Putting down my sun visor caused something to crack, and now it will not go up and it is constantly blurring my vision and i have to tape it to the roof of my car. Nothing has been done to fix it. This is a common occurrence with the vehicle in question. *tr

Driver side and passenger side visors fell apart almost like they melted. I don't think they fixed it the first time i brought it in. Now they are saying it isn't covered under warranty. They knew the visor design was flawed. Now i can't move either visors from my view. *tr

1. Nothing happened to lead up to it. It just broke. 2. Driver side sun visor split and won't stay up. It is safety issue when driving as it's always falling down and constantly taking my attention away from the road to try and get it to stay up or to the side. 3. Tried to find a used one, but no luck. Honda wants me to pay to replace it. *tr

2007 honda civic driver's side visor split open just a few months after it was purchased in may 2007. Dealer could not replace right away because visors were on back order because so many had failed. Since that time i have made sure visor was never left in the down position, however the visor split open again while in the up position. I was only out of the car for 30 minutes. The mileage is 53000, so it is no longer…

Our 2007 honda civic sun visor has broken twice. The first time was only a month or so after purchasing brand new from the dealer. When the sun visor breaks, it dangles in front of the driver's view. Whether in the front or pushed to the side, the broken sun visor tilts down and dangles in a distracting way which is dangerous for the driver of the civic. The sun visor was very poorly designed by honda. Structurally…

Car sits in the sun while at work. I have tinted windows, leave them slightly cracked to get some airflow, and also use a sun shield on the windshield to keep as much heat out as i can. Still, the sun visor hinges fail and the visors hang down in your face with no way to get them out of the way except removing them from the car completely. I had one visor replaced under warranty last year, and now both…

Driver's side visor was loose and did not stay in the full up or full down position reliably, trouble began a year after delivery and gradually became worse. In june, 2010, the visor suddenly split open and the visor hung loosely and would stay in the up position. I repaired the visor by clamping the split parts together with a u-shaped piece of stainless steel. Seems to be holding for now. *tr

The sun visor in my honda keeps falling apart and sometimes it falls right in front of my face which is a safety issue. I see online this is happening to a lot of honda owners. Can you do anything about it? This is the second visor that went bad. It is very distracting when you are driving. *tr

Sun visor broke. I put my sun visor down to block the sun coming in my eyes, and when i went to lift it back up, it 'snapped' and won't go back up to the locked up right position. I took it to honda while i had my oil change to have them look at it, and they said it would be 100 dollars plus labor to change it. I refused to pay for it, and have since looked and seen many other complaints of the same type. Maybe this…

There is a design flaw with 2007 honda civics, which is a potential safety issue. The sun visors split in hot weather, which causes them to no longer be adjustable to block the sun while driving. *tr

Honda civic models 2006 and 2007 have defective sun visors. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reported cases online. Twice in the past 14 months, i have been driving when my sun visor unexpectedly split at the seam and suddenly fell into my line of sight. Both times i was startled and my vision was obstructed while operating the car at speeds exceeding 60 mph. Fortunately, i was able to avoid an accident both…

I own a 2007 honda civic with 40,000 miles on it. The sunvisors on this vehicle are complete junk. I already had the oem sunvisors replaced, and now the replacements have broken in exactly the same way. The honda dealer attempted to tell me that it was my fault the visors had broken, when it is extremely obvious that in fact they melt every time the temperature goes over 90 in my area. I have found numerous…

There were no signs that my daughter's driver's side sun visor, while driving, was going to break, and hang down in front of her eyes, blocking her view of the road. If this is not a safety issue, then what is? After searching the web and noticing the increasing number of complaints related to this issue, and calling my local dealer, only to be told that, since my warranty had expired, i would be responsible for…

2007 honda civic sun visor fails at the seam and blocks the driver's view. This has happened 8-9 timnes sinec i purchased honda in 2007. Each time the dealer replaces it, but it takes time and is dangerous until it is replaced. Can't honda's engineers design a visor? *tr

The sun visor cracked a few months ago and will not return to the upright position. I have seen several websites where this seems to be a manufacturing defect for several model years that honda has not chosen to respond to. It is not a visibility issue for me, i am under 5'4" but it does affect the line of vision for my boyfriend who is 6'. *tr

I purchased a 2007 honda civic in late may 2007. In sept 2008, the sun visor on the driver's side broke. When i contacted honda they stated that this problem always occurs in warm climates. The sun visor will malfunction in warm climates and it is clear that this is a problem on a large scale that should be corrected by honda.

Driving along at 65 mph on the freeway and the driver's side sun visor split open at the "glued" seam and it fell down in my lap, nearly causing me to have a serious accident as it obscured my vision and certainly startled me.
