general problems of the 2007 Honda Civic - part 1

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the front driver's side sun visor was repaired per an unknown recall. After the repair, the visor fractured. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 244,000.

My driver side sun visor would not close causing it to hang down. I got into my car smashed my head into the visor causing me pain, and tenderness on the top of my head.

The sun visor (passenger side) on my 2007 Honda Civic si split open in the hot sun while sitting in the driveway. It is not repairable and will not stay in the upright position.

The driver side interior sun visor came apart and came down into the driver's line of sight for no apparent reason. Further inspection indicated that it had split at the seam near the left side with internal damage to the visor rendering it beyond repair.

The visor is cracked and will not stay up.

Driver's side visor just fell apart. It was not acting any different and then I went to position it back to its resting position before pulling out of work and it failed. Housing has separated which kept the interior workings in place. Now the visor has slipped out from around the mechanism and I do not have the ability to position it to assist me in driving safely.

Driver's sun visor split apart at the top seam, with the inner spring sticking out so it won't go back into place without (for now) using both hands to squeeze everything back in and try to reposition, otherwise it just hangs down and blocks view. Cannot safely lower the visor to use, so driving looking into the sun etc becomes hazardous. Searched online to see if this was a design problem, and after reading posts from a few hundred different owners with the same problem (many have had the visors replaced multiple times), I gave up reading the other posts. .

I left my driver side sun visor down and with the heat it split apart. The visor now hangs down in the line of vision while driving and I will have to have it replaced.

Both sun visors on 07 Honda Civic ex split, visors will no longer stay in the up position. Visors cause a distraction and is a safety issue. You can get them replaced at Honda dealership but they give you the same visors that they know are defective and will not last. Visors are very cheaply made.

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.

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.

I drive a 2007 Honda Civic, and lately the driver's side sun visor has been difficult to move. This has been happening for over a year now, and last week I noticed the casing near the rod around which the visor rotates cracking. Today the visor came off completely and I realize that the teeth securing the visor to the rod don't rotate around the rod anymore, forcing the plastic in the visor to warp and eventually break completely. This causes the visor to stay completely down, blocking much of the field of vision. As the vehicle is out of warranty, I'm sure I'll have to pay for the part.

The visor on my Honda Civic 2007 has cracked and hangs down in my face causing visibility of the road to be greatly diminished. Due to the cracked visor you are unable to get the visor to go back up and stay up so everytime I drive my car I can barely see the road. If I wreck my car due to this error in the make of Honda Civics I will sue Honda for not having a recall on something that is extremely dangerous for myself and all other drivers on the road.

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.

2007 Honda Civic ex coupe. Consumer states driver's side sun visor broke.

Cpsc# i1160082a 2007 Honda Civic ex coupe driver's side sunvisor broke off.

I own a 2007 Honda Civic si which has faulty sun visors. The visors appear to be made of two separate pieces which separate apart in the heat. Due to this separation, they do not "grip" the little arm which is connected to the ceiling; therefore, the visors cannot be pushed up to the ceiling. No-matter-what the visors drops down and returns to the position it would be to be used (for example, if the sun is in your eyes). . However it is a distraction and a complete nuisance to any driver. I am petite and it obstructs my view; however, if anyone else who is taller than me attempts to drive my vehicle they cannot see straight in front of them because the visor will not stay in place against the ceiling. . Obviously this is a major safety hazard. Moreover, the passenger visor separated last week and has the same faulty issue as the driver's side.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving the sun visor broke, which made it difficult to see during the day and in inclement weather. The manufacturer stated that the warranty expired and the failure should be diagnosed by the dealer. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The failure mileage was 26,000.

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 ambiant 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.

I purchased my 2007 Honda Civic new in December 2006. Since that time my driver's side overhead visor has broken and failed twice! once in June 2009 and again October 2010. This is unsafe for normal driving because the visor will not remain out of my field of vision when I drive. There is no way to adequately secure the visor out of the field of sight without totally replacing the part. The first time it was repaired by Honda for free because it was covered by warranty. Now my vehicle is out of warranty and the dealer wants to charge me nearly $100 to repair the visor. This happened under normal driving conditions and during normal use of the vehicle. I have never had a problem of this type with any other vehicle before! this is an obvious quality control manufacturing defect that continues to recur and Honda should take responsibility for the repair and replacement of the defective article on behalf of the consumer/customer. I believe this problem warrants investigation and follow up before a serious accident happens due to someone not effecting the repair in a reasonable amount of time due to the prohibitive cost placed on the shoulders of the consumer.

