2011 Honda Civic visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I love my honda civic and this is the 2nd one I've had, however I have one safety issue with the 2011, visibility and blind spots while driving. Sitting in the drivers seat, the part between the front windshield and the passenger side window has nearly caused me several accidents. I pull up to stop sign, and road looks clear, but when I start to pull out, I just miss a car or truck that was caught in that one blind spot. Honda should look into this and fix the design of this area.
Driver side sun visor is defective and will not stay up. Need to get a replacement because honda refused to cover under warranty.
The sunvisor in the driver's side is broken. At first, one side split open and wasn't keeping the visor in place letting it fall in front of the driver's face. After few days, it completely felt off. I bought this car brand new and only have about 24,000 miles, I don't drive it very much and I think it is bad quality in their sunvisor. I called the honda dealer and they want to charge me $110, they said that there is not in recall because is the 2011 model.
Both sun visors cracked and no longer remain in the stowed position. Then can fall down into the driver's field of view.
Drivers side visor has broken, split apart. This is the second one that will require replacing.
This 2011 civic ex I own has already gone through 3 drivers side sun visors. The visor splits, and causes a distrction to the driver by flopping down, and potentially causing a distraction to LED to an accident. In researching this, honda was sued for 2006 - 2009 models for this very problem - and lost (yet not taking responsibility). I spoke to american honda, they said that they do not know about the 2011 model being a problem. That is not true. I spoke to the dealer, san tan honda. The dealer says it is hot so they split. Maybe they should only sell these cars in alaska, and not arizona. There are no grey drivers side sun visors for the 2011 honda civic available in the united states. They are on back order, and they do not know when they are coming in. That should be an indicatior of a quality problem. Honda is not taking responsibility, and has not issued any notice and has does not have the parts, nor done the redesign for this defective part. Please help to hold honda accountable to stock parts, and extend the warranty of this defective part. They cannot seem to learn the lesson of their lawsuit on previous models. They should be forced to redesign the part, and be fined for failing to address the known situation.
My sun visors have split open at the seam and do not stay up. They obstruct my vision, especially driving at night. Both driver side and passenger side visors broke within one day of each other at 37,700 miles. Honda refuses to extend warranty and says that I must have damaged them by not using them correctly! Car is only one year old and was purchased brand new.
