Consumer Description

PASSENGER SEAT SUN VISOR BROKE. BY 'BROKE' I MEAN THAT THE INTERNAL SPRING MECHANISM TO KEEP IT FOLDED UP FAILED SO IT NOW FLOPS DOWN INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT AND INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY. IT CANNOT BE FOLDED BACK UP OUT OF VISIBILITY, IT JUST KEEPS FLOPPING STRAIGHT DOWN. JUDGING FROM COMMENTS ON FORUMS, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI SEDANS, AND IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS TO THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR, BECAUSE OF HOW IT CAN SUDDENLY FAIL AND INTERFERE WITH VISIBILITY. *TR
