Takata recall: my initial contact with honda occurred after receiving my recall through the mail around july 8th. I am contacting you after numerous efforts in contacting the honda recall center in regards to the passenger airbag recall on my 2007 honda civic. To date i have called honda america three times in an effort to obtain a replacement vehicle while i await the parts needed to fix my car, and faxed them an additional time after no response from the call center. I have a family of five who uses this vehicle regularly, therefore i am not able to leave the passenger seat unoccupied, as suggested. As a result, i have been unable to drive my car for nearly a month, and have been borrowing cars from friends and family. Each time i call honda corporate i am advised that my case will be forwarded to a case manager, who will contact me to authorize a rental vehicle. After nearly a month since my initial contact i have not heard anything from a supervisor. After my latest call this morning i was transferred to a supervisor who maintained that there was nothing else she could do at this time, and that i would have to continue to wait to hear from a case manager. I understand that millions of vehicles have been affected by this recall, however after this long i can no longer go without a vehicle. I am sending this message in hopes to remedy this issue, or for a representative to be made fully aware of honda's uncooperative nature for the safety of my family, or the burden we have had to endure. Due to the age as well as the mileage of my vehicle it seems that the airbag internals may have significant wear.
The passenger visor will not go back up and hangs down which could have an effect if the passenger airbag deploys, the visor might snap if it is forced back up and visibility could be a problem if the sun comes in that way.i have major concerns for deployment of the passenger airbag. The visor is stationary and in motion on the highway and on city streets as well as turning on all roads

Ok i did the appointment, took it in, and i told them why i'm here and they told me that for them to check it i have to pay $120 apart from what it costs to repair. My question is then what is free?'

Takata recallthe recall of the passenger airbag was supposed to be availablr by late summer/fall of 2016. It's almost the end of the year and the honda recall page still says recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available.
I was driving my 2007 honda civic si coupe at approximately 10-20mph.without warning my passenger side airbags deployed (2 airbags in total).the airbag deployment was loud, shocked me, and filled my car with smoke.i initially thought i was hit; however no cars were on my passenger side or able to hit me.i pulled over and there was no damage to my car (other than the inside where the airbags now deployed).my airbag light was not on prior to deployment.there was no sort of impact and absolutely no indication/reason the airbags should have deployed.if someone was sitting on my passenger side, they could have been seriously injured.if the driver airbags deployed, i could have been seriously injured and/or possibly caused an accident.this is a dangerous and very concerning malfunction that could have resulted in a lot worse.

Takata recall:i took my car to poway honda (poway, ca 92064).they charged me a diagnostic fee to fix this recall.i don't think it was fair that i have to pay a diagnostic fee, this should have been covered by the recall.my wife had taken the car to drop it off at the dealer.the dealer called me telling me that the srs light was on when my wife dropped it off (i later found out from my wife that they were lying about this - the srs light was not on when she dropped it off).they told me that since fixing the recall didn't cause the light to go off there was something else wrong and they needed to run additional diagnosticsfor which they charged me $120.88.after running the diagnostics they said that it was something wrong with the passenger side airbag inflator... I told them that was what the recall was for, then he quickly changed his story a couple of times from it being the drivers side airbag and then the passenger again.it sounded a little suspicious, and my suspicions were confirmed after talking to my wife, who stated that the srs nor any other warning light was on.

Nhtsa recall # 16v346 was issued on july 20, 2016 to replace faulty airbags that split on impact. This notice only replaced the passage side air bag. I assumed the drivers side would be replaced at a later date but as yet haven't received a notice. According to the honda airbag inflator recall center, mailed notification to replace the drivers airbag will begin in april 2019, but i have not received a recall notice. I'm a senior citizen, 90 yrs old and still driving independently. An impact with a faulty airbag deployment would be devastating and possibly fatal. This is my formal claim to have my drivers airbag replaced as soon as possible. Thank you.

