| Description of the problem | While traveling down the interstate at 75+ mph, the sun visor in my 2007 santa fe broke from the 'elbow' and fell down into my field of view!!! The passenger side also broke but not during actual use, while traveling but at a low speed, over a bump. The visors aren't even used with any frequency and certainly aren't abused, yet both are broken completely free and useless! This is unacceptable. |
