THE SUN VISOR FOR THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY YEAR SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, AS IT MELTS OFF IN THE SUMMER HEAT.

I LOVE MY HONDA CIVIC AND THIS IS THE 2ND ONE I'VE HAD, HOWEVER I HAVE ONE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2011, VISIBILITY AND BLIND SPOTS WHILE DRIVING. SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, THE PART BETWEEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I PULL UP TO STOP SIGN, AND ROAD LOOKS CLEAR, BUT WHEN I START TO PULL OUT, I JUST MISS A CAR OR TRUCK THAT WAS CAUGHT IN THAT ONE BLIND SPOT. HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND FIX THE DESIGN OF THIS AREA. *TR
