I own a 2007 honda civic si which has faulty sun visors. The visors appear to be made of two separate pieces which separate apart in the heat. Due to this separation, they do not "grip" the little arm which is connected to the ceiling; therefore, the visors cannot be pushed up to the ceiling. No-matter-what the visors drops down and returns to the position it would be to be used (for example, if the sun is in your…

The sun visor in my 2007 two door honda has broken and will not stay in place. It gets in the way of my vision and distracts me when trying to drive. The design flaw of the visors in this car is major. It will not stay up and falls down in front of my face. A few times it has caused such a distraction i almost ran off the road trying to keep it out of my face. This occurs every day and i have to move it to the side…

The driver side visor fell on my lap and honda replaced it because it was still on warranty.. But now the passenger visor is hanging down but honda wont replace because its out of warranty. The front brakes does wear out around 12k miles after replacing it with the dealer for the 3rd time (honda dont want to admit that they use poor quality pads so you'll keep coming back to them for replacement, they say its the…

The sun visors on the 2007 honda civic lx are defective. Once the hinge breaks, the visor will no longer stay up and it hangs straight down blocking more than one third of the windshield visibility. Because my vision is dangerously obstructed i often have to move the visor so that it is against the driver-side window. With the visor in this position, nearly half of the side window visibility is obstructed causing…

A sun visor failed, again. This is the 3rd time. First was the driver's side, second and third, passenger's side. The melting of the visor insides, due to high ambient temperature, is now a known defect to many owners and the dealerships. Driving with the sun visor stuck in the down position can be very dangerous when a taller driver is present. Also, the issue is not easily mended unless the visor is taken in to be…

I purchased my 2007 honda civic new in december 2006. Since that time my driver's side overhead visor has broken and failed twice! Once in june 2009 and again october 2010. This is unsafe for normal driving because the visor will not remain out of my field of vision when i drive. There is no way to adequately secure the visor out of the field of sight without totally replacing the part. The first time it was…

The sun visors (both drivers and passenger ) split at the top seams where they are glued together, making it impossible for visors to stay up; thus obscuring the vision of both the driver and passenger. This is the second time the passenger sun visor has been replaced for the same defect which is a manufacturing, design, and engineering defect. I was advised by several honda employees that numerous sun visors are…

The driver side sun visor on my 2007 honda civic is defective. The plastic pieces that attach it to the mounting has melted due to the heat inside of the car and causes the visor to not be able to be put back into the upright position. Before it totally broke, it would fall down into my line of vision while driving, since it was not able to be folded back up properly due to the damaged parts. It now hangs partially…

I have a 2007 honda civic coupe and both the passenger and driver sun visors have become loose and hang down in the way constantly. The driver side visor has now detached and is of no use for blocking sunlight. There have been many times that my vision as a driver has been compromised due to the lack of protection from the sun visor. I feel extremely unsafe driving in direct sunlight, even with the protection of…

I have a 2007 honda civic, and the driver's side sun visor hinge is defective. It broke, and the visor is no longer adjustable -- it just hangs straight down. Judging from the number of complains being registered elsewhere online, this is a very common problem. It is also a safety concern, as i am now blinded by the sun or have the visor blocking my field of vision. I will contact honda to request a free…

2007 honda civic sun visors break and will not stay up. Driver cannot see traffic lights without holding the sun visor up with his/her hand. Visor falls back down as soon as it is pushed up. This is a safety issue because the driver's vision is impaired. Driver's visor just broke, while passenger visor also broke a few months ago -- suggests the visors are defective. Car only has 45,000 miles on it. *tr
