| Description of the problem | My 2008 sonata's driver side sun visor will no longer stay up and secure and is always moving suddenly or "floating" into a position that obscures my view often. I purchased the vehicle in dec. 2009 and the incident occurs in june 2010. I have not yet contacted a dealer for replacement or maintenance out of concern it will cost me an arm and a leg to fix. |
