Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. At various times and in various conditions, the reflective coating on the vehicle's rearview mirror peeled off and continued to peel off. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at any speed, the windshield wiper switch was activated and the windshield wipers stopped in the middle of the windshield and obstructed the contact's visibility. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The issue recurred numerous times. The dealer informed the contact of the federal safety agency campaign number: 08v169000 (visibility); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving, the passenger side visor fell down and obstructed the contact's view. The dealer diagnosed that the visor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.
The driver side sun visor fell apart. This started about a year ago. It started off being annoying. We had to manually hold the visor together to put it up or down. It finally broke apart and can't even be put back on.
Wipers do not park when turned off after use in the appropriate spot. They continue to run for several more cycles until they park in the middle of the windshild. This causes a view obstruction while driving and ultimately distracts the driver. The wipers have to be tunred on and off numerous times so that the wipers end up in the correct position at the bottom of the windshield. Also the continuous running of the wipers when the window is dry results in frequent replacement of the wiper blades in order to prevent scratching on the windshield by the worn out rubber insert. I believe this is caused by the wiper motor malfunctioning.
My wipers won't park in the "park location" (they stay in the middle of windshield) and when I press the switch upwards for one swipe, the wipers will continue for multiple cycles and then finally stop in a random spot on the windshield. Occasionally, all three speeds on the switch(hi,med,low), are all the same (low speed). Happens while driving or stationary. Has become a nuisance in very light rain because it will continue once the windshield is dry and can be a potentially dangerous visibility issue for the driver.
Wipers will not park in correct spot blocking visibility, also will not stop and can continue going for minutes on end after being switched off. This is very distracting to my driving. Feel honda should own up to this issue since it is a common problem on many of their vehicles.
The wiper motor or wiper control module is known to stop working correctly on 2007 honda civic. When the temperature lowers during winter the wipers do not seat correctly and sometimes will not turn off after being used. They will sometimes stop in the middle of the windshield blocking the drivers view until they are moved again. There is no way to make sure that the wipers stop in the correct parked spot. This causes the driver to continue to activate the wipers until they are clear of the field of view. The causes extra wear and tear on the wiper blades, causing the owner of the vehicle to have to purchase more wiper blades than needed. Living in washington state, where it rains quiet a bit, this makes me have to spend extra money on wiper blades. Honda has not issued a recall on the wiper motor. Their suggestion is to have the wiper motor replaced, which I have done once already in the winter of 2013. As of this winter, 2015-2016, the wipers have began to not park correctly after being used again, again blocking the drivers field of view while driving. It would take a short internet search to see that my vehicle is not the only one to have this problem. Honda has already said they will not issue a recall, but I believe this to be a safety issue with my vehicle and other similar models. This safety issue happens all all times with the vehicle, whether it's at slow or highway speeds.
On my 2007 civic ex, the driver side visor popped open at the parting line near the hinge and the plastic ribs inside broke. It does not want to snap back into place in any direction (front, back, or side). It hangs so low that it is blocking the view of the road (front windshield and driver side window) at all times. I am very disappointed with honda that it is not listed as a safety concern...because it is.
The wiper blades on the front windshield will not stop running even after turning the switch to off. If they do decide to stop running, they stop at various points and often stops in the middle of my view making it hard to see around them. The intermittent setting also will change from working to not working (constantly running) following the same stopping issues. I've researched this online and it seems to be a very common issue. Here is an example: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/130742-intermittent-wiper-problem.html
The motor of the wiper blades would only work randomly. Even when it was turned off they would not stop. When they did stop they would not be in the right spots. Sometimes they would stop in the middle of the windshield.
I was driving down the road carefully because I take this road almost everyday. This road has been damaged for a long time now and hasn't been fixed yet. All of a sudden my car hits a huge pot hole, it couldn't have been seen due to how dark this road is at night. Both wheels on the left side popped and my front windshield crack in the middle due to the hard impact.
