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

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

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…

I also am having many issues with my suv. As others have states the driver side sun visor broke off while driving. I had to cut the wire to get it to stop dangling. I now have no driver side sun visor. I also have a check engine light on due to my fuel sensors. My gas gauge fluctuates. I have to go based off mileage when to get gas. I think it is ridiculous that none of this is covered under a warranty and there has…

The passenger side sunvisor broke causing the sunvisor to fall off and block vision. One year earlier the driver side broke. This is a safety issue as visor can break while driving and obstruct vision. The plastic clip on the pivot breaks causing the failure. The visor will hang by the electrical cord and can not be removed unless you unscrew and dismantle the entire housing assembly-which isn't possible to do while…

Electrical System · Visibility
While driving down the highway, my driver's side sun visor fell from the ceiling and was dangling by the electrical wire which controls the automatic light when the visor is opened. This not only obstructed my view, but also caused a knee-jerk reaction to brake as the visor swung toward my face. Upon inspection, the plastic joint which holds the visor in place had failed. The visor had fallen despite the fact that i…

When pulling out of my driveway and traveling up the residential street, the driver side sun visor fell out of the rooftop and hit me in the head. It appears broken and i can not re-insert it without it falling out again. I rarely use the visor, and it fell out without my attempting to lower it. It appears many are having this problem with the 2007 santa fe. If hyundai won't recognize the issue, fine. I'm still…

Sun visor on passenger side became detached/broken from mooring. Hangs in view of driver from electrical wire. Same issue happened on passenger side 2 years prior. I have seen numerous comments on web from other owners of this vehicle dealing with the same issue. *js

Both driver and passenger sun visors will not stay up. A front impact would inevitably result in an open head/eye [acceleration] injury to the driver and front passenger. Advised the service writer, [xxx], @ napleton hyundai of the defect, and note on http://www.howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=157121 that this is an extremely common and worrisome safety issue that the dealer will not honor as a recall issue despite…

While driving on a two lane road and into the setting sun, the drivers side visor fell loose. It fell directly into the drivers field of vision and had to be held up with one hand as it was dangling by wires. This incident highly startled the driver and totally obstructed vision. Shortly thereafter the passenger side sun visor also fell. The local dealer said they would be happy to fix them both for $400. They were…

The passenger side sun visor suddenly dislodged from its pivot point and fell to the dashboard. I had it repaired at that time. Last week (11/07/2014) the exact same thing happened to the driver's side sun visor. I was travelling at 65 mph on the highway and it collapsed in front of me completely blocking my vision. I nearly drove off the highway since i could not see. It seems to me that this part must be defective…

The sunvisor on the driver's side broke; on the post where the visor attaches to the roof of the car. Once broken it could not be secured out of harm's way. This caused the visor to hang straight down blocking the driver's view of the road and creating a vision hazard. Secondly, the visor then was free swinging, so that it could strike the driver in an accident or just in normal driving. I have the visor and…

Passenger side sun visor fell out of "socket" and is hanging by wires. This item is rarely used. Fell as i was moving through a parking lot. Pushed back into "socket" where it stays for a few min, then falls again. My car is rarely driven, has only 16k miles on it, bought brand new. By what i have read online, it seems a costly repair, if it is even deemed fixable. Major hazard. Not to mention it being an obvious…

Back in 2011, my driver's side sun visor failed (the bracket broke at the elbow where the plastic is molded around the bracket). In looking at the part, i noted that the quality/gauge of the bracket was not very robust. I was an employee of first prince and then johnson controls, and am very familiar with sun visors and the brackets that support them. Based on my observations, the design is inferior and is not…
