Description of the problem	I have a 2008 hyundai sonata. The sun visors continue to fall down or sag. I've had both visors replaced within the last year and half. Luckily, my car was still under warranty. However, they have failed again since then, and now my sonata is out of warranty (i have exceeded 60k miles). My research shows that the visor tension rod loses tension over time and eventually fails resulting in visor sag. Obviously this is an ongoing problem because the replacement visors haven't been re-engineered, this according to a hyundai rep. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see the hazard here -- the visor can block the driver's view or worse scalp you if in an accident. What does hyundai do? They check your warranty status and replace it with same defective part, or worse, if out of warranty, they offer to sell you a replacement at $85. 00. Really!! The dealerships claim no responsibility as does apparently the hyundai corporation, which should be investigated by the nhtsa for failure to acknowledge a recall. How many complaints does it take? And why are hyundai consumers stuck paying for a safety defect that is unambiguously clear? If you don? T believe me, talk to any owner of an ? 06, ? 07, or ? 08 sonata. This is really upsetting to me because i thought hyundai was doing a good job. Now, i'm having second thoughts. Issue a recall already!! The p/n for the right side visor is 85202 0a750qdqqh by hyundai america. I don't have the option to select that under the equipment tab so i posted it here. *tt

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
