2007 Hyundai SANTA FE Unknown Or Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving 55 mph on two lane road with oncoming and cross traffic, our driver side sun visor pivot arm fell out of ceiling mount causing visor to dangle by wires (for make-up light) in front of driver obstructing view of road and causing panic. Wires eventually broke. Failure is caused by poor part design were a very thin plastic rim holds pivot arm in ceiling. It wears with use, cracks, and fails causing visor to fall out and dangle. Passenger side visor has same design flaw and also presents a safety risk. There are lots of internet reports of this problem in various 2007 & 2008 hyundai models including our 2007 santa fe. In best cases, the visor instantly becomes unusable causing total loss of its sun shading capability. In worst cases, driver vision of road is instantly impaired provoking panic and possible crash situation. All of these failures compromise vehicle and passenger safety potentially leading to injury or loss of life along with property damage. Because of the serious safety risks, and due to the cause being inadequate design, a recall order would be wise on these vehicles. Please give investigation of this problem due priority as it presents a serious safety risk. I can buy and install a replacement visor. Indications are that the replacement part will have the same problem though. If hyundai has upgraded to a better design of this part, they should be replacing the existing flawed design parts.
