| Drivers side visor does not stay up. it seems to have broken, and also the visor light does not work. $175 to replace - not repaired, too expensive. i now extend the plastic flap and place that on top of the mirror to hold it up. very annoying and needs to be a recall by hyundai. | |||

| We purchased a 2006 hyundai elantra 12/30/2005. two days later the windshield wiper went out, the next day the other went. we called the dealership to make an appointment for service. the service guy told us to tighten the wiper down with a wrench. this worked for awhile but wipers went out intermittently. took car in for service. worked for several weeks, then went out again, when my son was driving on the parkway, luckily he was able to get off on the next exit and make it home. i called the dealership and spoke with the service guy and was told to tighten bolt again. i requested to bring the car in he told me the only thing they would do to fix the problem was tighten the bolt, and that this was a common problem with some hyundai cars, the bolt comes loose. i asked what happens if i am driving down the parkway in fast lane in a rain or snow storm and wiper stops working? that would be disastrous. this is definitely a problem that need to be fixed with something other than a bolt tightening. i filed a complaint with hyundai motor company. no action has been taken at this time. but if the company is aware of this problem there should be a recall, before someone is seriously injured. *nm | |||

| Driver's side visor would not go up for a year and hung down, affecting my visibility and was a huge risk when driving. due to the visor hanging down, it eventually became weak on the left corner and was hanging by the electrical cords (for the light) and fell off completely. now i do not have a visor at all and it affects my driving immensely as i have nothing to keep the sun out of my eyes. i have contacted hyundai several times about this issue and they claim to know nothing about it, but i know four other hyundai owners who this has also happened to. | |||

| Driver's side visor breaks off attachment- hangs from ceiling unless locked into place-useless and potential hazard. lamp connected to opening the mirror cover does not work. had it replaced at the beginning of the year following breaking. last month- right side visor breaks in the same fashion and once again, does not stay unless locked into place, a potential hazard, useless and the lamp that is supposed to turn on when the mirror cover is opened does not work again. many people have had the same issues. needs to be recalled, this is apparently a defect of the parts. *tr | |||
