Sun visor on driver side is broken (won't stay up) and the sun visor drops down vertically blocking the driver's field of view. This problem was part of a recall in the two prior year models (2007 and 2008), but hyundai refuses to acknowledge the problem persists in the 2009 year model
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 hyundai sonata. While driving 56 MPH, there was an extremely loud noise coming from the roof of the vehicle. The contact noticed that the sun roof shattered. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,351.
Lowering the driver side sun visor made a crackling noise then the visor would not stay in a fixed position up or down. Currently, I taped it up to old it out of my field of vision for driving until I can get it to the dealer.
Driver's side sun visor suddenly made a "crack" noise during normal operation and now the visor does not stay in place. I am not unable to use during bright sunny days because it greatly reduces my visibility by not staying in position. Instead I have to fight the sun which is dangerous too.
Driving along and driver side sun visor fell to down position. It will not stay up.
On april 13th, the weather was warm in the middle of the afternoon. I opened up my sunroof with intent to open it only partially. I have tried unsuccessfully to close my sunroof now. The mechanism that slides shut, does not work properly anymore. When the roof gets to the point of closing, it automatically goes back. I had to inch the sunroof closed as far as possible. I had to place plastic in the connection area to keep as much rain and wind out.
