Example complaints

“I just filed a complaint about my 2006 and this is for my 2007 Hyundai visor. It is broke and a safety issue. I also read there was a recall for this visor issue in some states, but not all or mine in illinois. Not sure how true this is, but in any case should be a recall for all affected vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #10918905, filed 2016-10, 70,000 miles“I pulled my visor down to block the sun. Plastic crushed and broke at the visor pivot arm. Now the visor will not stay up and this is a safety issue! Visibility of the road is hindered. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I hardly use my visor so wear and tear is not an issue. This should be corrected by Hyundai but I am passed my warranty period.”
NHTSA complaint #10503852, filed 2013-03, 79,600 miles“Upon purchase of my used 2007 Sonata almost immediately both sun visors broke. We were informed it wasn't under warranty. I have lived with it but it is a safety hazard and upon searching for a recall I found this has affected thousands of unhappy Sonata owners. I found a service bulletin that applies to only certain states. What's the deal with that... Should be all states.”
NHTSA complaint #10505555, filed 2013-04, 36,152 miles“I was driving straight down a city street at approximately 20mph when I heard a loud bang and saw glass fly from my car in my rear view mirror. I pulled off the road and saw that my sunroof glass panel had completely shattered, leaving a hole about a foot in diameter. There was no object that hit my car. I had my sunroof cover closed; I would have been seriously injured and likely to cause a wreck if it had been left opened.”
NHTSA complaint #10819191, filed 2016-01, 111,200 miles“My sunvisor on the passenger side dropped down and will not go back to the upright position. This is the second time my sunvisor has broken. One on each side. I have spent 100 dollars replacing the other side. I do not have any children in my car, it is just myself and my husband. This is ridiculous that it broke for no apparent reason.”
