8th generation civics exposed to hot weather may experience failure to their visors. This causes the loss of integrity in components of the visors, preventing them from staying up. This is a safety issue as the visor is either in the way of the driver or won't stay in a fixed position when pushed to the side. *tr

I have a 2006 honda civic lx. Under warranty in 2007 the passenger sun visor broke when i put it down. At this point it would not stay up when you push it up, it would just hang straight down and block my vision to my right, not safe. The dealer replace it under warranty and told me that there was a bulletin on this issue. In 2008 the same thing append to my driver side. I had the same results as the right side…

The incident date is non-specific as this is an ongoing issue. The sun visors are very stiff and the effort required to raise and lower them frequently results in the visor springing away from the retaining clip. This movement could startle unsuspecting drivers or result in the visor hitting the driver's head. I have reported this issue to the local dealer and was advised that the visors had to be that stiff or they…

The sun visors in my 2006 honda civic is made of plastic, and the plastic softens/melts to the point where the sun visors cannot be placed back into their original position nor do they stay put in the down position. This blocks a portion of the normal view of the road and can be a hazard. It is a terrible design that honda needs to fix. I originally had honda replace it as part of the warranty but have not gotten it…

Since we bought the car new we have replaced a total of 7 sun visors. Especially during the summer, the warm weather causes the seam to fail and the visor split at the shaft. Our eighth one has failed. The result is that the visor hangs down and will not return up out of the way. This is a common problem per our dealer. There needs to be engineering of the product. I have had no problems with my 08 rav4. A search of…

Visors have been replaced once under warranty but continually break. Forced to drive with hanging visor blocking line of sight or driving with no visor at all risking sun blinding at certain time of the day.

Both driver side and passenger sun visors fell apart and would not open or close properly. This hindered my driving ability by not blocking the sun when needed and by falling open when not needed. Dealership replaced visors with the same type of equipment and told me to not be surprised if they break again because they believe the equipment is faulty. *nm
