| Both sun visors on 07 honda civic ex split, visors will no longer stay in the up position. visors cause a distraction and is a safety issue. you can get them replaced at honda dealership but they give you the same visors that they know are defective and will not last. visors are very cheaply made. | |||

| I own a 2007 honda civic lx which i purchased from dealer new. recently my driver side sun visor ruptured open, and no longer stays in the secure position. it drops down in front of me while driving and obstructs my vision. i am tall, so this is a safety visibility issue for me. apparently honda issued a recall for this issue, and also settled on a class action lawsuit and acknowledged a defect in the visor. however, the recall only extends up to 100,000 miles and i have more than that, so the dealer says honda will not cover it and i will have to pay out of pocket. that is very wrong, particularly when honda has acknowledged defective part, and it is clearly a safety issue. | |||

| I own a 2007 honda civic si which has faulty sun visors. the visors appear to be made of two separate pieces which separate apart in the heat. due to this separation, they do not grip the little arm which is connected to the ceiling; therefore, the visors cannot be pushed up to the ceiling. no-matter-what the visors drops down and returns to the position it would be to be used (for example, if the sun is in your eyes).. however it is a distraction and a complete nuisance to any driver. i am petite and it obstructs my view; however, if anyone else who is taller than me attempts to drive my vehicle they cannot see straight in front of them because the visor will not stay in place against the ceiling.. obviously this is a major safety hazard. moreover, the passenger visor separated last week and has the same faulty issue as the driver's side. | |||

| Sun visors split in half. once the visors are split, they will not hold a tucked up position, but rather will hang down and obsrtuct the driver's vision. the problem is chronic and there is now a class action lawsuit that has forced the vehicle manufacturer to extend the warranty on the sun visors. however, the broken visors are being replaced by another visor with the same design defect. after a brief period of use, the new sun visor also fails. the vehcile manufacturer needs to create a new design without the flaw and replace the old design with the new design at the manufacturer's expense. | |||

| 2007 honda civic ex 4 door (60,000 miles), drivers side sun visor split open at the seam and now hangs down and blocks forward and side line of sight. i believe this to be a safety issue. this happened once earlier when my car was under warranty. the dealer gladly fixed it. my car is now out of warranty and i don't want to pay 100+ bucks for a design issue that i'm not responsible for. | |||

| Driver's side sun visor split open and blocks line of sight because it won't stay up or at any angle and goes straight down, blocking the visibility of street lights especially. i have to go into honda to have it fixed now and don't know if my warranty covers a simnple sun visor or not, but if not i have seen reports online that this is going to cost me about $100. i could use the in this tough economy line, but regardless of the economy who wants to spend $100 on something so simple and silly as a faulty sun visor because a multi-billion dollar corporation doesn't want to spend a few bucks of their money on making this right? sorry this got a little editorial but it is just frustrating. | |||

| Driver side sun visor falls down into the line of vision on our 2007 honda civic lx sedan. it appears the visor has become warped and will not stay seated and often falls down into your line of sight out of the front windshield. only recourse is to swing it over towards the door but this is a safety issue and could cause a serious accident as your vision is blocked until the sun visor can be re-located. | |||

| The driver's side visor is defective. it appears as though the seal on the hinge for the visor has come undone (not due to any excess force, simply due to general everyday use). the defective hinge on the visor leads to the inability to properly position the visor, when in use, or not in use. when in use, this creates a safety hazard due to obstructing the driver's vision by the visor itself due to inability to properly position the visor (it does not stay in place), or affecting the driver's vision due to not being able to properly shield glare and sun due to the inability to properly position the visor while driving. when not in use, the visor may not stay in place, therefore flopping in front of the driver's line of vision. this is a safety concern that, when researched on the internet, is large problem with honda civic owners like myself. this has not yet caused me to have an accident, but i'm trying to be proactive in preventing such an incident. i have tried multiple times to speak with my honda service people, and i've been told this is not covered under warranty. however, the service people have told me they see this complaint all the time. this is a safety defect that needs to be addressed and properly handled. thank you for looking into this matter. | |||

| The driver's side visor is defective. it appears as though the seal on the hinge for the visor has come undone (not due to any excess force, simply due to general everyday use). the defective hinge on the visor leads to the inability to properly position the visor, when in use, or not in use. when in use, this creates a safety hazard due to obstructing the driver's vision by the visor itself due to inability to properly position the visor (it does not stay in place), or affecting the driver's vision due to not being able to properly shield glare and sun due to the inability to properly position the visor while driving. when not in use, the visor may not stay in place, therefore flopping in front of the driver's line of vision. this is a safety concern that, when researched on the internet, is large problem with honda civic owners like myself. this has not yet caused me to have an accident, but i'm trying to be proactive in preventing such an incident. i have tried multiple times to speak with my honda service people, and i've been told this is not covered under warranty. however, the service people have told me they see this complaint all the time. this is a safety defect that needs to be addressed and properly handled. thank you for looking into this matter. | |||

