| Description of the problem | While driving down the highway, i opened my sun visor and everything was fine, then suddenly it dropped down into my line of sight just dangling by some wires! I could have been seriously injured! After trying to push it back up into the hole, to only have it fall down in my face again at any given time, i had to just remove it completely! To add insult to injury, the passenger side visor did the same thing 2 days ago. I just can't believe the cheap parts used on these visors, the knowledge of the safety hazard, and the lack of action taken to fix this! I will never buy a hyundai again if this is the service i am going to receive. |
