What owners wrote
On 6/11/12 as I was driving, the driver side visor dropped suddenly as I was braking, my forehead slammed into the edge of the visor. My glasses protected my eyes, but my forehead is sore and tender. The visor no longer stays in the "up" position and "flops" down at an angle. This is dangerous, my visibility is constantly blocked. The visor wasn't in use, it just broke. I secured the driver's visor with tape. Today, june 12, 2012, I drove my son. He was in the passenger side when the visor on that side broke.
