NHTSA Complaint #10418384 — 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA

HINGE ON DRIVER SIDE VISOR OF 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS HAS BROKE AND VISOR NO LONGER STAYS UP. WENT TO PULL VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK SUN AND IT SNAPPED AND NOW THE VISOR JUST HANGS THERE. I HAVE TO FLIP THE VISOR BACKWARDS INTO THE BRACKET TO KEEP IT OUT OF VIEW. HAVE CONTACT DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I AM 4 MONTHS OUT OF MY WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. AFTER VIEWING MULTIPLE FORUMS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL PLACED FOR THESE. THEY POSE SUCH A HAZARD IN BLOCKING ONES VIEW FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC, STOP LIGHTS, PEDESTRIANS, ETC. CONSIDERING ALL THE ISSUES THAT HYUNDAI USED TO HAVE WITH THEIR VEHICLES, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE CORRECTED AND PLACED A RECALL FOR. *TR
