| Description of the problem | The sun visor on the driver's side on one of the first 80 degree days of the year gave a few cracking sounds and then went limp. Now the sun visor doesn't retract back to the tucked away position. It also doesn't stay up against the window. It stays rather low and slightly obstructs my vision when i am driving. This probably should be replaced under warranty, but i found many instances of this problem on the internet on this site: http://www. Howtomendit. Com/answers. Php? Id=157121 it seems like it is a major design flaw. The nhtsa should pressure hyundai to make a recall for this particular minor yet potentially dangerous design flaw. |
