2006 Honda Civic visibility problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE, EXCLUDING THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE DEFROST STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.”

“SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE GLUE GIVES OUT CAUSING THE CLAMP TO LOSE TENSION AND THE VISOR TO FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAS YET TO FIX THE PART. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE VISORS REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS CIVICS BOTH TWO AND FOUR DOOR MODELS IN THE 2006 THRU 2010 YEAR MODELS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 111,000 MILES ON MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WHICH HAS GONE OUT FOR THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. WHEN ADDED TO THE VISORS WHICH CAME WITH THE CAR, I CURRENTLY HAVE HAD FOUR GO BAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FIVE GO BAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HONDA MAKES VISORS THAT WILL NOT GO BAD IN THIS WAY IN THEIR OTHER MODELS. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, SUN VISOR DESIGN. *TR”

“THE SUN VISOR ON DRIVER SIDE CRACKED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY HONDA FOR 2006 TO 2008 HONDA CIVICS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. I AM AT 102,934 MILES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I WOULD EXPECT THAT THIS WOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. *JB”

“THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. IT CAN BE SNAPPED BACK INTO PLACE, BUT WHILE IT'S BROKEN, IT DECREASES VISIBILITY AND IT TAKES TWO HANDS TO SNAP IT BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY NOW. *TR”

“SUN VISOR IN 2006 HONDA CIVIC BROKE. IT SPLIT CAUSING IT TO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. IT JUST HANGS IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S FACE BLOCKING VISION OF THE ROAD, WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VISOR WAS NEVER USED MUCH AND NEVER USED FORCEFULLY TO CAUSE IT TO BREAK IN THIS WAY. *TR”
