Bought a 2007 hyuandi sonata gl and both driver and passenger sun visors have broken and flop down in your front of your face while driving. They will not stay up in their clips. This is a bad distraction that could lead to a potential accident because it causes limited visibility while driving.
2007 Hyundai Sonata visibility complaints

2007 hyundai sonata sunvisor 1. Around june 25th, the passenger side sunvisor started falling down on its own, and not staying in the closed position. Then, the driver side started doing the same thing. 2. At first, I could push it back up, and it would remain up, however after a few weeks, it would not stay up at all. As soon as I would push it back up, it would fall back down. The consequences of this were as follows: when it falls down, it obstructs my line of vision. As you can imagine, the sunvisor suddenly dropping down while going 70mph is not a very safe act. This is a potential safety issue, and should be recalled asap. 3. Nothing has been done so far, according to hyundai, there is a complaint for this problem, but it is considered a tsb, or technical service bulletin. A tsb is only covered during the warranty period, and since my vehicle is out of warranty, I am out of luck. I, as well as many others feel this is a safety hazard, and should be considered a recall, not a tsb. It is my understanding that in the case that a problem is safety related, a recall is put out for it. I feel that hyundai has "masked" this problem as a tsb so they can get out of fixing all these peoples visors. I request that the federal safety agency look into this matter.
The driver side sun visor of the 2007 hyundai sonata does not stay in the up position. It either falls at an angle pointing at the drivers head or falls straight down, obstructing the drivers vision.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai sonata. The contact stated the driver's side sun visor was hanging at a ninety-degree angle and would not remain in the upward position. The visor was obstructing the driver's view of the roadway. The dealer advised that the part needed to repair the visor would have to be ordered. The dealer did not provide an estimated time of arrival. The contact was awaiting repairs. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 48,500.
The visors on my 2007 hyundai sonata hang down and will not stay out of my line of vision. This is on both sides of my car and has almost cause me to be in several accidents.
I have a 2007 hyundai sonata. About 6 months ago the drivers side sun visor broke and will not stay in the upright or down position. The $120 to fix this is prohibitive, so I have tried using tape, velcro and string to keep it up. None of these work. This is a safety issue because my field of vision is severely limited by my visor.
My drivers side sun visor just flops. It started to do this a week ago and when it did this I was on the tobin bridge going into boston and I almost lost total visibility. There should be a recall on this! I see many people on here with this issue. At 120.00 for the part...that's not right!
My sunvisor on the driver's side is floppy. There was no misuse, I was moving it to the windshield position and it became floppy for no probable reason. This is a serious issue. It causes distraction, obstructs vision and requires a hand to be removed from the steering wheel to keep it out of the way.
Sun visor is broken and falls in driver face. I see there are many other people with the same issues here. Was driving on the freeway at 65mph when this happened. Could have been very dangerous.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai sonata. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the sun visors would fall down into the contact's view of the roadway. The contact used a pin to hold the visor into place. The dealer advised that the visor could be repaired at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure occurred previously and the dealer made repairs to the visor in 2007. The failure mileage was 65,565.
I bought my 2007 hyundai sonata used at carmax in 2007. Within one month, the drivers side sun visor had broken. Because the car was under warranty, it was repaired without cost. Now, over the past month, the passenger side sun visor has begun broken as well. Because my car is over the 60k point, the local hyundai dealership where the 1st visor repair was made, says it will be a $150 repair cost. I also called hyundai USA- they claim there was no recall on this defect. I had a nissan sentra for 13 years, and I never had to replace the sun visors. There is obviously a safety issue with these visors, because I have seen several other complaints on the internet for the same issue. I hope that the federal safety agency will investigate this complaint and all the others and issue a ruling in favor of sonata owners.
The sunvisors in my 2007 hyundai sonata will not stay up and will not stay fully extended. They hang right in the line of sight. This is most certainly a mfg defect and a safety issue. I also have a 1995 gmc and 1967 pontiac both still have their original sunvisors that work perfectly.
Sun visor failure. The plastic surrounding the internal metal rod at the base of the rotational hinge has shattered. No tension exists in the visor anymore so it just freely dangles... Right in the line of vision of the driver. It is an estimated $120 replacement; $120 I am not willing to spend on a two minute procedure. This replacement visor procedure should be a complimentary operation to protect the well-being of our drivers. I've noticed that dozens of other complaints have been filed to the federal safety agency expressing concern for this very topic.
