Sunvisors: the sun visors on this car fell apart without any damage to them. Either the visor completely fell out or the visor will not stay up causing an obstruction/distraction while driving. There has been a recall on the 2008 models; however, there are problems with this year as well. *tr

Driver's side visor just fell apart. It was not acting any different and then i went to position it back to its resting position before pulling out of work and it failed. Housing has separated which kept the interior workings in place. Now the visor has slipped out from around the mechanism and i do not have the ability to position it to assist me in driving safely. *tr

Driver's sun visor split apart at the top seam, with the inner spring sticking out so it won't go back into place without (for now) using both hands to squeeze everything back in and try to reposition, otherwise it just hangs down and blocks view. Cannot safely lower the visor to use, so driving looking into the sun etc becomes hazardous. Searched online to see if this was a design problem, and after reading posts…

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. *tt

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.…

I drive a 2007 honda civic, and lately the driver's side sun visor has been difficult to move. This has been happening for over a year now, and last week i noticed the casing near the rod around which the visor rotates cracking. Today the visor came off completely and i realize that the teeth securing the visor to the rod don't rotate around the rod anymore, forcing the plastic in the visor to warp and eventually…

The visor on my honda civic 2007 has cracked and hangs down in my face causing visibility of the road to be greatly diminished. Due to the cracked visor you are unable to get the visor to go back up and stay up so everytime i drive my car i can barely see the road. If i wreck my car due to this error in the make of honda civics i will sue honda for not having a recall on something that is extremely dangerous for…

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. *tr
