The sun visor will not stay up. There is a plastic part inside that holds it in place and that apparently broke. The sun visor is not usable and just hangs down obscuring my field of view. This is a huge danger since I can't see more than 50 feet ahead of my car now and will not have time to slow down for an accident.

Driver side sun visor fell and will not stay up. I've done some research and found that the hyundai sonata had a recall for the same problem.

Drivers side visor fell down to block view of road. Will not stay up any more. Had to use velcro to hold up but gives way on hot days.

Drivers side sunscreen visor broke at the connection to the prop rod causing the sunscreen to swing down unsupported. Replaced this with another visor and the same thing happened again.

Sun visor started dropping into driver's view on it's own in 2012. Driver was able to prop it back up until it the plastic clamp that keeps it tight on rotating arm broke. It became a visibility problem while driving, so visor had to be removed. We contacted hyundai who told us it was not under warranty and we would have to pay $150 to have it replaced.

Driving down the highway at approximately 50 MPH, there was a very small bump in the road which caused the sunvisor to fall and totally block my vision. Now it will not stay up. Upon investigation, this is a very common problem on many hyundai's. They recalled some models, but most they did not. This is a known problem because the replacement part has been completely redesigned.

While driving, I pulled down the sun visor to shield my vision from the sun. I heard a strange cracking noise and the sun visor became very floppy. It will no longer stay in the up position, and this posed a visibility problem, and so I was forced to remove the sun visor. Now I have no way to shield my eyes from the sun, which also poses a visibility problem.
