This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Visor on driver side broke while driver was attempting to put it down to block the sun. When it broke, it dangled in front of the driver and blocked the driver's vision of the road. Fortunately, the driver was able to grab the visor and hold it out of the way and regain sight of the road before causing an accident. The supporting metal arm separated at the point where the wire for the mirror light exits the arm. It would appear that there was a defect in the design and the casting.
The sun visor snapped off while being adjusted. It broke due to metal fatigue at the place where the power cord for the vanity mirror light exited the support shaft. The stress concentration caused by this exit hole guarantees that this part will fail. This could easily cause fatal accidents if it happened at high speed.
