2006 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

2006 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS A AIR BAG PROBLEM. *NJ THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PASSENGER SIDE BUCKLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA REGARDING THE STOP LAMP SWITCH. I KNEW I HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN ON JUNE 24, 2009, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $275.00 TO REPAIR. I CANNOT AFFORD SUCH REPAIR. THEN THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPT. CAME AND OFFERED TO REPAIR IT FOR LESS, BUT THAT HE WOULD CALL ME LATER WITH A QUOTE. I NEVER RECEIVED SUCH A CALL. TODAY, I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO SERVICE DEPT. AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE UNTIL ABOUT 7:00 IN THE EVENING TO REPAIR, WHEN I TOLD THEM I COULD NOT BE WITHOUT A CAR THAT LONG, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO SEE IF EVEN MY CAR QUALIFIED FOR THIS RECALL. THE PERSON CAME BACK TO SAY THAT MY CAR DID NOT. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE TO THIS REQUEST. THE WOMAN TAKING DOWN MY INFORMATION DID NOT EVEN LISTEN TO THE OTHER THINGS I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT, SUCH AS A RUBBER (DO NOT KNOW CORRECT NAME) FELL OFF FROM THE SUNROOF AND OTHER ITEMS. SHE DID NOT EVEN HEAR ABOUT THOSE ITEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN EVER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS FELL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND BLOCKED THE DRIVERS VIEW IN FRONT OF HIM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SUN VISORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 45000.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA AND I TURNED INTO THE SUN PULLED DOWN MY VISOR AND IT BROKE AND WOULDN'T STAY UP TWO WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING U WOULDN'T THINK A VISOR WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT SURE IS WHEN IT WONT STAY UP OR OUT OF YOUR FACE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER THEY SAID THEY HAVE A RECALL BUT THAT MINE WASN'T ON IT APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD THEN THEY SAY THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS HE REPLACES ATLEAST ONE A DAY THAT ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

BOTH SUN VISORS ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA BROKE AND FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS HAD 2 FAILURES OF THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR. THE 1ST WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY; THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IN EACH CASE IT HAS DROPPED INTO THE FULLY DEPLOYED POSITION WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF VISION. *TR

2006 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS BURNING OUT. *NJ THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE ABS/ESC LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THE PROBLEM HE WAS EXPERIENCING. RECALL # 09V122000. *JB

THE VISOR ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA DOES NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT WILL FALL DOWN INTO MY FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING UNLESS I HOLD IT UP. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE DO NOT STAY IN THE UP AND STOWED POSITION WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THEY FALL DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND BLOCK THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VISION WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND IT NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR FREEWAY ACCIDENT. THE VISOR FELL DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE I WAS ON THE I-15 FREEWAY AND IT HAPPENED RIGHT AS I WAS SWITCHING LANES DURING A VERY CONGESTED TIME OF THE DAY. AS I TRIED TO MOVE THE VISOR AND TOOK MY EYES OFF THE ROAD AND THE TRAFFIC AROUND AND NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR FREEWAY ACCIDENT. I FINALLY GRABBED THE VISOR AND TORE IT OUT OF THE OVERHEAD MOUNT AND TOSSED IT IN THE BACK SEAT! THAT IS HOW EXTREME AND HAZARDOUS THESE DARN VISORS ARE TO SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION. *TR

BOTH OF THE SUN VISORS ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA BROKE UNDER NORMAL ACTIVITY. THEY WERE NOT PULLED ON OR USED INAPPROPRIATELY. BOTH WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD BECAUSE IT LIMITS VISIBILITY AND IS A DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER OF THE CAR. OFTEN TIMES, I HIT MY HEAD ON THE VISOR. NIGHT TIME IS THE MOST DIFFICULT TIME BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON TO HAVE THE VISOR DOWN (NO SUNLIGHT) BUT THE VISOR HINDERS PROPER VISION OF THE ROAD. *TR
