It wasn't until I received a notice about a settlement that I realized it's not normal. Will try to contact the local dealer to see how much it will cost to get both visors fixed.

I have 2006 Honda Civic. It's driver side sun visor is broken. It's not broken because I was playing with it but it just pops out because of the heat. Now it does not stay at top. I have different car but I never had any issue like this.

Entered parked car and while preparing to begin driving, the driver side sun visor unexpectedly failed, hanging down obstructing driver's view. While an attempt to reposition the sun visor was made, the visor would not keep the position and would return to the hanging down position, making safe driving impossible. Another attempt to reposition the visor, this time squeezing the split plastic together, at the hinge, succeeded placing the visor out of the way. The visor has not been repositioned since. I have researched reports and even after replacement of the visor, the problem returns, often much less than a year later. It seems the failure is more a function of heat exposure, than time. In my case, the heat is not an issue. I drive the car back and forth to work only, and the outside temperature is usually 60 to 70 deg. F.

This will be the third time I've had to have my sun-visor replaced on my 2006 Honda Civic. The visor clip breaks, leaving the visor to hang down into your face. The visor will neither stay up or all the way down. It poses a safety hazard during both day time and night time driving. The first time the part was replaced when I bought the vehicle at 9 months old; the second time it was replaced was a year and a half ago. Yesterday I went to my local dealership for an oil change and to have them fix the broken visor and they wanted to charge me 75$ for the part + labor + taxes. This is a safety hazard; also this is not a problem I caused by rough-wear--it just falls apart!.