Letter from congresswoman foxx on behalf of constituent re air bag deployment and a recall should be issued.the consumer stated the air bags deployed for no reason.
I am currently stationed in the us air force here in germany.while traveling during a heavy rain storm here in germany, our 2007 honda civic hydroplaned and slid off the road.it rolled sideways at least twice and impacted a mile marker sign on the driver side mirror and landed upright after hitting its roof twice.the rear windshield and the drivers side window shattered, the front bumper was ripped off and the rear bumper was crushed in.the driverside window was shattered when my head impacted it during the roll over.none of the airbags (driver, passenger, or side curtain) deployed.we received injuries to our arms, legs, and heads/faces.my wife did receive 4 stitches on the left side of her face just behind her eye.also she received a laceration on her left ear which required surgery.she also received a minor cut on her right pointer finger which required surgical glue to seal it."

On wednesday, june 11, 2008 i was driving from mar vista, ca to san leandro, ca with my 4 year old son and 20 year old sister in law. We were on the 580 w driving in the far left lane at 65mph at 11:30 am when we heard an explosion in the rear of the car. When we inspected the car, the right rear tire was blown through. The side walls were intact, but the whole top part of the tire was not connected to the side wall.my car is a 2007 honda civic coupe ex and it had about 8300 miles. I purchased the car in july 2007. The crash caused significant damage to the front left side of my car. The car is now at a body shop and is being repaired in san leandro, ca. We have the defective tire.after doing more research i found that honda had issued a service bulletin about uneven or rapid tire wear. Tsb 08-001 on february 8, 2008. I did not receive notification of this serious defect because honda is not required to notify consumers regarding tsbs. This defect is serious and affects nearly all 2006-2007 honda civics.this tsb needs to become a recall.all owners of 2006-2007 honda civics need to be made aware of this life threatening defect.i understand that tires should be checked regularly, and many consumers do, however, my tires did not give me any warning of uneven wearing.actually, it would be hard to notice since my 2007 civic coupe ex is not quite on the road and you can feel any little bump in the road.i was told that this was normal because of the stiff suspension.overall, i seriously hope that this is addressed quickly.many unsuspecting drivers, many of whom have driven honda's in the past are not expecting this type of problem which can cause tire blowouts and possible fatal accidents. It would be unfortunate that a class action suit or the death of innocent consumers prompt honda to make this tsb 08-001 notice a recall notice.

