Consumer Description

I'VE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT BROKEN SUN VISORS. WHEN GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK I GOT INTO MY 08 CIVIC AND HAD DISCOVERED IT HAD A CRACK IN THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR. THE VISOR WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION, WHICH I FOUND ODD SINCE I GET HOME AT 2AM AND I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN MY CAR. THE CRACK APPEARS TO BE AN INTERNAL PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS ALWAYS VERY HARD TO SWING THE VISOR TO THE SIDE OR TO CLIP IT BACK IN. I FIND THIS BROKEN VISOR TO BE NOT ONLY AN OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW BUT ALSO A PETTY ISSUE THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL AND FIX. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE VISORS AND HONDA NEEDS TO REPLACE THEM EVEN IF THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
