“Hyundai Sonata, 2007. Under normal operating conditions, initially the passenger-side sunvisor started sagging, partially obstructing my (I.e. Driver's) view. 2 weeks later the driver-side sunvisor also started sagging, thus seriously obstructing my view and hitting me in the head. I've contacted the dealership and consumer affairs and am awaiting a response.”

NHTSA complaint #10314798, filed 2010-02, 82,000 miles“I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata and I am experiencing bad odor coming from the AC unit. It smells very bad when I turn on the AC and at times the unit blows out very warm humid air into the car while the AC is running. I changed the cabin air filter , looked for dead rodents and couldn't find any. Took the car to the dealer and they told me that it is caused by mold and mildew caused by the moisture trapped in the evaporator. My concern is the mold and mildew that can cause respatory problems for the drivers and passengers. …”
