2007 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

THE VISORS ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA HANG DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY OUT OF MY LINE OF VISION. THIS IS ON BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR AND HAS ALMOST CAUSE ME TO BE IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT OR DOWN POSITION. THE $120 TO FIX THIS IS PROHIBITIVE, SO I HAVE TRIED USING TAPE, VELCRO AND STRING TO KEEP IT UP. NONE OF THESE WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY FIELD OF VISION IS SEVERELY LIMITED BY MY VISOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HYUNDAI SONOTA AND BOTH OF THE SUN VISORS HAVE BROKEN. THEY WILL NOT STAY UP AND OUT OF MY LINE OF VISION WHEN I AM DRIVING. THEY DID NOT BREAK UNTIL A FEW HUNDRED MILES OUT OF WARANTY, AND THE DEALERSHIPS WANT OVER $250 TO FIX THEM WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. SINCE THEY BLOCK MY SIGHT I FEEL THAT THIS A DANGER THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH GENERAL EXCLAIM TIRES, SIZE P215/55/R17. THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE PURCHASED ON JANUARY 2, 2010. HE REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE ON MARCH 20, 2010, WHICH HAD A BLISTER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE TIRE BACK TO PLACE HE PURCHASED IT FROM AND WAS ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT PURCHASE A WARRANTY. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE ALSO HAD A BLISTER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,600 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

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. *TR

SUN VISOR IS BROKEN AND FALLS IN DRIVER FACE. I SEE THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES HERE. WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE AT A LATER DATE IF THE NOISE PERSISTED. THE NOISE CONTINUED AND THE DEALER, AGAIN, COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,565 AND THE CURRENT WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISORS WOULD FALL DOWN INTO THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT USED A PIN TO HOLD THE VISOR INTO PLACE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VISOR COULD BE REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY AND THE DEALER MADE REPAIRS TO THE VISOR IN 2007. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,565.

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. *TR
