| Description of the problem | Both sun visors on my 2007 sonata broke within weeks of each other. They will not stay up. They broke after 60,000 miles so they are no longer under warranty. After reading on the internet about the number of drivers who had the same problem from 2006 to 2008, hyundai should have had a recall. Knowing they had a problem back in 2006 and allowing this problem to go on for 2 more years is irresponsible and the hyundai car sompany should be made to replace all the defected sun visors. |
