Both Driver and Passenger Visor arms have dis-engaged and no longer work to provide shielding from blinding sun. They just hang from thier broken arms and it happened shortly after having purchased this vehicle from a used car dealer, (Kearny Mesa) and they were unable to address since it was not a recall. Obviously they would repair it for $$$$ Did some research and apparently this is a common issue with this vehicle.

Rear power sliding window frame developed cracks at the top on both sides, above the center rear sliding window. THE FRAME LEAKS INTO CAB WHEN MOISTURE IS PRESENT. Water Intrusion has resulted in water intrusion in the rear cabin, which destroys the interior of the vehicles permanent stain marks; foul odors, mold, and mildew is a huge concern. My children ride in the back of my vehicle and I am concerned about the health issues this may cause in the future. My part is still covered under warranty at this time, however it will take 3 to 4 weeks for this part to be repaired and no guarantee it will not continue to happen at my expense, please fix this.
