Headlights problems of the 2006 Honda Civic

Due to Honda's admitted poor paint job, paint began coming off (on roof first). Honda said they extended warranty, without notifying owners. Also say it is not safety risk. If the roof rusts, the sun roof will certainly dismount causing safety issue; if side panels rust, exhaust enters passenger compartment causing safety issue. Furthermore, headlights cloud tremendously regardless of preventative attempts. If driver can't see properly or another car cannot see the Honda, it is a safety risk. Honda America is simply a lame, perhaps once good company now trying to ride on reputation to sell poorly constructed vehicles and deny all liability for faulty work by claiming it is not a safety issue. So far, nothing has happened, and I'd like to keep it that way. However, if Honda America does not own their mistakes and faulty work, correct the problems it is a matter of time before a safety breech occurs.

The current model (2006-present) Honda Civic has a serious safety defect. All models are equipped with daytime running lights, as well as a dashboard that is always illuminated. These two features combined at night fool drivers into thinking that their exterior lights are on, when in fact only the headlights are on, and at reduced power. I have nearly hit one of these cars because it was dark and the car did not have its lights on. Nhtsa should require Honda to modify all cars to either get rid of the daytime running lights or install an automatic light sensor to turn all exterior lights on at dusk.

The visors on both sides continue to separate at the connection to the shaft. The failure results in the visor not returning to the headliner and results in a visual obstruction. Although Honda has replaced now both the visors twice on my car, the visors fail every 6 months, especially during the summer months. The units need to be redesigned.
