| Description of the problem | We flipped down the driver side visor as usual and always take good care of the vehicle but this time you could hear it crack. From that moment on we were fighting with it while driving many times. It became to oserious of a driving hazard mixed with a drain on the battery as the visor light would stay on due to the wire insulation breaking through from wear due to stress from the weight of the hanging visor and repeatedly falling. This same visor was a recall on the2007 hyundai sonata but not the 2007 hyundai santa fe??? Why not??? |
