Visibility/Wiper
Wiper blades makes loud rubbing noise, because wiper arms are pressed very hard against windshield causing friction between the blades and windshield. I installed new wipers from sam's club, still loud noise is not going away. This problem existed ever since i bought brand new civic in 2010, but due to light usage mostly in dry days, i ignored this problem. I feel car is unsafe to drive in rain or snow due to poorly…

In 2012 i purchased a 2010 honda civic ex coupe. I started having issues with the sun visors breaking. At first my warranty covered the cost and then out of pocket expense of $150.00 each time i had to replace. The issue is the safety of not being able to see in the sun light or the evening, due to the broken sun visors dangling in my line of sight. Enclosed are pictures of the broken sun visors pass and present. I…

Driver side sun visor is broken/defective. The two plastic panels just cracks open or fall apart even though it has always been operated properly. It is a safety hazard since visibility is greatly affected with the visor not working in the summer sun!! I have noticed this potential problem when purchased it in 2015 but though the visor's arm just need some lubrication but that's not the case.

I have replaced a fan resistor for my interior fan three times once at the dealer and the other two at a mechanic shop this has become dangerous due to the fact that you can not turn on your fan when you need to defrost you windshield when it fogs up restricting your visibility to a dangerous level.

Driver's side visor is broken. The plastic seam has split and the visor would not stay in place. The visor suddenly turns down while driving obstructing my view of the road and the traffic in front of me. This has almost caused an accident on multiple occasions. I managed to get the gear inside back into position, but cannot use the visor when needed because it breaks every time it is lowered into position. This is…

Sun visor in 2010 honda civic broken. The plastic is cracked at the seam and the mechanism inside the visor cannot work properly. Visor does not stay in place in either up or down position. Visor falls into line of vision during vehicle operation. Fails to block the sun when necessary. Honda refuses to fix the visor. A new visor is $95 excluding labor. I have reported this before and this is a known issue.

The driver's side sun visor just cracked open and became impossible to fold back up. It stays hanging from the ceiling and limiting visibility. To see better i have to adjust the height of the seat, but makes the driving uncomfortable and with lower visibility as well.

The sun visor on my 2010 honda civic will not stay up in the lock position. It will fall down at any moment and not fully lock into up position. This was addressed when i took it to the honda dealer and they said was out of warranty, but i have an extended warranty. I have called back twice and was told his rep has not got back to him and i need to wait. Tired of waiting because this is a safety issue, because the…

Sunvisor on driver side is coming apart at the seam and will not stay completely in the up position (against the roof liner). I have not repaired or replaced this yet and dread it as the car is now out of warranty. I only recently surpassed 36000 miles, but have had the car nearly 5 years. I hate having to pay a dealer to fix piddly little things like this and am very disappointed to see this kind of issue on a…

Both drivers side and passenger side sun visors no longer work and are split by the base. The passenger side always hangs down and while leaving the gas station i almost ran into a pedestrian i could not see because of the hanging sun visor obstruction. I had to remove the visor from the passenger side and cannot use the drivers side for fear that i can't get it to stay up.

Interior sun visor failure . The sun visors will no longer stay in the up position. No incident but the sun visor failure effects visibility therefore should be considered a safety issue and defect in materials and workmanship and repaired at the manufactures expense.

Driver side sun visor broke by simply pulling down the visor to shield my eyes at 55mph. It now just hangs halfway down and will not stay up against the roof area. I have read that honda has had issues in the past with their visors but only fixing up to 2009 and mine is a 2010. This is a bit dangerous. *tr

The driver side sun visor flopped down. When i looked at it had separated so it no longer stays up. I'm lucky it happened after i had come back from driving 40 something miles on the highway where it could have caused an accident. From looking around it would be about a 46 to 53 dollar repair plus shipping if i do it myself. What a rip off on something poorly designed. I've already searched the issue on the internet…

Vehicle sun visors fail and hang down blocking drivers view. It can happen unexpectedly and can only be cleared by quickly moving visor to side or holding up. Both actions effect the drivers ability to safely operate automobile.

The drivers side sun visor was not staying in place for about 6 months. Yesterday, when i tried to adjust it, the whole thing came right off. The visor split open and a bunch of little plastic pieces inside were broken. I took it to the mechanic and the part costs $45 and luckily i'm not being charged a service fee. I wanted to report this because i have read a lot about it online and it's not fair that the…

The standard sun visor on the driver's side is defective. It didn't stay up properly starting relatively soon after purchase, then split and had to be removed. It is exactly the same defect as other owner's have described in their class action suit for 2006-2009 model years. *tr

My driver's side sunvisor no longer completely retracts. It has split open at the joint and is constantly falling in the way of my vision. This is obviously a safety issue as well as an annoyance. I know that previous models of the civic had the same issue and i don't think honda did anything to fix the (what is obviously) a design flaw. *tr