| I purchased a new honda civic sedan in 2007. at around 40,000 miles, the driver's side visor has split apart and will not stay up. it flops down making it difficult for me to see the roads. i have not taken the visor to get repaired, but my research shows that this has happened to several other owners of the same type of vehicle. | |||

| 2007 honda civic sun visors split open and will not stay up. the visor then dangles down in the driver's face and partially obstructs vision. from online complaint forums, appears to happen in 2006 and 2008s too. although there may be a tech bulletin, the dealer would not replace, and the problems appears to happen on replacements as well. | |||

| The sun visors on the 2007 honda civic lx are defective. once the hinge breaks, the visor will no longer stay up and it hangs straight down blocking more than one third of the windshield visibility. because my vision is dangerously obstructed i often have to move the visor so that it is against the driver-side window. with the visor in this position, nearly half of the side window visibility is obstructed causing yet a different but equally dangerous hazard. furthermore, when my visor is against the driver-side window and i have to turn, the visor often hits me in the head. in order to prevent being hit in the head i have to hold the visor in place while turning. your defect is not only a cosmetic nuisance it is also very dangerous. | |||

| The driver's side sun visor in my 2007 honda civic has split at the seam twice, and i have had it replaced by my local honda dealer both times. it starts to split slowly, but with each use gets gradually worse until it it just hangs limply, obstructing my view of the road. the 2nd time it was replaced, honda said i was out of warranty and would not fully pay for the replacement part (this was in the span of approx. 1 year). when the visor was broken, i had several near-wrecks due to the visor being directly in my view of the road. it is dangerous because as a driver, you either have to accept that the sun will be in your eyes and will block your view or the visor will be in your way and obstruct your view. this is an every-day occurence, as a visor is used almost daily. the second time i had it replaced, i took a binder clip (found at any office supply store) and clipped it over the seam to keep it held together. i have not had the problem of the seam splitting since i have put the clip there, but this shold not be happening, and i should not have to hold my 2007 vehicle together with a paper clip. | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. she was unable to provide an approximate speed at the time of the incident, but the vehicle has been experiencing a recurring failure in which both front sun visors flip downwards while driving. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on two occasions where it was repaired. the failure has again recurred but the vehicle was not taken to be repaired. the failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 55,000. sm. | |||

| The driver side sun visor on my 2007 honda civic is defective. the plastic pieces that attach it to the mounting has melted due to the heat inside of the car and causes the visor to not be able to be put back into the upright position. before it totally broke, it would fall down into my line of vision while driving, since it was not able to be folded back up properly due to the damaged parts. it now hangs partially in my line of vision since it no longer can be folded up properly. i have read countless similar complaints of this happening on other honda civics and it's a shame that honda doesn't consider this a safety hazard! | |||

| I purchased my 2007 honda civic new in december 2006. since that time my driver's side overhead visor has broken and failed twice! once in june 2009 and again october 2010. this is unsafe for normal driving because the visor will not remain out of my field of vision when i drive. there is no way to adequately secure the visor out of the field of sight without totally replacing the part. the first time it was repaired by honda for free because it was covered by warranty. now my vehicle is out of warranty and the dealer wants to charge me nearly $100 to repair the visor. this happened under normal driving conditions and during normal use of the vehicle. i have never had a problem of this type with any other vehicle before! this is an obvious quality control manufacturing defect that continues to recur and honda should take responsibility for the repair and replacement of the defective article on behalf of the consumer/customer. i believe this problem warrants investigation and follow up before a serious accident happens due to someone not effecting the repair in a reasonable amount of time due to the prohibitive cost placed on the shoulders of the consumer. | |||

| 1. 2007 honda civic visor split within a month of purchase. it was still functional despite the split, until approximately 9/27/10, when it stopped locking in place and started interfering with visibility. just learned that many civic owners complain of the same problem. 2. at approximately 26,000 miles, windshield spontaneously cracked while parked overnight, yet there was no impact. crack formed overnight on 9/30/10-10/1/10. windshield was smooth to the touch from both the outside and inside all along the length and breadth of the crack. | |||

| Sun visor on 2007 honda civic fails again in the heat. have purchased replacement visor just to have them fail again in a few months. when they fail at the hinges, it causes the visor to hang down in the line of site, if you remove it, then you don't have any protect from the sun shinning in your eyes. honda is very aware of this as there are 1,000's of posting and the dealers all acknowledge that it is an issue. honda needs to come up with a recall and a visor design that works verses just doing nothing...it is a huge safety issue!! | |||

