2006 Hyundai Accent Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Driving during normal conditions at 45 MPH, for no reason the drivers side sun visor dropped down and impaired my vision. I pulled over to the side of the road and try to return it to its normal position with no success. I have tried velcro and tape but it will not stay up. It is serious driving hazard, and judging by forums on the internet, many, many people are affected by it. Hyundai should do a recall and have the issue fixed.”

“My driver side sun visor rotation support snapped upon rotating it's closed position to it's forward position towards the windshield. It appears to have been made of plastic. It now hangs freely downward blocking my view completely. Turning it's position to the left towards the driver side window helps my forward view, but blocks my left side view completely unless I hunch down. There is no neutral position to move this visor to until I can get it fixed, which is causing a serious driving hazard. …”

“Driver's side visor would not go up for a year and hung down, affecting my visibility and was a huge risk when driving. Due to the visor hanging down, it eventually became weak on the left corner and was hanging by the electrical cords (for the light) and fell off completely. Now I do not have a visor at all and it affects my driving immensely as I have nothing to keep the sun out of my eyes. I have contacted Hyundai several times about this issue and they claim to know nothing about it, but I know four other Hyundai owners who this has also happened to.”

“We purchased a 2006 Hyundai elantra 12/30/2005. Two days later the windshield wiper went out, the next day the other went. We called the dealership to make an appointment for service. The service guy told us to tighten the wiper down with a wrench. This worked for awhile but wipers went out intermittently. Took car in for service. Worked for several weeks, then went out again, when my son was driving on the parkway, luckily he was able to get off on the next exit and make it home. I called the dealership and spoke with the service guy and was told to tighten bolt again. …”

“Drivers side visor does not stay up. It seems to have broken, and also the visor light does not work. $175 to replace - not repaired, too expensive. I now extend the plastic flap and place that on top of the mirror to hold it up. Very annoying and needs to be a recall by Hyundai.”
