2 Interior Rearview Mirror problem of the 2008 Kia Motor Optima

Failure Date: 11/01/2011

The sun visor broke. This is a known problem with these vehicles. It will not stay up. I have tried many do-it-yourself fixes, but it continues to fall down, which interferes with visibility, especially in the dark. It is an accident waiting to happen. No matter how many times I push it back into position, it just falls down. It blocks the rear view mirror as well.
