| The sun visor on the passenger side of my 2007 hyundai sonata just started dropping on its own and won't go back to its normal position. the same thing happened to the driver side sun visor about 6 months ago, which had to be replaced since it was blocking site. we had to take the car to a hyundai dealer to have it replaced. | |||

| 2007 hyundai sonata driver side sun visor won't stay up or down. in up position hangs so low i can't see the car in front of me. in the down position it sticks oout to where it aln=most hits me in the forehead, but blocks the rear view mirror. neither is safe. this is definitely a safety hazard. the only way to be able to see & dirve is to hold the visor up with 1 hand. driving with 1 hand is still a safety hazard in case of an emergency as well as exhauting on the arm! | |||

| Sun visor on driver side was put down to block sun. when pushing it back up out of the way, visor would not stay in up position against ceiling. sun visor now will not stay up and continually droops down blocking my view while driving. i have researched this on the internet, and there are many other drivers who have encountered this same problem. i am assuming there is a part defect, and this should be recognized and fixed by hyundai as it is a safety issue. | |||

| 2007 hyundai sonata driver side sun visor keeps falling into my field of view. every few seconds. all day long. it is a distraction and falls directly in front of my face. i have found hundreds of posts on the internet about this problem. i can't figure out a way to keep it from falling into my field of view without resorting to duct tape. i am constantly pushing it up,down, sideways. i might as well be texting. dealer acknowledged that it was a very common problem and offered to fix it for 135.00. same bad visor with bad design. | |||

| Hyundai sonata, 2007. under normal operating conditions, initially the passenger-side sunvisor started sagging, partially obstructing my (i.e. driver's) view. 2 weeks later the driver-side sunvisor also started sagging, thus seriously obstructing my view and hitting me in the head. i've contacted the dealership and consumer affairs and am awaiting a response. *tr | |||

| I had taken my 2007 hyundai sonata to towne hyundai in denville, nj. the xm radio mysteriously stopped working one day. xm corporation had done troubleshooting with the car and determined that the signal was reaching the car and advised me to bring it to hyundai. hyundai noted that the top box for the xm radio which is located in a gulley in the trunk behind the rear passenger wheel had rusted and that there was water in my trunk. i was provided with a copy of a technical service bulletin that hyundai had written noting that water may enter the trunk through body seams, welds, body plugs and that any suspect water entry point would need to be sealed to correct further damage from occurring. the xm top box is completely non-functional due to the water damage/excessive rust. hyundai corporation has thus far refused to cover the defective body seals which is causing further rusting of the body of this vehicle as well as safety concerns if this vehicle were ever in an accident. hyundai has also refused to cover any replacement costs relating to the xm radio top box. hyundai has not been proactive in notifying customers of this defect and continually refuses to make good on its 7 year/unlimited mileage anti-perforation warranty for a defect they know exists. *tr | |||
