| Description of the problem | The driver side sun visor on our 2006 hyundai sonata has suddenly stopped being able to be in the up position. It also cannot be placed totally down. As a result it is hanging down and impeding vision and hits me in the head if i lean forward to see traffic or move my head to look over before moving into another lane. There is definitely a safety risk with the failure of this part. |
