SUN VISORS IN 2006 HONDA CIVICS ARE NO GOOD. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND ARE AVERAGING 1 SUN VISOR PER YEAR. IN FOUR YEARS NOW THE DRIVER SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOW, THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND HONDA IS OR HAS DONE NOTHING THE BETTER THESE VISORS. IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR ME TO PAY FOR THE SAME PRODUCT KNOWING THAT IT WILL DO SAME THING AGAIN. HONDA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN AND RECALL THESE VEHICLE'S BEFORE ONE FALLS DOWN IN SOMEONE'S FACE AND THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

THE SUN VISORS IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC IS MADE OF PLASTIC, AND THE PLASTIC SOFTENS/MELTS TO THE POINT WHERE THE SUN VISORS CANNOT BE PLACED BACK INTO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION NOR DO THEY STAY PUT IN THE DOWN POSITION. THIS BLOCKS A PORTION OF THE NORMAL VIEW OF THE ROAD AND CAN BE A HAZARD. IT IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX. I ORIGINALLY HAD HONDA REPLACE IT AS PART OF THE WARRANTY BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT REPLACED AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT SINCE IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AT LEAST ANNUALLY. IT'S SAD TO SEE THAT IT IS 4 YEARS LATER, AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT NOT TO PUT THOSE INTO THAT CAR. IF I BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM HONDA AND IT HAS A PLASTIC SUN VISOR, I WILL NOT BUY IT. IT IS A DEAL BREAKER B/C IT IS SUCH A NUISANCE AND IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A COMPANY NOT LEARNING AND IMPLEMENTING THEIR OWN LESSONS LEARNED. *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE SUN VISOR FAILS. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW AND AFTER 2 YEARS IN 2008 THE SUN VISOR FAILED. THE SUN VISOR WOULD FALL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND BLOCK MY VIEW. I WOULD HAVE TO QUICKLY RELEASE MY GRIP FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO PUSH THE SUN VISOR OUT OF MY VIEW SO I COULD VIEW WHERE I WAS GOING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE VISORS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, 2 YEARS LATER (2010) THE VISORS HAVE FAILED AGAIN RESULTING IN THE SAME BEHAVIOR. I HAVE CONVERSED WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL AND MANY HAVE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I MAY GET HONDA TO REPLACE THE SUN VISORS AGAIN BUT THEY WILL MOST LIKELY DO THE SAME THING IN 2 YEARS. *TR

UNDER NORMAL USE, THE SUN VISOR HINGE BREAKS, CAUSING THE VISOR TO SPLIT AT THE SEAM BY ITS MOUNT. THE VISOR IS DIFFICULT TO PUT BACK IN THE UPWARD POSITION AND WILL NOT STAY IN A FORWARD POSITION. IT FALLS STRAIGHT DOWN IMPEDING VISIBILITY. IF FORCED BACK INTO THE UPWARD POSITION, IT WILL STAY OUT OF VIEW, BUT WILL NOT FUNCTION FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE; THEREFORE, THERE IS NO USABLE SUN VISOR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN OCTOBER 2006. THE VISOR WAS FIRST REPLACED BY THE DEALER IN 2008. IT BROKE AGAIN IN EARLY 2010. SEARCHING THE WEB, I FIND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS GONE UNADDRESSED. *TR
THE SUN VISORS BEGIN SEPARATING, DANGLING AND INTEFERE WITH FIELD OF VISION DURING NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY VISORS THREE TIMES PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND NOW THEY ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO DO IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IS BLOCKS MY FIELD OF VISION. *TR
