2007 Hyundai Santa Fe VISIBILITY/WIPER

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75+ MPH, THE SUN VISOR IN MY 2007 SANTA FE BROKE FROM THE 'ELBOW' AND FELL DOWN INTO MY FIELD OF VIEW!!! THE PASSENGER SIDE ALSO BROKE BUT NOT DURING ACTUAL USE, WHILE TRAVELING BUT AT A LOW SPEED, OVER A BUMP. THE VISORS AREN'T EVEN USED WITH ANY FREQUENCY AND CERTAINLY AREN'T ABUSED, YET BOTH ARE BROKEN COMPLETELY FREE AND USELESS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE WHEN ADJUSTING. THE VISOR FELL AND WAS DANGLING IN FRONT OF MY FACE HANGING ON THE WIRE FOR THE VANITY LIGHT. IT STARTLED ME AND I SWERVED. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE PART CANNOT BE SATISFACTORILY REINSERTED IN THE SOCKET. IT STAYS IN PLACE ONLY TEMPORARILY. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. HYUNDAI APPARENTLY TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SUN VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DROPPED DOWN. COULDN'T FLIP IT BACK UP TO STAY INTACT. KEPT FALLING DOWN IMPAIRING MY VISION. PLASTIC PIECE EVENTUALLY BROKE OFF AND SO I TRIED TO USE VELCRO TO KEEP THE VISOR FROM BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE I DROVE THE VEHICLE. DIDN'T WORK. WIRE BROKE A COUPLE DAYS LATER SENDING THE WHOLE VISOR DOWN FALLING ON MY LAP. NOW AS OF 8/29/12 THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR IS DOING THE SAME THING. THERE ARE SOOO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SPECIFICALLY THE 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE VISORS BREAKING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. MAJOR VISION IMPAIRMENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN IN FRONT OF HER OBSTRUCTING HER VIEW. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN IN FRONT OF ME OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. NEITHER VISOR COULD BE FIXED AS THE PLASTIC ON THE TIP WAS CRACKED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM ITS ATTACHMENT POINT. THIS DETACHMENT CAUSED THE VISOR TO DANGLE BY WIRES AND THE INSIDE CLIP WHICH RESULTED IN COMPLETELY BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S FORWARD VISION. REINSERTING THE VISOR IS A TEMPORARY FIX AS IT FALLS OUT RANDOMLY FROM 5 SECONDS TO A COUPLE DAYS AFTER REINSERTING. SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR A YEAR EARLIER. *TR
