Visibility/wiper, Jul 11, 2022
I recently read about NHTSA ID Number: 11469938 It made me realize I have the same problem although not as bad. My driver side sun visor is split at the seam. This causes it to hang slightly lower but does not completely block my view of the road. I have never had it inspected/replaced, but after reading about the complaint case above, I am worried the same may happen to my visor in the future (i.e. visor will flop down and block my view of the road).
Visibility/wiper, Jun 18, 2022
The sun visor keeps splitting at the seam. When that happens it'll no longer hold itself in place and it will flop down blocking my view. At this point I've replaced both sun visors 3 times since I bought the car, about once every 3 years in the summer. This started happening at about 80,000 miles. Whatever adhesive Honda is using to put these together don't hold up in the heat. You can feel the visors getting soft and bending in the heat until it inevitably breaks. It can't be usage either since both the driver and passenger side fail at about the same rate and the passenger sun visor rarely gets used.
Visibility/wiper, Nov 14, 2019
WIPER BLADES MAKES LOUD RUBBING NOISE, BECAUSE WIPER ARMS ARE PRESSED VERY HARD AGAINST WINDSHIELD CAUSING FRICTION BETWEEN THE BLADES AND WINDSHIELD. I INSTALLED NEW WIPERS FROM SAM'S CLUB, STILL LOUD NOISE IS NOT GOING AWAY. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED EVER SINCE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW CIVIC IN 2010, BUT DUE TO LIGHT USAGE MOSTLY IN DRY DAYS, I IGNORED THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN RAIN OR SNOW DUE TO POORLY DESIGNED WIPER ARMS OR WIPER ASSEMBLY. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN 54,000 MILES SINCE 2010.
Visibility/wiper, Sep 11, 2019
IN 2012 I PURCHASED A 2010 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SUN VISORS BREAKING. AT FIRST MY WARRANTY COVERED THE COST AND THEN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $150.00 EACH TIME I HAD TO REPLACE. THE ISSUE IS THE SAFETY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE IN THE SUN LIGHT OR THE EVENING, DUE TO THE BROKEN SUN VISORS DANGLING IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. ENCLOSED ARE PICTURES OF THE BROKEN SUN VISORS PASS AND PRESENT. I WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE ONCE AGAIN FOR MY SAFETY, DUE TO THE SHARP POINTY OBJECT BY MY HEAD WHERE THE SUN VISOR WAS ATTACHED TO. I DID CALL HONDA CORP AND REPORT THE ISSUE ONLY AGAIN AND THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THE POINT OBJECT BY MY HEAD. I TOOK MY HONDA TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SUN VISOR. BOTH THE SERVICE PERSON AND MECHANIC HAD TO CAREFUL PLACE THEMSELVES IN MY HONDA TO ENSURE THEY DID NOT POKE THE HEAD ON THE SHARP POINTY OBJECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HOUSING DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE, STRUCK THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW, AND SHATTERED BOTH THE MIRROR HOUSING AND WINDOW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO SIGN OF AN IMPACT OR A FOREIGN OBJECT THAT CAUSED THE MIRROR HOUSING TO DETACH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WAS NO INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SUN VISOR IN 2010 HONDA CIVIC BROKEN. THE PLASTIC IS CRACKED AT THE SEAM AND THE MECHANISM INSIDE THE VISOR CANNOT WORK PROPERLY. VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE IN EITHER UP OR DOWN POSITION. VISOR FALLS INTO LINE OF VISION DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. FAILS TO BLOCK THE SUN WHEN NECESSARY. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX THE VISOR. A NEW VISOR IS $95 EXCLUDING LABOR. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
Visibility/wiper, Jan 23, 2018
BOTH SUN VISORS HAVE SEPERATED. NOW IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THERE FOR I HAD TO REMOVE THEM BOTH OFF. I NO LONGER HAVE THEM BECAUSE MY WIFE JUST TOLD ME TO THROW AWAY I'M SORRY BUT IT WOULD REALLY MAKE ARE LIFE A LOT MORE EASIER TO SEE DURING THIS UP COMING SUMMER PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Visibility/wiper, Jul 12, 2017
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN/DEFECTIVE. THE TWO PLASTIC PANELS JUST CRACKS OPEN OR FALL APART EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN OPERATED PROPERLY. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE VISIBILITY IS GREATLY AFFECTED WITH THE VISOR NOT WORKING IN THE SUMMER SUN!! I HAVE NOTICED THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM WHEN PURCHASED IT IN 2015 BUT THOUGH THE VISOR'S ARM JUST NEED SOME LUBRICATION BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
Visibility/wiper, Apr 24, 2017
I HAVE REPLACED A FAN RESISTOR FOR MY INTERIOR FAN THREE TIMES ONCE AT THE DEALER AND THE OTHER TWO AT A MECHANIC SHOP THIS HAS BECOME DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CAN NOT TURN ON YOUR FAN WHEN YOU NEED TO DEFROST YOU WINDSHIELD WHEN IT FOGS UP RESTRICTING YOUR VISIBILITY TO A DANGEROUS LEVEL.
