I was driving on the interstate on a very cold morning, I was in the right lane, no one was even around me and all of a sudden I hear a load pop, I looked over & my passengers side, 'vent window' had shattered into a million pieces. It did stay in tact but Honda dealer says something must have hit it. I personally think the vent blowing the warm air on the cold window effected it. This may be a little window but it's not cheap to fix. I am wondering if there have been any other complaints regarding this. . .

The driver side visor in malfunctioning.

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.

Mirror/shade does not go up not down it is stuck unable to operate as a shade nor mirror.

I flipped the sun visor down and found I couldn't return it back up. The internal pivot clip broke the visor.

Sun visor on passenger side of car hangs down. It will not stay up in the unused position. This is the second Honda I have had with the same problem. Honda of America says it is out of warranty so they will not replace or repair the part. This is dangerous because the visor blocks visibility to the right of the vehicle. There are numerous examples of this same problem on the internet. Why is there no recall on this part? thank you.

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.

Sun visor split apart causing the visor to loosely stay in the line of sight of the driver. The mechanism that holds the visor up does not hold the visor up anymore because of the split. Looks like the heat of the interior of the car mixed with the plastic pieces of the visor caused the defect. Honda needs to not just replace the parts, they need to redesign the visors using different materials that will hold up to the extreme heat that car interiors have to face. Currently they are replacing the visors with the same defectively designed visors. They need to be forced to fix the problem, instead of treat the symptom! type in Honda sun visor defect in any search engine and you will see that this is a very common problem!.

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.

Drivers side sun visor split open and now droops into drivers vision.

After a hot day driving the car visor went down while about to make a rt hand turn I almost pulled out visor fell into my vision. Luck I stopped there was a car coming. It had split in half due to the heat.
