Description of the problem	When pulling out of my driveway and traveling up the residential street, the driver side sun visor fell out of the rooftop and hit me in the head. It appears broken and i can not re-insert it without it falling out again. I rarely use the visor, and it fell out without my attempting to lower it. It appears many are having this problem with the 2007 santa fe. If hyundai won't recognize the issue, fine. I'm still working on a solution to prevent the visor from hitting me in the head while i'm driving and then dangling in front of me and blocking my vision. The front left tie rod needed to be replaced a few months ago. I couldn't understand why the dealer did not recognize this problem a year ago when the warranty was still active. The mechanic who eventually replaced the tie rod told me he thinks this issue was long-standing, and perhaps existed when i purchased the vehicle. Dealer cost to repair: $700+. My mechanic repaired for $180 (including front-end alignment. Now my brakes are squealing, and the pads are fine. My mechanic took photos of rust on the rotors. He is amazed at the number of problems i am having with a car @ 16,000 miles. I think i bought a piece of junk without knowing it.
