2007 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

THE SUNVISORS IN MY 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA WILL NOT STAY UP AND WILL NOT STAY FULLY EXTENDED. THEY HANG RIGHT IN THE LINE OF SIGHT. THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY A MFG DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE A 1995 GMC AND 1967 PONTIAC BOTH STILL HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL SUNVISORS THAT WORK PERFECTLY. *TR

SUN VISOR FAILURE. THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE INTERNAL METAL ROD AT THE BASE OF THE ROTATIONAL HINGE HAS SHATTERED. NO TENSION EXISTS IN THE VISOR ANYMORE SO IT JUST FREELY DANGLES... RIGHT IN THE LINE OF VISION OF THE DRIVER. IT IS AN ESTIMATED $120 REPLACEMENT; $120 I AM NOT WILLING TO SPEND ON A TWO MINUTE PROCEDURE. THIS REPLACEMENT VISOR PROCEDURE SHOULD BE A COMPLIMENTARY OPERATION TO PROTECT THE WELL-BEING OF OUR DRIVERS. I'VE NOTICED THAT DOZENS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO NHTSA EXPRESSING CONCERN FOR THIS VERY TOPIC. *TR

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. *TR

REAR BRAKE PADS ON 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH LESS THEN 25,000 MILES ON CAR WHILE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS STILL LOOKED BRAND NEW. *TR

THEN SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN. DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. THE SUNVISOR DROPS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, IN LINE OF SIGHT, AND YOU CAN'T SEE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY MATTER. *TR

PASSENGER AND DRIVER VISOR BOTH WILL NOT STAY UP DURING TRAVEL. BOTH FALL IN THE VISION OF THE DRIVER. *TR

SUN VISORS ON BOTH SIDES OF 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA WON'T STAY UP. BOTH MADE CRACKING NOISES AND NO LONGER OPERATE CORRECTLY. DRIVER'S SIDE HANGS IN MY LINE OF VISION. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V161000 THIS IS FOR A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SWITCH. WHEN MY PASSENGER SITS THERE AT TIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH WILL SHOW AIRBAG SYSTEM OFF. I HAVE PICTURES THAT CAN BE EMAILED TO YOU IF NEEDED. I SHOWED THIS TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND HYUNDAI CORPORATION. THEY SAID BECAUSE IT DID NOT FAIL AT DEALERS LOCATION THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. I SHOWED THEM THE PICTURES AND THEY STILL SAID NO TO FIX. IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF I HAD NO PROOF. AS THEY SAY A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. HELP ME. THANKS *TR

2007 HYUNDAI SONATA DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WON'T STAY UP OR DOWN. IN UP POSITION HANGS SO LOW I CAN'T SEE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IN THE DOWN POSITION IT STICKS OUT TO WHERE IT ALL=MOST HITS ME IN THE FOREHEAD, BUT BLOCKS THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. NEITHER IS SAFE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THE ONLY WAY TO BE ABLE TO SEE & DRIVE IS TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH 1 HAND. DRIVING WITH 1 HAND IS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY AS WELL AS EXHAUSTING ON THE ARM! *TR

SUN VISOR ON DRIVER SIDE WAS PUT DOWN TO BLOCK SUN. WHEN PUSHING IT BACK UP OUT OF THE WAY, VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN UP POSITION AGAINST CEILING. SUN VISOR NOW WILL NOT STAY UP AND CONTINUALLY DROOPS DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SAME PROBLEM. I AM ASSUMING THERE IS A PART DEFECT, AND THIS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AND FIXED BY HYUNDAI AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
