I WAS DRIVING ON A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AND THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN IN FRONT OF MY VIEW. I HAVE TRIED TO SHOVE IT BACK INTO PLACE, BUT IT WILL NOT STAY FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS IMPEDING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR A FEW MONTHS AGO.

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 ELANTRA BROKE, AND IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO ADJUST THE VISOR TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN. SPECIFICALLY, THE ARM HOLDING THE VISOR IN PLACE BROKE, RENDING THE SUN VISOR INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH ONLINE, AND THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 ELANTRA. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL!

WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF ITS LEFT HINGE, OBSTRUCTING MY VISION. THIS WAS STARTLING AND VERY SCARY, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE. SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE IN THE SAME MANNER.

SUN VISOR ARM ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA DRIVER SIDE BROKE CAUSING THE VISOR TO FALL IN FRONT OF DRIVER FACE. IT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO BLOCK THE SUN FROM THE FRONT OR THE SIDE AND WILL NOT STAY IN A CLOSED POSITION TO GIVE A FULL VIEW OF THE AREA AHEAD. THIS CAUSES NOT ONLY A PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR HANGING IN YOUR LINE OF VISION BUT ALSO CREATES A PROBLEM WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO BLOCK THE BRIGHT SUN WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE CITY DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SWIVEL BRACKET BROKE AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. WORSE WHEN THE VISOR CONNECTOR BROKE IT WAS SUDDEN AND BLOCKED VISIBILITY. NOW THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE AND KEEPS FALLING INTO THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VISION WITHOUT WARNING . ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR. AFTER LOOKING AT THE VISOR HOUSING THE ONLY TRUE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE VISOR. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY AGREE THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE BOTH VISORS WHICH WILL COST $170 EACH. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS NO USER ERROR CAUSED THE BROKEN VISORS AND UNEXPECTEDLY BLOCKS DRIVER VISIBILITY.
