While driving my 2010 honda civic, the driver's side sun visor broke, falling into the field of view for the driver. The visor failed to remain in the retracted (up) position, and would fall back into the driver's field of view, creating a dangerous situation by restricting the drivers vision.

The visor has split apart and won't stay up while I am driving. This causes a visibility problem.
The sun visor has split open and will not stay in place up against the head liner creating a visual obstruction. I have read about a class action suit related to visors that includes the 2009 civic, but not the 2010 model.
The sun visor on my 2010 civic is broken. The glue holding together the plastic molding and the fabric within the visor has deteriorated which makes the visor not able to close properly and continuously fall down. I have found info online that there was a class action lawsuit against honda in 2011 for most civics between 2006-2009 however since mine is a 2010 it does not fall into that category. Yet is does seem as though the issue was not fixed properly. I have spoken with the attorney who handled the suit against honda and it was suggested I file a complaint here to get the word out that the issue still exists so hopefully we can expand the class within the lawsuit.
Driver side sun visor broke simply by pulling it down to shield the sun. Both the driver and passenger sun visors had been replaced already, so this is the third time. Once it broke, it just hang there. Since it does not stay up or down, it partially blocks the view out of the front windshield. It is quite dangerous to drive in this condition. You can not move it to the side either, once it broke open. My biggest concern is honda simply will replace the same poorly-designed sun visor with another one, it is going to break again. The reason why I point this out because this will be my third one!!!
- premature brake ware 40 thousand miles on the car and the brakes have to be changed this will be the 3rd time, checked in feb 14, 2012 and deemed fine. - rear wheel wobble - passenger window glass shakes when window down - door unlock makes screeching noise when unlocked - car whines when started.
Leaving nashville, tn, our new honda civic 2010 rear windshield exploded, completely shattering, but remaining intact. Impossible to see out the rear window due to this. No foreign object came into contact with the windshield. Honda suspects faulty glass.
Driver side and passenger side sun visors are in the down position and have lost their mechanical ability to be placed in its resting position against the headliner. The driver side sun visor in its down position is a safety hazard for the driver because visibility is limited. With limited visibility while driving, this poses a serious danger for the driver while operating the motor vehicle.
The night light needs to be turn on and is so dim that you need the high beam light to drive at night which is just plain blinding for the person in front/ or coming towards me.
Sunvisor on drives side cracked at seam and unable to return to the up position. Obstructing view. Had to remove visor to continue driving. The passenger side had same problem, two months later. Dealer replaced no cost to me; however, stated it this occurred again I would be responsible for repair. Both time dealer had part in stock, I found that a sun visor would be in stock.
Drivers side sun visor is defective and obstructs view of the road. It will not stay up or fully extended into the window.
Driver's side visor broke and now falls unexpectedly while driving causing a distraction and reduced frontal visibility. This seems to be frequent problem with civics when researched on-line.
