Visibility/Wiper
Both the driver and passenger sun visors have suddenly broken and fallen down either completely or partially while driving on the highway, obstructing line of vision and becoming unusable. The break occurred at the same location on both sun visors - the plastic rod broke just above where the visor is screw mounted onto the ceiling of the car.

The sun visor on the drivers side broke and kept falling down. I went to the dealer and they wanted $278 just for the part and said they would charge extra for installing. This was way too costly, so i tried taping up the sun visor, but that did not work as the tape kept giving away and the sun visor falling would interfere with my visibility of the road. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and they installed a used…

The sun visor on my 2007 hyundai elantra on the driver's side broke while i was driving. It did not break off completely, but hung low, obstructing my view. I tried to push it back it up and it would not stay for long and continued to fall as i was driving. This is a huge safety hazard as it continues to fall unexpectedly and obstruct my view. It is also a safety hazard to not have a sun visor as it serves a…

Visibility/Wiper
I was driving on a neighborhood road and the sun visor fell down in front of my view. I have tried to shove it back into place, but it will not stay for more than a few minutes. This is impeding my view of the road and makes the car unsafe to drive. The same problem occurred with the passenger side sun visor a few months ago.

Visibility/Wiper
Sun visor arm on my 2007 hyundai elantra driver side broke causing the visor to fall in front of driver face. It cannot be adjusted to block the sun from the front or the side and will not stay in a closed position to give a full view of the area ahead. This causes not only a problem with the visor hanging in your line of vision but also creates a problem with not being able to block the bright sun while driving.

While vehicle was moving, the driver's side sun visor broke off its left hinge, obstructing my vision. This was startling and very scary, because i couldn't see. Since the incident, the passenger's side sun visor broke in the same manner.

Visibility/Wiper
The sun visor on my 2007 elantra broke, and it happened when i was driving and trying to adjust the visor to shield my eyes from the sun. Specifically, the arm holding the visor in place broke, rending the sun visor inoperable. This is a dangerous defect! This is a major safety concern! I have done my research online, and this is a consistent problem with the 2007 elantra. Please issue a recall!

Visibility/Wiper
While driving down the highway, approximately 50 mph, the passenger's visor suddenly came out of the stored position and hung down. It would not stay in place in the stored position. This happened months ago. Last week on 10/30/15, the driver's visor suddenly would not stay in up position and hung down, swinging back and forth while driving, obscuring my view. This should be a recall as it's a safety issue.

Driving west at sunset, i pulled my visor down on the drivers side to shield the sun and it completely fell down. The only thing holding it up somewhat are the visible wires and the support clip on the right. This is a hazard due to the fact that i cannot pull the visor completely up in place. It has one position which does not shield the sun and also blocks line of sight for side mirror on drivers side. This is a…

While city driving the driver side sun visor swivel bracket broke and will not stay in place. Worse when the visor connector broke it was sudden and blocked visibility. Now the visor will not stay in place and keeps falling into the drivers field of vision without warning . About a month later the same problem occurred on the passenger side visor. After looking at the visor housing the only true fix is to replace…

The driver's side sun visor support broke, causing it to hang down and obstruct visibility. I am able to push it back up into place, but it falls again after a few days on smooth roads or more quickly, if the roads are rough.

The visor on the driver's side broke and fell into my face while driving on the freeway. The plastic piece that holds it into the roof of the car is not attached. The only thing holding the visor there is a black wire. The visor cannot be used to shield from the sun and is extremely dangerous to drive with, as it hangs low even when it is folded up towards the roof of the car. Today, 10/7, i went to check the…

The driver side sun visor came down unexpectedly, hitting me in the face, and obstructed my view while traveling at 65mph. Once i pulled over, i found the plastic piece that secures the visor to the top of the car broke inside, leaving a plastic ring inside. Upon research i found this is a frequent failure for hyundai, but no recall has been issued on the elantra only on the sonata ~2006, but the parts are…

I was driving down the road when my driver side sun visor suddenly dropped several inches obstructing my view. The plastic arm has apparently snapped, allowing the visor to shift from the "up" position. This has also happened on the passenger side several months ago! The visors are no longer usable since they are too low when in the "down" position and obstruct the view. This presents a hazard in three ways, first…

Service Brakes · Visibility/Wiper
Both sun visor's would randomly fall from its hinge and would block my visibility while driving. The rear brake calipers have never worked. Especially with such low mileage. I have recently had a brake inspection and the front left caliper was the only brake that has been functional for the past 20,000 miles.

I was driving at a lower rate of speed in a highly residential area when the sun visor broke off from its pin from the ceiling of the trim, hit me in the face, and dangled from the electrical cord, blocking my whole line of vision. The incident scared me when it hit me in the face as well as blocked my sight and i swerved into oncoming traffic nearly hitting a car. I had to physically hold the visor out of my way…

Sunvisor kept falling impairing view of the driver. At first i could push it back in but the hinge is broken. I have tried velcro, tape etc to keep it up. Will fall randomly while driving and dangle in front of my vision. I want to take it off but cant because of wires. This is a safety hazard. It will work for several weeks then fall again and cannot get it to stay up. Have found this is a common problem. It needs…

My passenger sun visor will not stay up and it constantly falls while driving or running over a bump. It's very aggravating and it needs to be fixed before causing an accident. *tr

Problem: the driver side visor fell down from the up position when trying to put it up. For a while, i was able to get it *almost* all the way up, to preserve visibility. However, i was unable to use the visor in any other position. Upon taking apart the mount which secures the visor to the roof, i saw that a plastic ring had broken off the visor arm. Drove with the visor low. Two-three months later, the passenger…
