The sun visor at the driver side suddenly fell off and blocked the vision. It didn't stick to its original position. Finally i have to take it off as it was blocking the rear view mirror. *tt

Driver side visor broke. The visor's suspension no longer holds visor up and its affecting visibility while driving. Customer service was contacted but they refused to take care of it and want to charge $120 to fix it. There are several complaints through out the internet of unhappy customers who are experiencing the same thing. It's unfair that owners are expected to pay for a part that should obviously be…

I purchased this 2007 car new in late 2006. After about 5 years, the dashboard began to get shiny and very sticky. It appeared to be melting. If you touch it, it is sticky and can easily be gouged. No amount of cleaning is able to resolve the shiny, sticky mess. During the day, the dashboard has so much glare that it is nearly impossible to see out the windshield (car has a grey interior with a light grey dash)…

On or around this date my driver side visor began to droop. It would slowly drop & over the course of a few months completely dropped, you couldn't put it back into its upright position, or any position & it obscured my visibility. I took it to my dealer & they replaced it at no charge because it was still under factory warranty. The guy in the service department said that the visors were breaking and that it was…
