Passenger side sun visor suddenly rotated down and will not stay up. This blocks drivers view. A few weeks prior to total failure, the visor would not stay completely up but was only about 10 degrees down. There is a plastic tube with a metal tube inside which the visor pivots on. The plastic tube is broken allowing it to hang straight down. If/when the same breakage occurs on the drivers side it could cause an accident due to blocking vision.

The driver side sun visor on my 2008 hyundai sonata is defective. The visor will not stay up and hangs down obstructing the drivers vision. This is a serious safety issue! This seems to be an issue on many 2008 hyundai sonatas The only recall is for 2006-2007. Yet this dangerous issue is happening on other years. Please resolve this

The headlights on my car are angled too low while using low-beams and the visibility at night is bad. This has been an issue for the entire time I have had this car and I am now aware that I can file a complaint against it. High-beams seem to function ok.

I hit a minor bump in the road, the sun visor suddenly dropped down in front of my face - blocking the view of the road. I pushed it back up into its normal "resting" location. Upon hitting another bump in the road it swung down again in front of my face. This is the second sun visor in this vehicle to do this. This one started failing around 10/1/2016, and is still doing so.

The driver side and passenger side sun visors both dropped to a downward position and will not hold thier place so they block view of road. The driver side dropped while driving which caused momentary inability to view the road. After reading other compliants this doesnt appear to be isolated and Hyundai should solicit a recall of these visors as they impair the drivers ability to see the road. This event happened randomly with no warning and I would consider a safety hazard.

Both the driver and passenger visors lost their grip and fall down automatically and cause sudden impact to the view and could potentially cause a safety issue.

Sun visor problems - driver's side sun visor fell to a downward position and would not hold any position adjustment, not even all the way up. Made driving unsafe because it impaired visibility. Hyundai replaced it under warranty. About a year later, the same thing happened with the sun visor on the passenger side. With the vehicle out of warranty, I had to purchase the part for nearly $100 and replace it myself. This should definitely be a safety recall, thankfully it didn't happen in dense traffic.

While driving on the expressway, the sun visor fell in front of my face, impeding visibility. Fortunately, this did not result in a crash, but it could have. Now, the visor will not stay up. This defect is significant enough that there is a campaign for it, but it applies only to certain regions of the country. Visiting online forums, this appears to be a very common problem, even in locations that are not covered by the campaign. This campaign needs to be extended. This is clearly a safety issue but is being treated as a cosmetic issue.

Driver's side sun visor will not stay up. According to my online research, this is a most common problem for this vehicle. It is already the subject of a 2009 technical service bulletin, but is an obvious safety hazard deserving of a recall.

While driving on the Ohio turnpike, the driver's sunvisor dropped down from the upright position and partially blocked my forward vision. Subsequently the passenger side also refused to stay in the upright position. When I consulted with the dealer I was informed that I was 4 months out of the warranty period. I then contacted Hyundai customer assistance and received a case number and was also told that the warranty did not apply. I was also told that I could have the parts replaced and apply to them for reimbursement but that there was no guarantee that I would be reimbursed for the parts or the replacement. I have since seen a Hyundai technical service bulletin for 2008my Hyundai Sonata sunvisor replacement (service campaign T97) dated November 2009 which states that it applies to the western, SC, and southern regions only. Since it's description states "on some 2008 Sonata vehicles, the sun visor may not stay in the stored (up) position. This bulletin provides the service procedure to replace the sun visor assemblies." Applicable production date range, March 6, 2007 to January 10, 2008. Since my vehicle was built January 02, 2008 this would apply if I lived in any of those states (which I do not). Since this a not only a defective assembly but a serious safety issue, I fail to see why this should be limited to only those regions and not to all areas. At the very least it should be handled as a customer satisfaction issue even past the warranty period.
