36 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2012

Last Jan we had our passenger side visor fall without any manipulation and after taking the vehicle to Hyundai they told us that the screws which are holding them together are rusted. In July 2012 the driver side visor also fell off and we took it to Hyundai and they quoted us $380 just to have it fixed. It was Hyundai who placed unusable and rusted parts in vehicles and later stated that we are out of warranty and would need to furnish the payment for something that we are not at fault for. Also abs light comes up and even after changing all the brake pads and rooters, does not resolve. It is the manufacturing defect which made the visors come off and hang by the wires so why should we be responsible to pay for the manufacturing defects?? please investigate.

37 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2012

The drivers side sun visor has fallen down several times and has almost caused an accident. The little black wire that powers the light is the only thing that keeps it from falling into my lap. I almost hit a car one time when it fell and it blocked my view. I was in the middle of making a left turn. Someone needs to address this and make it safer to use.

Both visors fell within a week of each other as I was going down the highway hindering my view and scaring the crap out of me. I see no recalls? isn't this a safety concern for huyndai?.

41 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2011

Both sun visors broke at about the same time. There was a poping sound, then the visors would just hang down or flop down which obstructs the driver's view. They won't stay up and when they fall it is very dangerous. I took them off and saw that a small plastic part was broken at teh same place on both of them. It is a design flaw and should be a recall for parts, at least.

42 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2011

Sun visor fell and hit me in the eye while I was driving on the freeway. I searched the internet forums and found this is a common failure on Hyundai Elantra's. The visor no longer stays up. This part should be recalled before an injury is caused by this failure.

43 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2011

Driver side sun visor fall off during driving and few months later passenger side sun visor also fell off during the driving. This is a safety hazard while driving against the sun or bright light. There is no secured fit to attached sun visor, attached only with the electric wire going inside thru visor. Manufacturing/design defect.
