1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2023

Back rear windshield keeps exploding on its own I’m not the only person to complain about this.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2020

The plastic that hold the visor arm on place crumbles. Both sides were affected. The outer shield plates seem ok it's only the piece that I can only guess, 'stabalizes' the visor when you move it from front to side of the car. It looks like they're about $30-$80 each to replace. This is a 3rd hand vehicle however the mileage is fairly low for this year at 127,408. These are not plastic pieces that are in the sun a lot, they aren't at all but crumble like plastic can because of sun exposure. There is glue in the photo that I put on as a temporary fix but it peels off easily.
