Sun visors driver side visor detachment at 4 months of new ownership. replaced by honda dealer under warranty. *tr

My sun visor cracked at the hinge over a year ago and since that time it would repeatedly fall in my face blocking my line of sight. many times it even hit me in the head. honda wouldn't pay to replace or fix it. i finally removed it since it obstructed my view of the road so now i have the sun in my eyes. i am not apt to buy the same part again as i've seen hundreds of postings online about honda civic owners who have experienced the same problem. there needs to be a recall of this visor and honda needs to replace these parts in all civics with functionable parts. *tr

Both sun visors on my 2008 honda civic ex sedan swing down suddenly and unexpectedly. this abrupt malfunction blocks view of both the road and the rear view mirror, creating an extremely hazardous driving situation. when they swing down, efforts to return them to the ?up? (never have been deployed) position are completely useless. both swing down again and refuse to remain up and out of the way. the visors are made up of several plastic panels. at least one of the panels in each visor seems to have warped due to normal summer temperatures. it appears that deformation is what prevents the visor from working normally. it is just a matter of time before this causes a serious accident. *tr

Sun visors on 2008 honda civic exl malfunction. within a couple of months after purchasing the car- the sun visors started to malfunction. seemed to be caused by interior heat in the vehicle. they (both left and right) finally failed to where once they were in the down position you could not putt them back in the stow position with out using two hands - need not say much about the safety hazard here and with following. also, from stow position they keep falling down on their own accord. contacted the dealer - since the car was under warranty they replaced them. i told the dealer that it was a design flaw probably caused by expanding plastic parts due to heat. told the dealer that the new replacement would probably do the same thing with time and honda corp should be notified. not sure they notified honda of the potential problem or safety concern. *tr

Defective sun visor: splits open & won't hold up, obstruct view. this happened multiple times: right side 09/08/08, left side 09/29/08, right side 10/07/11, left side 06/12/12. honda keeps replacing it with the same defective design. please read other forums and see that this is a very frustrating issue. when it is broken, there's no way to hold it up but with your hand. dangerous driving on the freeway like that. *jb

I have a 2008 honda civic. the sun visor passenger side has cracked and failed. it is a known defect at honda, but they refuse to issue a recall or replace it for free. *tr

Drivers sun visor on 2008 civic ex coupe suddenly swings down creating hazard especially at night. this visor is useless and refuse to remain up. it appears several plastic pieces inside the visor are popped out making impossible to function correctly. this seems to be a consistent problem with 2008 civics. at my scheduled service i plan on talking to the dealer about problem and correction. *tr

Front driver window came out of plastic window channel (seal) during closing and would not seal properly. temporary fix: could manually push/pull window into channel during closing, but watch your fingers! occurred at approximately 6000km. i believe root cause was faulty switch which didn't provide signal to window motor to stop if window closed. after window closed, if button activated, could hear motor still pushing window glass up. eventually, this would cause window glass to damage channel (seal) dealer replaced window regulator,seal and glass under warranty. *tr

There has been no wreck or fire---this is a complaint for your tsb compilations....we have an 08 civic lx: the transmission shifts roughly, and with delays. slowing down and then re accelerating lightly causes a delay----as if the transmission/control module can't figure out which gear to get into--- and then a rough engagement. from d to reverse, there is a harder engagement than should be. it's as if there is a problem with the control module or the torque converter. my dealer says all these things are normal in a civic auto transmission. we have an 07 accord exl and it has none of these problems, nor did any other vehicles i've had in the past with a.t. it seems there should be some control module reprogramming or software patch for this transmission. also, as a safety problem, it is harder to see out of this windshield during rain, esp. at night, than any car i've driven. possibly the extreme slant of the glass? as a safety problem, as well, the brakes have a soft pedal, as well, and require more force than our accord(much much more)or than any car i am used to, except one with air in the lines....dealer says this soft pedal is normal, as well. *tr
