Consumer Description

ON MY 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA - FIRST MY PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN POSITION. NO MATTER HOW YOU MANIPULATE THE VISORS (ALL THE WAY UP, OR ATTEMPTING TO BLOCK THE SUN) IT FALLS TO THE SAME POSITION WHICH IMPAIRS THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO SAFETY PIN MY VISOR TO THE ROOF OF THE CAR, WHICH IS UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDIATE THIS PROBLEM, REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR. I'VE ALSO READ THAT EVEN IF YOU GET THEM FIXED, THEY CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN THE ROAD. *TR
