Consumer Description

SUN VISOR PROBLEMS - DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FELL TO A DOWNWARD POSITION AND WOULD NOT HOLD ANY POSITION ADJUSTMENT, NOT EVEN ALL THE WAY UP. MADE DRIVING UNSAFE BECAUSE IT IMPAIRED VISIBILITY. HYUNDAI REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. ABOUT A YEAR LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITH THE VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD TO PURCHASE THE PART FOR NEARLY $100 AND REPLACE IT MYSELF. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY RECALL, THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN DENSE TRAFFIC. *TR
