| Description of the problem | The sun visors on my 2008 hyundai sonata (68,865 current miles) are each (passenger and driver sides) defective. We have lived with this manufacturing defect on the passenger side for the past year, and now, within the past few months, the visor on the driver side also gave way, hanging limply, obstructing the vision of the driver and creating a serious safety issue that needs resolution. This is a safety defect in the manufacture of these visors (obstruction of vision while driving). |