Passenger side airbag light is on
The contact owned a 2007 honda civic. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact was involved in a front end collision with another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There was a minor injury, which did not require medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed a total loss. The dealer (scholfield honda, 7017 e kellogg dr, wichita, ks 67207) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would investigate the air bag failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The vin number on my daughter's 2007 civic coupe does not bring up a recall to replace the airbag. Why? does this mean that there is no danger of metal shards exploding out of the airbag? i called american honda's consumer information dept. They checked my vin and said that there was no airbag recall. I asked why there was no recall and was told that honda does not always put the same brand of airbag in all of their vehicles. Is this true?
Takata inflators -- airbag recall letter received july 2016 which said parts would be available in late summer/fall.letter said "honda will send you another letter when parts become available to repair your vehicle". It's mid december now and have not received a "parts available" letter from honda. Very inconvenient to "avoid having passenger in front passenger seat".just called local dealership and they say they have had parts for quite some time.they don't know why honda never sent the second letter.in the meantime, we have been at risk and inconvenienced.this is a big mistake on their part and there should be follow up.
Sent honda signature card on july 25, 2016 regarding nhtsa recvall 16v-346 and have still not been contacted to have the recall item fixed.not acceptable.
Takata recall. I have called about the recall and was told that honda will call me back. It was honda that i called. Since then the airbag on my honda has deployed for no reason. I called again and still have not been helped. It deployed while i was at a red light
Takata air bag failed recall! my 2007 honda civic sedan has an inflator malfuction located in the driver side rear that keeps the airbag light on at all times. Ive taken it to valley high honda 2differant occasions. 2009, 2016 the dealer said they wont fix it, i should go to pick a part. Honda america also told me they wont fix it. Not covered under warranty! the bags are not in working order due to the light being on and will not deploy if involved in an accident! i thought safety was #1 priority for honda? i have all my documentation showing my multiple visits. My wife and children travel in this car daily. I would like some help fixing this so my family will be protected if in an accident.i received a recall notice but the dealer said its not covered. I am writing this complaint after receiving an auto airbag settlement card in the mail. I purchased the vehicle used from valley high honda in 2007. The vehicle has never been involved in an accident while i have been the owner. I was told it wasnt in one prior to my purchase.i was informed by the samedealer that the inflator wiring was damaged and came disconnected from the inflator switch and that i was at fault. ?i recently have moved and dont have all my docuents readily available, so i havent attached them yet. The airbag light had began coming on shortly after or near the time of my purchase of the car. I will send or attach my little bit of information/documents as soon as i can get settled and locate it.
The air bag lighthas been coming on and staying on more frequently yet there are no recalls for this vehicle.
Started noticing a rough ride and excessive road noise so took my vehicle to a local honda dealer for alignment and was told the noise was due to tire wear. Over the past year two repair places that have replaced my oil have told me the tire wear was due to worn out struts.this spring the dealer finally told me it was a common problem caused by the upper control arms and it would cost close to $400 to replace them.my airbag sensor light had been on most of the time for the last couple of years and the honda dealer told me during this visit that this is also a common problem and if i didn't get it fixed my airbags would not deploy in case of an accident.this problem would require replacement of a wire harness for nearly $1300.i contacted american honda to see if there were recalls for these problems and they agreed to replace the control arms for $75 and the wiring harness for $375 but i only had 60 days to complete the repairs for this price.i got the arms replaced but didn't have the money to get new tires or replace the harness.i have noticed a significant loss of traction and the noise and vibration are so bad now that i can hardly drive the car.these both appear to be engineering issues that affect safety of the honda civic and recalls should be issued to prevent accidents.
Srs light came on in my 2007 honda civic lx. Took it into dealership and reset the code. Honda said my srs light being on means the driver and passenger airbag would not deploy if in accident. Honda reset my light and said to come back if the light came on again. Srs light came back on as soon as left dealer. Called honda dealership and they said to come back and they would replace my airbag at no cost. Once at dealership they said it would be $685.40 for cable reel and $833.43 for parts for drivers airbag. I feel this is a defective product which honda is failing to addressing leaving people who do not have $1500to pay them to fix their defective airbag equipment having to drive a dangerous car.extremely disappointed with the runaround and inconsistent information honda dealership provided. I did not decline for them to fix my airbag and cable reel, i could not afford their quoted cost of$1,500 for them to fix the airbags in my car. I cannot understand how they are not covering this issue when there was a recall for this same defect in the accord.
Air bag warning light on dash goes off and on at a variable basis.taken to dealer.dealer could not figure our problem. Impact is one does not know if air bag is functional or not!
The srs light on my honda was on for the past month. This is a known issue that is affecting lots of honda civics of 2006 and 2007 that honda refuses to acknowledge. The wiring harness has to be replaced and the passenger side weight sensor, which is close to a $2000 repair. When i asked honda corporate (customer service [xxx] at 800-999-1009) i was arrogantly told they do not care because the car is outside of warranty. It is disgraceful that honda markets safety in their vehicles, but does not stand behind their srs system failing prematurely. This is not a wear and team item and no one sits in my car besides me. There should be a safety recall on this since airbags will not deploy whether or not we wear seat belts.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recall. I received a letter about the recall sometime the beginning of 2016. They stated that the remedy would be ready late summer or early fall 2017. It advised me to not let anyone ride in the passenger seat until the recall is taken care of. It is now mid january 2017 and no word. It is very difficult, with a family of 5, for someone to not be in the passenger seat. It seems they need to make this a a higher priority and take care of this immediately. Still waiting for any information from them.
Nhtsa recall number: opens new window takes away from vin lookup section> 16v-346 recall date: may 23, 2016manufacturer recall number: ka5recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet availablewe have been waiting months for this defect to be corrected. The dealer has admitted that they get priority over recalls for cars they take in trade and then resell. Why is the consumer left to wait when this is a primary mode of transportation required to conduct our daily life.waiting since may? why is the common consumer left in danger?

"takata recall"important safety recall sent from honda, but no resolution. "propellant wafers in some of the subject inflators may degrade over time, which could lead to over-aggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated. Overly aggressive combustion creates excessive internal pressure when the inflator is activated, which may cause the inflator body to rupture. In the event of inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material possibly causing injury to the vehicle occupant."honda has sent this "important safety recall information," but has not had any resolution for the problem. Must drive car daily and driving in fear for possible mishap or injury.

