2007 Honda Civic Visibility

I AM A RESIDENT OF CHARLESTON SC AND IT GETS FAIRLY HOT HERE WITH SUMMER MONTH TEMPERATURES. I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC AND THE SUN VISORS ( BOTH OF THEM) HAVE MELTED , CRACKED AND BROKEN FROM MY CAR GETTING WARMER INSIDE WHILE SITTING.THE VISORS HANG IN THE LINE OF VIEW FOR MYSELF AND PASSENGERS OF MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS FAIRLY NEW,AND A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING THIS IS PRETTY COMMON OCCURRENCE AFTER RESEARCHING THIS. *TR

SUN VISOR IN 2007 LX CIVIC COUPE FAILED IN HOT WEATHER. THE PLASTIC MELTED AND SPRING BROKE THROUGH SO THAT IT DOES NOT FUNCTION AND PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTS VIEW. REPLACED THE VISOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2008, AND THE NEW ONE BROKE AGAIN IN 2009. THE PART IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BY HONDA. *TR

A SUN VISOR FAILED, AGAIN. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME. FIRST WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SECOND AND THIRD, PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE MELTING OF THE VISOR INSIDES, DUE TO HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, IS NOW A KNOWN DEFECT TO MANY OWNERS AND THE DEALERSHIPS. DRIVING WITH THE SUN VISOR STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN A TALLER DRIVER IS PRESENT. ALSO, THE ISSUE IS NOT EASILY MENDED UNLESS THE VISOR IS TAKEN IN TO BE REPLACED. WHICH WAS FREE THE FIRST TWO TIMES, BUT NOW COSTS AROUND $100. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX WHICH I PURCHASED FROM DEALER NEW. RECENTLY MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR "RUPTURED" OPEN, AND NO LONGER STAYS IN THE SECURE POSITION. IT DROPS DOWN IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING AND OBSTRUCTS MY VISION. I AM TALL, SO THIS IS A SAFETY VISIBILITY ISSUE FOR ME. APPARENTLY HONDA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND ALSO SETTLED ON A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND ACKNOWLEDGED A DEFECT IN THE VISOR. HOWEVER, THE RECALL ONLY EXTENDS UP TO 100,000 MILES AND I HAVE MORE THAN THAT, SO THE DEALER SAYS HONDA WILL NOT COVER IT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THAT IS VERY WRONG, PARTICULARLY WHEN HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECTIVE PART, AND IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR FAILS TO RETURN TO "UP" POSITION HANGS DOWN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CRACKED ALONG SEAM AND FALLS DOWN INTO VISION OF DRIVER. CAN'T BE RESTORED AND YOU CAN ONLY GET IT OUT OF THE WAY BY PUSHING IT TO THE SIDE. IT DOES NOT REMAIN ANCHORED THERE AND WHEN YOU TURN IT MOVES. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HINGE IS DEFECTIVE. IT BROKE, AND THE VISOR IS NO LONGER ADJUSTABLE -- IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. JUDGING FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINS BEING REGISTERED ELSEWHERE ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN, AS I AM NOW BLINDED BY THE SUN OR HAVE THE VISOR BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I WILL CONTACT HONDA TO REQUEST A FREE REPLACEMENT, BUT AS MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE. *TR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR IN OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC BREAKS IN THE SUMMER TIME. IT CRACKS AT THE JOINT THAT MOUNTS TO THE ROOF. CAUSES VISORS TO HANG DOWN ALL THE TIME AND HAMPER VIEW. APPARENTLY A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS. *KB

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. OPENED UP SUNROOF COVER TO DISCOVER THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. NOTHING HIT THE GLASS; IT IS BOWED OUTWARDS AS IF IT HAD BECOME TOO LARGE FOR THE FRAME. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN INTO THE LINE OF VISION ON OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN. IT APPEARS THE VISOR HAS BECOME WARPED AND WILL NOT STAY SEATED AND OFTEN FALLS DOWN INTO YOUR LINE OF SIGHT OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. ONLY RECOURSE IS TO SWING IT OVER TOWARDS THE DOOR BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS YOUR VISION IS BLOCKED UNTIL THE SUN VISOR CAN BE RE-LOCATED. *TR

SUN VISOR BROKE. I PUT MY SUN VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN COMING IN MY EYES, AND WHEN I WENT TO LIFT IT BACK UP, IT 'SNAPPED' AND WON'T GO BACK UP TO THE LOCKED UP RIGHT POSITION. I TOOK IT TO HONDA WHILE I HAD MY OIL CHANGE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE 100 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR TO CHANGE IT. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT, AND HAVE SINCE LOOKED AND SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME TYPE. MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR

SUN VISOR FAILED, RESULTING IN REDUCED VISIBILITY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE AND BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SUN VISORS HAVE BECOME LOOSE AND HANG DOWN IN THE WAY CONSTANTLY. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS NOW DETACHED AND IS OF NO USE FOR BLOCKING SUNLIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES THAT MY VISION AS A DRIVER HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO THE LACK OF PROTECTION FROM THE SUN VISOR. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, EVEN WITH THE PROTECTION OF SUNGLASSES. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WILL EVENTUALLY DETACH AS WELL. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED, AS IT HAPPENED JUST AFTER MY CAR WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE VISORS WILL COST $75 EACH AND MY HONDA DEALERSHIP DOESN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE NEW VISORS WON'T HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THE OLD ONES HAD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND MANY OTHER CIVIC OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE VISORS. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT HONDA CORRECTS THIS PROBLEM AND HAS A RECALL FOR THE SUN VISORS, OTHERWISE AS A CONSUMER CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY, I WILL NOT WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

SUN VISOR IN 2007 HONDA CIVIC SPLITS AT SEAM AND FALLS IN TO LINE OF SIGHT. THE VISOR CAN NO LONGER BE LOCKED IN PLACE, IT CONTINUOUSLY FALLS IN TO THE LINE OF SIGHT. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT OPEN AND BLOCKS LINE OF SIGHT BECAUSE IT WON'T STAY UP OR AT ANY ANGLE AND GOES STRAIGHT DOWN, BLOCKING THE VISIBILITY OF STREET LIGHTS ESPECIALLY. I HAVE TO GO INTO HONDA TO HAVE IT FIXED NOW AND DON'T KNOW IF MY WARRANTY COVERS A SIMPLE SUN VISOR OR NOT, BUT IF NOT I HAVE SEEN REPORTS ONLINE THAT THIS IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT $100. I COULD USE THE "IN THIS TOUGH ECONOMY" LINE, BUT REGARDLESS OF THE ECONOMY WHO WANTS TO SPEND $100 ON SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AND SILLY AS A FAULTY SUN VISOR BECAUSE A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND A FEW BUCKS OF THEIR MONEY ON MAKING THIS RIGHT? SORRY THIS GOT A LITTLE EDITORIAL BUT IT IS JUST FRUSTRATING. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC EX 4 DOOR (60,000 MILES), DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT OPEN AT THE SEAM AND NOW HANGS DOWN AND BLOCKS FORWARD AND SIDE LINE OF SIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE EARLIER WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER GLADLY FIXED IT. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY 100+ BUCKS FOR A DESIGN ISSUE THAT I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR. *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

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKEN AND DANGLES. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SPLIT OPEN ON HOT DAY AND WILL NO LONGER STAY UP OR DOWN. IMPACTS VISIBILITY. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS BREAKING I HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO ALREADY AND HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE IT FOR ME. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO TURN OFF OR WHEN THEY DO TURN OFF FAIL TO PARK IN A LOWERED POSITION. VEHICLE WAS 500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANUFACTURER WHO HAS ISSUED A TSR ON THIS. DEALER FILED APPEAL WITH DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER WHO AUTHORIZED A REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER MOTOR FOR A COURTESY CHARGE OF $50 TO OWNER. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HAS SPLIT AT THE SEAM TWICE, AND I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED BY MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER BOTH TIMES. IT STARTS TO SPLIT SLOWLY, BUT WITH EACH USE GETS GRADUALLY WORSE UNTIL IT JUST HANGS LIMPLY, OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE 2ND TIME IT WAS REPLACED, HONDA SAID I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT FULLY PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART (THIS WAS IN THE SPAN OF APPROX. 1 YEAR). WHEN THE VISOR WAS BROKEN, I HAD SEVERAL NEAR-WRECKS DUE TO THE VISOR BEING DIRECTLY IN MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AS A DRIVER, YOU EITHER HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT THE SUN WILL BE IN YOUR EYES AND WILL BLOCK YOUR VIEW OR THE VISOR WILL BE IN YOUR WAY AND OBSTRUCT YOUR VIEW. THIS IS AN EVERY-DAY OCCURRENCE, AS A VISOR IS USED ALMOST DAILY. THE SECOND TIME I HAD IT REPLACED, I TOOK A BINDER CLIP (FOUND AT ANY OFFICE SUPPLY STORE) AND CLIPPED IT OVER THE SEAM TO KEEP IT HELD TOGETHER. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM OF THE SEAM SPLITTING SINCE I HAVE PUT THE CLIP THERE, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HOLD MY 2007 VEHICLE TOGETHER WITH A PAPER CLIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SUN VISOR FLIPPED DOWN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TWICE WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED BUT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.
