The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. In addition, the passenger's side sun visor failed to remain closed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger and the driver's side seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,909.
Driver's side visor fell and distracted driver who swerved. The visor will go up but continues to fall at erratic times. The passenger visor will not stay up at all. The manufacturer refuses to fix this problem.
This appears to be a common complaint, as yet unresolved by Hyundai, at least not in michigan. The driver's side sun visor no longer has tension and is permanently flopped open, obstructing the driver's view.
The sun visors both malfunctioned. They do not stay in place without being tied up. I feel this is a safety issue that they can droop down without warning.
While driving, the visor would not go back to the up position. The visor would not remain in a fixed position. This caused reduced visibility. On sharp turns the visor would swing and hit the driver in the head. The dealership said they could fix it at my expense, because of mileage there was no more warranty, and the part was not in stock that day. Online forums and Hyundai's own service bulletin TSB-09-01-003 document show that it is known this part prematurely fails. The dealership refused to acknowledge that Hyundai had issued any documents related to this issue. They also stated that Hyundai has never and will never do a state by state recall, this claim is proved false by NHTSA campaign 13v-354. If Hyundai had issued a recall when they became aware of the issue, or replaced the part proactively when my car was still under warranty I would have had a safer driving experience.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. While driving at an unknown speed, the passenger side sun visor became detached and obstructed the view of the driver. After resetting the visor in the upward position, the visor continued to detach. The dealer stated that the visor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Both driver side and passenger side visors are drooping affecting visibility while driving.
Visor keeps dropping down without warning.
My sunvisor on the drivers side dropped down and will not go back to the upright position. This is the third time my sunvisor has broken. One on the passenger side and twice on the drivers side. I have spent 100 dollars replacing the other side. I do not have any children in my car, it is just myself and my husband. This is ridiculous that it broke for no apparent reason. I have a 2004 Hyundai elantra and have never had problems with the visors.
Passengers sun visor broke and fell down distracting driver. Search on internet finds many complaints of same issue and even "service bulletins" addressing the problem but only in certain states and of course in the warranty period for years/mileage. Not feeling real confident in Hyundai fixing it based on past experience with dealer and that I'm out of warranty. Shouldn't be long before the drivers one falls down also. Maybe it will cause a crash, maybe not. This should definitely be a recall item to replace all of them once the design is changed.
The passenger visor will not stay up and although this is not a safety hazard, I have been told (by Hyundai service) that this is a wide spread problem in the vehicles for both the passenger and driver visor. I looked this up and found that there are many complaints about the visors and it should be a recall item.
Both passenger and driver sun visors will not stay in the up position, and obstructing the vision of the driver. I have contacted the local dealer and Hyundai and have been advised that there is a product recall on the 2006 Hyundai Sonata for this same problem, but not for the 2007 Sonata. I can not afford to cover this repair as it is over $100. 00 per visor.
Sun visor does not stay in poition and drops which blocks vision. Safety issue. Manufacturer will charge for repair but this is clearly an defective part issue,as there is a recall if you live in southern states.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the driver side sun visor would continuously fall, blocking his vision of the roadway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the sun visor at the owner's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 99,000.
My sunvisor on the passenger side dropped down and will not go back to the upright position. This is the second time my sunvisor has broken. One on each side. I have spent 100 dollars replacing the other side. I do not have any children in my car, it is just myself and my husband. This is ridiculous that it broke for no apparent reason.
Sun visor failed and no longer will remain up. It is extremely loose and points directly downward. This is caused by a design and/or a manufacturing defect. It presents a safety hazard as the visor obstructs the drivers view. Inasmuch as this problem is prevalent with this model vehicle and is costly to correct when the vehicle is out-of-warranty, it should be recalled or at a minimum be provided with a lifetime warranty by the manufacturer. My vehicle is still in warranty.
Passenger and driver side sun visors will not stay in place causing visual obstruction at random times. The visors will fall while operating the vehicle and causes a significant distraction to the driver which could result in an accident.
The driver side sunvisor on my 2007 Hyundai Sonata randomly falls down from down from its retired position. This occured again this past week and obscurred my vision while travelling at a speed of about 50mph on a two lane road near my home. I momentarily was not in full control of the vehicle and almost ran off the road into a ditch due to my vision obstruction. Once I flipped the visor back up I regained control of my vehicle with my heart in my throat. I really believe that the defective visor almost killed me because it randomly flopped down, blocking my view of the road. This visor issue has been going on for a few months now and this time it really almost killed me. I will be getting this fixed next week, but there should be a recall on the part.
