2007 honda civic visor is defective, splits, falls down and obstructs driver's view and can cause accident. Safety issue. Honda replaced once. Now failed again. Claims not under warranty-not a safety issue. What do I do with my 16 yr. Old daughter when this happens while she is driving? Please make this a recall. Otherwise, I'll be replacing twice a year forever. Thank you so much.

Sun visor on 2007 honda civic cracking (driver side).
I pulled down the sun visor on the passenger side and a few seconds later my husband pulled down his drivers side)visor in our 2007 honda civic lx and they both cracked and wouldn't go back up. This obstructed our view and made it difficult for him to see the road while driving and posing a safety hazard.
Broken driver's side sun visor on a 2007 honda civic. Many people are experiencing this problem. The broken sun visor will not stay up and causes a safety hazard by limiting the drivers vision of the road. Please get honda to recall and redesign these visors, they are terrible and break repeatedly.
I have now owned this vehicle for two years and in that time I have had to have the passenger side sun visor replaced twice to date and today, am taking my car in once again for the driver side sun visor to be repaired for the third time. Needlessly to say at this point I am getting quite aggravated with this particular problem. Every time one of the visor's break it causes a vision issue for me while I am driving; I commute to work 45 minutes one way I am told the glue holding the visor in our 100+ degree temperature does not hold. Each time it is repaired but does not last.
Both driver and passenger sun visors in honda civic 2007 model cracking and falling apart. Hangs and does not go up in the stow position easily without wanting to pop off. Blocks driver's view and can no longer do a good job of blocking the sun out of the field of view. This situation can easily lead to a dangerous driving condition. I've reported the problem to honda USA and they are not making a recall or a redesign on this part. So the broken/cracked sun visors are being replaced by new parts that are designed to fail in the future.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the driver's side sun visor failed to remain in an elevated secured position.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they replaced the sun visor. The failure mileage was 7,500 and current mileage was 8,000. Updated 08/28/09 *bf updated 08/31/09.
The driver side sunvisor on my 2007 honda civic sedan cracked so it no longer stays up, thus creating a safety hazard. This is the first summer where I've parked my car outside during the day so I believe the part failing is heat related.
I have a 2007 honda civic lx. Hot day, opened the car door and sat down and noticed my sun visor flapped down and busted. Looked online to see if this was a common problem and view hundreds of complaints and the pictures of what happened to my case. Buerkle honda in minnesota wants to charge me 125.00 to fix a problem that was not my fault and is obviously a common problem that they are ignoring.
2007 honda civic si sun visor separation and hangs in the field of vision. There is a defect in the manufacturing or design of the sun visors of honda civics. The unit breaks apart without warning and will no loger be able to retract out of the drivers field of vision. I repaired the driver's side under warranty, and now the passenger side has become a problem, and hangs straight down with no ability to adjust the position. I have reviewed several sites on the internet to conclude that this is not an isolated error, but a continuing defect.
2007 honda civic sun visor breaks and hangs down blocking drivers vision.
2007 honda civic visors (drivers and passenger sides) break when it gets hot and they flop down unexpectedly interfering with the drivers line of sight. This is the car my daughter drives and I am very concerned about the problem because honda is doing nothing to fix the problem. I live in arizona and the visor can't take the heat. I have had both visors replaced 3 times and they are broken again. Aside from the obvious inconvenience, I truly believe this is a safety issue yet the keep putting in the same defective visors.
A sudden collapse of the rear window the rear window collapsed upon itself for no apparent reason, filling the back seat with sharp shards of glass. The car was parked in the driveway, the day was clear and bright, and I was standing right behind the car when the rear window started to collapse upon itself. I shudder to think what would have happened to a baby restrained in the back seat if such a glass shower landed on it while driving. I had the rear window replaced at my own cost. My efforts to have the manufacturer reimburse me under the car warranty failed.
