| Description of the problem | 2006 hyundai sonata - driver side sun visor has broken for a 2nd time. Replaced the 1st one in october 08 at my expense, the part was $127. 00. When i called to see if it was under warranty i was advised it was a cosmetic issue and not a safety issue. Now i am in need of another one, but i think i will do without because i don't want to pay for another one. The visor became difficult to move and as i lowered it i could hear it cracking inside. This is definitely a safety issue because the visor won't stay up or down, it falls into your line of sight. |
