The driver side visor has flopped down and has needed to be replaced twice. It is very difficult to repair this yourself and I have had to do it twice. This is ridiculous. It’s a safety hazard because it won’t stay up in position and it won’t go towards the windshield either. I initially replaced this four years ago.

- What is wrong
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Honda Accord Hybrid vehicles manufactured August 29, 2013, to May 30, 2015. Electrical interference may cause the hybrid system to switch into fail-safe mode, disabling the gasoline engine, limiting the vehicle's speed to 40 miles per hour and functioning only on battery power. Once the battery is discharged, the vehicle will stall.
- Risk
- A vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash.
