    While driving, the passenger side sun visor detached and fell, swinging from the electrical wires. Went on line to check this and found many complaints of the same thing happening. Could be very dangerous and there should be a recall. Hyundai dealer ordered a new visor and can replace it, but it shouldn't happen. *tr

    Tl* the contact owns a 2003 hyundai santa fe. While driving at 55 mph and attempting to roll up the front driver side window, the window failed to roll up and curved. The contact heard a grinding noise from the window. In addition, the door opened independently and the contact was unable to close the door. The contact had to hold onto the door from the outside in order to keep the door closed. The vehicle was taken…

    A week ago my passenger side sun visor fell down and today the driver's side sun visor fell down while i was driving! Really scary, but grateful i was not going fast. There should be a recall on this! *tr

    I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden the drivers side sun visor was hanging by the mirror wires. Luckily it was held up somewhat with the clip. The plastic on the pivot side is cheap and cracked right off, there is no way to repair it and a replacement is 140.00. This is a known issue and there is a recall for the 2007 hyundai sonata sun visors for the same issue. *tr

    Steering · Suspension · Visibility

    Numerous visits to the local dealer from 2010 through this visit for clunking and banging of the suspension with concerns for safety. They begrudgingly replaced a tie rod in 2011 on one side, link assembly stabilizer on both sides, lower arm assembly on left - and now that right controller arm is faulty and could cause a crash they refuse to honor the warranty. When there are concerns of safety for over 3 years for…

    While driving on a highway at approximately 65 mph i flipped down the driver's side sun visor to block the sun. The visor broke leaving it dangling in my line of vision. Startled and stooping to see under the dangling visor i managed to hold it up and out of my way until i could find a store to purchase some duct tape. Taping it was quick temporary fix. High temperatures kept the tape from sticking securely and the…

    2 complaints: 1. My fuel injector needed to be replaced twice within a year. I deal with a local autobody and they stated this has been a problem for years. The issue causes your gas gauge to be incorrect and the car eventually stops running. Expensive to fix. 2. The driver side sun visor broke off and hung by wires while i was driving. This, again, seems to be a consistent problem with the 2007 santa fe. Why no…
