2007 honda civic defect with the sun visors. *kb the consumer stated the plastic that holds the visor to the curved bar attached to the roof seemed to be split because of a design flaw. The design flaw, allowed the sun visors to move freely and not stay in place in the up position and they moved freely about to the right and left in the down position.
The driver's side sun visor on my 2007 honda civic ex 2 door suddenly burst open, it will not go in the up position now. It is a hazard with night driving since it won't go up. This should be a safety recall.
Sun visors for honda civic 2007 coupe crack (both passenger and driver side).
1. Nothing happened to lead up to it. It just broke. 2. Driver side sun visor split and won't stay up. It is safety issue when driving as it's always falling down and constantly taking my attention away from the road to try and get it to stay up or to the side. 3. Tried to find a used one, but no luck. Honda wants me to pay to replace it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated the driver side sun visor would not remain secure in an upward position. The contact stated the defective sun visor obstructed the visibility. The sun visor was detached from the support mount. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired at the time of the complaint.

I own a 2007 honda civic that was bought new in july 2007. In august 2007 the driver's side sun visor came apart and was hanging down making it hard to see when driving. Since the car was still under warranty the dealer replaced it for free. At the time they had told us they replaced numerous visors. Now it's august 2010 and it's broken again. The car is now out of warranty and the dealer will not replace the visor for this reason. This is a safety concern because when it comes apart it hangs straight down and can't be pushed up to stay. I have read online forums where numerous people are having problems with this issue. When I called the honda dealer where I live now in tennessee they said they have replaced a 'ton" of the visors. Obviously honda has an issue with this and it needs to be recalled.
Sun visor on driver's side splits open causing it to sag and block the drivers view. There is no way to make it stay up.
2007 honda civic sunvisors break - repeatedly, and hang in view of driver. I have had driver and passenger visor break and understand it is a defect that honda does not recognize or support. Honda dealer admits that nearly all honda civics have had this problem.
Sunvisor on passenger side has split and will not stay up. This is annoying and a safety hazard. The drivers side did the same thing while car was still under warranty therefore honda replaced it for free. This is an ongoing problem for many people I don't understand why honda has not given this issue some attention in redesigning. I guess its a good money maker because the cost is not cheap. This is something you would never think you would have to replace on a car.

Honda civic 2007 visor pops open and does not grab. Visor floats down into field of vision. Honda not issuing recall they don't believe it is a safety issue. Maybe a lawyer will convince them.
Passenger sun visor cracked due to heat and will not stay in up position or correct slanted position for correct visibility. Appears to be a common problem on google blog sites where honda is aware of the problem but is ignoring the issue (I.e., replacement part is the same defective part that fails again).
The sun visors in my 2007 honda civic are defective. The plastic inside the visor weakens and breaks in the heat, and the visor no longer stays in place. It can drop into the driver's line of vision at any time, posing a hazard for visibility when driving. It can no longer be used to block the sun, so visibility is reduced when driving into the sun as well.

There is a design flaw with 2007 honda civics, which is a potential safety issue. The sun visors split in hot weather, which causes them to no longer be adjustable to block the sun while driving.
I have a 2007 honda civic ex. The drivers side sun visor has split along the hinge line and will not stay in the up position. This blocks my view of the road at unwanted times and has caused me to have instances of blind vision to traffic around me.
2007 honda civic lx coupe has defective sun visors. At first visor very loose. Over time visor would not stay up. This hinders driving and being able to see the traffic signals. Now the entire visor has come off as it won't stay on its hinge. Now I drive in the morning facing the sun and drive home facing the sun. Very difficult to see traffic in front of you with the sun in your face. Honda agrees I can get a replacement at my expense but I understand this is a flaw with many honda civic owners.
Driver side sun visor split at the top seam and continues to drop in sight of the windshield. Brought it to honda and they said it would cost $110 + labor.
My driver side sun visor in my 2007 honda civic ex suddenly fell from the stored position and wouldn't go back up in place. I was merging onto the interstate when this happened and it came down directly into my line of site and I couldn't see for a moment. My fiance's sister has the same car and it happened to her also. Took it to the dealership and asked for a replacement and the service guy said it is a known defect and honda told them not to replace them for free anymore. This to me is a serious safety concern. If you look it up on the internet many people have had the same issue with this. Honda knows it is a problem or they wouldn't have redesigned a replacement for it.
2007 honda civic sun visor fails at the seam and blocks the driver's view. This has happened 8-9 timnes sinec I purchased honda in 2007. Each time the dealer replaces it, but it takes time and is dangerous until it is replaced. Can't honda's engineers design a visor?
The sun visor cracked a few months ago and will not return to the upright position. I have seen several websites where this seems to be a manufacturing defect for several model years that honda has not chosen to respond to. It is not a visibility issue for me, I am under 5'4" but it does affect the line of vision for my boyfriend who is 6'.
2007 honda civic ex sunvisor broke and it now limits visability.
Our 2007 honda civic sun visor has broken twice. The first time was only a month or so after purchasing brand new from the dealer. When the sun visor breaks, it dangles in front of the driver's view. Whether in the front or pushed to the side, the broken sun visor tilts down and dangles in a distracting way which is dangerous for the driver of the civic. The sun visor was very poorly designed by honda. Structurally speaking, the torsional resistance required to rotate the visor from the up position to the down position wasn't correctly designed for. The result is that the internal plastic clamps that are supposed to resist all forces from the internally rotating metal arm, fail and after these plastic clamps internally get torn apart, the sun visor dangles oddly in front of the driver and causes a dangerous distraction. This poorly designed sun visor fails very easily under normal use, and gives no warning of distress, before failing suddenly. This sun visor should be recalled and replaced with a correctly designed sun visor that won't brake and cause this safety issue.
Honda civic models 2006 and 2007 have defective sun visors. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reported cases online. Twice in the past 14 months, I have been driving when my sun visor unexpectedly split at the seam and suddenly fell into my line of sight. Both times I was startled and my vision was obstructed while operating the car at speeds exceeding 60 MPH. Fortunately, I was able to avoid an accident both times. I am on my 3rd visor, but feel uneasy behind the wheel, worried it will happen again. Additionally, when waiting for a service appointment, I am forced to drive without a functional visor, and have been temporarily blinded by the sun on more than one occasion. I called honda and spoke with "morris" who readily admitted that this is a common complaint that they receive, but honda was unwilling to do anything on my behalf since my car is no longer under warranty. I still have the last faulty sun visor.
Putting down my sun visor caused something to crack, and now it will not go up and it is constantly blurring my vision and I have to tape it to the roof of my car. Nothing has been done to fix it. This is a common occurrence with the vehicle in question.
Driver side and passenger side visors fell apart almost like they melted. I don't think they fixed it the first time I brought it in. Now they are saying it isn't covered under warranty. They knew the visor design was flawed. Now I can't move either visors from my view.
2007 honda civic driver's side visor split open just a few months after it was purchased in may 2007. Dealer could not replace right away because visors were on back order because so many had failed. Since that time I have made sure visor was never left in the down position, however the visor split open again while in the up position. I was only out of the car for 30 minutes. The mileage is 53000, so it is no longer under warranty. This appears to be a manufacturers defect, especially seeing how many others have had the same experience. Can honda not be made to replace or redesign these visors.
2007 honda civic driver side sun visor keeps breaking I have gone through two already and honda will not replace it for me.