At less than 50k miles on my 2007 honda civic ex my windshield wipers started acting erratic. They would not respond to the control, as in they would not turn off when turned to the off position, the delay function was not working, and would not turn on sometimes. When this happened there were times when I could not see due to rain, and the wipers not working properly, and also when I could not clean the dirt, salt and other road gunk off the windshield because they would not work. I took the car into the dealership where they charged me hundred of dollars to replace the windshield wiper motor assembly, when this was obviously a defective part to begin with.
Hello, I bought the 2007 honda civic brand new. The sun visors on both sides busted within 2 months. There was no unusual pressure or use. Given the numbered complaints. I thought this should be escalated. We must have honda resolve the issue definitively and quickly. Both for the ongoing safety and the inexplicable residual cost to the consumer. Please let me know what our rights and recourse are. Please reference this internet link in regards to the extend of the problem.

The visor on the driver side in 2007 honda civic lx model is made of cheap plastic and cracks open if you happen to pull it down and put it back up frequently. Once it cracks open it will not stay up again and hangs loose down obstructing the driver's view. It hangs down and very annoying while driving as front view is obstructed because of loose hanging visor. My car is just one and half year old and it has already cracked open twice. Last time when the dealer replaced it since it is under warranty it cracked open in just couple months. If this problem is not fixed it will become a safety hazard as people can not go on buying and replacing the visor every month and in the absence may get involved in car accidents due to vision getting blocked with visor.
We own a 2007 honda civic dx which has had a chronic problem with the driver's side sun visor failing twice before and, now, both the driver's side and passenger's side sun visors have failed. Each time a honda dealer has replaced the defective part. The safety issue is that, with the driver's side malfunctioning, the driver has to hold the visor out of his / her line of site leaving only one hand to drive the car. The manufacturer has been contacted and has said it will replace the defective part as it occurs, however, this part should be examined and re-engineered to give consistent, safe service.
(1) recurrent (2) driver-side visor defect rendering it inoperable. Due for another replacement on july 7, 2008 2) power steering leaks (2). Due for another repair/replacement on july 7, 2008.
Driver side window malfunction on 2007 honda civic hybrid.
The windshield wipers on my 2007 civic have been replaced 4 times since the purchase of the car in october of 2006. The wipers streak so badly that I cannot see out of the windshield safely. Upon taking the car back to the dealer, they admit that there is a problem that they have experienced with other vehicles, but that the new wipers are only a temporary fix. They have used several different compounds on the windshield to attempt to "erase" whatever problems are causing this issue. They have used a "clay" that is used in body shops to "scrub" down the window. This works momentarily. There is a bigger issue that honda is not yet addressing. They claim that it is the elements which are responsible for this problem. I refuse to agree with this as this is my 5th new vehicle, and the other 4 had wipers that worked perfectly for over 2 years before needing to be replaced. I am severely annoyed that I've had to keep returning to the dealership and I am still getting no real solution.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The driver and passenger side visors were flipped down. When he attempted to flip the visors up he noticed they were stuck. The dealer replaced the visors but stated that the failure would happen again. The failure mileage was 4,200. The current mileage was 5,300.
When engine is warm and car is at idle (either when stopped at traffic light or when parking before shutdown) and you open/close sun roof and/or power windows the rpms dip, car shakes, and engine almost stalls before rpms recover to normal idle. This has happened at least two dozen times and started happening soon after taking delivery. At approx 400 miles car was taken into dealer and dealer was able to reproduce the problem on my vehicle and also reproduced the problem on other new civics on dealer lot. Dealer reset PCM and performed idle relearn procedure. This did not resolve the problem. Dealer reported to honda engineering and they had no knowledge of issue and offered no advice. Additionally at approx 600 miles after car sat unused all day and when attempting to start later that night, the car did not start on first attempt. On second attempt and after cranking longer than usual for startup, the car started roughly with a jolt and ran rough (car shaking) for 3-5 seconds.