I used your site to see if there was any recalls on this car and your site said there are 0 recalls.so there for your site is false and does not keep an accurate track of recalls.this specific car and others have had recalls on the passenger side air bag.
I was advised by honda north in clovis, ca, to replace the opds sensor and the opds control unit which should have removed the air bag warning light.it did not!i spent $697.87 for this repair at visalia honda only to be told they could not reset the air bags.i was then told the srs control unit needed to be replaced in order to reset the air bags.the quoted cost to replace the srs control unit was $450.00.also, i was told by visalia honda's service manager, [xxx], that they had no way of determining why the warning light was coming so repairs were being made in some kind of pecking order.the srs control unit was replaced with american honda providing the part while i paid $221.54 for the labor.the warning light came on again in august 2014 at which time i was told by visalia honda that the cable reel had intermittent failure and needed to be replaced at a cost of $413.00.the cable reel has not been replaced.i have noticed many others having the same safety issues with their 2007 civic but yet american honda refuses to recall the vehicles.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was notified that my car is being recalled for airbag problems. As instructed i telephoned for an appointment at honda on july 24th, july 27th and july 29th 2016, at the number they gave me their letter.i did not hear back, so i left several more messages and emails, but still never heard back for an appointment. It has been over six months and i still have been unable to make an appointment for the recall.
The airbag light would come on if we hit a small pothole.it would stay on sometimes until the key was cycled and sometimes for more than a day.after this happening more and more often we finally took it to the dealer.it turns out that the driver side curtain air bag had a open circuit in the inflator part.honda only covered have the repairs but the should have covered all of it. This is mandatory safety equipment, it should be covered under a lifetime warranty like the seat belts.
Takata recall. I'm not sure what constitutes a timely recall or repair, but it's been 6 months since anybody has been able to sit in the front seat and i'm sick of looking like an uber driver.i'm also not convinced that the driver's side airbag is safe, and i'd rather not receive a molten hunkof metal through my neck for the sin of having a fender bender.all in all i am a very unhappy honda owner.,
Purchased 2007 honda civic new.had issue with passenger side airbag light on2008.had dealer fix.light came on 2009. Had dealer fix.light came back on 2010. Now vehicle warranty period expired. Did not worry because passenger side air only and my son drive mostly by himself.light have been on ever since. Brought car back to dealer for recall of airbags 7/2016.had dealer look at side airbag light again.they tell me the i had a faulty floor harness and all my airbags will not work and cost of repair after discount to be $1600.i call american honda on 8/1 to see if they will cover cost of repair.they did not.base on my research, i feel this is very unfair.2007 honda civic have this problem side airbag light issue code 32-10.i think my car faulty harness issue was there when i purchased the car new and it cause side airbag light to come on constantly and why the repair never lasted more than a few months. This is a safety issue same as with the seat belt and american honda should cover cost of repair.american honda has service notice concerning this problem with the honda civic only.my mileage is 85080 at this time.

I called it have the parts on my air order. I was not given another car to drive until my air bags are replaced and fix. I have small children anything could happen and all the service rep told me is to not have anyone riding in the passenger side of my car that i pay for every month. I do not think this is a safe way to keep your customer safely on the rode. I am sure that you would not place your kids in danger why should i have too?
The driver air-bag deployed while executing a low-speed "k-turn" on a residential street.the driver's hands are bruised and swollen, and there is significant residual ringing in the ears. No bones were broken and the eardrum does not appear to be perforated.
Takata recall - how is there still no remedy/replacement part available? "avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat" is not an option for me. Honda finally issued notice in july saying parts would be available late summer/fall.
The passenger side airbag light went on and i want to know why my vin is not part of safety recall.
Takata recall notice received in july 2016. Parts for passenger parts were expected to become available late summer or fall of 2016.it is now winter, december 10, 2016 - there has been no new notification - "honda recall lookup tool" tells me the fix is not available.
Takata recall there is no available solution to repair the passenger side airbag of my vehicle.
I have a water leak on passenger side
Took car to my mechanic for srs light on. He put it on his computer and code 32-10 comes up for "open or increased resistance in right side airbag inflater". He said to take it to honda dealer for repair. Honda service man tells me wiring harness needs to be replaced a $1,200.00 repair!! honda has had many other people having the same problem. Honda even has a service bulletin out for this problem. Says floor wire harness has a poor crimp in it. This is a safety issue. Honda needs to have a recall on this!!
I am having a serious issue with water leaking in through my side curtain driver side air bag when it rains. I spoke to two different dealerships and they want to take apart my whole car and both also said completely different things.it apparently is not covered under my warrant because it is a water leak but that is unfair.it is most likely destroying my air bag and that is a safety concern.honda corporate told me they have never heard of such an issue and that their hands are tied.

