“Sun visor on driver side is broken (won't stay up) and the sun visor drops down vertically blocking the driver's field of view. This problem was part of a recall in the two prior year models (2007 and 2008), but hyundai refuses to acknowledge the problem persists in the 2009 year model”

“Lowering the driver side sun visor made a crackling noise then the visor would not stay in a fixed position up or down. Currently, I taped it up to old it out of my field of vision for driving until I can get it to the dealer.”
