Drivers sun visor on 2008 civic ex coupe suddenly swings down creating hazard especially at night. This visor is useless and refuse to remain up. It appears several plastic pieces inside the visor are popped out making impossible to function correctly. This seems to be a consistent problem with 2008 civics. At my scheduled service I plan on talking to the dealer about problem and correction.

Sun visors on 2008 honda civic exl malfunction. Within a couple of months after purchasing the car- the sun visors started to malfunction. Seemed to be caused by interior heat in the vehicle. They (both left and right) finally failed to where once they were in the down position you could not putt them back in the stow position with out using two hands - need not say much about the safety hazard here and with following. Also, from stow position they keep falling down on their own accord. Contacted the dealer - since the car was under warranty they replaced them. I told the dealer that it was a design flaw probably caused by expanding plastic parts due to heat. Told the dealer that the new replacement would probably do the same thing with time and honda corp should be notified. Not sure they notified honda of the potential problem or safety concern.
Both sun visors on my 2008 honda civic ex sedan swing down suddenly and unexpectedly. This abrupt malfunction blocks view of both the road and the rear view mirror, creating an extremely hazardous driving situation. When they swing down, efforts to return them to the ?up? (never have been deployed) position are completely useless. Both swing down again and refuse to remain up and out of the way. The visors are made up of several plastic panels. At least one of the panels in each visor seems to have warped due to normal summer temperatures. It appears that deformation is what prevents the visor from working normally. It is just a matter of time before this causes a serious accident.
