Passenger visor failed a few months ago. Driver visor failed shortly after (around 60,000 miles). This appears to be a known problem with hyundai's manufactured after 2007. Dealer would charge $176 per visor, but absorb the cost of installation. One passenger banged her head when getting in the car. Driver's visor has fallen on my head several times -- a hazard in my opinion.

Body · Suspension
The rear suspension cross member rotted where the control arm attaches to it and broke free. The control arm then fell down and the entire rear tire and suspension was dragged underneath the rear end of the car. The metal that the control arm attaches to is very thin and the only thing under the car that is not undercoated is that suspension cross member. If this part broke free at 55mph i may not have survived the…

At my 30,000 mile maintenance work ($600.+), i was called back to shop to show me "very dangerous" corrosion around rear axle/frame parts. I bought this car new from same dealer and was sold a $800. Warranty rust-proofing application. It was clear that where no coating was applied, rust was there and i was told it would be risky driving the car. The low millage and no history of the car being driven in salt water…

They were covered by warranty and repaired after a small fight with the dealership. The last one broke in february of this year. The vehicle has been garaged every night, no matter the weather. I've never had more than one door…

Two door handles have broken on my 2007 hyundai elantra. Both of them were on the passenger side of the vehicle. They both broke at the same place, a plastic part inside the small piece that the handle fits into. (this small piece stays on the car while the door handle lifts up.) the back door broke off in july, while the front door handle broke this weekend, in august. I am concerned that the driver's door handle…