The driver side sun visor fell down while driving and will not stay in the previous locked position. Internet searches show many other drivers with this same issue and all being told that a repair out of warranty is over $200 for a visor. This is a major safety issue and I have tried everything from velcro (works until it get hot and then falls off) to bungee cords, rubber bands, and even a magnet. When you do needs the visor to protect from the sun all of these temp fixes prevent the safe switch to flipping down the visor. At first you could position the visor to block the sun now it just hangs straight down.
I am writing to complain that both of my sun visors in my 2007 Hyundai Sonata will not stay in the upright position. From researching this problem it sounds like I am among thousands of Hyundai Sonata owners having the very same issue. I contacted my local Hyundai dealership and they said this item is not covered by the warranty, or extended warranty, and the cost will be over $100 each! this is ridiculous. This is a safety issue, and I believe that it should be a covered item, or better yet, it should be a recalled defect!! thank you.
Both visors on my 2007 Sonata do not stay in place, I have contacted hyndai and they are unsympathetic to my situation due to the mileage, 72,000, out of warranty. Also, both of my rear door handles have broken. I have to reach around to inside of door to open rear door.
2007 Hyundai Sonata visor falls into view at random times blocking vision.
My sunvisor just fell down and it will not go back into the up position on the drivers side.
I was driving down the highway and the driver's side sun visor fell in front of my face. I swerved and narrowly missed hitting another car before I got it out of the way. The passenger sun visor is also defective and won't stay up. My car is a Hyundai Sonata. I know that Hyundai had a recall on the sun visors in the sunbelt states, but my car was not listed in that recall, even though I have the same problem. Hyundai refuses to fix the visors. After searching the internet, I have learned that many other models of Hyundais have this same problem; so obviously Hyundai's voluntary recall was to small in scope (probably on purpose).
About a year ago the sun visor on the passenger side would not stay in the up position. I checked for any recalls, but there were none. Now the driver side sun visor no longer will stay in the up position. I have researched and discovered that there are many complaints online about this problem occurring with many other 2007 Sonatas. I think most people are not aware that they can file a complaint online here about this problem. Visibility is a constant problem as the visor will not stay up and makes driving difficult. Hyundai has not responded favorably to my inquiries. How many complaints does it take before this type of problem is resolved by Hyundai. Thank you for your time.
Using sun visor as designed when the component that holds the visor in a flat position above the steering wheel audibly failed (made a breaking noise). Sun visor now will not stay in a secure flat position (the position you would put the sun visor in when you are not using the sun visor). The sun visor falls down blocking some view ahead (as it is meant to do only when you are blocking the occasional glare from the sun). This is the second sun visor from Hyundai that I have had this happen to.
My 2007 Sonata has a serious safety problem. The sun visors will not stay up and fall at random times. I have velcro attached and it still will not stay up. Causes a large problem as you are driving down the street and it falls in your face.
2007 Sonata less than 60,000 miles both sun visor passenger and driver side will not stay up. The bracket within the visor crack and is un fixable. Both visors will have to be replaced. The sun visor that will not stay up is a safety hazard and vehicles visors should be recalled.
Failure of visor on 2007 Hyundai Sonata. This first failed while under warranty and was repaired by the dealer. Now it has failed again. The visor drops down obscuring the driver's vision. Just before failure there was a squeaking noise while adjusting the visor, then failure. This problem is not unique to my Sonata as I found this link at an online site with many others having the same problem. . Read more...
Both sun visors on my 2007 Hyundai Sonata are broke. They will not stay in an up position and fall forward while I'm driving. I fear that this will cause an accident at some point.
Driver-side sunvisor droops down blocking partially the filed of view while driving. The sunvisor does not stay its upright position, which it should when not in use.
The passenger side sun visor's control arm cracked and no longer stays locked in any position. It flops down and hangs loosely. We need to use a safety pin to lock it up out of the driver's line of sight. At around 40,000 miles, the driver side visor also failed.
My sun visor suddenly stopped locking into a safe position. It falls down when I try to put it up. I hit my head on it and it impairs my vision. I can't see stop lights. I have to drive with one hand holding the visor out of my eyes and one hand on the wheel. Not exactly the 10 and 2 positions suggested for safe driving.
The driver side sun visor / shade on 2007 Hyundai Sonata has stopped staying in the 'up' position. It flops down obstructing the driver's view of the road and oncoming traffic. I discovered that a lot of people have exactly the same complaint. This is an extremely dangerous problem and needs to be addressed quickly. A replacement after market part is hard to find.
Drivers side visor when in the up position, will not stay latched in catch and falls into driver's view. When placed in the down position, it falls down and obscures drivers view of road. I will take to dealer to have it repaired.
