While driving down the fairfax county parkway (westbound between greenspring village and rolling rd) at about 40 or 45mph, the hood on my 2006 Honda CRV opened by itself. It flew open and obstructed the window. I had to stop in a travel lane before proceeding to the shoulder at low speed. I'm lucky I wasnt hurt and didnt cause an accident. I had not opened the hood in weeks.

The driver side sun visor of my 2006 CRV sags down into my line of sight. Hitting bumps in the road causes it to sag even lower. This is dangerous for the obvious visibility reason, but could also be dangerous in the event of an accident. Honda started making an upgraded replacement part that shouldn't sag, but failed to update the thousands of vehicles affected. I currently have mine tied up with twine until I can get a replacement visor.

The sun visor on the driver's side is stuck, and will not go all the way in the "up" position. The visor is therefore stuck in a position where it bumps against the driver's forehead. T has been this way for over a year.

Sun visor failure. This is a safety issue as it will no longer fold up or fold away. This causes a visual hazard and seems like a design flaw that has affected every CR-V and Accord eventually. Timing seems to depend on the # of times the visor is flipped, & thats why the passenger side is noted less often (flipped less frequently). There are many online video fixes (youtube), but as there are many online blogs reporting this problem & is clearly a visual hazard I think this needs to be addressed by Honda & ntsb.

For months, sun visor hung low, not blocking visibility, but it would not return to normal, upright position. Eventually had a complete failure of visor where it neither closes nor blocks sun, merely hangs and causes visibility issues. Because of its position, it also regularly hits my head if exiting vehicle or leaning forward for any reason. Honda recalled many civics for this reason but have done nothing to repair Cr-vs.

Driver's side visor began to sag and finally will not stay up. It is approximately 5 inches from the roof of the vehicle, causing a safety concern. I also hit my head routinely entering and exiting the vehicle. Dealer advises they are unaware of any pattern of failure with visors on the 2006 CRV, and are only aware of problems with visors on civics. I have read blogs showing there are actually numerous reports of failures, and repeated repairs for this problem on the 2006 model. They advise the charge will be $150 plus labor to repair the problem.

I was driving and pulled down my sun visor as the sun was in my eyes. When I went to return it to position it kept falling down into my view of the road. I had just started a 1500 mile trip and it turned into a real safety hazard as it kept falling down blocking my view.
