Over the course of my ownership my sun visors both driver side and passenger have loosened and now have come loose from the housing, causing them to not work properly. They now will not stay up completely and when you hit a bump they pop down unexpectedly hampering your vision causing a huge hazard. This happens every time I drive and have to remove them and try to find replacements to keep from dieing on the highway.

I leased my 2017 Hyundai Elantra brand new. The thermostat had to be replaced after 3 days and the car had heat for the next 3K miles. Since then the car has had poor heat and eventually just stopped producing any heat. A Hyundai rep was able to recreate the problem and updated the computer in my car. Hyundai has said my car heat has been tested and is now operational. However, my car still has no heat to defrost the windshield. The car takes a half hour of idling to warm up the engine halfway and even then the car doesn't have any heat to defrost the windshield. I live in new england where it's very cold in the winter and can't get enough heat in my car to defrost the windshield to see to drive my car. Hyundai refuses to do anything more about the heating issue, even though it's under warranty because they say it is operating as designed. I believe this is a safety issue because I can't see out the windshield.
