While I was driving down the highway, the driver's side visor spontaneously fell down blocking my view. The visor would no longer stay in an upright position. After doing some research, this appears to be a common issue with the model year of my vehicle. Hyundai has a technical service bulletin out for numerous states, but apparently, it doesn't cover my state and vehicle. They are refusing to repair the visor at no cost to me, even though this appears to be a safety issue. It's concerning there is no recall that has been issued for this issue.

- Jackson, MI, USA

The sun visors on these cars (as well as 2006 and 2008 models, I believe) are defective. They do not stay up, which causes visibility issues. This is a well-known issue among Sonata owners, and Hyundai has known about this for years. They refuse to issue a recall, and dealerships want over $100 per visor to fix.

Both sunvisors have lost their tension and now flop down anytime there is movement while driving. It startled me while driving. I am having to use double sided sticky tape to hold it in place now making the sunvisor not usable.

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

The driver's side sun visor tensioner broke (defective), allowing the visor to move down to a point where it was directly in your eyes, affecting road visibility. After researching the internet, it was determined to be a quick do-it-yourself fix after purchasing the visor on-line for less than $50. However, after reviewing the multiple complaints on this same problem, a decision was made to add weight to this common problem that Hyundai has failed to address.

- Sunbury, OH, USA

The driver's side sun visor mechanism broke and the visor now hangs down impairing the driver's visibility. This is a common complaint for this model year Sonata according to my internet research. Hyundai has issued technical serv. Bulletin #09-01-00, Feb. 2009 re: This problem to its dealers so it obviously is a common problem. Also see NHTSA item #10028945.

Sun visor won't stay up.

- Ocala, FL, USA

The sun visor has become very loose and keeps opening up blocking my view of the road.

- Edison, NJ, USA

Upon purchase of my used 2007 Sonata almost immediately both sun visors broke. We were informed it wasn't under warranty. I have lived with it but it is a safety hazard and upon searching for a recall I found this has affected thousands of unhappy Sonata owners. I found a service bulletin that applies to only certain states. What's the deal with that... should be all states.

- Dent, MN, USA

The driver and passenger sun visors do not stay in the upright position. They fall down while driving, causing visibility problems and potential head injury. Contacted dealer, and then escalated thru Hyundai regional service organization to get this addressed according to Hyundai technical service bulletin 08-01-029, Hyundai recall campaign T64. Hyundai refused to service vehicle under the recall, despite the VIN being included in the recall classification.

- Fort Collins, CO, USA

2007 Sonata both sun visors have failed still under 70,000 miles. The passenger side changed under warranty, it began sagging again a few months after replacement. Yesterday the drivers side made a cracking sound, it is now completely hanging down, interfering with my view.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Both visors have broken, along with the drink holder in the middle console. There is a recall for a 2007 Hyundai Sonata in some states; however, my vehicle apparently isn't included in that. I have been reading forums on this problem and it is apparent it, in fact, is a problem and needs a resolution to both defects. I contacted Hyundai about it and they say that my VIN is "not covered". I think it is ludacrous that Hyundai doesn't take action to fix this and they will continue to lose customers.

- Pittsburg, TX, USA

Passenger side sun visor has "sprung" and will no longer stay in the up or down position. This impedes driver visibility and also creates a hazard for a passenger getting into the car. A passenger recently struck her head on the visor while getting into the car.

- Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Sun visors suddenly broke and fell into driver's field of vision. Even when snapped into upright position, they drop and block visibility. This issue has not been experienced in any other vehicle. This is a safety concern and should be a recall item as research indicates that this has been a known issue for some time.

- Appleton , WI, USA

Sun visors will not stay up, especially in warmer conditions. This is a safety issue as when they drop to down position while driving visibility is impaired. Almost ran a red light recently because they fell down and I could not see the light any longer.
