Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 2007 Hyundai Elantra

I was driving down the freeway and my driver's side sun visor flopped down. As it was attached by wires to light the mirror, it dangled in the way. So, with one hand I kept it out of my way so I could continue to drive and pull over to safety. The visor broke from within the ball joint that lets it rotate down and to the side. Nothing I could do would hold it in place, duct tape, velcro, etc. . . , so I had to cut the wires and remove the visor so I could drive. The same exact thing happened two weeks later to my passenger side visor. I had to remove it too. Now to get one visor replaced it would cost me $150. 00 of which I could not, and have not been able to afford since it happened. I am driving around in a car that does not have sun visors in southern California where the sun shines long and hard.

My 2007 Hyundai Elantra now has two broken sun-visors. They no longer reliably stay in the upright position, and tend to fall down at random times, and block my view of the road, creating a safety hazard. I have had to glue and tape them for now, as Hyundai motors refuses to address this matter. On searching the internet, I located hundreds, if not thousands of similar reportings. Seems there is an inherit design flaw, allowing the cheap plastic to break, as it is under tension at all times. Hyundai has apparently recently redesigned this part. The local dealership let me know that corporate must approve any free replacement, and corporate sent me an email telling me to visit my dealer, and thus the two entities refuse to take action. A replacement visor costs about 160 dollars plus installation, not inexpensive by any means, and I need two. I even offered to replace them on my own, if they give me the redesigned parts. They blew me off, and said they stand by their earlier response. And so Hyundai has decided not to recall and replace this defective part, and thus help prevent a serious accident when the driver is unable to see the road on the sudden dropping of the sun-visor. My warning should be taken seriously, this is a safety issue, so be wary. And keep in mind, Hyundai apparently feels this matter is not covered in anyway, thus forcing the consumer to purchase a replacement part after the fact. I would like to see you get involved and force Hyundai motors to make the needed repair at no charge to us owners. Thank you.