Both sun visors fail, you hear a pop and then they will not stay up any longer. I have already paid $100 to have one replaced now the drivers side has broken. This is a 2007 hyundai sonata.
Sunvisor on both sides of my hyundai sonata 2007 just fell.
Then sun visor keeps falling down. Dealer replaced under warranty but this is a widespread problem. The sunvisor drops down while driving, in line of sight, and you can't see. This should be a recall as it is a safety matter.
Passenger and driver visor both will not stay up during travel. Both fall in the vision of the driver.
Sun visors on both sides of 2007 hyundai sonata won't stay up. Both made cracking noises and no longer operate correctly. Driver's side hangs in my line of vision.
2007 hyundai sonata driver side sun visor won't stay up or down. In up position hangs so low I can't see the car in front of me. In the down position it sticks out to where it all=most hits me in the forehead, but blocks the rear view mirror. Neither is safe. This is definitely a safety hazard. The only way to be able to see & drive is to hold the visor up with 1 hand. Driving with 1 hand is still a safety hazard in case of an emergency as well as exhausting on the arm!
Sun visor on driver side was put down to block sun. When pushing it back up out of the way, visor would not stay in up position against ceiling. Sun visor now will not stay up and continually droops down blocking my view while driving. I have researched this on the internet, and there are many other drivers who have encountered this same problem. I am assuming there is a part defect, and this should be recognized and fixed by hyundai as it is a safety issue.
2007 hyundai sonata driver side sun visor keeps falling into my field of view. Every few seconds. All day long. It is a distraction and falls directly in front of my face. I have found hundreds of posts on the internet about this problem. I can't figure out a way to keep it from falling into my field of view without resorting to duct tape. I am constantly pushing it up,down, sideways. I might as well be texting. Dealer acknowledged that it was a very common problem and offered to fix it for 135.00. Same bad visor with bad design.
We have a 2007 hyundai sonata limited, purchased new. Within our warranty period (under 60,000 miles) the passenger visor would not stay up. At that time the dealer replaced it under warranty. Now it is happening again and they say it will cost us $130 to get it fixed. I guess because we are over the 60,000 miles the warranty will not cover it. It seems like others have had the same issue so I doubt this is an isolated issue.
While driving both visors above windshield fall, obstructing drivers view and causing distraction. I have a 2007 hyundai sonata and had the drivers side visor replaced twice and the drivers side visor is going to be replaced today for the 3rd time. I nearly went off interstate when visor fell down, due to the distraction caused. My hyundai dealer informed me this is a very common problem and they have been keeping visors in stock. My dealer did not have an answer as to what, if anything, is being done to correct the root cause of the problem. I find it disturbing that through doing a search on the internet for "hyundai visor problems", there are others experiencing the same problem and there does not seem to be a permanent solution offered. This could potentially result in injury, or loss of life, not only in my vehicle, but in other vehicles indirectly involved in an accident as a result of the problem mentioned.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 hyundai sonata. While driving at 35 MPH, the driver side sun visor fell into the contacts lap. She pulled over and later called the dealership. She was informed that there was no recall and she would have to pay for the repair at her expense. She called the manufacturer but was told that she was responsible for the repair costs. The current and failure mileages were approximately 86,000.
Just bought a 07 sonata gls. The driver and passenger sun visor won't stay up any more when the car is running. It keep falling down and I can't see under it. It is really a design flaw and I see many complaints about this on the internet!!!
The sun visors in my car worked fine and then the next both of them stopped working. The sun visors will not stay in the up position and hand down in my line of sight which limits my vision. Recently, this failure of the sun visor caused me to run a red light because I could not see up.
2007 hyundai sonata - driver's side sun visor will not stay up or down. Has to be tied in up position or hits driver in the forehead. Very annoying, potential safety issue. Dealer says - "if vehicle under 60,000 miles, will replace under warranty." seeing internet full of same problems, looks like it should be a safety recall free to owner no matter how many miles.
2007 hyundai sonata. Both sun visors: the plastic cracks, you hear a clicking noise then the visors will not stay up anymore. The visors hang down in your line of vision. I tried velco to fix but it is not strong enough so I literally sewed the visor to the roof of the car.
The sun visor over my driver side 2007 sonata hangs straight down. I went to adjust it and it made a crackle noise and can no longer stay up and out of the way. This is blocking visibility of the traffic lights.
I have the same prolem with my car too. Sun visor quit staying up. It slowly falls down blocking your view. This was on the drivers side. Now the passager side does it too.
