What owners wrote

Dt: the windshield is distorted. The glass is wavy, and it is hard to see out of. The windshield the problem was with the outer sides of the windshield. The consumer noticed the problem about two weeks after purchasing it. This occurred on april 5, 2005. When the consumer went to two different dealerships, he was advised that every vehicle of that year, make, and model had the same problem. When he contacted the manufacturer, they said that they were made that way.

April 2005

When driving over a bump or driving on a bumpy road the driver's side sun visor falls or drops down unexpectedly. It appears that the visor is not tightly held by the bracket that it sits on. When this occurs, there is complete loss of vision through the front windshield. When driving at higher speeds (or any speed for that matter), this loss of vision might cause an accident if the visor is not raised up quickly enough.
