2007 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

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. *TR

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. *TR

THE SUN VISORS HAVE BROKEN TWICE ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. THIS BLOCKS MY VISION. VERY UNSAFE. *TR

INTERMITTENT REAR BRAKE NOISE ON 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA FOR OVER 1YEAR. TWICE INSPECTED AT DEALERS SHOP, NO PROBLEM FOUND AND ALL DISC BRAKE PADS WITHIN SPECS. I NOTICED RECENTLY AT 42,000 MILES THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE STEEL REAR WHEEL WAS GETTING EXTREMELY HOT DUE TO REAR BRAKES OVERHEATING. MY DEALER STATED THAT PASS. SIDE REAR BRAKE PAD HAD WORN DOWN ALMOST COMPLETELY DUE TO "BRAKE PAD SLIDES STICKING ON CALIPERS". NEW SET OF REAR BRAKES WERE INSTALLED AT COST OF 240.00 . MY DEALER AND HYUNDAI CORPORATION BOTH STATED THAT REPAIR WORK WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF REAR BRAKE PAD PREMATURE FAILURE BUT THE UNKNOWN EFFECT ON THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS DUE TO OVERHEATING OF BRAKES/WHEEL. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

STARTED HEARING NOISE FROM REAR BRAKES. FOUND LEFT REAR OUTSIDE PAD WAS WORN TO THE METAL AND RUINED THE ROTOR. ALL REMAINING PADS HAVE 50% OR BETTER REMAINING ON THE LININGS. THE WORN PAD WAS STUCK TIGHT TO THE ANTI RATTLE CLIP. I REPLACED THE REAR PADS, CLIPS AND LEFT SIDE ROTOR. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR OF THE 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA DOES NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT EITHER FALLS AT AN ANGLE POINTING AT THE DRIVERS HEAD OR FALLS STRAIGHT DOWN, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WAS HANGING AT A NINETY-DEGREE ANGLE AND WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPWARD POSITION. THE VISOR WAS OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VISOR WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,500.
