Driver side sun visor is defective. Within a few months of purchase the sun visor would not stay up in the unused position. For several years I held it in place with velcro. It was difficult to swing it over to cover the side window. Recently the entire plastic connector broke and the sun visor dangled from the electrical connection in front of the driver.this occurred while we were driving on the freeway. We used velcro and duct tape in an attempt to keep the sun visor from dangling. It was not usable. We have now disconnected the sun visor from the electrical source and removed it completely. It was a serious safety issue dangling in front of the drive. It is still a safety issue because I do not a means to block the sun from the driver. I noticed on the internet that a number of other owners have complained about this same Hyundai defect.
