NHTSA Complaint #10464582 — 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS DEFECTIVE AND IS CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION.THE VISOR BEGAN DROPPING FROM THE "UP" POSITION TOWARD THE CEILING. IT WOULD NOT STAY UP. ITS BOTTOM WAS RIGHT AT MY LINE OF VISION. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND HAD MISSED THE BUMPER TO BUMPER 5 YR. OR 60K WARRANTY BY 3 DAYS! THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $100 TO REPLACE AND INSTALL. TODAY WHILE DRIVING MY HUSBAND WAS TRYING TO MOVE IT OUT OF HIS LINE OF VISION AND WE HEARD A NOISE AND THE WHOLE THING JUST LOST ALL IT'S SUPPORT. HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF AND WE WERE HOPING TO FIND SCREWS WE COULD JUST TIGHTEN, BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE. NOW, WITH IT JUST HANGING IT INTERFERES WITH MY VIEW AND IS A HAZARD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE!!! I DON'T HAVE $100 TO SPEND ON A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM FOR THE SONOTA. THE ONLY OTHER HYUNDAI OWNER IS MY NEIGHBOR; THEY HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN ON THEIR NEW CAR. CAN YOU HELP US???? *TR
