Description of the problem	My 2007 kia optima has had both sun visors break making them unable to remain in the upward position. Initially the driver side visor broke and several months later the passenger side broke. It made it difficult to see traffic lights when stopped at an intersection so i held them up with straps. Now i cant use them to block the sun. I would replace them but they are expensive and i feel that this problem should not have occurred because they were used normally, i do not attach anything to the visors and they were usually up. Additionally when i sit in the passenger front seat the airbag light comes on indicating that the passenger airbag is off. This is supposed to only happen when there is no occupant in the seat. Im not sure why but it only seems to happen when i am in the seat. I wear my seatbelt and sit normally in the chair. This has happened since the car was bought used in 2008.
