NHTSA Complaint #10448984 — 2008 HONDA CIVIC

BOTH SUN VISORS HAVE CRACKED AT HINGES. I HAVE TO HOLD VISOR IN PLACE TO SEE TRAFFIC LIGHT. SHOULD VISOR BE PLACED TO THE LEFT OF ME (DRIVER), IT HAS UPON RARE OCCASION SWUNG & HIT ME IN THE HEAD. THIS IS DANGEROUS & I HOPE HONDA DOESN'T CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THEM AS BY SEVERAL OTHER TESTIMONIES VIA THE INTERNET, OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THESE VISORS TO BE DEFECTIVE & MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING SAID VISORS & HONDA SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING & REPLACE MY VISORS FREE, AS I HAVE UNDER 10K MILES ON THE CAR & TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. ALSO, THE ENGINE BLOCK PROBLEM SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL AS AGAIN, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THIS ISSUE. HONDA GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WILL LAST FOR 3 YRS AFTER MY CAR IS PAID OFF. WHILE THIS MAY SEEM TRIVIAL TO A HUGE CORPORATION, IT MEANS A LOT TO THOSE OF US ON A FIXED INCOME. I CANNOT GIVE YOU AN EXACT INCIDENT DATE BUT MY CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YRS OLD WHEN THE VISORS CRACKED (ONLY A MONTH APART). I TRUSTED HONDA BUT APPARENTLY THEY DIDN'T WISH TO SHARE THE VISOR ISSUES WITH BUYERS TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR
