Consumer Description

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE, CAUSING IT TO FALL DOWN IN MY LINE OF VISION. IT WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON HAPPENING IN THE HONDA CIVIC AND AT THIS POINT, NEEDS TO BE FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL WITH A RECALL AND REAL FIX, OTHER THAN SIMPLY REPLACEMENT WITH ANOTHER VISOR THAT IS ALSO GOING TO BREAK! IT ALSO APPEARS FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THE PROBLEM IS CHEAP PLASTIC AND HEAT. YES, CARS GET HOT IN THE SUMMER, PARTICULARLY IF YOU LOCK THEM UP AS YOU SHOULD! HONDA CLAIMS IT'S NOT A "HAZARD" BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU IT IS!! I WAS LUCKY B/C MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT NO DOUBT WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN (AND IT WILL) IT WON'T STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
