Description of the problem	While driving on interstate 295 in new jersey during the morning rush hour, the driverside sun visor detached from its mounting point and dropped into my line of driving vision. This event startled me and prevented me from seeing where i was driving. I moved to the highway shoulder and temporarily propped-up the sun visor to prevent my vision being blocked again. This could very well have been a serious accident if i had drifted into another lane of the interstate and sideswiped an 18-wheeler. Hyundai needs to issue a recall for all 2007 hyundai santa fe vehicles to correct this issue. Having researched this on the internet, i see many instances of this happening. As an engineer, i see the sun visor support as both inadequate and poorly designed. Considering the potential consequences from a blocking of vision, i would find hyundai to be both negligent and irresponsible if a recall were not immediately issued for the defect.
