The sun visor on driver side cracked and will not stay in the up position. It is a known defect by honda for 2006 to 2008 honda civics. There is a class action lawsuit against honda. The warranty was extended to 7 years or 100,000 miles. I am at 102,934 miles. I feel this is a safety hazard. It is a known defect and honda has not issued a recall. I would expect that this would be fixed free of charge. *jb

The sides that hold both driver and passenger sun visors are cracked. They have not fallen down yet. It's been like this for so long, i thought it was normal. It wasn't until i received a notice about a settlement that i realized it's not normal. Will try to contact the local dealer to see how much it will cost to get both visors fixed. With all the complaints about these visors, it seems like honda should've just…

1. Not sure of any event that led to failiure 2. Driver's side sun visor will not stay in the flipped up position - the visor has a split in the center - i.e. The center has expanded - so this split precludes it from staying in the flipped up position. 3 3 have not yet replaced, but must replace as it is a visbility safety hazard. *tr

It will not stay up and blocks my vision for street lights, signs etc. I cannot adjust it to keep the sun out of my eyes for certain angles. The honda dealership will not replace.

Visibility
The sun visors on my 2006 honda civic have failed and just hang down. This is seriouly dangerous since the hanging driver-side mirror interferes with the driver's view of traffic. The dealer says, because my car has over 36,000 miles (it has 43,000) it is no longer covered by warranty and there is no applicable recall issued by honda. *tr

I have a 2006 honda civic ex 4 door. Both sun visors have failed and fall into the field of vision, making operation of the vehicle dangerous. Honda as of yet has not called a recall.

Visibility
The sun visors on my 2006 honda civic ex have been breaking routinely about once a year. I have taken the car to the honda dealer for repair and they simply replace the broken visor. However, they have not redesigned the faulty visor design and they will continue breaking. This is a safety concern, as the visors break and hang off blocking the drivers ability to clearly see the road. *tr

I have a 2006 honda civic with 59,700 miles. I have had to replace three sun visors during the past three years because the plastic casing splits, causing the visor to hang down (it will not stay up). This is a safety problem for the driver because it blocks the driver's vision. The dealership has told me that this is a design problem. *tr
