8th generation honda civic models have a common problem of sun visor hinge failures that cause the visor to always stay in the down position. This is not so much of a problem during the day, but it severely limits the sight of the driver at night. This is a problem with all 8th gen civics, but honda refuses to cover the repair, or to recall the visor. *tr

2007 honda civic visor is defective, splits, falls down and obstructs driver's view and can cause accident. Safety issue. Honda replaced once. Now failed again. Claims not under warranty-not a safety issue. What do i do with my 16 yr. Old daughter when this happens while she is driving? Please make this a recall. Otherwise, i'll be replacing twice a year forever. Thank you so much. *tr

I purchased a new honda civic sedan in 2007. At around 40,000 miles, the driver's side visor has split apart and will not stay up. It flops down making it difficult for me to see the roads. I have not taken the visor to get repaired, but my research shows that this has happened to several other owners of the same type of vehicle. *tr

2007 honda civic ex sun visor broken where it attaches to the ceiling of the car. My car is still under warranty and i have had both sun visors replaced a total of 4 times. After it breaks, i have had to have it replaced immediately because it causes a huge issue with visibility on the road.

I have a 2007 honda civic lx. Hot day, opened the car door and sat down and noticed my sun visor flapped down and busted. Looked online to see if this was a common problem and view hundreds of complaints and the pictures of what happened to my case. Buerkle honda in minnesota wants to charge me 125.00 to fix a problem that was not my fault and is obviously a common problem that they are ignoring. *tr

Sun visors split in half. Once the visors are split, they will not hold a "tucked up" position, but rather will hang down and obstruct the driver's vision. The problem is chronic and there is now a class action lawsuit that has forced the vehicle manufacturer to extend the warranty on the sun visors. However, the broken visors are being replaced by another visor with the same design defect. After a brief period of…
