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.

We own a 2007 honda civic dx which has had a chronic problem with the driver's side sun visor failing twice before and, now, both the driver's side and passenger's side sun visors have failed. Each time a honda dealer has replaced the defective part. The safety issue is that, with the driver's side malfunctioning, the driver has to hold the visor out of his / her line of site leaving only one hand to drive the car.…

Visibility
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

1. 2007 honda civic visor split within a month of purchase.

Hello, i bought the 2007 honda civic brand new. The sun visors on both sides busted within 2 months. There was no unusual pressure or use. Given the numbered complaints. I thought this should be escalated. We must have honda resolve the issue definitively and quickly. Both for the ongoing safety and the inexplicable residual cost to the consumer. Please let me know what our rights and recourse are. Please reference…

My wife's hybrid honda civic (2007) while driving, if you open the two back windows, you get this loud whipping of wind sound thru out the car, its an aerodynamics flaw i believe. In any case its annoying to the point where you must roll the windows back up. *tr
