| I was driving down the road at approximately 35 miles per hour in town when the driver side sun visor fell in my view. it would not stay up. it split into two pieces that would not go back together. i went to the honda dealership to get 2 new rear tires because the car keeps eating up the rear tires for some strange reason. i asked the dealership about this visor and a possible recall at that time in november. the dealership told me my vin number was not included in the recall and they couldn't repair my defective visor for free. the dealership told me my right front seal was bad, front brakes were bad, and my right rear shock was bad and that it would be about 1000 to fix everything. *tr | |||

| The sun visors on the car are built poorly and the plastic will split, causing the sun visor to fail. after failure, the sun visor will not return to the folded position, obstructing the driver's view as it sticks out into the car, reducing visibility. both american honda as well as local honda dealerships acknowledge this flaw in the vehicles but they are currently resisting my attempts to have my car's sun visors replaced for free due to design flaw. they claim that my car is out of warranty and that the lawsuit filed against american honda last year has an extended warranty but it does not cover my car's vin number. this problem needs to be fixed as it is reoccurring and potentially dangerous if the vehicle is in motion. honda acknowledges that not all owners who have this issue report the problem and that it is widespread but no recall has been placed because they are often just fixed on a case by case problem but even replacements often fail as no change to the product's faulty design has been made. | |||
