Airbags.
I had cleared my windows of snow and turned on my rear defrost when I heard a loud pop and discovered my rear window had imploded. . I was parked in my driveway.
The sun visor on driver's side will no longer stay in the up position. It is loose and just hangs down and it blocks my vision. The first time I became aware of this I was driving and the visor fell down blocking my vision for a few minutes. It startled me and caused me to swerve off the road. Now the visor just hangs down all the time and blocks my vision. Gm has no recall on this item right now but I feel they should correct this at no cost to customers. I only have about 26000 miles on my car so this certainly should not have happened at such an early date. Will you please pursue this with gm for us? I have been quoted $200 to $400 to have this repaired. Thank you.
