| Description of the problem | The sun visor fails to stay in the upright position. This is very distracting for the driver and can block the driver's vision. After investigating similar problems on the internet, the 2007 sonata seems to have a very high failure rate on the sun visors. The plastic part (not metal) that is responsible for holding the sun visor upright is not designed well enough to function as intended. Both of the sun visors have failed in my car. |
