Couldn't believe the visor broke and Honda just said "we'll order another one" like it happens every day. Also interior has some flaws. Complaint I entered on the suspension had wrong mileage. It was probably around 16,000 when they had to replace the rear control arms & give us 2 new tires.
Got this car for the MPG and at least that has not been a disappointment. Hope this car lasts. Our '04 Escape with over 115,000 has had no problems. That Fusion is looking mighty good.

I called anyone who would listen ... Of course they would listen and acted like I was the only one who had this problem ... As if it was crazy and my sun visor was breaking apart ... I located this website and now realize I had been lied to and Honda refuses to deal with this problem ... Still unsure how to proceed ... Guess I need to budget for a yearly sun visor replacement or get rid of the car ... I did forward this website to the owner of the local Honda dealer ... I now have their attention ... but tomorrow will decide "To Pay or Not To Pay"

I went to my dealership and they acted as though I was stupid and that is was my fault for my driver side sun visor being broken. they said it would cost 80 dollars to replace plus 20 for installing. Why should I have to pay 100 or so dollars to replace something that is just going to break again? That’s crap give them hell don let them push you around you shouldn’t have to pay a sh*t load of money for something that is just going to break.

I�ve had to replace 3 cracked driver side sunvisors on my 2007 Honda. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU IT IS JUST A HEAT PROBLEM. I live in Central California, hardly ever get real hot weather. Honda at 1-800-999-1009 acted like I was only one that has problem. Refused to guarantee after warranty is over. Look on internet. Massive complaints about sunvisor. We should not be penalized because they use cheap parts. This is a safety issue. This problem started with their 2006 models and they still haven�t fixed it.
Don't let them get away with this: Write complaint directly to Tetsuo Iwamura, CEO of Honda Motor Co. Inc., Mail Stop 500-2N-7A, 1919 Torrance Boulevard, Torranc, California 90501-2746. Let him know if you don�t get satisfaction, you will file complaint with National Highway Traffice Safety Administration (NHTSA) at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm and Consumer Product Safety Commission at http://www.cpsc.gov/. You can file complaint on line.

The visor on the driver side snaps open and cracks up on top. It is a cheap plastic part. I my bought the vehicle about 1 and 1/2 year ago and it already happened twice. Since the car is under warranty the dealer has replaced it both times free. Second time it cracked open only in couple years. Not sure why they have plastic casing to pull it up and down as it is common sense that plastic will crack opne if you regularly pull it up and down to protect from sun light. Once it cracks open it hangs loose down and very much disturbing to your natural view of the road. This is a small problem but big pain in the rear..... My biggest worry is once the car is off the warranty if this keeps on happening I will end up spending big money this stupid little part........ Planning to file complaint with Honda Motors USA

The driver side visor separated when you move it to block the sun. At first I could push it together. Now it will not go together and the visor hangs limp, blocking my view. Time off work to have it replaced. Have had other friends with the same problem. Dealer says heat causes problem and we are in Phoenix. I have read many many complaints of this problem from all over.

I bought a Honda because everyone I know who has had one has been THRILLED with the quality of the car. Now here I am, one year later barely able to see in the early morning or evenings when driving to and from work because of the Sun Visor #1 wouldn't remain in the up or down position and then, #2, literally split in half and fell off in my lap.
What a joke. I called the closest Honda dealer - too bad...warranty is done..estimate at least $200.00 to fix.I wrote a letter to the Corporate Headquarters a few weeks ago and am waiting for a response. This is nuts - you can't drive if you can't see properly - I am almost 50 - have owned many cars over the years. NEVER had a sun visor problem in my Ford -
