Description of the problem	We own a 2007 santa fe that overall we have been very happy with. In december 2012 with just over 60,000 miles on our vehicle we were driving with our 2 young children in the car and the driver side visor suddenly dropped from the left side. This was extremely dangerous and affected the safety of our family while we were driving. We tried to put it to the side, and pulled over the side of the road to push the plastic part back into the socket. A few minutes on the road and the visor fell again causing more dangerous distraction while driving. For our safety we had to rip the wire out to fully remove the visor. Now we are left with no visor to keep the sun out of our eyes. Here we are 6 months later at 68,000 miles and the passenger side did the same thing. Slightly less distracting to the driver, but dangerous none the less. We are beyond our initial warranty and the visors are not covered on the extended warranty even though the dealership said, 'the visors should be covered,we see this all the time'. After a quick review on the web i see that many hyundai drivers have had similar dangerous experiences. It seems some of the visors were even part of a recall, but not the 2007 santa fe. We don't use our visors excessively and we don't have any weight on them, this is a safety hazard and should be covered or even recalled as it places people in danger when it falls down, hangs by the cord, and distracts drivers. In looking into it further there is a small piece of the plastic that holds the visors in place that broke on both of them. This would be an easy fix to prevent unnecessary accidents.