The intermittent wipers stop unexpectedly anywhere on the windshield. The problem persists.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the front driver side window fractured within the track of the door and was not able to close. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
While driving my windshield wipers would not turn off. Then when they finally did shut off they were parked in the middle of my windshield. They also have turned on randomly while driving. This happened all week and it's been raining. I took it to the honda dealership today and they had to replace the wiper motor which cost $400. After researching online this seems to be a common issue with honda civics and it should be made into a recall as it's unsafe.
Driver's window moves up and down. I put window up, and it comes down by itself. Minor issue is clearcoat paint peeling off of bumper.
Sunvisors: the sun visors on this car fell apart without any damage to them. Either the visor completely fell out or the visor will not stay up causing an obstruction/distraction while driving. There has been a recall on the 2008 models; however, there are problems with this year as well.
Windshield wipers just stop in the middle of the windshield when using intermittent setting. Very dangerous when using wipers when driving on highway and wipers just stop working.
I went to stow my driver-side sun visor, it split in half and remained about 1" from stowing flat. It then kept deploy an additional 2 to 3 inches resulting in a significant distraction. I went to the internet to see about buying a new one and noticed a recall was in place for this item. I called my honda dealer and he confirmed there was a recall that applied to some 2007 honda civics but that my VIN wasn't part of the recall -- despite the fact that it failed in the same way that the recall described.
The driver's side sun visor dropped down, blocking me vision (I'm 6'1). It seems to be broken, for no apparent reason and won't go back inplace.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the sun visor became fractured and it impaired her vision. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised her that the sun visor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000. The current mileage was 87,894.
When pressing for the wipers to run once, it runs multiple times, and other times, they stop when on the intermittent, low, or high settings. Also when turning off or when they randomly stop they do not stop at the correct position on the window.
It doesnt stop at correct position and at times keeps going even pressing once... Expecially on snow or rainy day its stops in the middle of driving view and I have to keep pressing off and on distracting my ability to drive safely!!! Please recall thanks! Http://youtu.be/jnywyaxxg8w.
Sun visor falls during driving limiting visibility, especially when getting to an intersection and the traffic light can't be seen. It is a safety an hazardous problem.
I was driving on the interstate around 9:30pm - 10:00pm in the rain. I had my wipers on, which were working fine for approximately the first 15 minutes of my 40 minute drive. After approximately 15 minutes, the wiper blades occasionally stopped resting at the bottom of the windshield while on intermittent, but would rest slightly higher. They would also wipe the windshield between 3-5 times in a row, when the intermittent was set to wipe once every few seconds. I tried turning the intermittent off and would manually push the wiper bar in the car when needing my windshield cleared, to see if that worked better. I received the same results, with the wiper blades not resting at the bottom of the windshield, and the blades wiping 3-5 times in a row with only one push. About a week later, it rained again, and I experience the same thing as described above, except it happened more frequently than the first time. I was driving in town the second time, instead of the interstate.
This has been an ongoing annoying issue. My wipers do not stop in the correct off position. Instead, they'll freeze in various positions on windshield. They also do not wipe at the chosen speed. The functionality is completely abnormal! This needs to be a recall. As I do more research, I see more and more posts about this issue. I'm truly shocked that it's not a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while parked, he lowered the front driver's side sun visor when it suddenly fractured. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
The visor cracked open and would not close or stay up, and falls into the vision of driver/passenger, causing visual impairment. The first time happened on the passenger side and was under warranty and replaced on 09/23/2008 at 17534 miles. The second time on the drivers side was replaced on 07/02/2009 on 24484 miles. The third time happened again to the passenger side, and was not replaced, around 35,000 miles. Now it is happening again to the drivers side, at 53,000 miles, again has not been replaced.
Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnywyaxxg8w&feature=youtu.be it should be posted as a massive recall!... This is so dangerous...I was just in the sandy hurricane and I was having issue with my wiper not properly working it stops in the middle of my view??? Please is there a recall if not we need to let them know of this!!! Https://twitter.com/xghostyxjokerx/status/262999908318052353.
