| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 hyundai sonata. This car has a known history of the sunvisors breaking or not staying up while not being used. At first the passenger side failed on me after trying several attempts at keeping it in the correct position. Now the drivers side is doing the same thing. I can move the visor to the side but this causes loss of sight to my side when driving which could prove to be dangerous. After researching the web it seems many owners with the same car have had problems and they are very expensive to cover out of warranty. My complaint is that the same thing will continue and cost a lot of money to keep repairing. |
