Hyundai Sonata Unknown Or Other Safety Report | Apr 07, 2011
Reported on Apr 07, 2011
| THE SUN VISORS ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH (VERTICALLY) TO PREVENT THE SUN FROM HITTING CENTER OF WINDSHIELD AREA AND BLINDING DRIVER. I'VE HAD TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO REGAIN MY CONTROL AND MY CLEAR VIEW. THE CAR WAS PURCHASE ON 12/19/10 AND AT THE TIME I NOTICED THAT THE SUN SHIELD THAT THEY SOLD ME AT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HARDLY STAY IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THE VERTICAL SHORTNESS OF THE SUN VISORS BUT WHEN THE HOUR WAS CHANGED TO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME IS WHEN I REALLY REALIZED THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF THE SUNSET. EVEN RAISING THE DRIVER'S SEAT ALL THE WAY UP IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID BEING BLINDED BY THE SUN; IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE CONSUMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF HYUNDAI BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. | |
