| Description of the problem | 2007 hyundai sonata sun visor on driver's side will not stay in place. A plastic piece broke and there is no tension in the visor resulting in the visor being completely vertical and always it the line of sight. I have to hold it in place with my hand while driving resulting in only one hand on the wheel and is highly dangerous. I've read that this is a very common problem with hyundai's and feel that the manufacturer should fix these safety problems. |
