AFTER ABOUT 6 WEEKS USE, SUN VISORS IN MY NEW 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER MALFUNCTION DURING USE, DRIFTING DOWNWARD OBSTRUCTING FORWARD VISION. VISORS WERE REPLACED AT DEALER. AFTER 4 TO 6 WEEKS, AGAIN THE NEW VISORS DRIFT DOWNWARD WHEN IN USE, OBSTRUCTING VISION. WHEN DRIVING TOWARD THE SUN, DRIVER MUST HAVE ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR IN POSITION AND OTHER HAND ON STEERING WHEEL - DANGEROUS TO SHIFT GEARS OR USE TURN SIGNALS. AT THIS POINT MITSUBISHI SEEMS UNINTERESTED IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR
