1 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2012

This vehicle has defective sun visors on both the driver and passenger side. The sun visors will not remain in the up position and come down while driving and block my view through the windshield. I have already purchased and replaced the passenger side sun visor in August 2012 . My passenger side sun visor needs to be purchased or replaced I have contact Hyundai via email regarding this to be a safety hazard and the visor drops down suddenly while driving and blocks the windshield view. I have reviewed other complaints regarding this same problem with other vehicle owners of this model Sonata on the national highway traffic safety website. When will Hyundai recall the sun visors and determine that this is a safety hazard. I have already replaced the passenger side sun visor that has the same problem as this is a safety hazard.

2 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2011

Windshield visor drivers side flops down obstructing vision. Will not stay up and out of the way when pushed forward or back.

3 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2010

My sunvisor on the driver's side is floppy. There was no misuse, I was moving it to the windshield position and it became floppy for no probable reason. This is a serious issue. It causes distraction, obstructs vision and requires a hand to be removed from the steering wheel to keep it out of the way.

4 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2010

Driver's side sun visor will not remain in place and obstructs the driver's view. It started to sag just a little a few months ago, and now will not stay up. I have to push it forward and it will stay pushed against the windshield for now. If it fails any further it will obstruct my view entirely.

5 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2010

While driving both visors above windshield fall, obstructing drivers view and causing distraction. I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata and had the drivers side visor replaced twice and the drivers side visor is going to be replaced today for the 3rd time. I nearly went off interstate when visor fell down, due to the distraction caused. My Hyundai dealer informed me this is a very common problem and they have been keeping visors in stock. My dealer did not have an answer as to what, if anything, is being done to correct the root cause of the problem. I find it disturbing that through doing a search on the internet for "Hyundai visor problems", there are others experiencing the same problem and there does not seem to be a permanent solution offered. This could potentially result in injury, or loss of life, not only in my vehicle, but in other vehicles indirectly involved in an accident as a result of the problem mentioned.
