DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR / VANITY MIRROR-----SEPARATION BROKEN CAME APART FAILURE. WHILE MOVING IT TO POSITION TO BLOCK SUN WESTERLY DIRECTION AFTERNOON!
Visibility/wiper, Jun 27, 2017
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC BROKE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOLD THIS WAS A WARRANTY ITEM AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CARE IN 2011 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL ITEM, AND HAD IT REPLACED FOR FREE. I WAS TOLD THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD COST $70.00 PLUS TAX TO FIX. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO HAVE IT DONE, SINCE I DON'T INTEND TO KEEP THE CAR MUCH LONGER. IT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE ROOF AND INTERFERES WITH LINE OF SIGHT AT STOP SIGNS, ETC. IF I MOVE IT TO THE SIDE WINDOW THEN THE SUN HITS ME DIRECTLY IN THE EYES, CREATING ISSUES ALSO. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS FAILED TO STAY UP AND WOULD CONSISTENTLY DROP, WHICH BLOCKED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN VISORS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.
Visibility/wiper, Apr 24, 2017
THE SUN VISORS IN THIS CAR ARE A SEVERE PROBLEM AS THEY BREAK EASILY THROUGH NORMAL AVERAGE USE AND WILL NOT REMAIN UPRIGHT. THEY FALL DOWN AND HANG IN THE DRIVER FIELD OF VISION CREATING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS POSING INJURY TO DRIVER AND ANYONE ELSE NEARBY. THE VISORS ARE NOT CHEAP TO REPLACE($50 TO $100 EACH) AND THE REPLACEMENTS ALSO BREAK IN A SHORT TIME. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ONCE AND BOTH ARE BROKEN AGAIN. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW JUST LIKE THE ALLOY MIXTURE IN THE LOWER ENGINE BLOCK THAT CAUSES CRACKING IN THE COOLANT PASSAGES IN THE BLOCK (LOOK IT UP). HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE A QUALITY PRODUCT AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE QUALITY IS ERODING AND HONDA'S LACK OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND ADMITTING ERROR AND TAKING ACTIONS TO CORRECT FURTHER REFLECTS POOR COMMERCE AND CARE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS IN DEPTH BECAUSE THIS ISSUE HAS SATURATED THE WEB WITH COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. LETS BE PROACTIVE AND RECALL THE VISORS AND ISSUE UPDATED REPLACEMENTS TO SHOW YOUR CUSTOMERS YOU CARE AND ENSURE THESE CUSTOMERS WILL BE ALIVE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE. DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS HAZARDOUS LIFE TREATING ISSUE NOW.

Visibility/wiper, Jul 25, 2016
THERE WAS A CLASS-ACTION SUIT REGARDING THE HONDA CIVIC 2008'S SUN VISORS. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS SOME TIME AGO. AS I HAD BEEN PARKING IN A GARAGE FOR MOST OF THE TIME, MY VISORS WERE FINE. SINCE I SWITCHED JOBS, AND NOW PARK OUTDOORS DURING THE DAYS, MY RIGHT, PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAS BROKEN AS THE SUIT DESCRIBED. THIS HAPPENED, HOWEVER, AFTER THE DEADLINE FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF THE SUIT. I AM NOW MISSING MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR AND I EXPECT THE DRIVER SIDE TO FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. IT CAN FALL WHILE I'M DRIVING, WHICH IS DISCONCERTING.

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VISOR SUDDENLY FELL IN MY POINT OF VIEW. THANKFULLY I WAS AT A GOOD CRUISING SPEED WITH NO ONE AROUND ME. I READ ABOUT THE THE CIVIL SUIT AND THE SUPPOSED 100K MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WHEN I TOOK INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY DENIED PAYING FOR MY VISOR SAYING THE VEHICLE WAS TO OLD. I ONLY HAVE 92K ON THE CAR AND I THINK THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALLED SAFETY VIOLATION BECAUSE IF SOMEONE WOULD OF HAPPENED TO BE IN FRONT OF ME SLOWING DOWN I WOULD HAVE LOST MOST OF MY TIME TO BE ABLE TO BRAKE.

THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NO LONGER BLOWING ANY COLD AIR. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE COILS, AND A/C CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT FOR THE AIR COMPRESSOR. VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE AIR COMPRESSOR. DISCUSSED WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS IN MY AREA AND HAVE SEEN FORUM DISCUSSIONS POSTED THAT HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES AND HAVE LISTED IT AS A "KNOWN ISSUE" BUT HONDA HAS NOT FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGED. PREVIOUSLY I HAVE OWNED A 1997 HONDA CIVIC WITH ALL ORIGINAL PARTS AND IT DID NOT HAVE SUCH AN ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO SUBMITTED A DIRECT COMPLAINT TO HONDA REGARDING MY DEFECTIVE AIR COMPRESSOR. *TR
Visibility/wiper, Jan 2, 2014
I WAS BLINDED BY THE SUN AND NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO ADJUST MY SUN VISOR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR. THE ORIGINAL VISOR WAS REPLACED BY HONDA AFTER IT SPLIT APART AT ONE OF THE HINGES AND DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA REPLACED THE ORIGINAL VISOR WITH AN IDENTICAL VISOR, RATHER THAN HAVING THE VISOR REDESIGNED TO CORRECT THE FLAW, BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT VISOR EVENTUALLY SPLIT APART IN THE VERY SAME WAY THAT THE ORIGINAL VISOR SPLIT APART. I HAVE NOW HAD TO GET THE REPLACEMENT VISOR REPLACED AND I AM ON MY THIRD VISOR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS A FUNCTIONAL SUN VISOR IS A BASIC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS ESSENTIAL TO SAFETY. I EXPECT BETTER OF HONDA. *TR

SUN VISORS HAVE BECOME LOOSE AND DO NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION. DISTRACTING AND DISRUPTS VIEW. CANNOT SEE TRAFFIC SIGNAL (LIGHTS) UNLESS I TAKE MY HAND FROM STEERING WHEEL TO HOLD SUN VISOR IN UPRIGHT POSITION. NOT SAFE, NOT PRACTICAL, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH HONDA CIVIC. BOTH VISORS HANG IN DOWN POSITION, WILL NOT REMAIN UP. EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR SUN VISORS, AS MUCH AS $60 PER VISOR. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS A FLAW AND NEEDS TO REPAIR SAME AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

I HAVE HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT 3 MONTHS PRIOR MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I NOTICED CAREFULLY BY COMPARISON OF THE EXACT POSITION OF SIMILAR MAKE SEDAN CARS; THIS CAR HAS THE MIRROR ATTACHED TO THE DOOR PANELS AND PRESENTS A HAZARD (HAS 2 BLIND SPOTS) MAKING IT ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT WITH LOW BEAM LIGHTS AND OLD PAINTED DIVIDER LINES.

AFTER THE RECALL FOR THE SUN VISOR MELTING, I GOT BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER VISOR REPLACED LAST YEAR. ITS BEEN ONE YEAR AND THEY MELTED AGAIN. HONDA REPAIRED THEM BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO GO IN EVERY YEAR FOR A REPLACEMENT. THEY NEED TO FIX THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED BUT ONLY FOR 100,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS. IF THEY CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME VISOR, THEN AFTER 7 YEARS OR 100K MILES, IT WILL STILL BE A HAZARD. MY FRIEND IN ARLINGTON ALSO HAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE ALREADY RECALLED AND REPLACED VISORS. *TR