Visibility/wiper, Aug 17, 2016
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR JUST CRACKED OPEN AND BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLD BACK UP. IT STAYS HANGING FROM THE CEILING AND LIMITING VISIBILITY. TO SEE BETTER I HAVE TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT, BUT MAKES THE DRIVING UNCOMFORTABLE AND WITH LOWER VISIBILITY AS WELL.

Visibility/wiper, Jun 20, 2016
INTERIOR SUN VISOR FAILURE . THE SUN VISORS WILL NO LONGER STAY IN THE UP POSITION. NO INCIDENT BUT THE SUN VISOR FAILURE EFFECTS VISIBILITY THEREFORE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND DEFECT IN MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP AND REPAIRED AT THE MANUFACTURES EXPENSE.
Visibility/wiper, Jun 2, 2016
DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR IS BROKEN. THE PLASTIC SEAM HAS SPLIT AND THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. THE VISOR SUDDENLY TURNS DOWN WHILE DRIVING OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I MANAGED TO GET THE GEAR INSIDE BACK INTO POSITION, BUT CANNOT USE THE VISOR WHEN NEEDED BECAUSE IT BREAKS EVERY TIME IT IS LOWERED INTO POSITION. THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD.
Visibility/wiper, Nov 5, 2015
THERE IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS FOR THIS MODEL OF HONDA CIVIC. THE VISOR FALLS APART IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. EITHER THE VISOR IS DOWN BLOCKING SIGHT OF THE ROAD, OR IF YOU HAVE IT RIGGED TO STAY UP THEN YOU HESITATE TO PULL THE VISOR DOWN BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET IT TO STAY UP AGAIN SO YOU END UP DRIVING WITH SUN IN YOUR EYES. EACH TIME I GET A REPLACEMENT IT COSTS ME ABOUT $80 OR SO, SO I AVOID THAT TOO. HONDA, PLEASE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION!!!! PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND CONTINUES TODAY. OTHER THAN THIS DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEM, I LOVE MY CAR.
Visibility/wiper, Oct 23, 2015
THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE LOCK POSITION. IT WILL FALL DOWN AT ANY MOMENT AND NOT FULLY LOCK INTO UP POSITION. THIS WAS ADDRESSED WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE CALLED BACK TWICE AND WAS TOLD HIS REP HAS NOT GOT BACK TO HIM AND I NEED TO WAIT. TIRED OF WAITING BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THE VISOR CAN SUDDENLY FALL DOWN IN THE STRAIGHT DOWN POSITION AND BLOCK VIEW. I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAY I WILL NEED TO WAIT 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR SOMEONE TO GET BACK WITH ME. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, JUST LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, AND THEY HAVE A PROCESS THAT CAN TAKE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO FIX IT. BASED ON MY FACTUAL PERSONAL EXPERIENCE SO FAR.
Visibility/wiper, Oct 21, 2015
SUNVISOR ON DRIVER SIDE IS COMING APART AT THE SEAM AND WILL NOT STAY COMPLETELY IN THE UP POSITION (AGAINST THE ROOF LINER). I HAVE NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED THIS YET AND DREAD IT AS THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I ONLY RECENTLY SURPASSED 36000 MILES, BUT HAVE HAD THE CAR NEARLY 5 YEARS. I HATE HAVING TO PAY A DEALER TO FIX PIDDLY LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THIS KIND OF ISSUE ON A HONDA. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, AS I HAD JUST GOTTEN IN THE CAR TO GO HOME FROM WORK. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT WAS DURING THIS PAST SUMMER, I WOULD GUESS MID TO LATE AUGUST, WHEN IT WAS VERY HOT IN NORTH ALABAMA. THE ATTACHED PICTURES WERE TAKEN TODAY, IN MID-OCTOBER.

