Description of the problem	The visor on the driver side all of a sudden does not stay in the upright position. It just hangs obstructing my view. This should be recalled because i have read that this is a known problem for kia optima's. The dealership is going to charge me over $200 to replace it and i did nothing to break it. I just use the visor normally and do not hang anything from it. I was driving normally one day and it just fell down. My car is a little over 5 years old so it is no longer under warranty and i just finished paying it off so this is very upsetting. I feel that if the driver's view is obstructed then it should be recalled and replaced with a new working part. It is very distracting to drive with the visor down all the time. It gets in the way. Many people probably do not realize they can report this issue so i am providing some links for forums where people are stating similar problems. Please report this issue. This part needs to be recalled because it is a safety issue! Http://www. Carproblemzoo. Com/kiamotor/optima/wiper-problems. Php http://www. Carcomplaints.
