Consumer Description

AS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE WITH HYUNDAI'S, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NO LONGER HAVE THE TENSION TO STAY UP. IT WOULD CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN AND NOT STAY IN UP POSITION. IT WOULD ALSO NOT STAY IN THE POSITION AGAINST THE WINDOW TO BLOCK THE SUN. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI'S FOR A LONG TIME AND IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DID A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET AND IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. APPARENTLY HYUNDAI IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO GET TO THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE SUN VISOR ISSUE. THIS ISSUE CAUSES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM AS THE VISOR KEEPS DROPPING INTO THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION! *TR