VEHICLE SUN VISORS FAIL AND HANG DOWN BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW. IT CAN HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAN ONLY BE CLEARED BY QUICKLY MOVING VISOR TO SIDE OR HOLDING UP. BOTH ACTIONS EFFECT THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SAFELY OPERATE AUTOMOBILE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO STAY IN THE UPWARDS POSITION AND BLOCKED THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE VISOR WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

Visibility/wiper, Jun 17, 2015
BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS NO LONGER WORK AND ARE SPLIT BY THE BASE. THE PASSENGER SIDE ALWAYS HANGS DOWN AND WHILE LEAVING THE GAS STATION I ALMOST RAN INTO A PEDESTRIAN I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE OF THE HANGING SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTION. I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND CANNOT USE THE DRIVERS SIDE FOR FEAR THAT I CAN'T GET IT TO STAY UP.
Visibility/wiper, Jan 31, 2015
BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED. THE VISORS ARE MADE UP OF TWO HORIZONTAL PIECES OF PLASTIC SNAPPED TOGETHER. BOTH VISORS HAVE SEPARATED AND NO LONGER "GRIP" THE VISOR SWING ARM, THE METAL PIECE THAT ATTACHES THE VISOR TO THE CAR AND ALLOWS IT TO BE REPOSITIONED. ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE VISOR RESULTS IN THE TWO PIECES OF THE VISOR SEPARATING FROM EACH OTHER AND THE VISOR BECOMING DISENGAGED; MEANING, IT WILL NO LONGER ALLOW ITSELF TO BE ADJUSTED. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY IN ANY SET POSITION. ALL ATTEMPTS TO PUT IT BACK TO ITS RETRACTED POSITION AGAINST THE HEADLINER WILL RESULT IN IT JUST FALLING BACK DOWN TO THE NEUTRAL VERTICAL POSITION. MY HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE INITIAL FAILED DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR AFTER I COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BEING THAT MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE SAME DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN IT FAILED EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE 36 MONTH / 36000 MILE WARRANTY. AT ABOUT 52000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S VISOR THAT WAS REPLACED FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME $90 TO REPLACE EACH SIDE. CURRENTLY WE HAVE PLACARDED BOTH WITH "DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL DOWN INOP." MY CIVIC HAS A THROUGH MAINTENANCE HISTORY RECORD AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY THE SAME HONDA DEALER. THE DATES AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED BUT WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE BOTH MILEAGE AND DATES WITHIN A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES OR A COUPLE MONTHS USING THE SERVICE RECORDS/NOTES. *TR
Visibility/wiper, Jan 19, 2015
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE BY SIMPLY PULLING DOWN THE VISOR TO SHIELD MY EYES AT 55MPH. IT NOW JUST HANGS HALFWAY DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE ROOF AREA. I HAVE READ THAT HONDA HAS HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH THEIR VISORS BUT ONLY FIXING UP TO 2009 AND MINE IS A 2010. THIS IS A BIT DANGEROUS. *TR
Visibility/wiper, Aug 28, 2014
THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN. WHEN I LOOKED AT IT HAD SEPARATED SO IT NO LONGER STAYS UP. I'M LUCKY IT HAPPENED AFTER I HAD COME BACK FROM DRIVING 40 SOMETHING MILES ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. FROM LOOKING AROUND IT WOULD BE ABOUT A 46 TO 53 DOLLAR REPAIR PLUS SHIPPING IF I DO IT MYSELF. WHAT A RIP OFF ON SOMETHING POORLY DESIGNED. I'VE ALREADY SEARCHED THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND SOME HONDA FORUMS (EVEN ON AMAZON WHERE IT SHOWS PEOPLE WHO TECHNICALLY IN WARRANTY (EXTENDED) BUT DON'T KNOW) WHICH SHOW DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS. ITS STILL HAPPENING TO THE 2010 HONDA'S SO ITS NOT JUST THE EARLIER MODELS OF THE 2006-2008. *TR
