I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC AND THE DRIVER'S VISOR JUST DECIDED TO COME APART. IT IS STILL ATTACHED, BUT IT WILL NOT STAY UP IN IT'S PROPER POSITION, INSTEAD, IT FALLS IN FRONT OF MY FACE CAUSING ME TO BE DISTRACTED. I AM PAYING FOR SCHOOL OUT OF MY POCKET AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT JUST YET. I HAVE TO LEAVE IT DOWN AT ALL TIMES, AND IT CANNOT BE PUSHED BACK, I HAVE TO LEAVE IT STRAIGHT DOWN IN MY FACE AND BEND DOWN TO SEE STREET LIGHTS AND OTHER THINGS. IT JUST DID THIS ONE DAY, AND I NEVER EVEN USE MY VISOR. I ALSO ONLY HAVE ABOUT 40K MILES ON MY CAR. *TR

BOTH VISORS FAILED COMPLETELY WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH OTHER. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL WITHOUT MY TOUCHING IT AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO STAY UP. IT BLOCKED MY VISIBILITY SO I HAD TO HOLD IT UP SO I COULD SEE CLEARLY TO DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION I SAW THAT THE VISOR HAD SPLIT AT THE HINGE, BASICALLY LOOKS AS IF IT HAD EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR THIS MORNING, THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS IN THE SAME CONDITION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE VISORS OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE WITH TWO VISORS BLOCKING MY VISION? I CAN'T GET THEM TO STAY UP. THERE IS NO OPTION FOR VISOR UNDER FAILED COMPONENT 1 AND 2 BELOW SO I SELECTED VISIBILITY/WIPER.

PREMATURE TIRE WEAROUT - EXTREME SHAKE, ESPECIALLY AY HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER SAID NOTHING IS WRONG THEY WERE ACTUALLY WORN AT 20K CAR HANDLES HORRIBLE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS, I EXPECT THIS TO BE AN ISSUE EVERY 20K UNTIL HONDA STEPS UP AND ADMITS THEY HAVE A REAR SUSPENSION ISSUE WITH THE '08S. EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATIONS/UNEVEN AND RAPID TIRE WEAR, FLAT SPOTS AND CUPPING ON REAR TIRES WITHIN FIRST 20K. REPLACED WITH FOUR NEW TIRES, THEN EXPERIENCED THE SAME SEVERE VIBRATIONS AND SYMPTOMS AT AROUND 33K. TSB FOR '06-'07 DESCRIBES SAME SYMPTOMS AND NEW CONTROL ARM TO RESOLVE ISSUE. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO HONDA DEALER WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATE THAT MY '08 VEHICLE HAS THE UPDATED CONTROL ARM AND THAT CAR IS "FINE". OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR THE '08 AS WELL AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT "FINE". THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE LISTED ON VARIOUS INTERNET AUTO PROBLEM SITES THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. *TR
