What owners wrote

Both driver/passenger side adjustable sun visors broke while driving the vehicle, causing the visor to smack me in the face, and almost veering into another street lane without intention to do so. Now that they are both broken, it is ineffective to use in order to block the sun from blinding the driver while operating the vehicle. This presents a very unsafe driving condition, as they are constantly dropping from the fastening arm.

February 2023 Injury

The HVAC does not properly seal causing constant cold air to flow through the defroster. Being in florida, this causes the windshield to constantly fog up with condensation limiting my forward field of view. This happens more frequently at night and in the morning. It does happen throughout the day as well no matter what the conditions are outside.
