big safety concern with the broken sun visor on the driver side. Driver have to hold the sun visor with one hand and leave one hand to drive. This impact the safety in driving.

I don't understand why I have to paid for manufacture defect. This is very dangerous your have glare on your glass. Please help. Thank you
The drivers side sun visor will not stay in its folded, up position against the roof of the car. It will fall down impeding my view of the road and traffic. No damage or misuse has occurred and the visor is rarely used. This is a potentially severe problem were the visor to fall at an improper time, e.g. when a vehicle breaks in front of me. I have two young children and this seemingly minor defect is putting multiple lives in jeopardy. Please remedy this situation.
Sun visor started falling down - could not make it stay up. Makes it hard to see at night. I fixed it so it would stay up but now can't move it down in bright sunlight. Very hazardous to be driving this way. I don't have money for the expensive repairs. Do you warranty this safety issue"?"
Vehicle was not in motion or turned on. Noticed the visor was down when I entered the vehicle and tried to push it back in the upright position and it kept falling-so finally got it to stick in the clamp so it would not fall out and without thinking I moved it to blocked the sun when I was driving and it blocked my view and fell off on this week. My car mileage is at 127,000 miles and I am going to call the car dealership on the next business day to see if there is a recall for this-it should be since this is definitely a driving hazard.
The windshield wipers have always left streaks on window passenger side hardly visible in snow and some heavy rain drives side barely does the job even after replacing with new wiper blades. Sun visors both quite holding position driver's side first then the passenger side a week later had to remove drives side it broke off of pivot pin and was hanging down blocking visibility. Very unsafe appears part failed inside visor.
Drivers side interior visor was pulled to "down" position, but the hinge broke leaving the visor hanging and obstructing drivers view. Visor had to be tapped to the head liner to allow driver to operate safely.
