| Description of the problem | Driving 2007 hyundai santa fe on highway suddenly the sun visor drops into my face from its corner attachment, dangling by only electrical wire. Grabbed sun visor and lifted up, preventing potential accident with other vehicles. Hyundai service dealership refused free replacement due to being out of warranty. Gave estimate $150 to replace. There are dozens of same defect online with 2007 hyundai santa fe driver side sun visor dropping from exact same location. Because it is very dangerous not to fix we had to pay for the safety of our family onboard. Hyundai still refusing to do recall. Filing complaint with state attorney general office of consumer affairs. |
