Sun glass holder broke after one week

[Sylvester]

The sun glass holder next to the interior lighting broke today. There is a small clip which holds the door closed and this clip is super weak and came out. I pushed it back in and it kept coming out when there was anything in there and pushes the door slightly out. I now removed the sun glasses and closed the holder. Will be added to the list the dealership has to fix during my next visit.

What else is on the Fit/It list ?

What else is on the Fit/It list ?

- Check the entire engine bay. I already reported about some quality issues with the engine (-connector was completely loose floating around, another connector which is loose and taped with some tape which is not meant to be use in that area, lots of loose tapes at random places)
- Alignment is off
- Some interior rattle
- broken sun glass holder

Thank You!
The issues you state: engine bay, alignment off, and interior rattle concern me

What alerted you to the alignment being off?

sun glasses too big for holder to completely close without having to compress glasses?

Trucks pull to the right

Same sun glasses I put in the same designated spot in my other cars with no issues.

Is maverick glasses box smaller???

Most vehicles do and Its by design unless yours is way off? It's meant to veered you off the highway to the shoulder in case you fall asleep at the wheel.

That is first time I am hearing that. None of my cars, and I had many of them, had that by design. If there was something similar, than it was bad alignment or air pressure was not equal on both sides.

WHAT? No car is designed to steer you off the road even in the slightest degree. I don't know what Kool-Aid you've been given but you should lay off.

Are vehicles designed to pull to the right?

Cars designed for driving on the right side of the road are manufactured to pull slightly to the right. This is to prevent the car from drifting into oncoming traffic if the driver falls asleep at the wheel. ... If your car is pulling significantly, it's a good idea to get it checked.

Note the word slightly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why does my car pull to the right on the highway?

The most commonly culprit is your vehicle's wheel alignment. When your vehicle is properly aligned, it is at optimal performance. Poorly maintained roads and hitting the curb can throw your vehicle's alignment off. This can cause your vehicle to pull to one side, and can also cause uneven wear on your tires.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why does car drift to the right?

One of the most common reasons your car will pull to one side is because the wheel alignment is off. When your wheel and axles aren't lined correctly you'll notice your steering wheel – and the whole front of the car – pull to the left or right. ... However, a more serious symptom of misaligned wheels is uneven tread wear.

Why do cars always veer to the right when you let go of the steering wheel, rather than straight forward?

Don Sutton

They only veer to the right on vehicles made to be driven on the right side of the road. Cars built to drive on the left side veer to the left. Of course the above is only true if the wheel alignment and power steering balance is set correctly. The reason is the caster of the wheel alignment steers the vehicle down hill and the camber of the road to allow water to run off the road provides the downhill. Ie you drive on the right the low side is the right edge of the road so car heads right.

Because of some responses I have had I am going to clarify this a little more.

Car built for LH side of the road may have a little more front wheel camber set on the drivers side to lessen the effect of steering downhill this is why correct wheel alignment is necessary. Cars for the RH side of the road will also have the drivers side camber set more positive than the passengers side. The specification will most likely state a desired camber for example passengers as +0.25 deg +/- 0.25deg giving a possible setting of 0deg to 0.5deg while the drivers side will be something like 0.5deg +/-0.25deg making the camber 0.25 more positive than the passenger side.

Because a manual steering has more positive feel and responds to the wheels better and is heavier there will be no compensation in the steering for road camber and there cant be anyway. Powersteering on the other hand often has a bias in the valve, not much but can often be around 0.25NM. This is to overcome complaints by owners that the steering feels heavier to turn to the drivers side than the passengers side due to the road camber. This will make no difference to the vehicle wanting to turn downhill but makes it easier and less noticeable to the driver to hold a straight line.

If you import a vehicle from a country that drives on the other side of the road it would be pertinent to check the wheel alignment to favour your country if there is a difference. A steering gear if power assistance may need a retrimmed valve or if you convert the vehicle to have the steering wheel the other side you would purchase a gear for the opposite hand in any case. This might not apply for electric assist.

Rob, Please, if you don't know what are you talking about I suggest to get informed before spewing nonsense.

"Cars designed for driving on the right side of the road are manufactured to pull slightly to the right. This is to prevent the car from drifting into oncoming traffic if the driver falls asleep at the wheel. ... If your car is pulling significantly, it's a good idea to get it checked."

Also this:
