THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR IS TOO LONG, AS IN, IT OBSTRUCTS VIEW OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

SIDE WINDOW ARE NO LONGER CLEAR. THEY APPEAR TO HAVE SOME BREAKDOWN IN THE GLASS COATING OR IN INNER LAYERS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO READ SIGNS OR CLEARLY DISTINGUISH OBJECTS THROUGH THE SIDE WINDOW GLASS, WHICH I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME.

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION WILL FLIP IN AND OUT OF GEAR, SOMETIMES COULD GO ON TO HIGH GEAR OR LOW GEAR. WHEN STEPPING ON ACCELERATOR IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE, DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK
