Visibility/Wiper
Driver side sun visor broke when adjusting. The visor fell and was dangling in front of my face hanging on the wire for the vanity light. It startled me and i swerved. Luckily there was no accident. The part cannot be satisfactorily reinserted in the socket. It stays in place only temporarily. A quick search of the internet found this to be a common problem. Hyundai apparently takes no responsibility for these…

While traveling down the interstate at 75+ mph, the sun visor in my 2007 santa fe broke from the 'elbow' and fell down into my field of view!!! The passenger side also broke but not during actual use, while traveling but at a low speed, over a bump. The visors aren't even used with any frequency and certainly aren't abused, yet both are broken completely free and useless! This is unacceptable. *tr

Was driving when all of a sudden the sun visor on driver's side dropped down. Couldn't flip it back up to stay intact. Kept falling down impairing my vision. Plastic piece eventually broke off and so i tried to use velcro to keep the visor from blocking my vision while i drove the vehicle. Didn't work. Wire broke a couple days later sending the whole visor down falling on my lap. Now as of 8/29/12 the passenger sun…

Driving on highway exit ramp into the setting sun when my drivers side sin visor flopped down in front of me. It had broken loose from the upper holder evidently and was dangling by the two vanity mirror wires. I was able to pull to the side of the ramp without being hit, but not sure how. I notice that there are several complaints lodges for this exact situation, but no recall has been ordered. This is most…

I was driving my 2007 hyundai santa fe with a passenger in the front seat. The passenger side sun visor fell down in front of her obstructing her view. A few days later, the driver side sun visor fell down in front of me obstructing my view. Neither visor could be fixed as the plastic on the tip was cracked. *tr

While driving, driver's side visor became disconnected from its attachment point. This detachment caused the visor to dangle by wires and the inside clip which resulted in completely blocking the driver's forward vision. Reinserting the visor is a temporary fix as it falls out randomly from 5 seconds to a couple days after reinserting. Similar thing happened to the passenger side visor a year earlier. *tr

While i was driving on the highway at about 60 mph the driver sunvisor just broke off and fell right infront of me, because of the wires to the mirror on the sunvisor, the sunvisor was just hanging in front of me. This almost caused me to get into an accident with traffic. I took the vehicle to the dealership to get the sunvisor changed and i was told it was not covered under the warranty. I have done some research…

At approximately 90000 miles, the passenger side sun visor would no longer stay "up". It began hanging down, with the wires exposed. We did not take it to a dealer, but removed the visor. Now, at 150000 miles, the drivers side visor did the same thing while driving, impairing the driver's visibility. I had to hold it up out my view until i arrived home. *tr

We flipped down the driver side visor as usual and always take good care of the vehicle but this time you could hear it crack. From that moment on we were fighting with it while driving many times. It became to oserious of a driving hazard mixed with a drain on the battery as the visor light would stay on due to the wire insulation breaking through from wear due to stress from the weight of the hanging visor and…

I have had so many problems with my car. The first problem began years ago with the low beam headlights. I have to replace the headlights for both right and left side about 5 to 6 times per year. This can get very expensive especially if i were to get a ticket. The second problem are the rear tires. I noticed about two years ago that the tires get worn out much quicker than the others, so i'm constantly rotating…
