NHTSA Complaint #10470345 — 2011 HONDA CIVIC

THIS 2011 CIVIC EX I OWN HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH 3 DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISORS. THE VISOR SPLITS, AND CAUSES A DISTRCTION TO THE DRIVER BY FLOPPING DOWN, AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO LED TO AN ACCIDENT. IN RESEARCHING THIS, HONDA WAS SUED FOR 2006 - 2009 MODELS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM - AND LOST (YET NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY). I SPOKE TO AMERICAN HONDA, THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE 2011 MODEL BEING A PROBLEM. THAT IS NOT TRUE. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER, SAN TAN HONDA. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS HOT SO THEY SPLIT. MAYBE THEY SHOULD ONLY SELL THESE CARS IN ALASKA, AND NOT ARIZONA. THERE ARE NO GREY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISORS FOR THE 2011 HONDA CIVIC AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER, AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING IN. THAT SHOULD BE AN INDICATIOR OF A QUALITY PROBLEM. HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, AND HAS NOT ISSUED ANY NOTICE AND HAS DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS, NOR DONE THE REDESIGN FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. PLEASE HELP TO HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE TO STOCK PARTS, AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. THEY CANNOT SEEM TO LEARN THE LESSON OF THEIR LAWSUIT ON PREVIOUS MODELS. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO REDESIGN THE PART, AND BE FINED FOR FAILING TO ADDRESS THE KNOWN SITUATION.
