Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILURE - THE FRICTION ROD INSIDE THE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY LOST ITS ABILITY TO HOLD THE SUN VISOR IN PLACE, RESULTING IN THE SUN VISOR DROPPING UNPREDICTABLY INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES OF THIS ERA, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS SUBSEQUENTLY PRODUCED A REDESIGNED SUN VISOR THAT IS REPORTEDLY NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, INSTEAD OPTING TO SELL THE NEW PART TO AFFECTED CONSUMERS FOR $150-200. *TR
