NHTSA Complaint #10334386 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC AND HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS SPLITTING AND FALLING INTO A DOWN POSITION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PUT INTO AN UP POSITION AGAIN. THIS RESULTS IN AN IMPEDED VIEW OF MY DRIVING FIELD. WHEN I TRY TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE WINDOW AND MAKE A TURN THE VISOR HITS ME IN THE HEAD CAUSING ANOTHER ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACED (NOT SURE ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE), BUT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I NEEDED TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACED BUT IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY AND I DID NOT HAVE THE $65.00 TO PAY FOR IT. NOW I NEED THE PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS SO LOOSE I HAVE TO PUSH IT UP FOR EVERY STOP LIGHT SO I CAN SEE IT. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HOW IT FLOPS DOWN AND BLOCKS YOUR FIELD OF VIEW. I MADE A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PART. *TR
