My sun visor cracked at the hinge over a year ago and since that time it would repeatedly fall in my face blocking my line of sight. Many times it even hit me in the head. Honda wouldn't pay to replace or fix it. I finally removed it since it obstructed my view of the road so now i have the sun in my eyes. I am not apt to buy the same part again as i've seen hundreds of postings online about honda civic owners who…

Both sun visors on my 2008 honda civic ex sedan swing down suddenly and unexpectedly. This abrupt malfunction blocks view of both the road and the rear view mirror, creating an extremely hazardous driving situation. When they swing down, efforts to return them to the ?up? (never have been deployed) position are completely useless. Both swing down again and refuse to remain up and out of the way. The visors are made…

Defective sun visor: splits open & won't hold up, obstruct view. This happened multiple times: right side 09/08/08, left side 09/29/08, right side 10/07/11, left side 06/12/12. Honda keeps replacing it with the same defective design. Please read other forums and see that this is a very frustrating issue. When it is broken, there's no way to hold it up but with your hand. Dangerous driving on the freeway like that.…

Drivers sun visor on 2008 civic ex coupe suddenly swings down creating hazard especially at night. This visor is useless and refuse to remain up. It appears several plastic pieces inside the visor are popped out making impossible to function correctly. This seems to be a consistent problem with 2008 civics. At my scheduled service i plan on talking to the dealer about problem and correction. *tr

There has been no wreck or fire---this is a complaint for your tsb compilations....we have an 08 civic lx: the transmission shifts roughly, and with delays. Slowing down and then re accelerating lightly causes a delay----as if the transmission/control module can't figure out which gear to get into--- and then a rough engagement. From d to reverse, there is a harder engagement than should be. It's as if there is a…
