I FEEL THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE BODIES STYLES SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

IN 2011, MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR CRACKED/SPLIT AND WAS HANGING HALFWAY, AFFECTING MY VIEW. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED AT NO CHARGE OCTOBER 24 2011. NOT EVEN A WEEK AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE NEW DRIVER SIDE VISOR. I CALLED HONDA, TOOK IT TO THEM TODAY (08/15/2013). THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 95 DOLLARS!!!! REALLY?!!! THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE VISORS. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I CALLED THE HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THE VISOR I GOT REPLACE ONLY HAD A 12,000 MILE OR ONE YEAR WARRANTY. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. THESE VISORS ARE OBVIOUSLY MADE WITH CHEAP PLASTIC THAT IS NOT MADE TO LAST. SO I HAVE TO SPEND ALMOST 100 DOLLARS EVERY YEAR AND A HALF IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHILE I AM DRIVING? THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL VISORS AT THEIR COST. MAYBE IT MIGHT FORCE THEM TO PROVIDE VISORS THAT ARE SAFE AND WILL LAST. I AM GOING TO LOOK ONLINE ALSO TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY PETITIONS. PLEASE MAKE HONDA HAVE A RECALL ON THESE VISORS SO WE CAN ALL SEE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND AN EXTRA 100 DOLLARS EVERY YEAR OR TWO. IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR IN TOWN WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL IN MY VIEW. IT WOULD NOT STAY UP. IT SPLIT INTO TWO PIECES THAT WOULD NOT GO BACK TOGETHER. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET 2 NEW REAR TIRES BECAUSE THE CAR KEEPS EATING UP THE REAR TIRES FOR SOME STRANGE REASON. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS VISOR AND A POSSIBLE RECALL AT THAT TIME IN NOVEMBER. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THEY COULDN'T REPAIR MY DEFECTIVE VISOR FOR FREE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY RIGHT FRONT SEAL WAS BAD, FRONT BRAKES WERE BAD, AND MY RIGHT REAR SHOCK WAS BAD AND THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT 1000 TO FIX EVERYTHING. *TR
