Description of the problem	1. Events leading up to the failure: common use of rotating the sun visor up and down to block the sun. 2. The failure: the visor fails to stay in place and hangs down "free-swinging" obstructing between 25% and 45% of the drivers view depending on height of the driver. In my case- the visor hanging down distracts 40% of my view through my windshield and i am 5'10". If left in its current condition, it is going to play a major part in vehicle accidents. This is a common problem among sonata's for 2006. My dealership even admitted to it when i went in to see about getting it repaired 3 years ago. 3. Correction of failure- unhinge the visor and shove it into the bracket backwards hoping that it doesn't fall, but usually does on any sort of aggressive braking or accelerating. The dealership told me it would cost over $300 to repair. This happened over 3 years ago. This is a major safety hazard that is going to play a major factor in wrecks. You can find other complaints all over the internet and nothing done about it. I can provide pictures to establish evidence of the problem.
