My drivers side sun visor just flops. It started to do this a week ago and when it did this I was on the tobin bridge going into boston and I almost lost total visibility. There should be a recall on this! I see many people on here with this issue. At 120. 00 for the part. . . That's not right!.

I bought my 2007 Hyundai Sonata used at carmax in 2007. Within one month, the drivers side sun visor had broken. Because the car was under warranty, it was repaired without cost. Now, over the past month, the passenger side sun visor has begun broken as well. Because my car is over the 60k point, the local Hyundai dealership where the 1st visor repair was made, says it will be a $150 repair cost. I also called Hyundai USA- they claim there was no recall on this defect. I had a Nissan sentra for 13 years, and I never had to replace the sun visors. There is obviously a safety issue with these visors, because I have seen several other complaints on the internet for the same issue. I hope that NHTSA will investigate this complaint and all the others and issue a ruling in favor of Sonata owners.

The driver sun visor in Hyundai Sonata 2007 is loose. It doesn't stay up, it just drifts down. Its a safety hazard since it happened on my passenger's side too. There are numerous complaints regarding this issue. Make this a recall since this part not covered after 60000 miles on the car. Hyundai makes it really costly to replace a single part. They charge $145 to replace a single side. This should be a recall.

Bought a 2007 hyuandi Sonata gl and both driver and passenger sun visors have broken and flop down in your front of your face while driving. They will not stay up in their clips. This is a bad distraction that could lead to a potential accident because it causes limited visibility while driving.

Both sun visors fail, you hear a pop and then they will not stay up any longer. I have already paid $100 to have one replaced now the drivers side has broken. This is a 2007 Hyundai Sonata.

2007 Hyundai Sonata sunvisor 1. Around June 25th, the passenger side sunvisor started falling down on its own, and not staying in the closed position. Then, the driver side started doing the same thing. 2. At first, I could push it back up, and it would remain up, however after a few weeks, it would not stay up at all. As soon as I would push it back up, it would fall back down. The consequences of this were as follows: when it falls down, it obstructs my line of vision. As you can imagine, the sunvisor suddenly dropping down while going 70mph is not a very safe act. This is a potential safety issue, and should be recalled ASAP. 3. Nothing has been done so far, according to Hyundai, there is a complaint for this problem, but it is considered a TSB, or technical service bulletin. A TSB is only covered during the warranty period, and since my vehicle is out of warranty, I am out of luck. I, as well as many others feel this is a safety hazard, and should be considered a recall, not a TSB. It is my understanding that in the case that a problem is safety related, a recall is put out for it. I feel that Hyundai has "masked" this problem as a TSB so they can get out of fixing all these peoples visors. I request that NHTSA look into this matter.

2007 Hyundai Sonata driver side sun visor keeps falling into my field of view. Every few seconds. All day long. It is a distraction and falls directly in front of my face.

It seems like others have had the same issue so I doubt this is an isolated issue.

The driver side and passenger side sun visors fail to stay in the upright postion. This is very distracting for the driver and can block the driver's vision.
