Honda civic 2007 visor pops open and does not grab. Visor floats down into field of vision. Honda not issuing recall they don't believe it is a safety issue. Maybe a lawyer will convince them. *tr

2007 honda civic sun visors split open and will not stay up. The visor then dangles down in the driver's face and partially obstructs vision. From online complaint forums, appears to happen in 2006 and 2008s too. Although there may be a tech bulletin, the dealer would not replace, and the problems appears to happen on replacements as well. *tr

The sun visors in my 2007 honda civic are defective. The plastic inside the visor weakens and breaks in the heat, and the visor no longer stays in place. It can drop into the driver's line of vision at any time, posing a hazard for visibility when driving. It can no longer be used to block the sun, so visibility is reduced when driving into the sun as well. *tr
