| 2011 | STEERING | 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA, HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER SIX TIMES SINCE PURCHASED IN JUNE 2010. DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND KEEP ON YOUR SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT, ODI # 10380197. HYUNDAI STATES THE "CAR DRIVES AS DESIGNED". HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ADMIT THEIR IS A PROBLEM. SOFTWARE UPDATE ORDERED BY NHTSA DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FACTORY REP HAS REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS. 13200 MILES ON CAR NOW. ORIGINAL INCIDENT DATE 8/23/2010. CANNOT DRIVE ON ANY LONG ROAD TRIPS WITH THIS CAR. *TR |
| 2008 | VISIBILITY | WHILE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE SUN-VISOR BY PULLING IT DOWN, THE VISOR WOULD NOT MOVE, THEN MADE A POPPING SOUND. THE VISOR THEN SAGGED, AND WILL NOT RETURN TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION. AFTER RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, ESPECIALLY IN STATES WITH HOT/HUMID CONDITIONS, SUCH AS WHERE I LIVE (IN MISSISSIPPI). THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN ANY POSITION EXCEPT STRAIGHT DOWN, AND IMPEDES VISIBILITY, AND BECOMES A HAZARD WHEN GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. *TR |
