Sun visor on driver's side is not working properly. It will not stay in any position i set it to. It hangs down. It is a safety hazard because it blocks my ability to see long distances. I checked on the replacement cost & it's around $400! We buy high end vehicles because we don't expect this sort of problem within 3…
