I AM PUTTING IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC SUN VISOR IT IS CHEAPLY MADE AND THE HEAT MELTS THE PLASTIC SO IT STARTS TO WEAR ON THE SPINE OF THE VISOR IT FALLS DOWN IN MY FACE, I HAD TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING, I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM AS DISTRACTED WHILE FIDDLING WITH IT SO ITS OUT OF MY WAY WHILE DRIVING IS AS DISTRACTING AS BEING ON CELL PHONE, SO I TOOK IT OFF, AND I LIVE IN A SUNNY STATE AND BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE $70.00 TO REPLACE IT, I HAVE TO HOLD MY HAND ABOVE MY EYES TO BLOCK THE SUN WHICH IS ALSO VERY DISTRACTING. I CALLED HONDA AND COMPLAINED THEY SAID IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SO IT WILL NOT BE RECALLED BUT THEY WILL REPLACE IT AT ONE OF THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERS AND THAT THE PRICE CAN RANGE FROM $70.00 TO $100.00.. WHICH I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR CURRENTLY, AND EITHER WAY I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE MY SUN VISOR EVERY SUMMER WHEN ITS TOO HOT AND DECIDES TO FALL OFF! THAT IS $70.00 TO $100.00 PER SUN VISOR EVERY SUMMER.. THAT ADDS UP. I LOVE HONDA AND IT SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE DOING SO WELL, THEY ALWAYS DID RIGHT BY ME, BUT NOW THIS 06 HONDA CIVIC IS CHEAPLY MADE AND WONT SURPRISE ME IF IT DOESN'T LAST AS LONG AS MY OLD 95 HONDA CIVIC. *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC SUN VISOR BROKEN (AGAIN). THIS IS THE THIRD TIME MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC SUN VISOR HAS BROKEN. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME THE CAR WAS 2K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE IT THAT ONE LAST TIME. NOW IT IS BROKEN AGAIN! IF YOU GOOGLE "HONDA CIVIC SUN VISOR" YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE SUN VISOR SPLITS IN HALF AND CAN NO LONGER BE PUT UP (STORED POSITION). WHEN THE PLASTIC FRAME OF THE VISOR SPLITS, THE VISOR HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN BLOCKING YOUR VISION WHEN DRIVING. BECAUSE OF THIS, MY VISION IS CONSTANTLY BLOCKED AND I FIND MYSELF BENDING DOWN WHILE DRIVING TO SEE IF TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE GREEN OR RED. IT CAN ALSO BLOCK MY VIEW OF A PEDESTRIAN STEPPING OFF OF THE CURB INTO THE CROSSWALK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO REPLACE THESE AFTER THE WARRANTY IS UP ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE A TSB ON IT. IN ADDITION TO MY VIEW OF THE ROAD BEING BLOCKED BY THIS PLASTIC FRAMED SUN VISOR, I'M ALSO AFRAID IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, MY FACE OR A PASSENGERS COULD HIT THE SUN VISOR AND THE VISOR COULD CAUSE MAJOR TRAUMA TO A HUMAN. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC. DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS CRACKED. WON'T STAY CLOSED (RETRACTED AGAINST THE CEILING). FALLS DOWN IN FRONT OF VIEW FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS SINCE 2006 WHEN THE SUN VISOR DESIGN WAS MODIFIED TO ITS CURRENT DESIGN. SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. SOLUTIONS INCLUDE: 1) REMOVING THE SUN VISOR; NOT SAFE. 2) IGNORING THE PROBLEM; WHEN SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN IN FRONT OF EYES IT'S NOT SAFE. 3) REPLACING THE SUN VISOR; HONDA REFUSES TO PROVIDE A FREE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS GOOD DOCUMENTATION ON THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM AND DURATION OF THE PROBLEM.

THE PLASTIC PIECES INSIDE THE SUNVISORS HAVE SNAPPED AND ARE NOW HANGING DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS IN MY FACE. I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC SI AND HAVE READ A PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS FROM MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM; SOME HAVE REPLACED THEIR VISORS SEVERAL TIMES (OUT OF POCKET). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A DESIGN FLAW, WHICH IS WIDE-SPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I LIVE IN OHIO AND THE SUMMERS ARE QUITE WARM, BUT NOT AS HOT AS ARIZONA; MANY COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ARE FELT TO BE HEAT-RELATED. HOWEVER, NO MATTER WHERE IN THE COUNTRY ONE LIVES, IT CAN EASILY BE OVER 110 DEGREES IN A CLOSED CAR, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED WHEN DESIGNING THESE VISORS. *TR
