HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES. TO PREVENT FUEL FROM LEAKING OUT OF A VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK INTO THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER IN THE EVENT A ROLL-OVER INCIDENT OCCURS, THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IS EQUIPPED WITH A ROLL OVER VALVE (ROV). DUE TO IMPROPER ULTRASONIC WELDING OF THE PLASTIC CASE THAT HOUSES THE ROV WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, THE CASE MATERIAL MAY BREAK OR CRACK, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE ROV TO SEPARATE FROM THE CASE AND FAIL TO FUNCTION, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF FUEL LEAKAGE IN A ROLL-OVER INCIDENT.
FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND IF NECESSARY REPLACE THE MODULE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 25, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS SPLIT AND JUST HANGS DOWN IN THE LINE OF VISION....I PURCHASED A NEW GENUINE HONDA VISOR AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO IT. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS ALSO BEGINNING TO SPLIT. HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE VISORS. IT IS NOT OVERUSED OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS WELL MAINTANINED.
Visibility/wiper, Jul 1, 2019
THE SUN VISOR FOR THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY YEAR SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, AS IT MELTS OFF IN THE SUMMER HEAT. THE VISOR WILL HANG AND BLOCK VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. AFTER 7 REPLACEMENTS, THE VISOR HAS SINCE BEEN REMOVED. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE DURING SUNRISE OR SUNSET. I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS REASON, AS I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE IT FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE DAY.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DONT ALWAYS WORK. I WILL PUSH ON THE HANDLE AND THE WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE. THIS IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD, IF ITS RANING HARD AND I CANT SEE WHILE DRIVING.

WENT TO HONDA DEALER THIS WEEK. ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS SINCE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISORS. HONDA SERVICE REP SAID NONE. FOUND YOUR WEBSITE MENTIONING RECALL WITH AIR BAGS THAT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, ALSO COMPLAINTS (NOT RECALL) WITH VISORS. BOTH SUN VISORS HAVE SEPARATED AT SEAMS, SAME PROBLEM AS MY 2006 CIVIC. UNFORTUNATELY BY THE TIME I HEARD ABOUT RECALL I HAD TRADED MY CAR IN. BUT IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM, THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE HONDA SERVICE REP SAID NO RECALLS. HONDA DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $63 PLUS TAX FOR A NEW DRIVER VISOR (FORGET REPLACING PASSENGER VISOR). IT SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PAST CIVIC MODELS. NOW NEED TO PURSUE THEM ON AIR BAG RECALL SINCE I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS AND HE SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS WHEN AT HONDA DEALER THIS WEEK. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HANGING DOWN IT WON'T STAY UP
Visibility/wiper, Oct 1, 2015
DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE VISORS ARE MECHANICALLY DEFECTIVE. FLIPPING THEM FROM UP TO DOWN USES AN INTERNAL COMPONENT WHICH SNAPS, KEEPING THE VISOR IN PLACE TO STAY OUT UP OUT OF VISIBILITY OR DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN. AFTER 15K MILES OR SO, SNAP COMPONENT PUSHES OUT THROUGH THE VISOR ASSEMBLY, PREVENTING ABILITY TO USE DURING DRIVING -- AND ULTIMATELY OFF THE BRACKET HOLDING THE VISOR TO THE CEILING. CAR HAS 46K MILES ON IT -- BOTH VISORS HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES

I LOVE MY HONDA CIVIC AND THIS IS THE 2ND ONE I'VE HAD, HOWEVER I HAVE ONE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2011, VISIBILITY AND BLIND SPOTS WHILE DRIVING. SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, THE PART BETWEEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I PULL UP TO STOP SIGN, AND ROAD LOOKS CLEAR, BUT WHEN I START TO PULL OUT, I JUST MISS A CAR OR TRUCK THAT WAS CAUGHT IN THAT ONE BLIND SPOT. HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND FIX THE DESIGN OF THIS AREA. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAVE ABOUT 24,000 MILES, I DON'T DRIVE IT VERY MUCH AND I THINK IT IS BAD QUALITY IN THEIR SUNVISOR.

THIS 2011 CIVIC EX I OWN HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH 3 DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISORS. THE VISOR SPLITS, AND CAUSES A DISTRCTION TO THE DRIVER BY FLOPPING DOWN, AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO LED TO AN ACCIDENT. IN RESEARCHING THIS, HONDA WAS SUED FOR 2006 - 2009 MODELS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM - AND LOST (YET NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY). I SPOKE TO AMERICAN HONDA, THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE 2011 MODEL BEING A PROBLEM. THAT IS NOT TRUE. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER, SAN TAN HONDA. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS HOT SO THEY SPLIT. MAYBE THEY SHOULD ONLY SELL THESE CARS IN ALASKA, AND NOT ARIZONA. THERE ARE NO GREY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISORS FOR THE 2011 HONDA CIVIC AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER, AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING IN. THAT SHOULD BE AN INDICATIOR OF A QUALITY PROBLEM. HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, AND HAS NOT ISSUED ANY NOTICE AND HAS DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS, NOR DONE THE REDESIGN FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. PLEASE HELP TO HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE TO STOCK PARTS, AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. THEY CANNOT SEEM TO LEARN THE LESSON OF THEIR LAWSUIT ON PREVIOUS MODELS. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO REDESIGN THE PART, AND BE FINED FOR FAILING TO ADDRESS THE KNOWN SITUATION.
