THE SUN VISORS IN MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC HAVE BROKEN AND ARE UNABLE TO BE USED. IT CRACKED/SPLIT APART AT THE ARM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THE CIVIC SINCE 2006. I PLAN TO VISIT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FIX BUT HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, IT WILL BE FIXED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. IF THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE 2006, SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

2008 SUN VISOR ON DRIVER SIDE FAILED SUMMER 2009. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE THEN ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE INTO THE SUN DUE TO GLARE AND I HAVE DESPERATELY NEEDED IT. TODAY, 06-29-2011 THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR HAS NOW FAILED. SO I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AND THERE IS NONE. THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THE HONDA CIVIC APPARENTLY AND THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AS THE SUN IS AWFUL DOWN HERE ALONG WITH ANY ROAD GLARE DUE TO PRECIPITATION. EVEN THE WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS ARE BREAKING AFTER THEY HEAT UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC AND THE DRIVER'S VISOR JUST DECIDED TO COME APART. IT IS STILL ATTACHED, BUT IT WILL NOT STAY UP IN IT'S PROPER POSITION, INSTEAD, IT FALLS IN FRONT OF MY FACE CAUSING ME TO BE DISTRACTED. I AM PAYING FOR SCHOOL OUT OF MY POCKET AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT JUST YET. I HAVE TO LEAVE IT DOWN AT ALL TIMES, AND IT CANNOT BE PUSHED BACK, I HAVE TO LEAVE IT STRAIGHT DOWN IN MY FACE AND BEND DOWN TO SEE STREET LIGHTS AND OTHER THINGS. IT JUST DID THIS ONE DAY, AND I NEVER EVEN USE MY VISOR. I ALSO ONLY HAVE ABOUT 40K MILES ON MY CAR. *TR

BOTH VISORS FAILED COMPLETELY WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH OTHER. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL WITHOUT MY TOUCHING IT AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO STAY UP. IT BLOCKED MY VISIBILITY SO I HAD TO HOLD IT UP SO I COULD SEE CLEARLY TO DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION I SAW THAT THE VISOR HAD SPLIT AT THE HINGE, BASICALLY LOOKS AS IF IT HAD EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR THIS MORNING, THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS IN THE SAME CONDITION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE VISORS OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE WITH TWO VISORS BLOCKING MY VISION? I CAN'T GET THEM TO STAY UP. THERE IS NO OPTION FOR VISOR UNDER FAILED COMPONENT 1 AND 2 BELOW SO I SELECTED VISIBILITY/WIPER.

TODAY (6/5/2011) WAS FAIRLY HOT (IN SAN ANTONIO TX), WHILE DRIVING, I PULLED THE VISOR DOWN DUE TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN AND THE BRIGHT REFLECTION OF THE SUN FROM ANOTHER CAR'S WINDOWS. MY DAUGHTER DID THE SAME THING ALSO. ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN ADJUSTING THE VISORS BACK UP, THERE WAS THE SOUND OF A "POP" AND THE VISORS WOULD NOT STAY UP. THIS BECAME A SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT WOULD DANGLE IN THE FIELD OF VISION ALL THE TIME. THE PLASTIC APPEARS TO HAVE SPLIT DOWN THE CENTER JOINT ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE VISOR
