The sun visor on my 2006 Honda Civic si trim fell off while parked. It has nearly fallen off while driving. It is totally nonadjustable while driving because it will fall off. Honda did not inform me about a class action settlement involving an extension of warrant to 100K/7 years. My mileage is now outside of their extended warranty period. This is a continuing issue with all Honda Civics in this generation and Honda has refused to redesign the part to prevent future failures.

The wipers will not work properly. A few days ago on intermittent, they went 5 times, stopped/paused, then 3 times and then a few more times, then stopped again. Later on that day, they would not turn off at all unless I turned the ignition off. Today on the way to work, on a highway in the rain, my wipers stopped altogether which was scary as immediately I couldn't see anything for a few seconds. I moved the wiper arm around and they started again. When I got to work, they wouldn't stop and again, I had to turn the engine off to make them stop. I have never had this happen before in any car I have owned.

My windshield wipers on my Honda Civic ex 2006 vehicle are not working properly. The main problem is that they won't turn off most of the time and when they do, they park anywhere on the windshield, which is often in my field of vision. The intermittent setting does not work properly. When I use any speed setting, the wipers go at the same speed and do not turn off when I put in the stop position. It is very distracting when driving in traffic not knowing when the wipers will decide to stop and where on the windshield they will stop. Sometimes they stop in my field of vision and I need to quickly start them again so I can see, not knowing when and/or where they will stop the next time. Often I need to keep doing this so I can safely see the road. I have read many posts on the internet discussing this same problem. Apparently, this is a problem common to my make and model car and it is difficult to identify the specific cause. I strongly feel that there is a defect in the car causing this and that a recall should be made to rectify the problem.
