2009 Honda Civic

WHILE DRIVING THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN SUDDENLY FLIPPED/FELL DOWN AND WAS JUST SWINGING. IT SEEMS THAT THE INSIDE OF THE VISOR SOMEHOW MELTED/CRACKED, AND THE VISOR BECAME DISCONNECTED AND LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. I AM THANKFUL IT WAS NOT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR, AS IT WOULD HAVE LIKELY HIT ME IN THE FACE/OBSCURED MY VISION AND POTENTIALLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS FOR HONDA SUN VISORS; HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW, THEY TOLD MY MY YEAR/MODEL WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL.

THE CENTER 3RD BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. SINCE IT'S AN LED ARRAY AND NOT A NORMAL LIGHT BULB IT COSTS OVER $200 TO REPLACE. ALSO, IT CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. AN LED ARRAY SHOULD NOT FAIL. BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE UNITS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER'S HEEL BECAME STUCK IN A HOLE THAT WAS IN THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

IN 2011, MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR CRACKED/SPLIT AND WAS HANGING HALFWAY, AFFECTING MY VIEW. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED AT NO CHARGE OCTOBER 24 2011. NOT EVEN A WEEK AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE NEW DRIVER SIDE VISOR. I CALLED HONDA, TOOK IT TO THEM TODAY (08/15/2013). THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 95 DOLLARS!!!! REALLY?!!! THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE VISORS. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I CALLED THE HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THE VISOR I GOT REPLACE ONLY HAD A 12,000 MILE OR ONE YEAR WARRANTY. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. THESE VISORS ARE OBVIOUSLY MADE WITH CHEAP PLASTIC THAT IS NOT MADE TO LAST. SO I HAVE TO SPEND ALMOST 100 DOLLARS EVERY YEAR AND A HALF IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHILE I AM DRIVING? THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL VISORS AT THEIR COST. MAYBE IT MIGHT FORCE THEM TO PROVIDE VISORS THAT ARE SAFE AND WILL LAST. I AM GOING TO LOOK ONLINE ALSO TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY PETITIONS. PLEASE MAKE HONDA HAVE A RECALL ON THESE VISORS SO WE CAN ALL SEE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND AN EXTRA 100 DOLLARS EVERY YEAR OR TWO. IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING A CHATTER STARTED UNDER THE HOOD. DROVE IT TO OUR MECHANIC (1 TO 2 MILES AWAY) AND HE SAID THE STEEL BOLT BROKE THAT HOLDS THE BELT TENSIONER TO THE ALUMINUM ENGINE. HAD IT FIXED AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON AUGUST 8, 2013 WHILE DRIVING. THIS TIME THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP IT AND CALL FOR A TOW. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN AND HE SAID UPON TALKING TO HONDA DEALERS, THIS HAPPENED IN 2006 AND 2007 AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NO RECALL YET FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR A 2009 HONDA CIVIC AND NO PERMANENT FIX. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR JUST QUITS WHILE IN MOTION, THE POWER STEERING IS GONE AND THE BRAKE ASSIST IS GONE, WHICH PUTS LIFE AT RISK. CAN THIS BE LOOKED INTO? *TR
