Visibility/Wiper
Both the drivers & passengers sun visors have broken at their internal plastic mounts. When a bump in the road is encountered the visor will drop down at the mount point and obscure visibility and create a driving distraction of trying to get it back in place. *tr

Driver side visor kept flopping down until it came loose from the bracket which held it. This happened while driving. The dealer wants $175.00 to replace the visor. *tr

Driver's sun visor detached from its pivoting hinge. This happened constantly while driving (due to normal car vibration), which caused a safe hazard. Before it was secured with adhesive, i noticed that when the cabin temperature was high (car parked under the sun), it will fall off as well while the car was stationary. Since the visor was secured with adhesive at its pivoting joint, the visor cannot be turned to…

While entering freeway, when trying to use sunvisor to safely navigate traffic the sun visor completely fell apart, the only thing holding it together is the electrical cord for the mirror. This would have easily caused an accident if there was any traffic on the road. Research on this issue showed that this is an issue that many people have had and that hyundai is aware of; they have revised the sun visor to fix…

Broken driver side visor creating a driving hazard when it kept keeps falling down obstructing the drivers line of sight. Very flimsy plastic and you are unable to easily repair it... I have since removed the visor entirely and it is still a hazard when driving into the sun. Cost to replace is $200+ which is insane for something that should much stronger. Same issue with the 2007 sonata and i suspect the same…

Just to clarify this is the limited trim package. The plastic piece that holds the visor broke while not even using it. It now hangs and flops in my line of vision while trying to drive. I have had to improvise to keep it flush with the headliner and to keep it from falling down. Obviously it can't be used to shield the sun when needed either. Only the driver's side has broken, thus far. *tr

Passenger and driver sun visors no longer lock into recesses in vehicle ceiling. They now drop down and must be secured with velcro on the cloth and super glue at the hinge. Started making a popping sound initially and eventually failed.

I, too, have had my passenger side visor break at the hinge. We have tried unsuccessfully glueing it and have finally resorted to using velcro to secure it in the up position. *tr

Both sun visors will not stay up and come down when going over a bump. They can be maneuvered back in place, but will fall down again. *tr

Last jan we had our passenger side visor fall without any manipulation and after taking the vehicle to hyundai they told us that the screws which are holding them together are rusted. In july 2012 the driver side visor also fell off and we took it to hyundai and they quoted us $380 just to have it fixed. It was hyundai who placed unusable and rusted parts in vehicles and later stated that we are out of warranty and…

The drivers side sun visor has fallen down several times and has almost caused an accident. The little black wire that powers the light is the only thing that keeps it from falling into my lap. I almost hit a car one time when it fell and it blocked my view. I was in the middle of making a left turn. Someone needs to address this and make it safer to use. *tr

Both visors fell within a week of each other as i was going down the highway hindering my view and scaring the crap out of me. I see no recalls? Isn't this a safety concern for hyundai? *tr

Both sun visors broke at about the same time. There was a poping sound, then the visors would just hang down or flop down which obstructs the driver's view. They won't stay up and when they fall it is very dangerous. I took them off and saw that a small plastic part was broken at teh same place on both of them. It is a design flaw and should be a recall for parts, at least. *tr

Sun visor fell and hit me in the eye while i was driving on the freeway. I searched the internet forums and found this is a common failure on hyundai elantra's. The visor no longer stays up. This part should be recalled before an injury is caused by this failure. *tr
