NHTSA complaint #10148931, filed 2006-01, 13,000 miles

“2006 Honda crv. Have replaced drivers side sunvisor 4 times, waiting on number 5. After anywhere from 2 months to 1 year the sunvisor will not stay up in place. Creeps back down instantly and cannot see out of windshield even with visor pushed all the way towards windshield. Offers no use, and when trying to use it obstructs view and is very dangerous. If visors are required, then this one is a failure. Have noted others on the Honda crv owners club forum with same problem. Have asked that they also file with NHTSA. …”
