Consumer Description

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS ON THE 2006 ACCENT WILL NO LONGER STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE VISORS NOW HANG LOOSELY AND LIMIT VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING, THE SWINGING BACK AND FORTH WHILE ACCELERATING AND BRAKING CAN BE DISTRACTING AND IS UNSAFE. I HAVE LOOKED TO PURCHASE THE ORIGINAL OEM PARTS TO REPLACE, BUT HAVE DISCOVERED THAT HYUNDAI NO LONGER USES THE ORIGINAL PARTS AND THAT NEW VISORS WAS MANUFACTURED. I HAVE FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR MULTIPLE HYUNDAI MODELS ON THIS SITE AND ON ARFC.ORG. IT APPEARS THAT HYUNDAI RECOGNIZED A FAULTY PART THAT LEADS TO LIMITED VISIBILITY AND DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.
