2007 Honda Civic visibility complaints

There were no signs that my daughter's driver's side sun visor, while driving, was going to break, and hang down in front of her eyes, blocking her view of the road. If this is not a safety issue, then what is? After searching the web and noticing the increasing number of complaints related to this issue, and calling my local dealer, only to be told that, since my warranty had expired, I would be responsible for honda's problem. I knew I had to do something to not only protect my daughter, but also protect other consumers experiencing the same problem. If you're reading this, please take the time to file a complaint with honda USA at 1‑800‑999‑1009 and dot's, the federal safety agency at 1‑888‑327‑4236. The only way, we as consumers, are going to be able to make honda do anything to correct their problem, is to file a complaint with the proper regulatory agency. It upsets me, to know, that honda, knowing they have a defective part, will not look out for the safety of their customers, and step up to the plate, and correct this problem they created. My local dealer told me that since my warranty had expired, it would cost me $100.00 to replace the sun visor. I informed him that I will make a call to the above-listed numbers, and we will proceed from there. Please make the calls if you're experiencing this problem. Do not allow honda to get away with, not only a safety issue, but also making us pay for their defective product. This could have been a dangerous situation. Make sure you select "visibility", under the components name, located on the vehicle information page, of this complaint form.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 60 MPH, the contact noticed that the driver side sun visor suddenly broke and had obstructed his view. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired when the complaint was filed. The current and failure mileages were approximately 49,000.
I own a 2007 honda civic with 40,000 miles on it. The sunvisors on this vehicle are complete junk. I already had the oem sunvisors replaced, and now the replacements have broken in exactly the same way. The honda dealer attempted to tell me that it was my fault the visors had broken, when it is extremely obvious that in fact they melt every time the temperature goes over 90 in my area. I have found numerous complaints of this exact same issue online and would like to let you know that it is not just a problem in the southwest. Having a sunvisor flop into your eyes/line of vision or not being able to properly block sun from your vision are both safety issues. It is completely irresponsible of honda not to replace something as inexpensive as a sunvisor at their own expense.
I purchased a 2007 honda civic in late may 2007. In sept 2008, the sun visor on the driver's side broke. When I contacted honda they stated that this problem always occurs in warm climates. The sun visor will malfunction in warm climates and it is clear that this is a problem on a large scale that should be corrected by honda. I contacted honda and they said until the federal safety agency officially recalls the visors, they are under no obligation to do so. Early this month in may, the passenger sun visor broke inthe same manner. Honda is currently stating that they cannot cover this under warranty because the car has exceed its mileage limit of 36,000 miles. However, this equipment failure is not related to mileage but in fact they have acknowledged that the part in the sun visor will break in all warm climates.
Passenger side visor failed. The visor cracks and is no longer connected to the rod. This is the second time it has happened. The failure is due to heat from the sun.
Driving along at 65 MPH on the freeway and the driver's side sun visor split open at the "glued" seam and it fell down in my lap, nearly causing me to have a serious accident as it obscured my vision and certainly startled me. There are hundreds if not thousands of complaints about the sun visors on civic's model years 2006-08 all over the internet.
Driver's side visor cracked and fell apart. Visor will not fall suddenly and obstruct my view.
While trying to put my sun visor down I heard something crack, and after that the visor will not stay closed any more. It also happened on the passenger side 2 weeks ago.
While driving my 2007 honda civic coupe at approximately 70 MPH on highway 67 south near newport, ar, my rear window flew off the car. Luckily, there were no cars behind me at the time. After some quick research, there were a number of complaints regarding this happening on the 2006 honda civic coupe. It appears that there is little to no adhesive where the rear window used to be. I talked to honda and they said that they would not cover the cost to replace the window because my car has 43k miles on it.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the drivers side sun visors fractured and would not stay in the upright position, causing obstruction to the drivers view of the road. The sun visor was repaired by the dealer. The contact stated that the manufacturer should issue a recall due to the amount of sun visor complaints regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.
I have purchased the brand new march 2007 honda civic on may 2007. The driver's side sun visor is broken and does not remain in up position nor remain on the side. This is a driving hazard as it blocks and obstructs the driver's view, and will hit the driver with vehicle movement. It causes a huge issue with visibility on the road. Not so much during the day but very much at night to the point where it is extremely annoying to drive with it at night. It is under warranty for three years but car driven more then 30,000 miles. When I go to schaumburg honda they said it is never covered under warranty because it is wear & tear. I also have bumper to bumper warranty even though they did not care to verify warranty and quoted me parts $65.00 and installation charge $36.00. This is given in writing by dealer on 02/16/2010.
I own a honda civic 4 dr auto transmission, and have issues with poor quality sun visors. The sun visors break apart every summer I have owned vehicle for three years and changed the sun visor atleast thrice till now for no cost. But now I being charged since warranty is over. Why do I have to pay for known quality issue?
