Consumer Description

THE SUN VISORS IN MY CIVIC HAVE A HONDA-ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT WHERE AFTER SOME TIME THE MECHANISM BREAKS, CAUSING IT TO STAY DOWN, BLOCKING THE DRIVER VIEW AND CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON IN WARMER CLIMATES AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM AT LEAST TWICE, WITH ANOTHER REPAIR ON THE HORIZON (THE PROBLEM STARTS WITH A POPPING NOISE WHEN PUTTING BACK TOWARDS THE ROOF). THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THEM FOR FREE THE FIRST FEW TIMES, BUT THE NEXT ONE WILL APPARENTLY COST $20 FOR THE LABOR WHILE THE VISORS THEMSELVES ARE "FREE." THE DEALER STATES THEY WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW UNTIL 75,000 MILES ARE REACHED ON THE CAR. *TR
