While driving on the freeway, the driver's side sun visor suddenly fell down and blocked all visibility. The sun visor will no longer stay up and dangled above the steering wheel until I removed it. A cheap plastic part broke inside causing it to fall, startling me and nearly causing an accident.
As I am driving South on us 19 clearwater Florida doing 45-50mph for no apparent reason my sun visor flipped down without warning surprising and startling me blocking my vision!! I tried to reposition the visor but it remained limp just tangling in my line of vision.
The driver's side visor fell on my head while I was driving on the highway. The piece that holds the visor up is broken and the visor continues to fall while I am driving, entering my view of the road or hitting me.

The sun visors break at the hinge and drop down in front of the driver's face obstructing view. I have owned 1 elantra and 2 Accents since 2005. Hyundai refuses to deal with this.
I simply pulled the sun visor down, it made a strange noise and will no longer stay up, greatly impairing/obstructing the view out the windshield. The light also stopped working. Car is only at 30,000 - always have had routine maintenance.
