| Description of the problem | 2006 sonata driver & passenger visors failure. We are now needing the 4th visor that won't stay up. Dealer won't cover it as vehicle is over the initial warranty period. Was told by the dealer when the 2nd ones broke, that hyundai had corrected the manufacturing defect - don't think so. This is a safety issue as the visor is angled in an unsafe position when broken to the occupant. |
