Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT GO UP FOR A YEAR AND HUNG DOWN, AFFECTING MY VISIBILITY AND WAS A HUGE RISK WHEN DRIVING. DUE TO THE VISOR HANGING DOWN, IT EVENTUALLY BECAME WEAK ON THE LEFT CORNER AND WAS HANGING BY THE ELECTRICAL CORDS (FOR THE LIGHT) AND FELL OFF COMPLETELY. NOW I DO NOT HAVE A VISOR AT ALL AND IT AFFECTS MY DRIVING IMMENSELY AS I HAVE NOTHING TO KEEP THE SUN OUT OF MY EYES. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT, BUT I KNOW FOUR OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS WHO THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO. *TR
