Both of the sun visors in my vehicle fall down when going over a speed hump. The plastic dowel holding the visor in place is defective. There are numerous other Hyundai vehicles suffering from the same problem, as documented here: howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=157121 updated 8/5/2015
Sun visors won't stay up, I live in las vegas where it is extremely hot & sunny. The visor won't stay in place so I can't place it in a position where I can see around it and it won't hold a window visor in place to keep the sun out of the interior of the car.
The in-dash front-panel console pieces make very irritating squeaky noises when driving over even little bumps distracting the driver from normal driving experience.