"takata recall".the dashboard warning light has been on consistently since 2017 indicating that the passenger airbag is not functioning.the automatic transmission is not functioning properly.when going downhill, the rpm will increase significantly without using the acceleration pedal.both sun visors are broken...each side came apart from the opposite side.the cd player quit working in 2016.the air conditioner quit working in 2016.
The dealer replaced my passenger seat. After that my srs warning light went off. It's been cycling on and off for years now. I was too frustrated at how i was treated at the dealership to go back at the time. Now i went in because i need to pass inspection and they tell me my whole srs system has had an internal error.

Dashboard airbag light was on. Took it to be serviced and code 32-10 indicated the srs control module wiring on the passenger side was faulty and the wire harness had to be replaced. Mechanic called honda, who stated they knew about the faulty wiring problem but that it was not covered under warranty. Upon researching the internet, the problem is very frequent and widespread. The wire harness cost over $1000 to be replaced and a whole day of labor.

Takata recall.in july 2016, we received initial notification of the airbag recall.we called the dealer day, midlands honda, to get it repaired.midlands honda, in lexington, sc told me they would call when the part was in.in october 2016, i called the midlands honda, since we had not heard anything.they told me they couldn't even tell me if the part had been ordered.i called american honda, and they said we had to go through the dealer.we have waited over 6 months to get this potentially life threatening recall repaired, and neither the local honda dealer, nor american honda, is doing anything to get this repaired.i'm not sure if i need to get an attorney involved, or not.we need to get this airbag recall repaired, before someone is injured or killed, due to honda's lack of response, and apparent lack of interest in their customers well being.please provide some assistance.thank you.
Srs light on.dealer said floor wire harness is crimped and air bags will not deploy in a crash.serious safety issue.

Honda civic lx 2 door coupe. My wife and i were driving on quiet residential street looking at homes. Going slow - estimate10-12 mph - we had just been at a complete stop looking at a house.foot was on brake - going down slight hill. Approached two metal sewer covers in middle of road - one in front of the other.middle of car went over first cover and i pressed brake harder because road was more uneven then appeared and car sits alittle low to ground.was about to go over second cover and passenger side airbags deployed with a load explosion. When i opened my eyes, i saw smoke and thought car was on fire.wife was holding right arm, said it was broken (it wasn't). It took a while to realize what happened. I inspected bottom of car and engine compartment. I saw no damage and started the car - not sure if i shut it off or happened automatically. Driver seat belt was locked in position.passenger seat belt worked. Car ran and operated normally.airbags caused a lot of interior damage. I took pictures of road and sewer covers from different angles.while the car was between the two sewer covers, i felt a vibration come up the steering wheel. Wife felt and heard nothing.i suspect bottom of car hit edge of second cover because it's slightly elevated.although there were no marks on asphalt pavement or metal cover.my questions are:* why did airbags deploy?why did they deploy at this speed?why only the passenger airbags?why did seat belts lock on driver side and not passenger side?i've called honda dealership twice.no replies. Insurance inspected. Car is in honda shop for repairs.i asked shop to provide any information on the computer at time of deployment.

Takata recall, waiting over 6 months for my dealer (pacific honda) to get in the replacement parts.... I am not able to have passengers sit in the passenger front seat.
1. I see airbags warning in my car but it is not in the recall list.2. Driver side sunvisor is not working.3. In initial years, had to change the brakes so many times (almost every year) - no receipts are saved.
I have had the honda civic (2007) and the airbag light came on this car is 3yrs old and has less than 60,000 miles on it when taken to the dealer this the censor for the passenger seat and is a cost of $500 but after viewing online i see other complaints of the same problem and even recalls on previous years i feel that this is something that needs to be addressed before it causes injury.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the air bags deployed for no reason while the vehicle was idling at a traffic light. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
My airbag light has been coming for the past few weeks, so i took it to a dealership to have it checked out. They hooked it up to the computer and they said my wiring harness was bad because of heat underneath my car. I asked if honda has recalled my vehicle because of this issue and they said not at this time, but they have seen this issue quite often in my model vehicle. The cost of the repair is $600.00. Why should i pay for a safety feature that's never been used before? they admitted that the harness is bad because of heat, so that tells me they have problems with this model vehicle.
Takata recall - initial letter detailing the problem was received may 23 2016 stating that a remedy would be available late summer/fall 2016. As of 10/31/16 the nhtsa website still shows remedy unavailable.this is unacceptable - i can no longer afford to not use the full function of my vehicle, specifically using the front passenger seat.5 months is too long when we are talking about a potentially serious safety issue, especially since i live in a hot and relatively humid climate.

