| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 hyundai sonata and the sun visor has broken twice, which affects my view of the road. The visor is unable to stay up and out of view when not in use. I've read hyundai online forums and it seems to be a recurring problems with a lot of this model as well as the 2007 model. I've had to slide out the visor extension and wedge it between by rearview mirror and roof of my car, which is not a safe option either as it can become unwedged during driving and fall down and block my view of the road. It hasn't caused an accident yet, but it's only a matter of time which terrifies me. Please help. |
