2006 Honda Civic – stupid driver side visor popped open this week – of course the dealer wants ME to pay HIM $82.00 for the part – “I don’t think so” – i have extended warranty for another 3,000KM but visors not covered!!! Of course I am a great believe in duck tape and crazy glue. Will get the boys & hubby busy fixing it tomorrow. BTW we live in Canada so it’s not the heat! it was barely 0F when the visor broke…so WTF is going on with these damn visors???

I have a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. I have had over $4000 worth of repairs in less than 4 years and just over 30,000 miles–first a hybrid sensor, then the driver’s side window wouldn’t stay up, then the rack and pinion steering went, now it is part of the brake system. My tires seem to be wearing out very quickly and it looks like others have had this problem as well. My dealership has been very good to me but American Honda has not. I have asked them to provide me with an extended warranty, but they insist that if I have trouble, to just call them and they will deal with things on a case by case basis. Do we need to let our complaints be known to a wider audience the way Toyota’s problems have become well known? This car is so far from Honda’s usual good quality that I doubt I will ever buy a Honda again.

I’ve had two major problems withe my 07 civic coupe LX, the first one is the front bumper started to fall off last week and the alignment is very bad with the wheels. I’ve taken the car twice for wheel aligment within the last year! There is also a weird clicking sound when I start the car, like a solenoid! I live in NYC, and the car has only 19,000 miles.

I just called Honda today and they said they only have a “few” reports of this. In order for them to do anything about this, they have to have enough formal complaints by phone, so call them at (800) 999-1009 and make a formal complaint. If they do not do anything about this I wonder if we can get lawyers involved for a class action suit. This concerns safety.

I have a 2007 Civiv EX. I’ve taken it into the dealership multiple times and told them that it sounds like my tire is going to fly off any moment, no matter my speed or the road I am on. My doors have started trying to automatically lock when i stop (they’re already locked) and sometimes does not want to start after sitting in the parking lot all day. My engine recently started occasionally making a ticking noise, anyone had any problems? I have not had the visor problem though, and I live in GA, I think I’d rather have the visor problem.

My 2006 Civic visor cracked a while ago. But I knew my car was out of warranty, so no point going to the dealer. But today when it fell off in my hand, it prompted me to search the web for others. Look how many I found!! I called the dealer, who just said they would give me a break…but would not say what that was. So I call the 800-999-1009 number. They acted like they had never heard of this. And the only way they would determine if they would do anything is that I had to take the car to the dealership for examination first. It’s really very simple. The visor cracked and fell off in my hand. So much for quality. Did anyone replace their visor with something different than a Honda part? I don’t want this cycle to keep repeating itself.

i have not had any issues or problems with my visors on my 2006 civic ex, although my main issue is the paint cracking on the hood. when i bought the car, i checked carfax, its never been in an accident, i called honda corporate office to explain the problem and they said because it was past the 36k mile warranty, they could not cover the cost to have it repainted, i got an estimate and for them to strip, repaint, and coat is going to cost $350. it is a manufacturer defect and should be covered no matter what, especially if you buy the car used and it has 53k miles when you buy it

I have 2006 Civic EX and my sister has 2006 Civic EX Coupe, both of our cars have cracking sunvisor, mine is on the driver side, and my sister’s in on the passenger side. I am so surprise a lot of people experience the same thing and there’s still no recall. To make it even worse, Honda doesn’t even care about this issue. My sister tried to get her sunvisor replaced but they want to charge her $75+labor for it. Now I put the visor to the side instead of leaving it hanging and blocking my driving view. But it’s still a safety hazard because the hinge is kinda loose and can move freely whenever I make turn.
Not really sure what can make the Civic’s sunvisor recalled, what we can do for now is keep calling 1800-999-1009…

I have an 07 civic ex with manual transmision, I hear a clicking sound whenever I press on my clutch pedal near the very end. Is anyone experiencing this too? I brought my car to the dealer and was told it was an on/off button for the clutch so they didn’t replaced it. But seriously, you don’t even need to press the clutch all the way to change the gear, so what on/off button are they talking about?

I have a split open driver’s side visor and when I took it in to get it fixed they wanted to charge me for it. My car is still covered under an extended warranty but the the visor replacement is not cover. That was crap!! I am glad I am not the only one with this problem. They have to order a recall on this !!!

i’m taking my 2008 in for the visor on my driver’s side. its under warranty for now but from what i’m hearing on this forum, it will surely break again. i’m going to try the binder clips to prolong the inevitable but i have to agree with everyone that for Honda to allow this to go on is making me think twice when i’m ready for my next car.

Had an awful experience – was driving and heard a screeching metal to metal sound coming from the right wheel base area of my 2008 Honda Civic. Had to turn around and go back home-called a mechanic-checked the breaks-no problem-then my son sent this article to me on recalls-called Honda said nothing yet wrong with the 2008’s but I have as of today 100,000 miles on my car; I might just be ahead of the pack due to the mileage. This Honda passed inspection 2 weeks prior to this episode. Called the dealership – they said the screeching wouldn’t stop and the car would pull from side to side if the bearings are the problem, when the wheel is ready to fall off. They all assured me that the car is fine. We’ll see. And I actually told my son to buy a Honda-not anymore. Have no problem with the sun-visors.

2006 Honda Civic 58,000 miles. CD player just broke, replaced 2 belt tentioners, drivers side beam molding keeps coming undone, seat covers kept peeling up from bottom of front seats, A/C isn’t very cold and never was. Will not be buying another civic and possibly not another Honda. I thought the first year of the redesign would be the only year with issues…. NOPE

Ok so I will be calling Honda USA on Monday, I took my 07 Civic to the dealership over the summer after my visor split and they wanted to charge me $80. They acted like it was an isolated incident and no one else in America reported the issue. This is ridiculous, they need to put out a recall or replace them for free with no labor charges, and this is neither our fault nor our issue. I have been clucked in the head one to many times and it truly should be considered a driving hazard. I am so glad that I researched this issue before paying $80 to get it fixed. … I don’t mean any harm but the person that suggested a class action lawsuit might have a good point. Is Honda not going to be satisfied until someone is seriously injured or something?

My driver side visor on my 2007 Honda civic broke and keeps falling down. Ironically my daughter has the same car and hers broke as well.
