1 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2016

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Civic. While driving various speeds, the sun visor would not remain in place and fell continuously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the inner part was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

2 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2012

The sun visor has split open and will not stay in place up against the head liner creating a visual obstruction. I have read about a class action suit related to visors that includes the 2009 Civic, but not the 2010 model.

3 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2011

The sun visor on my 2010 Civic is broken. The glue holding together the plastic molding and the fabric within the visor has deteriorated which makes the visor not able to close properly and continuously fall down. I have found info online that there was a class action lawsuit against Honda in 2011 for most Civics between 2006-2009 however since mine is a 2010 it does not fall into that category. Yet is does seem as though the issue was not fixed properly. I have spoken with the attorney who handled the suit against Honda and it was suggested I file a complaint here to get the word out that the issue still exists so hopefully we can expand the class within the lawsuit.

4 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2011

Driver side and passenger side sun visors are in the down position and have lost their mechanical ability to be placed in its resting position against the headliner. The driver side sun visor in its down position is a safety hazard for the driver because visibility is limited. With limited visibility while driving, this poses a serious danger for the driver while operating the motor vehicle.

5 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 04/14/2011

The night light needs to be turn on and is so dim that you need the high beam light to drive at night which is just plain blinding for the person in front/ or coming towards me.

6 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2010

Drivers side sun visor is defective and obstructs view of the road. It will not stay up or fully extended into the window.

7 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 04/14/2010

Driver's side visor broke and now falls unexpectedly while driving causing a distraction and reduced frontal visibility. This seems to be frequent problem with Civics when researched on-line.