The sun visors (both drivers and passenger ) split at the top seams where they are glued together, making it impossible for visors to stay up; thus obscuring the vision of both the driver and passenger. This is the second time the passenger sun visor has been replaced for the same defect which is a manufacturing, design, and engineering defect. I was advised by several Honda employees that numerous sun visors are replaced on a weekly basis for the identical defect, just at one dealership. This is not a dealership issue but a Honda issue. It is to be noted that the sun visors were in no way abused or even used that much but the seams just split. I have been in law enforcement for over thirty years and can assure you that this defect not only affects the individuals in the Honda with the defective sun visors but other drivers and pedestrians as well, resulting from the obscured vision, I was advised that Honda is aware of the defect but continues to use the same sun visors in new vehicles and that they continue to fail by splitting at the seams there was no resulting accident, I was advised that the sun visors would have to be returned to Honda but I did photograph them and the photos are available. It is to be noted that the service department at the dealership was excellent and that Honda did replace them at a reduced cost even though the vehicle had approximately 51,000 miles on it and was out of warranty.

The driver side sun visor on my 2007 Honda Civic is defective. The plastic pieces that attach it to the mounting has melted due to the heat inside of the car and causes the visor to not be able to be put back into the upright position. Before it totally broke, it would fall down into my line of vision while driving, since it was not able to be folded back up properly due to the damaged parts. It now hangs partially in my line of vision since it no longer can be folded up properly. I have read countless similar complaints of this happening on other Honda Civics and it's a shame that Honda doesn't consider this a "safety hazard"!.

2007 Honda Civic drivers side sun visor cracked/popped apart causing an inability to push it up all the way, obscured view while driving; car is only 3 years old with ~29,000 miles on it; found it this way after it had been parked at the airport for 2. 5 days; called Honda America and was given a case number and then told I had 5 days to go to a Honda dealer to "diagnose" the problem and a case manager would call me but there was no guarantee they would do anything about this. . . . There are many complaints about this online and it's a safety hazard and there should be a recall.

Out of the blue my driver's side visor cracked and I am unable to keep it in the "up" position. It continues to fall down in my field of vision and it is very distracting while I drive.

2007 Honda Civic ex 4 door (120,000 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. Called american Honda and they will not replace or warranty the defective part.

Sun visors crack and break so that they are no longer secure and hang down obstructing the driver's vision. My driver side visor broke approximately 1 year ago and was replaced under warranty (with the same defectively designed visor). It has now broken again (out of warranty).

The driver's side sun visor on my 2007 Honda Civic ex melted on the inside and now will not remain in the up position, making it very difficult to see.

The visor on my 2007 Honda Civic broke and is now hanging down in my line of sight. This is extremely dangerous. I've done some research and found forums where many people are having the same issue. There should really be a recall because this issue can cause major accidents!.

Driver side factory installed (original equipment) visor of 2007 Honda Civic ex split apart and no longer remains in the fixed upright (flush with ceiling) position, but rather hangs down in views way. This issue occured spontaneously and without force or misuse of feature. This failure is permanent. Item will have to be replaced. Research easily found many similar experiences from other Honda Civic owners for this same defect. Honda is not claiming responsibility and not correcting the defect without charge. This is indeed a safety hazard.

2007 Honda Civic sun visor falls apart in sun.

Sun visor on 2007 Honda Civic fails again in the heat. Have purchased replacement visor just to have them fail again in a few months. When they fail at the hinges, it causes the visor to hang down in the line of site, if you remove it, then you don't have any protect from the sun shining in your eyes. Honda is very aware of this as there are 1,000's of posting and the dealers all acknowledge that it is an issue. Honda needs to come up with a recall and a visor design that works verses just doing nothing. . . It is a huge safety issue!!.

The driver's side visor cracked near where it is attached and will no longer stay up, so it falls down into my line of sight.

2007 Honda Civic sun visors break and will not stay up. Driver cannot see traffic lights without holding the sun visor up with his/her hand. Visor falls back down as soon as it is pushed up. This is a safety issue because the driver's vision is impaired. Driver's visor just broke, while passenger visor also broke a few months ago -- suggests the visors are defective. Car only has 45,000 miles on it.

Drivers side sun visor broken and dangles.

1. It has been a hot summer, and the car is parked in partial shade during the day. 2. The seam on the sunvisor at the arm has cracked open rendering the sunvisor ineffective. This is a safety issue because the sunvisor can only be moved while the car is stopped; it requires both hands and some time to move up or down. 3. It has not been fixed yet, but Honda said that they can replace the part for $60.
