WE OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC DX WHICH HAS HAD A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILING TWICE BEFORE AND, NOW, BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED. EACH TIME A HONDA DEALER HAS REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT, WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE MALFUNCTIONING, THE DRIVER HAS TO HOLD THE VISOR OUT OF HIS / HER LINE OF SITE LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND HAS SAID IT WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART AS IT OCCURS, HOWEVER, THIS PART SHOULD BE EXAMINED AND RE-ENGINEERED TO GIVE CONSISTENT, SAFE SERVICE. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 2007 CIVIC HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2006. THE WIPERS STREAK SO BADLY THAT I CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD SAFELY. UPON TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH OTHER VEHICLES, BUT THAT THE NEW WIPERS ARE ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY HAVE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS ON THE WINDSHIELD TO ATTEMPT TO "ERASE" WHATEVER PROBLEMS ARE CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE USED A "CLAY" THAT IS USED IN BODY SHOPS TO "SCRUB" DOWN THE WINDOW. THIS WORKS MOMENTARILY. THERE IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAT HONDA IS NOT YET ADDRESSING. THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS THE ELEMENTS WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I REFUSE TO AGREE WITH THIS AS THIS IS MY 5TH NEW VEHICLE, AND THE OTHER 4 HAD WIPERS THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR OVER 2 YEARS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I AM SEVERELY ANNOYED THAT I'VE HAD TO KEEP RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM STILL GETTING NO REAL SOLUTION. *TR

WHEN ENGINE IS WARM AND CAR IS AT IDLE (EITHER WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR WHEN PARKING BEFORE SHUTDOWN) AND YOU OPEN/CLOSE SUN ROOF AND/OR POWER WINDOWS THE RPMS DIP, CAR SHAKES, AND ENGINE ALMOST STALLS BEFORE RPMS RECOVER TO NORMAL IDLE.