| Sun visor on 2007 honda civic fails again in the heat. have purchased replacement visor just to have them fail again in a few months. when they fail at the hinges, it causes the visor to hang down in the line of site, if you remove it, then you don't have any protect from the sun shinning in your eyes. honda is very aware of this as there are 1,000's of posting and the dealers all acknowledge that it is an issue. honda needs to come up with a recall and a visor design that works verses just doing nothing...it is a huge safety issue!! | |||

| Driver side factory installed (original equipment) visor of 2007 honda civic ex split apart and no longer remains in the fixed upright (flush with ceiling) position, but rather hangs down in views way. this issue occured spontaneously and without force or misuse of feature. this failure is permanent. item will have to be replaced. research easily found many similar experiences from other honda civic owners for this same defect. honda is not claiming responsibility and not correcting the defect without charge. this is indeed a safety hazard. | |||

| The sun visor in my honda keeps falling apart and sometimes it falls right in front of my face which is a safety issue. i see online this is happening to a lot of honda owners. can you do anything about it? this is the second visor that went bad. it is very distracting when you are driving. | |||

| The honda 07 civic sun visors are defective and must be recalled! the heat causes the visors to crack and become suspended in the down position. after it cracks it will not lock in the up position. the honda dealership admits this is a common problem and i must pay to have it fixed now that my warrenty has expired! this will be the second time i've replaced both visors. | |||

| At issue is driver's side sun visor for 2007 honda, per service department at dealership, there is a defect in manufacturing that lead to a separation of the visor on the seam so that the visor does not go up and stay up causing issues with visibility. while driving, seam separated further while trying to hold up the visor to see a road sign which led to the visor hanging down in the middle of the windshield while driving on an expressway. i was able to pull it off of the hinge and toss it on the seat averting an accident. per service desk personnel, no improvement in the part has been made by honda to date. as per review of blogs on the internet, some owners have replaced the visors multiple times | |||

| Car sits in the sun while at work. i have tinted windows, leave them slightly cracked to get some airflow, and also use a sun shield on the windshield to keep as much heat out as i can. still, the sun visor hinges fail and the visors hang down in your face with no way to get them out of the way except removing them from the car completely. i had one visor replaced under warranty last year, and now both driver/passenger visors are broken in the exact same manner, including the visor that was already replaced once. driving on the highway and having the visor flip down in your face with no way to move it out of the way is a big problem. i'm a pretty tall guy, and the visor is directly in my field of vision when it falls down. holding it up out of the way with one hand, second hand on the wheel, and trying to shift to get off the interstate to remove the visor is no easy task... as far as i can tell, there has been no redesign of this part, so it will continue to happen (seemingly every summer) even if i were to pay to get the visors replaced each year. | |||

| Our 2007 honda civic sun visor has broken twice. the first time was only a month or so after purchasing brand new from the dealer. when the sun visor breaks, it dangles in front of the driver's view. whether in the front or pushed to the side, the broken sun visor tilts down and dangles in a distracting way which is dangerous for the driver of the civic. the sun visor was very poorly designed by honda. structurally speaking, the torsional resistance required to rotate the visor from the up position to the down position wasn't correctly designed for. the result is that the internal plastic clamps that are supposed to resist all forces from the internally rotating metal arm, fail and after these plastic clamps internally get torn apart, the sun visor dangles oddly in front of the driver and causes a dangerous distraction. this poorly designed sun visor fails very easily under normal use, and gives no warning of distress, before failing suddenly. this sun visor should be recalled and replaced with a correctly designed sun visor that won't brake and cause this safety issue. | |||

| Honda civic models 2006 and 2007 have defective sun visors. there are hundreds, if not thousands, of reported cases online. twice in the past 14 months, i have been driving when my sun visor unexpectedly split at the seam and suddenly fell into my line of sight. both times i was startled and my vision was obstructed while operating the car at speeds exceeding 60 mph. fortunately, i was able to avoid an accident both times. i am on my 3rd visor, but feel uneasy behind the wheel, worried it will happen again. additionally, when waiting for a service appointment, i am forced to drive without a functional visor, and have been temporarily blinded by the sun on more than one occasion. i called honda and spoke with morris who readily admitted that this is a common complaint that they receive, but honda was unwilling to do anything on my behalf since my car is no longer under warranty. i still have the last faulty sun visor. | |||

| Driver side and passenger side visors fell apart almost like they melted. i don't think they fixed it the first time i brought it in. now they are saying it isn't covered under warranty. they knew the visor design was flawed. now i can't move either visors from my view. | |||

