I'm now concerned that there are so many cracked engine block problems as well. I have filed a complain with NTSB over the visor issue. I understand that the large clips help to solve the visor splitting problem but why do we need a jury-rig solution to a HONDA PROBLEM???? I have had several Honda models over the past 15 years but the lack of a good response to the visor issue by Honda is forcing me to consider Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Chrysler, GM, etc. (did I miss anybody?). Honda, you have done yourself a huge disservice by not solving the visor problem. I’m on the third go around with the visor issue on my 07 Civic EX.

I repaired myself with small machine screws, nuts and washers. At 50 000 miles took the car for recall service regarding water pump pulley. Complained about the visors. They replaced them and charged for labor only, ($20). And told me when these fail, they will replace them, and there will be no more charge because they have a record that they replaced them once already and they failed. I think I will use this dealership for my repairs in the future. Cathedral City, CA Honda Dealer. Honda Civic 2007, both visors failed between 25 000 and 35 000 miles.

Had the visor replaced about 6 months ago and it's broke again. The tech at Carmichael Honda told me that although the Civic is a great car the visor was made poorly and just to slap the visor in an upward fashion when it falls down. He said that would make stay up. Of course the extended warranty is not for "plastic or trim" He said I should handle the visors "gingerly" Great advice. I'm going to start looking into how a recall can be made. I too have a 2007 Civic. Had the visor replaced about 6 months ago and it’s broke again.

The 1st replacement the car had 3000 miles on it. I now have 16,000 miles on it. I called the 800 # at the back of the owners manual and was told that they only make recalls for safety issues. ( I've had 2 of those already for other reasons) I told them that a sun visor hanging in your face at night was a definate safety issue. They did not agree. They also said that after the warrenty was gone I would have to pay for the replacements. At least they replaced both the front axles for free. What next? Before I bought this Honda I had a 1998 Civic for 10 years and loved it. I will not buy another one. I just replaced my 4th sun visor on my 2007 Honda Civic.

Both sun visors split just after the warranty expired. Slidell Honda, (Louisiana) said that they will replace them for $80 a piece! I never had a visor to split open and flop in my face before in any vehicle that I have ever owned. I find it amazing that after so many complaints on visor failure that Honda has not issues a recall. Honda's reputation for quality is going down the tubes on this one, and I haven't even mentioned the issue of pre-mature rear tire wear. Perhaps Honda is not the same top-notch company as it used to be. I have a 2006 Honda Civic 4 dr EX. Both sun visors split just after the warranty expired.
