The driver's side sun visor is not secure against the head liner when in the up position. On uneven pavement, the visor moves quite a bit. It appears as though it may drop down in front of the operator if a large enough bump in the pavement is encountered. The visor has been replaced twice and it is still necessary to insert a folded napkin/cloth between the visor and the headliner to keep it stationary. At this time the vehicle has 1375 miles on it.
The vehicle has been repaired 22 times. Issues ranged from computer to steering issues. On more than 1 occasion, the vehicle has been at the dealership being repaired for three weeks of more in a single month. During a recent road trip, the vehicle was hard to control on the road; the steering would difficult to keep the vehicle in the lane during turns, while on the highway and could not drive at highway speeds.
