Description of the problem	Kia is fully aware of a problem with their sun visors. A quick google search will turn up thousands of cases. The visor components break causing them to hang loose, obstructing vision. This is a safety hazard. The defect has existed for a long time (my wife? S 2003 sorrento experienced the issue in 2004) and it continues today. My 2007 optima has both visors hanging presently. There is no recall on these visors, and the cost to repair them is 100-200 each.
