Car passenger side visor failed and hangs straight down blocking the driver side right hand view. This makes it difficult to see oncoming traffic on the right hand side and forced me to put the car into a dangerous position in the center lane. Fortunately other traffic had slowed to allow to proceed into the flow of traffic. This is the second visor failure for this vehicle - clearly a design/engineering issue.…

Dashboard has begun to deteriorate. It has a sticky film on it that reflects sunlight into the driver's face. The dashboard has begun to be very sticky and looks like it's going to start to fall apart. More than aesthetically disappointing is the safety issue. The reflection from the defective dashboard makes it difficult to see the road at times. *tr
