Consumer Description

CRITICAL: DRIVERS SUNVISOR UNEXPECTEDLY FELL OUT OF IT'S MOUNTING WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT ON A VERY NARROW 2-LANE BRIDGE. DARNED NEAR GOT ME KILLED!!!. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND A VERY POOR & DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. REPLACEMENT UNITS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND EQUALLY FLAWED. YES, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION @ ABOUT 45 MPH AND HAD I NOT HAD QUICK REFLEXES, I COULD HAVE EITHER SLAMMED INTO THE BRIDGE RAIL OR HEAD -ON WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. PLEASE GET THIS CORRECTED BECAUSE IT IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM BY MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLE OWNERS IN ADDITION TO OTHER YEARS & MODELS. THANK YOU *TR
