| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This internet system is not the best form for this: the manufatcurer has replaced the sun visors once, but it doesn't help. the visor design is poor. they swing with great freedom & speed any time you round a curve or turn quickly, smackiong the driver in the head at the right height to knock off glasses or knock the brim of your hat across your eyes when you maneuver briskly. this is very distracting & can dangerously interfere with visability & control of the vehicle, causing accidents. we haven't had one yet.. the company simply replaced the original visor with an identical one, which soon had the same problem. the design is very poor (one of several very poorly designed items on this car). the shafts on which they pivot so rapidly & freely are hollow, to make space for the power cord for the **lighted mirrors(!!)** this is why it can't be tightened or adjusted & a new one is no better. the design needs to be changed, & these dip-brains who wasted my money on junk like lighted (double lighted) could spend the money on something useful, like outside rearview mirrors! thanx, bk. p.s. i may try to find a workable older one from a junk yard, if i get the time. |
