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.

Paint is peeling on car big areas on roof and car is only 5 yrs old, sunvisor broke into pieces and they wouldn't replace it even though it had a recall on it, and engine mount broke also.
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..
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.
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.
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.
Cpsc# i1160082a 2007 honda civic ex coupe driver's side sunvisor broke off.
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.
Drivers side visor fails to return to "up" position hangs down.
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.
Defective sunvisors- fall into line of sight. Broke at approx 40,000 miles. First the driver side and about a week later the passenger side. No longer able to keep them out of the way.
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.
Sun visors split in half. Once the visors are split, they will not hold a "tucked up" position, but rather will hang down and obstruct the driver's vision. The problem is chronic and there is now a class action lawsuit that has forced the vehicle manufacturer to extend the warranty on the sun visors. However, the broken visors are being replaced by another visor with the same design defect. After a brief period of use, the new sun visor also fails. The vehicle manufacturer needs to create a new design without the flaw and replace the old design with the new design at the manufacturer's expense.
I am a resident of charleston sc and it gets fairly hot here with summer month temperatures. I have a 2007 honda civic and the sun visors ( both of them) have melted , cracked and broken from my car getting warmer inside while sitting.the visors hang in the line of view for myself and passengers of my vehicle. I feel that this car is fairly new,and a safety issue like this should not be happening this is pretty common occurrence after researching this.
Sun visor in 2007 lx civic coupe failed in hot weather. The plastic melted and spring broke through so that it does not function and partially obstructs view. Replaced the visor the first time in 2008, and the new one broke again in 2009. The part is not under warranty by honda.
2007 honda civic ex coupe. Consumer states driver's side sun visor broke
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 ambient 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.
The sun visor in my 2007 two door honda has broken and will not stay in place. It gets in the way of my vision and distracts me when trying to drive. The design flaw of the visors in this car is major. It will not stay up and falls down in front of my face. A few times it has caused such a distraction I almost ran off the road trying to keep it out of my face. This occurs every day and I have to move it to the side which bothers me. Nothing has been done to correct this failure. I am not paying $100 for a replacement which will only end up failing anyways. Honda needs to own up and make a recall so that this design flaw does not cause crashes or any deaths due to the major distraction it creates to the drivers.
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.
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.
I have a 2007 honda civic, and the driver's side sun visor hinge is defective. It broke, and the visor is no longer adjustable -- it just hangs straight down. Judging from the number of complains being registered elsewhere online, this is a very common problem. It is also a safety concern, as I am now blinded by the sun or have the visor blocking my field of vision. I will contact honda to request a free replacement, but as my car is out of warranty, I will probably have to buy a new one.
