My car battery light went on. I replaced the battery 2x, replaced the alternator, checked the ground and all connections. My battery light flashes, then goes off then my seatbelt light blinks and goes off and my windshield wipers are not getting the power to wipe and the rear defroster turns off every time the battery light flashes. Ive been to 3 mechanics and they all say bring it to hyundai. When I brought it they said there was no recall so I left the service room and am now on the federal safety agency site.all of this is while both stationary and in motion

What 2006 Hyundai Sonata owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The sun visor on driver side keeps falling down and does not stay up. Its a safety issue when sun is in my eye and I cant do anything about it. I would hate an accident with sun in my eye and getting blinded.
Drivers side sun visor will not stay up and continuously falls down to distract my view while driving. It does this whether drive at low or high speeds; and on smooth roads.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the drivers side visor came down while the vehicle was in motion and impacted the contact's visibility several times. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and provided no solution. The failure mileage was not available. Updated 10/25/17*lj
Right frontwheel has a squeeking noise that occurs when going over bumps. Right sun visor will not stay inupright position.
The visor on both my 2006 and 2007 is broke and does not stay up. Had to glue it. Also we had an third 2007 with the same issue. This is certainly a safety hazard. The other day I almost got into an accident because I was blocking the sun with one hand and had the other on the steering wheel and had to swerve to avoid an accident and using only one hand almost had me in the other people wreck.
The sun visors in these vehicles fail, and randomly fall while driving which has nearly caused accidents on the road with me several times. They are poorly made cheap materials. The way the visor falls prevents viewing of the road entirely for several seconds until you can shove it back up, and strap it back into place, which is very unsafe.
Vehicle has 101,564 miles. Driver side visor flops down into driver field of vision. Visor will not stay in up position when operating the vehicle. Must be replaced as there is no adjustment which corrects the defective condition. After reading forums this was a common complaint by other owners.
First, oil is leaking on alternator and area around, car needs a valve cover gasket, driver airbag light stays on, passenger sun visor wont stay up, the vehicle has 149000 miles on it. There are to many complaints for these subjects, a recall needs to be issued.
Sun visor will not stay in place, visibility obstructed and dangerous.
