Filed Aug 2, 2017 · Visibility · 140,000 miles · UT

Both the driver and passenger sun visors have suddenly broken and fallen down either completely or partially while driving on the highway, obstructing line of vision and becoming unusable. The break occurred at the same location on both sun visors - the plastic rod broke just above where the visor is screw mounted onto the ceiling of the car.

The sun visor on the drivers side broke and kept falling down. I went to the dealer and they wanted $278 just for the part and said they would charge extra for installing. This was way too costly, so I tried taping up the sun visor, but that did not work as the tape kept giving away and the sun visor falling would interfere with my visibility of the road. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and they installed a used sun visor at the cost of $117. The very next week the passenger side sun visor broke and fell down in exactly the same manner as the drivers side (that I had repaired the week before). I decided to do an online search for a replacement of the passenger side sun visor and everywhere I looked I found people who had the same problem with hyundai sun visors not only my 2007 hyundai elantra but other years models of hyundai and models. This is a real safety issue as the sun visor keeps falling down in your line of visibility and interferes with your ability to see the road ahead clearly and it clearly is an expensive repair and I only have 72000 moles on my vehicle. The interior of a vehicle should not be falling apart especially something like this, without touching it or moving the sun visor it just falls and will not stay up.

The sun visor on my 2007 hyundai elantra on the driver's side broke while I was driving. It did not break off completely, but hung low, obstructing my view. I tried to push it back it up and it would not stay for long and continued to fall as I was driving. This is a huge safety hazard as it continues to fall unexpectedly and obstruct my view. It is also a safety hazard to not have a sun visor as it serves a critical purpose in ensuring visibility. The sun visor on the passenger side broke in a similar manner several months ago, however that is not as impactful as it does not correctly cause a safety hazard and visibility deficiency while driving. The cost to repair is nearly $300.

I was driving on a neighborhood road and the sun visor fell down in front of my view. I have tried to shove it back into place, but it will not stay for more than a few minutes. This is impeding my view of the road and makes the car unsafe to drive. The same problem occurred with the passenger side sun visor a few months ago.

Specifically, the arm holding the visor in place broke, rending the sun visor inoperable. This is a dangerous defect! This is a major safety concern! I have done my research online, and this is a consistent problem with the 2007 elantra. Please issue a recall!

While vehicle was moving, the driver's side sun visor broke off its left hinge, obstructing my vision. This was startling and very scary, because I couldn't see. Since the incident, the passenger's side sun visor broke in the same manner.

Sun visor arm on my 2007 hyundai elantra driver side broke causing the visor to fall in front of driver face. It cannot be adjusted to block the sun from the front or the side and will not stay in a closed position to give a full view of the area ahead. This causes not only a problem with the visor hanging in your line of vision but also creates a problem with not being able to block the bright sun while driving.

While city driving the driver side sun visor swivel bracket broke and will not stay in place. Worse when the visor connector broke it was sudden and blocked visibility. Now the visor will not stay in place and keeps falling into the drivers field of vision without warning . About a month later the same problem occurred on the passenger side visor. After looking at the visor housing the only true fix is to replace the entire visor. After taking it to the local dealership they agree the only fix is to replace both visors which will cost $170 each. This should be a recall as no user error caused the broken visors and unexpectedly blocks driver visibility.
