NHTSA Complaint #10587794 — 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT

SUN VISORS ARE BROKEN ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. I'VE BEEN LOOKING ON THE WEB THIS MORNING AND AM AMAZED BY HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VISORS. IT'S REALLY QUITE PROBLEMATIC AS THESE BOTH DON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY NOW AND HINDER VISIBILITY FROM INSIDE THIS RATHER SMALL CAR. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS HANGING FROM WHAT LOOKS LIKE SOME TYPE OF CORD ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. I AM UNABLE TO SECURE IT BACK UP AND IT IS CONSTANTLY FLAPPING AROUND. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE SUN IS BRUTAL HERE WHILE DRIVING, AND THE VISOR IS REALLY NECESSARY FOR A SAFE TRIP. I HAVE AT TIMES HAD TO HOLD IT UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE I'M DRIVING TO BE ABLE TO BLOCK THE SUN AND SEE THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER VISOR HAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM AND IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE ADJUSTED, SO I HAVE IT TACKED UP BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR WITH THE EXTENSION THAT SLIDES OUT ON THE RIGHT. THE PASSENGER VISOR BROKE WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I HAD THE CAR, THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE DURING THE SECOND YEAR. WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AND THE SAFETY ISSUES IT PRESENTS, I REALLY FEEL HYUNDAI SHOULD BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER CAR I'VE OWNED AND IT REALLY SEEMS THAT THEY COULD COME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN OR PARTS! *TR
