| Description of the problem | Broken sun visor bracket- hyundai issued a tsb but will not replace visor if vehicle is out of warranty. When driving down the road i had to slam on the brakes to avoid a child chasing a ball which bounced across the street i hit my head on the edge of the sun visor which dangles down. My head would not have hit the visor if it was working properly. Also the visor dangles blocking your vision when the visor is not needed but it will not stay in the up position. |
