I fixed it with Gorilla Glue and clamps. It held for about 6 months before breaking open again. We taped it closed with masking tape and no longer use the visor because the tape just splits open. I found out this is a common problem. A Honda Civic flaw so I went to the dealer. The car now has 130,000 miles so the flaw is no longer a flaw. After 100,000 it becomes the owners fault. They told me to call Honda, so I did. The person at Honda was reading what to say from a card and only pretended to listen to me, then read me another canned response off the card. My first and last non-USA car. When I have talked to Ford about my F-150 they are helpful. Honda was not helpful, nor were they the least bit interested. Don't say I'm sorry" unless you make at least some small attempt the act interested or sound sincere. The sun visor cracked on my 2007 Honda Civic. I fixed it with Gorilla Glue and clamps.

OR does it sound like a Helicopter is chasing you down on the interstate????? yeah, well HONDA did not make the rear upper control arms correct on the 06/07civic....you cannot adjust the camber on the rear wheels and if u notice, your rear wheels camber in.....this causes ur tires to wear QUICK! Now the only way you can fix this is to buy 2 rear upper control arms from honda ($265), Have them installed (by honda $100-$200) and then have ur wheels aligned (By Honda $50-$100). NOT TO MENTION YOU HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES! SO ON THE HIGH END YOU'D BE PAYING $565 + TIRES! AND $400 + TIRES ON THE LOW END! IM JUST SAYING THIS IS QUITE REDICULOUS!

What a piece of crap! 63,000 miles and I am on my 4th set of rear tires. Dealership is unable and/or unwilling to diagnose the problem, making it impossible to get it covered under the extended warranty. I have contacted an attorney. The shift box had to be replaced withing the first year (TSB), 5 sunvisors, and now the tires. I HATE Honda! I would rather drive a Pinto! Grrrrrr! 2007 Civic SI.

The paint is faded really bad and the dealer wants to charge her $600 to paint the car for her. I think if this paint is fading this bad with only 53,000 miles and is very well taken care of, there is a problem with the original paint job. I've looked at many cars of the same color and model and none of them have faded paint. Many are outside in the Florida sun and has not faded.

The visors broke 3 times and I had them replaced free of charge each time. BUT the tires were the WORST!!! I would go through rear tires every 6 months!!! I would have it alligned all the time and they would still come out of alignment and wear on the inside. I took my car to Big-O for an alignment and they told me legally they could not let me leave because of how bad my tires were and the rear camber adjusters needed to be replaced. The repair and 2 new rear tires cost $1070 at the time. I talked to a friend who owns an auto repair show and there was a TSB (technical service bulletin) out for sever tire wear on the 06-08 civic. I got my receipts for the repair work, copied of the service bulletin and mailed it to honda. My car was still in warranty and I got over $700 back. The will not pay to replace the tires but they will pay for the parts and the labor for the cambers. My car still wears a little on the inside not in now way as bad as it was before. Also, Firestone has a lifetime allignment service for only $70. I would highly recomment it. rhammer: I was having the same problem with my 2006 civic.

It was salvaged so all warranty was out the door. I replace 3 wheel beraings, installed camber kit all the way around, rebuilt tranny at 60k, visors replaced 4 times, this is bullshit and I would highly suggest to not buy honda anymore. My next car will be a focus since Ford actually stepped their game up... This is the htird honda I have had and have to say it is a piece of shit…. Had an 89, 95, and now an 06.

Now that I'm trying to sell it, its a pain because the prospective buyers bitch about the busted visors. I called Honda again and they told me the warranty on the visors were extended as long as you have less than 100k miles on the car. I only have 39k so I will have new ones installed tomorrow. My question is, are they going to replace them with the same crappy visors? Or were they redone to actually last more than a week?

A few months ago I had to go and have the read window tint replaced. I purchased two cars, one a sedan and one a coupe for my son. My sons car seems fine, but my rear window tint bubbled like nobody's business. I took it to the dealer and they knew about it and replaced it free. Question: Why does the dealer always send my stuff about special offers but will not send me stuff on malfunctions and recalls? Anybody got a clue? Now my driver side sun visor split and is just hanging there. Guess what? I go to the internet and lo and behold, Honda knows about this. You know I did like my Honda when I purchased it, but their customer service is shot. I can assure you I will not purchase another Honda and I will not recommend any of my associations to purchase one either. I am sorry America for not trusting you.

I took it to the dealer and they knew about it and replaced it free. Question: Why does the dealer always send my stuff about special offers but will not send me stuff on malfunctions and recalls? Anybody got a clue?
Now my driver side sun visor split and is just hanging there. Guess what? I go to the internet and lo and behold, Honda knows about this. You know I did like my Honda when I purchased it, but their customer service is shot. I can assure you I will not purchase another Honda and I will not recommend any of my associations to purchase one either. I am sorry America for not trusting you. I am coming back to America in a Chevy. We should all go back to American!!!!
