Re: 2007 hyud santa fe g. 49880 miles (at oil change 11/02/2009). I drove my car approx 90 miles on a shopping trip. I parked the car in front of the house approx 3 pm, went inside the house and approx 5 minutes went to the car to remove the items I bought. I found the car burning at the dash board in front of the steering wheel. I call 911 and the fire dept arrive to extinguish the fire. The entire inside of the car was burned.
While driving down the highway, my driver's side sun visor fell from the ceiling and was dangling by the electrical wire which controls the automatic light when the visor is opened. This not only obstructed my view, but also caused a knee-jerk reaction to brake as the visor swung toward my face. Upon inspection, the plastic joint which holds the visor in place had failed.
