| Description of the problem | Passengers sun visor broke and fell down distracting driver. Search on internet finds many complaints of same issue and even "service bulletins" addressing the problem but only in certain states and of course in the warranty period for years/mileage. Not feeling real confident in hyundai fixing it based on past experience with dealer and that i'm out of warranty. Shouldn't be long before the drivers one falls down also. Maybe it will cause a crash, maybe not. This should definitely be a recall item to replace all of them once the design is changed. |
