| Description of the problem | This vehicle has defective sun visors on both the driver and passenger side. The sun visors will not remain in the up position and come down while driving and block my view through the windshield. I have already purchased and replaced the passenger side sun visor in august 2012 . My passenger side sun visor needs to be purchased or replaced i have contact hyundai via email regarding this to be a safety hazard and the visor drops down suddenly while driving and blocks the windshield view. I have reviewed other complaints regarding this same problem with other vehicle owners of this model sonata on the national highway traffic safety website. When will hyundai recall the sun visors and determine that this is a safety hazard. I have already replaced the passenger side sun visor that has the same problem as this is a safety hazard. |
