SUN VISORS IN THE CAR FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS CAUSES THE REDUCED FIELD OF VISION TO FORWARD OR SIDE TRAFFIC AND ALSO POSES AT GREAT RISK DURING COLLISION. THESE DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS NEED TO BE RECALLED. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ON GOING ACROSS MULTIPLE VEHICLES IN THE PRODUCT LINE WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF USE. MULTIPLE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. ON BOTH THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOORS, THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN ON MY VEHICLE (PICTURES ATTACHED), NOT ALLOWING YOU TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. TO EXIT THE VEHICLE YOU NEED TO LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THIS COULD PROVE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IF YOU NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND THE PLASTIC HANDLE BREAKS. ALL THE PIECES OF THIS PART ARE PLASTIC AND THEY HANDLE HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS PULLING CABLES TO OPEN AND UNLOCK DOORS. YOUTUBE/GOOGLE IS FILLED WITH VIDEOS ON REPAIRING THESE BROKEN HANDLES AND PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FREQUENCY IN WHICH THEY BREAK.

THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP WHILE DRIVING THE PLASTIC SUPPORTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE PROPER POSITION. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF THE DO NOT STAY UP IT BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY AND ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE IT AS I DO NOT WANT TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I MOVED THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR. A LOUD POP HAPPENED AND THE VISOR BROKE. IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO ITS STATIONARY PLACE AND HUNG IN FRONT OF MY FIELD OF VIEW. IT DANGLES INTERFERING WITH DRIVING.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BOARD STAYS ON. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF.
