2010 Honda Civic visibility problems

Filed Jul 11, 2022 · Visibility · MD

I recently read about the federal safety agency ID Number: 11469938 It made me realize I have the same problem although not as bad. My driver side sun visor is split at the seam. This causes it to hang slightly lower but does not completely block my view of the road. I have never had it inspected/replaced, but after reading about the complaint case above, I am worried the same may happen to my visor in the future (i.e. visor will flop down and block my view of the road).

The sun visor keeps splitting at the seam. When that happens it'll no longer hold itself in place and it will flop down blocking my view. At this point I've replaced both sun visors 3 times since I bought the car, about once every 3 years in the summer. This started happening at about 80,000 miles. Whatever adhesive Honda is using to put these together don't hold up in the heat. You can feel the visors getting soft and bending in the heat until it inevitably breaks. It can't be usage either since both the driver and passenger side fail at about the same rate and the passenger sun visor rarely gets used.

Wiper blades makes loud rubbing noise, because wiper arms are pressed very hard against windshield causing friction between the blades and windshield. I installed new wipers from sam's club, still loud noise is not going away. This problem existed ever since I bought brand new civic in 2010, but due to light usage mostly in dry days, I ignored this problem. I feel car is unsafe to drive in rain or snow due to poorly designed wiper arms or wiper assembly. I have only driven 54,000 miles since 2010.

In 2012 I purchased a 2010 honda civic ex coupe. I started having issues with the sun visors breaking. At first my warranty covered the cost and then out of pocket expense of $150.00 each time I had to replace. The issue is the safety of not being able to see in the sun light or the evening, due to the broken sun visors dangling in my line of sight. Enclosed are pictures of the broken sun visors pass and present. I will have to be replacing the drivers side once again for my safety, due to the sharp pointy object by my head where the sun visor was attached to. I did call honda corp and report the issue only again and the safety issue of the point object by my head. I took my honda to the service department and they would have to replace the whole sun visor. Both the service person and mechanic had to careful place themselves in my honda to ensure they did not poke the head on the sharp pointy object.

Driver side sun visor is broken/defective. The two plastic panels just cracks open or fall apart even though it has always been operated properly. It is a safety hazard since visibility is greatly affected with the visor not working in the summer sun!! I have noticed this potential problem when purchased it in 2015 but though the visor's arm just need some lubrication but that's not the case.

I have replaced a fan resistor for my interior fan three times once at the dealer and the other two at a mechanic shop this has become dangerous due to the fact that you can not turn on your fan when you need to defrost you windshield when it fogs up restricting your visibility to a dangerous level.
