I have also had the plastic particles from the crack fly into my eyes when i had the window down. I've read…

The sun visor on the drivers side broke for no apparent reason...very hazardous when driving...have researched the past several months...dealers, customers, internet, all are addressing this problem...honda will not cover the cost out of warranty...should be a recall on this as it impairs driving and is dangerous. *tr

Design defect of sunvisor on 2006 honda civic leads to failure of sun visor to stay in up position. Sunvisor falls down to block drivers vision. Problem is well documented by many owners on web sites such as http://www.usrecallnews.com/2007/09/major-honda-civic-recall-of-2006-and-2007-models.html to my knowledge honda has not issued a recall or redesigned the defective part. *tr

My sun visors continually break on my 2006 honda civic. The dealership has replaced them for free; however, it is a hassle to get them to do it. They try to charge me until i get fuming mad and tell them that this is my xx number of trips back to their dealership with the same problem. It is a safety hazard to have your sun visor crack or split and hang down in your face while you are driving. The sun visors used by…

My driver's side visor is defective and hangs right in my line of vision when driving. The only way to avoid this is to tape it to the ceiling of the car. In talking with other honda civic owners, it appears that this is a product defect. My concern is that it impedes safe driving, but is costly to fix. *tr

Driver's side sun-visor on 2006 honda civic is not usable. When pulled down to block the sun, the visor pulls apart. When trying to return the visor to the upright position, the visor gets stuck blocking the drivers view of the road. Seems to be something wrong with the glue because this only happens when the vehicle is parked in the sun, but occurs even if it is as cold as 30 degrees outside. *tr

Both sun visors on 2006 honda civic have broken. The driver's side broke at ~59,000, fixed and broke again at 82,000. The driver's side visor is currently hanging in the line of sight and ready to fall off. It split apart at the top seam. Both visors do not sit in the closed position properly which causes them to constantly be in the driver's line of sight when driving. Visors remain in the open position - unable to…

1) since i've owned my car, i have had to replace a faulty visor..and each time it gets hot outside, my visor acts up and ends up breaking and hanging in front of my face while i drive. 2) every summer it won't work properly and eventually it breaks requiring it to be replaced. 3) you have no choice but to replace it each time this happens. And it's unpredictable as to when it's going to break. There is no fix to…

I bought a 2006 honda civic and within a year my driver side visor stopped working. It wouldn't stay up and every now and then it would just drop down. This almost caused me to wreck because i was driving one day and the visor snapped down which scared me and i couldn't see, which is how i almost wreck. It finally came off and because i didn't have a warranty i could get it fixed without paying over $100 per visor.…