Windshield wiper does not park itself in the right position when turning off. While driving, sometimes the windshield wiper will stop in the middle of the windshield thus blocking portions of my view. This occurs on several occasions when the outside temperature is below 40 degrees f and raining/snowing. When the wiper fail to park itself in the correct position, it blocks driver's view and could cause an accident. Issue occurred a few times on highway travel and partially block my view of a lane barrier. Brought to dealership and dealership could not reproduce problem.
My wife's hybrid honda civic (2007) while driving, if you open the two back windows, you get this loud whipping of wind sound thru out the car, its an aerodynamics flaw I believe. In any case its annoying to the point where you must roll the windows back up.
When the windshield wipers are turned off, they intermittently do not stop (park) at the correct location at the bottom of the windshield or they continue to run.
Sun visor attachment fails (the visor splits apart) and falls into line of sight. The visor will not stay up. Replacement visors do the same thing. I have had the visor replaced 3 times.
I took my honda civic lx to get water leaks around the windshield repaired. The mechanic told me I'd be called back to get the entire windshield replaced, however, despite continuous follow up with the dealerships service department they have not done anything to repair my windshield. The latest news I received with run-around calls is that the dealer has to make an appointment with another vendor. I am very worried for my safety. I drive on the highway on a daily basis. Can you help me get this resolved? I've been dealing with pompano beach honda, 5381 north federal highway, pompano beach, fl 33064.
Driver and passenger side sun visor on our 2007 honda sedan exploded and flopped down in our face, which creates a hazard when driving.
2007 honda civic, both sun visors have had to be replaced. I have purchased the care brand new march 2007 - and this will be the 4th time getting these replaced, I have called honda's 800 number twice and they just keep telling me I am under warranty. Well, what happens if the thing breaks again while I am driving and get into an accident? This is an issue and I have to drive 60 miles round trip every time I need these replaced. I think honda should look into these visors - this is a safety issue - I live in fl and use my visors everyday. I should not have to have them replaced 4 times within 2 years!
I own a 2007 honda civic, I have replaced 2 sun visors so far and today the driver side broke and the passengers is about to fail due to the noise it makes, I saw the very problems on u-tubes, that is my problem. I have to remove it because it keeps falling down blocking my view but have no protection from sun glare which could cause an accident which almost happened last year when it failed, I am out of warranty and it is ridiculous I have to replace the sun-visor every year.
2007 honda civic ex sun visor broken where it attaches to the ceiling of the car. My car is still under warranty and I have had both sun visors replaced a total of 4 times. After it breaks, I have had to have it replaced immediately because it causes a huge issue with visibility on the road. Not so much during the day but very much at night to the point where it is extremely annoying to drive with it at night.
The driver's side sun visor is broken and does not remain in up position nor remain on the side. This is a driving hazard as it blocks and obstructs the driver's view, and will hit the driver with vehicle movement.
Honda civic sun visors, split, break and lose their ability to stay fixed while driving. I'm in need in replacing my 3rd sun visor. The visors on the honda civic drops and obstructs a clear view when driving and is a major safety concern. Honda dealers tell consumers that it's due to heat in the area where I live, but there are many websites listing complaints from with other honda owners who live in an areas with cooler temperatures. Regardless of where one resides, I am uncomfortable driving my car with fear that the visor will drop without warning, startle me and obstruct my view. How does one get through to the honda manufacturer that this is a major problem that must be resolved, not just replaced at the owner's expense.
8th generation honda civic models have a common problem of sun visor hinge failures that cause the visor to always stay in the down position. This is not so much of a problem during the day, but it severely limits the sight of the driver at night. This is a problem with all 8th gen civics, but honda refuses to cover the repair, or to recall the visor.
The sun visor is broken in my 2007 honda civic ex. When it first happened, I was able to muscle it up into the proper closed position, but since I park in the sun, and need to use a sun shade, I need to put down the sun shade, then muscle it back into the closed position again. This morning as I put down the shade, I heard a loud cracking sound, and saw that the shade is falling apart now, with broken pieces of plastic now falling out of the shade. This is a design flaw that several others have reported. I have a 100 mile commute to work, so the car was long out of warranty when this first happened, based on mileage, and I can't afford to have this repaired at my cost, so I will have to attempt to repair it myself, as there has been no recall initiated by honda for this extremely common issue.
My 2006 civic hybrid sedan has had 4 sets of sun visors put in it while under warranty. The sun visors break internally and will not go all the way up or down. When this happens the visors hang down about three inches from the front roof line right in the drivers field of view. When trying to place the visor all the way forward it does the same thing and hangs about three inches down in the drivers field of view. My sun visor failures all happened during the summer and the manufacturer has not offered a fix for this part.
Broken sun visors impeding drivers and passengers view. Lack of movement of internal breaking mechanism causes visor to crack and separate.
Faulty sun visor on drivers side ... Has broke twice ... Visor can not be moved so always hanging straight down ... Can not see street lights ... Have to slide down in the street to see stop signs, etc.
I have a 2007 honda civic lx sedan. The sun visor on both the driver and passenger side has split into two and broken off it's support. I am very concerned about the safety of this vehicle while driving it in this condition. It should be recalled at the manufactures expense!
