Description of the problem	The sun visor on the passenger side suddenly came off from the mount that holds it in place. The actual mount was still on, held by three screws. However, the visor came off at the hinge. I was changing lanes on the highway and it completely blocked my view of the lane to my right hand side and i came close to crashing. This appears to be a common problem. The internet is full of reports noting that these visors come off suddenly because they are held to the mounting assembly by what can be described as a rubber band. Heat and time eventually cause it to crack. If the driver's side visor falls in this fashion it will lock itself between the dash board and the steering wheel. It will prevent me from steering the car. Not to mention, block my field of view as it falls forward. It is only a matter of time before this happens. I took it to the dealer and they wanted to do the hyundai dealer on october 10, 2012 repair "off the books". They were going to charge me for the part separate from my repair bill but install it for free so that there would be no paper trail. The dealer advised me that this happens a lot to the santa fe models. I have pictures that can be included in this report if needed.
