“Sun visor does not stay in place. The visor's level is at my forehead, which is very dangerous for visibility and to my head with any sudden impact. I have never had this problem with any vehicle I have owned. This is my first Mazda. I have owned several chrysler town & country mini vans with no problems. The replacement part is $189.00 and another $100.00 to install a new sun visor.”
