THE SUN VISORS ON THE VEHICLE CAME WITH VERY DISTRACTING WHITE/YELLOW/BLACK STICKERS ON THEM THAT SEEM TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE. I HAVE TRIED TO ORDER VISORS WITHOUT THE STICKERS BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO SO IN THE U.S. THE VISORS CONTAIN WARNINGS ABOUT AIRBAGS WHICH I HAVE READ THOROUGLY AND UNDERSTAND (THAT'S WHAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL IS FOR ANYWAY). THE STICKERS CREATE A CONSTANT DISTRACTION FROM THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING, AS I HAVE THIS BRIGHT, GARISH, WHITE/YELLOW/BLACK THING CONSTANTLY JUMPING INTO MY EYES, ESPECIALLY AS THE SUN HITS THEM (THE CAR IS A CONVERTIBLE). I FEEL THAT SOMETHING WHICH DRAWS MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM, AND WOULD LIKE A SET OF VISORS WITHOUT THIS STICKER ON THEM.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
