| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 hyundai sonata. Three years ago, the driver's side sunvisor stopped staying in place, dropping in front of me and causing a potential obstruction. The dealer replaced this under warranty. Less than a year later, the replaced visor developed the same problem. The dealer will not respond to my request that it be fixed again under warranty. I believe that this is a material defect, and it could be hazardous. |
