1. It has been a hot summer, and the car is parked in partial shade during the day. 2. The seam on the sunvisor at the arm has cracked open rendering the sunvisor ineffective. This is a safety issue because the sunvisor can only be moved while the car is stopped; it requires both hands and some time to move up or down. 3. It has not been fixed yet, but honda said that they can replace the part for $60. *tr

The driver's side visor is defective. It appears as though the seal on the hinge for the visor has come undone (not due to any excess force, simply due to general everyday use). The defective hinge on the visor leads to the inability to properly position the visor, when in use, or not in use. When in use, this creates a safety hazard due to obstructing the driver's vision by the visor itself due to inability to…

The sunvisor on my 07 honda civic cracked and hangs down, obstructing my view (especially of signal lights). This occurred on it's own. I don't pull it down often, so it's received no sort of abuses nor anything that could have possibly caused a break. I researched the part to find a cheap replacement when i discovered that i am among a multitude of people who have experienced the exact same thing!…

The sunvisor in my 2007 honda civic split at the seams and will no longer stay up. It hangs down into my field of vision. I have talked to several other honda owners and the same thing has happened to them- and with replacement parts that they have purchased. Apparently the honda sunvisors break in high heat. Mine exploded on july 24- when the heat was in the 100s. *tr

2007 honda civic sun visor cracks/splits and drops in front of your face while driving..... Very dangerous. Common issue for honda civic owners which needs to be addresses by honda.

The sun visors on both the driver and passenger side failed. The poor design of the visors is the reason for the failure. The amount of force required to move the sun visor up or down eventually "unwelds" the plastic front from the plastic back. The result is the visor is stuck in the down position resulting in a safety issue. *tr

The driver's side sun visor of my 2007 honda civic has suddenly split and will not stay up. It hangs down obstructing my view of the road-a safety hazard. It doesn't stay all the way up or down. It has split at the plastic seam & the spring mechanism seems to be broken. This sun visor was replaced by the dealer when i bought the car new, as the color was tan and my car is grey. My car is no longer under warranty & i…

The honda 07 civic sun visors are defective and must be recalled! The heat causes the visors to crack and become suspended in the down position. After it cracks it will not lock in the up position. The honda dealership admits this is a common problem and i must pay to have it fixed now that my warranty has expired! This will be the second time i've replaced both visors. *tr

I own a 2007 honda civic that was bought new in july 2007. In august 2007 the driver's side sun visor came apart and was hanging down making it hard to see when driving. Since the car was still under warranty the dealer replaced it for free. At the time they had told us they replaced numerous visors. Now it's august 2010 and it's broken again. The car is now out of warranty and the dealer will not replace the visor…

2007 honda civic ex 4 door (60,000 miles), drivers side sun visor split open at the seam and now hangs down and blocks forward and side line of sight. I believe this to be a safety issue. This happened once earlier when my car was under warranty. The dealer gladly fixed it. My car is now out of warranty and i don't want to pay 100+ bucks for a design issue that i'm not responsible for. *tr

Passenger sun visor cracked due to heat and will not stay in up position or correct slanted position for correct visibility. Appears to be a common problem on google blog sites where honda is aware of the problem but is ignoring the issue (i.e., replacement part is the same defective part that fails again). *tr

I was merging onto the interstate when this happened and it came down directly into my line of site and i couldn't see for a moment. My fiance's sister has the same car and it happened to her also.

Driver's side sun visor split open and blocks line of sight because it won't stay up or at any angle and goes straight down, blocking the visibility of street lights especially. I have to go into honda to have it fixed now and don't know if my warranty covers a simple sun visor or not, but if not i have seen reports online that this is going to cost me about $100. I could use the "in this tough economy" line, but…

Sunvisor on passenger side has split and will not stay up. This is annoying and a safety hazard. The drivers side did the same thing while car was still under warranty therefore honda replaced it for free. This is an ongoing problem for many people i don't understand why honda has not given this issue some attention in redesigning. I guess its a good money maker because the cost is not cheap. This is something you…
