- Honda Civic Visor Settlement - In the past, Honda Civic owners have posted messages on this site concerning failed sun visors. I work with one of the law firms representing the plaintiffs and class members in a case against Honda regarding Honda Civic sun visors. We have reached a settlement with Honda in the case. If you own or lease (or previously owned or leased) a Honda Civic (model years 2006 through 2008, as well as some 2009 models) you might be eligible to receive settlement benefits--including an extended warranty on the visors and reimbursement for what you paid out-of-pocket to repair your sun visor. The notice that went to the class regarding the case and the settlement is available at www.visorsettlement.com, under the "Notice" link in the left-hand column. You may review it to see if your vehicle is covered under the settlement and if you are entitled to benefits. The notice contains information on how to submit a claim for reimbursement if you paid out-of-pocket to repair or replace your Civic sun visor. If you have questions, feel free to call Brian Beasley or Steven Tindall at 415-421-1800 or log onto www.visorsettlement.com

I am now on my third driver's side visor. The first time it was covered by the dealership, but the second time I had to pay. I am definitely not going to pay again for a flawed design.
This and the horrible A/C condenser design on this car (broke twice) has led me to the decision that I will NEVER buy a Honda again. Hell, other than the crappy transmission on my 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, I never had an issue with that car. A/C never broke and no interior parts broke. Sure they didn't have good quality material but they never broke!!.
