Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This Sonic sun visors will not pull out to extend and also have no pull-out extensions. People driving north in the in the p.m. Or south in the a.m. Have to drive with one hand only in order to block the sun with their left hand. There is probably a higher incident of accidents at these times of day involving sonics. I never would have bought this car if I realized that the visors did not pull out.”
