| Description of the problem | Was driving when all of a sudden the sun visor on driver's side dropped down. Couldn't flip it back up to stay intact. Kept falling down impairing my vision. Plastic piece eventually broke off and so i tried to use velcro to keep the visor from blocking my vision while i drove the vehicle. Didn't work. Wire broke a couple days later sending the whole visor down falling on my lap. Now as of 8/29/12 the passenger sun visor is doing the same thing. There are sooo many complaints online with specifically the 2007 hyundai santa fe visors breaking. This needs to be recalled asap. Major vision impairment. |
