Description of the problem	2006 hyundai sonata: the driver's sun visor stopped working - it basically lost its tension and, although still hinged, it flipped down on its own while i was driving down the highway at 70 mph. It not only startled me and caused me to jerk the wheel but it distracted me momentarily and i was just thankful it was not a two-way road where i could have hit an oncoming vehicle. In addition, it hangs straight down directly in my vision, obstructing it so much that i cannot see adequately. I improvised and used velcro to affix it in its original, closed position. However, the velcro sticky backing gave out today and, again, the visor suddenly dropped startling me and obstructing my vision. My car has over 72,000 miles and is out of warranty to repair this. I looked on-line to see if there was a way to fix this defect and discovered countless complaints and concerns for the exact same thing. I certainly don't think i've misused the visor - i don't even use it that much - so it's not an issue of mishandling. With as many complaints as i saw on-line, i think this is a manufacturing defect that warrants attention. Thank you.
