| Component | VISIBILITY |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Both of the sun visors on my 2006 hyundai sonata broke under normal activity. They were not pulled on or used inappropriately. Both will not stay in the up position. This is a driving hazard because it limits visibility and is a distraction for the driver of the car. Often times, i hit my head on the visor. Night time is the most difficult time because there is no reason to have the visor down (no sunlight) but the visor hinders proper vision of the road. |
