| Description of the problem | We have a 2007 hyundai sonata with two defective sun visors. One started to fall down and not stay up in position about 3 years ago. Now both are defective and stay down all the time and are not able to stay up at all greatly effecting the visibility from within this vehicle. I'm a tall person and have to constantly shift the visor on both sides in order to see oncoming traffic. Hyundai has a "campaign" notice for 2006-2008 sonata's with the same problem but only in warm states. The cost of the visors are between $90 and $100 dollars. Hyundai offered to give us $100. 00 toward our next service, but we'd just like to have the defective parts replaced like in the warm states. |
