Driver side sun visor failure. Visor loosens and drops to cover visual field in front of driver; visor falls off while vehicle in operation creating hazard by landing on steering wheel, arm, face of driver. I have owned 3 gm vehicles with the same part that fails in the same way. Present vehicle: part was replaced and the new visor failed in the same way. Gm refuses to acknowledge this as a repeat problem of the same part, but it is. I am original owner on 2 and second owner on the third of these vehicles. I have not gone in yet and have the part; this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed. Gm isn't addressing it. Present vehicle: 2005 GMC Canyon; prior were GMC safari and pontiac grand am. All three had the same visor design and points of failure. All failures occurred while driving and created safety hazard without causing accidents, though high potential for it.
