| The driver's side sun visor contains a defective component and doesn't remain in a locked position. when i try to move it to the locked position against the ceiling, it falls down into clear sight. this is great when the sun is in your eyes, but not during all other times. it severely decreases vision while driving. there are hundreds of complaints on the web and kia should be aware of the issue, but they have offered no resolution or recall for their defective sun visor. *tr | |||

| Kia is fully aware of a problem with their sun visors. a quick google search will turn up thousands of cases. the visor components break causing them to hang loose, obstructing vision. this is a safety hazard. the defect has existed for a long time (my wife?s 2003 sorrento experienced the issue in 2004) and it continues today. my 2007 optima has both visors hanging presently. there is no recall on these visors, and the cost to repair them is 100-200 each. *tr | |||

| My 2007 kia optima has had both sun visors break making them unable to remain in the upward position. initially the passenger side visor broke and several months later the driver side broke. it made it difficult to see traffic lights when stopped at an intersection so i held them up with the extended visor in the visor. i would replace them but they are expensive and i feel that this problem should not have occurred because they were used normally, i do not attach anything to the visors and they were usually up. i have read many complaints on this issue and do not understand why there has not been a recall on the visors. this is a matter of safety in my opinion. *tr | |||
