NHTSA Complaint #10577778 — 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT

BOTH SUN VISORS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE FAIL TO STAY IN PLACE. THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DROPPED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, HITTING ME ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD, AND HANGING IN PARTIAL OBSTRUCTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I PUSHED IT TO THE SIDE IT OBSTRUCTS MY VISION ON THE LEFT AND HANGS HAPHAZARDLY. THE FAULTY VISORS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH ARE A RESULT OF A PRODUCT DEFECT BEYOND MY CONTROL. I AM A MEMBER OF A GROWING NUMBER OF DISSATISFIED HYUNDAI OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SUN VISORS. THESE PROBLEMS POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK TO HYUNDAI DRIVERS WHOSE VISION WHILE DRIVING MAY BE OBSTRUCTED BY THESE FAULTY VISORS. THESE EXPERIENCES AND SAFETY CONCERNS/COMPLAINTS ARE LOGGED BACK AS FAR AS 2008 AND CAN BE ACCESSED AT THIS URL HTTP://HOWTOMENDIT.COM/ANSWERS.PHP?ID=157121. *TR
