MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX SUNVISOR SPLIT AT THE "SEAM." THIS MAKES IT SO THAT IT WILL NOT FLIP BACK UP IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION SO IT JUST HANGS DOWN IN MY VIEW. I ALMOST RAN A RED LIGHT TODAY BECAUSE OF IT! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT FOR THE OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS I MIGHT HARM!!! HONDA SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SAFETY ISSUE HERE. THEY WONT REPLACE IT BECAUSE I AM PAST MY 36K WARRANTY. I LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM...MULTIPLE TIMES! MAKE HONDA FIX THIS BEFORE ANYONE LOSES THEIR LIFE OVER IT! SHAME ON HONDA FOR NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

SUNVISOR SPLITS DUE TO HOT WEATHER. SUNVISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY UP OR DOWN PROPERLY AND CAUSES IMPROPER VISIBILITY. VISIBILITY IS A **SAFETY HAZARD**. PROBLEM IS COMMON AND HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED FOR THE LAST FEW MODEL YEARS. HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE. *TR

I OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC COUPE LX. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SPLIT AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP RELUCTANTLY FIXED THE VISOR. I SOLD THE VEHICLE IN 2008. I PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN. AT 44,000 MILES THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SPLIT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW. YOU WOULD THINK HONDA WOULD HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM BETWEEN 2006 AND 2008! THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT CONTINUALLY DROPS DOWN IN MY LINE OF VIEW. I AM NOT ABLE TO REPLACE BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE AT THIS TIME. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY HONDA. IF I HAD TWO HONDA CIVICS (2006 AND 2008), AND THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ON BOTH, IT IS OBVIOUS HONDA HAS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

I OWN A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. AT AROUND 42,000 MILES, MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR CRACKED ON THE TOP AND DROPPED DOWN INTO MY LINE OF VISION. THE VISOR COULD NOT BE PLACED BACK UP OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE VISOR AT A COST TO ME (ABOUT $100.) BECAUSE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE (OBSTRUCTING LINE OF SIGHT FOR DRIVERS), I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE AN AUTOMOTIVE RECALL, AND THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE VISORS THAT FAIL FREE OF CHARGE. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. FRANKLY, I WAS QUITE SURPRISED THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER, REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY. *TR