| 2007 honda civic driver's side visor split open just afew months after it was purchased in may 2007. dealer could not replace right away because visors were on back order because so many had failed. since that time i have made sure visor was never left in the down position, however the visor split open again while in the up position. i was only out of the car for 30 minutes. the mileage is 53000, so it is no longer under warranty. this appears to be a manufacturers defect, especially seeing how many others have had the same experience. can honda not be made to replace or redesign these visors. | |||

| There were no signs that my daughter's driver's side sun visor, while driving, was going to break, and hang down in front of her eyes, blocking her view of the road. if this is not a safety issue, then what is? after searching the web and noticing the increasing number of complaints related to this issue, and calling my local dealer, only to be told that, since my warranty had expired, i would be responsible for honda's problem. i knew i had to do something to not only protect my daughter, but also protect other consumers experiencing the same problem. if you're reading this, please take the time to file a complaint with honda usa at 1-800-999-1009 and dot's, nhtsa at 1-888-327-4236. the only way, we as consumers, are going to be able to make honda do anything to correct their problem, is to file a complaint with the proper regulatory agency. it upsets me, to know, that honda, knowing they have a defective part, will not look out for the safety of their customers, and step up to the plate, and correct this problem they created. my local dealer told me that since my warranty had expired, it would cost me $100.00 to replace the sun visor. i informed him that i will make a call to the above-listed numbers, and we will proceed from there. please make the calls if you're experiencing this problem. do not allow honda to get away with, not only a safety issue, but also making us pay for their defective product. this could have been a dangerous situation. make sure you select visibility, under the components name, located on the vehicle information page, of this complaint form. | |||

| I own a 2007 honda civic with 40,000 miles on it. the sunvisors on this vehicle are complete junk. i already had the oem sunvisors replaced, and now the replacements have broken in exactly the same way. the honda dealer attempted to tell me that it was my fault the visors had broken, when it is extremely obvious that in fact they melt every time the temperature goes over 90 in my area. i have found numerous complaints of this exact same issue online and would like to let you know that it is not just a problem in the southwest. having a sunvisor flop into your eyes/line of vision or not being able to properly block sun from your vision are both safety issues. it is completely irresponsible of honda not to replace something as inexpensive as a sunvisor at their own expense. *tr | |||

| I have purchased the brand new march 2007 honda civic on may 2007. the driver's side sun visor is broken and does not remain in up position nor remain on the side. this is a driving hazard as it blocks and obstructs the driver's view, and will hit the driver with vehicle movement. it causes a huge issue with visibility on the road. not so much during the day but very much at night to the point where it is extremely annoying to drive with it at night. it is under warranty for three years but car driven more then 30,000 miles. when i go to schaumburg honda they said it is never covered under warranty because it is wear & tear. i also have bumper to bumper warranty even though they did not care to verify warranty and quoted me parts $65.00 and installation charge $36.00. this is given in writing by dealer on 02/16/2010. *tr | |||

| Honda civic sun visors, split, break and lose their ability to stay fixed while driving. i'm in need in replacing my 3rd sun visor. the visors on the honda civic drops and obstructs a clear view when driving and is a major safety concern. honda dealers tell consumers that it's due to heat in the area where i live, but there are many websites listing complaints from with other honda owners who live in an areas with cooler temperatures. regardless of where one resides, i am uncomfortable driving my car with fear that the visor will drop without warning, startle me and obstruct my view. how does one get through to the honda manufacturer that this is a major problem that must be resolved, not just replaced at the owner's expense. *tr | |||

| The sun visor is broken in my 2007 honda civic ex. when it first happened, i was able to muscle it up into the proper closed position, but since i park in the sun, and need to use a sun shade, i need to put down the sun shade, then muscle it back into the closed position again. this morning as i put down the shade, i heard a loud cracking sound, and saw that the shade is falling apart now, with broken pieces of plastic now falling out of the shade. this is a design flaw that several others have reported. i have a 100 mile commute to work, so the car was long out of warranty when this first happened, based on mileage, and i can't afford to have this repaired at my cost, so i will have to attempt to repair it myself, as there has been no recall initiated by honda for this extremely common issue. *tr | |||

| The visor on the driver side in 2007 honda civic lx model is made of cheap plastic and cracks open if you happen to pull it down and put it back up frequently. once it cracks open it will not stay up again and hangs loose down obstructing the driver's view. it hangs down and very annoying while driving as front view is obstructed because of loose hanging visor. my car is just one and half year old and it has already cracked open twice. last time when the dealer replaced it since it is under warranty it cracked open in just couple months. if this problem is not fixed it will become a safety hazard as people can not go on buying and replacing the visor every month and in the absence may get involved in car accidents due to vision getting blocked with visor. *tr | |||
