Consumer Description

SUN VISOR SPLIT APART CAUSING THE VISOR TO LOOSELY STAY IN THE LINE OF SIGHT OF THE DRIVER. THE MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE VISOR UP DOES NOT HOLD THE VISOR UP ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE SPLIT. LOOKS LIKE THE HEAT OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR MIXED WITH THE PLASTIC PIECES OF THE VISOR CAUSED THE DEFECT. HONDA NEEDS TO NOT JUST REPLACE THE PARTS, THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE VISORS USING DIFFERENT MATERIALS THAT WILL HOLD UP TO THE EXTREME HEAT THAT CAR INTERIORS HAVE TO FACE. CURRENTLY THEY ARE REPLACING THE VISORS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED VISORS. THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, INSTEAD OF TREAT THE SYMPTOM! TYPE IN HONDA SUN VISOR DEFECT IN ANY SEARCH ENGINE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM! *TR