Can't get dealer to replace airbag (passenger) on recall. They say parts are backordered. Service bulletin, 08-001 was never informed of and now cost is borne by user to replace faulty suspension parts
I took my 2007 honda civic to the dealership to inquire about my srs light,i was told that the cause was dtc 32-10, intermittent connection in floor harness. And that this was not covered by warranty.i have researched online and seen others with the same issue. It seems there is design flaw in the srs system.i have also found a service bulletin number: sb-10-001this seems like safety issue that should be covered by an extended warranty. Thank you for your time.

Srs light comes on intermittently and usually when driving over uneven terrain. I took it to the dealer and they reset the light for error code 33-10 (related to airbag inflator).i was told that i would need to replace the driver side curtain air bag if the light comes on again.this is a safety issue because when the light is on, the air bag system is disabled.in the event i get into an accident, i will not be protected. My car has never been to an accident and my airbags have never deployed and i bought the car new. I believe honda uses a faulty airbag system and creates a serious safety issue. In fact, i think honda has a service bulletin on this and a new part number to replace the old one.
1. Safety recall notice indicative of air bag problem. Took to dealer. He said that it has been fixed after an hour of stay for passenger inflator-and whennoticed while driving back, the airbag light came again. Prior to this also, this problem was notified a few years ago, and i got it fixed. Dealer asking money for doing diagnostics and then fixing it. 2. Front and rear bumper clips fixed several times-4 times spending my own money but always a problem.
Air bag light came on. The dealer said it was the sensor and would cost 690 to fix. Seems to me hondas have had trouble with airbags for the last several years. My car isn't even 3 years old. I strongly suggest that airbags be considered as real safety equipment on a vehicle since it's not optional. If seat belts are covered for the life of the car, then why not airbags? i don't believe this is a repair an owner should have to pay for. It is for safety after all.
I had deer hit on i-80 west at mile stone 294.2. In pennsylvania. My speed was 55 mph i hit brakes but despite that car hit deer and completely damaged. Despite such a accident not a single air bag was inflated. In 2015 i got letter of recall from honda on air bag. I took it to dealership and they claimed they fixed it. But in accident not a single air bag was inflated. Vehicle is totaled. Honda has compromised safety of vehicle and put my life at risk.
Both the passenger curtain and seat airbags deployed at highway speeds for no discernible reason.this airbag failure was not the result of an accident, hitting a pot hole or road imperfection or any other external impact.the civic was well maintained and in excellent condition with 33k miles.the civic was never in a prior accident.it is troubling that the car was serviced at the honda dealership on 4/12/2011 for an airbag malfunction light.honda customer service (tel # 800-999-1009) has not taken responsibility for the malfunction and claimed the car was out of warranty.this was a deplorable response by honda to an incident that could have resulted in injury to many people given that it occurred at highway speeds on a heavvily traveled parkway. If this was not an anomaly for this model and year (honda has had a rash of recent airbag recalls), then others should be warned of the potential lethal nature of this malfunction.
Takata recall: i just checked the takata airbag recall vin list and found my daughter's car listed. I proceeded to double check at honda website to confirm. I called my local dealer and they said they had to order the part. I checked then checked with honda corporate customer service, and they said the parts would be available this summer. This is unsat. We have not received a letter yet, but a vehicle is recalled the parts should be available now! this is dangerous recall.and it is obvious that the car companies are dragging their feet, and hoping drivers will just forget about the time bomb in their car. Let's hold their feet to to fire, nhtsa!
Takata recall - i received an initial letter alerting me of the dangerous situation with these airbags. However, i have yet to receive an additional letter letting me know that i can now get this part fixed. The online vin check still shows that the remedy is not available still, but it is terrifying to keep driving around knowing that people have died from the same problem.
Takata recallit's been 5 months since recall issued.
Takata recallrecall for passenger frontal airbag inflator was issued 5/23/16.recall noted that remedy parts would become available late summer/fall of 2016.i have contacted honda and was told parts still are not available.it has now been 8 months with no remedy available, which is extremely troublesome as honda recommends that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed.i would like to sell the vehicle, but fear i will not be able to, or will have to accept a much lower sale price, due to the open recall.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 35 mph, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 176,000.
Takata recallit has been three months since the takata recall, and approximately 6 weeks since i received my recall letter in the mail (note the delay before consumers received this critical safety info). It is unacceptable that any front passengers' safety is at risk and for so long without any remedy or even an update from honda as to when one might be available. I have called local dealers and it seems they too are unsure.honda should be giving us temporary leases or something to ensure safety while all those affected wait. I have barely used my car since i received the notice in fear of what might happen should my airbags deploy, and i have not been able to transporta passenger in the front seat with me for the same reason. Again, this excessive delay is unacceptable.
Takata recall:i see srs warning in my car for few days and the alarm disappears after few days. This is happening again and again. After i get my car diagnosed with honda dealer, my car got airbag problem but not covered under recall. I had to change the disk brakes of this car more frequently. They do not last even for 15000 miles.
The airbag light is on
Code 32-10 per s/b # 10-001: safety restraint system warning light caused by a faulty harness.this is a manufacturing defect that could prevent air bags from deploying in an accident.harness was improperly crimped during assembly.this defect could result in serious injury or death.
Takata recallon june 20, 2016, i noticed my vehicle was recalled, and i spoke to the dealership who informed me that they did not know when the part would be in and that they would call me.on 7/26/2016, i called for an appointment to replace the air bag - in response to a letter i had received from honda.i was switched to the parts department, where i was informed the part is on back order, and they will call me when it is in.the letter also advisedthat i avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger seat until recall repair was completed.as of august 26, 2016, i have not yet been called, and i cannot transport any passengers in my vehicle.this incident has interfered substantially with my use and enjoyment of my vehicle, and it is taking an inordinate amount of time to repair.i believe i should be reimbursed for the vehicle loss of use as well as having the air bag inflator repaired.

Takata recall13 august 2016 (6:45 pm)i received notification from the honda recall department by mail on friday, july 22, 2016 that the passenger airbag on my 2007 honda civic needed to be replaced and that parts would not be available until late summer or fall. The notice specified that i should not allow anyone to ride in the front passenger seat. I immediately called the customer service recall line at (888) 234-2138) and informed the support technician that my husband is a permanently disabled veteran (major usar retired) who cannot ride in the back seat because of his disability and who now cannot ride in the front seat due to the risk of the the airbag deploying. The support technician said she would escalate a request for a loaner car and that a case manager would contact me within 2-3 business days. This call never came. I called the honda recall line again on saturday, july 29, 2016; i received an apology and was again told that a second request would be put through and that a case manager would contact me in 2-3 business days. Again, no call came. During this period my husband and i were forced to rent a car for four days in order to visit his 93-year old mother for her birthday. I called the honda recall line again on wednesday, august 10, 2016. I received another apology, and this time the support technician transferred me to the escalations department. The person i spoke to said that she would put a flag on the loaner request that specified the request was a "medical emergency." four weeks have passed since my first request. My husband and i need nhtsa to intervene on our behalf to get a loaner/rental vehicle from honda as soon as possible so that we can resume our normal daily activities without fear of injury.finally, if nhsta can offer us some advice on whom to contact for congressional support, please do so. Thank you.
Takata recallrecall specifically states "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed."when i contacted honda they said it would be approximately 3 weeks before the parts were in and the repair could be performed.when i requested alternate transportation until the repair could be performed, since i have passengers in my car the majority of the time, i was told that honda is not covering a loaner car as part of the recall

Takata recall- it has been 60+ days since the recall was issued and honda tells me that they have no idea when parts will be in.they have failed to assign me a case manager to review my rental request in a timely manner.we have 4 passengers daily in this car (2 adults in front, 2 small children in large car seats in the back).we cannot travel safely as this is our only car.we cannot simply avoid having someone sit in the passenger seat.we need a rental which honda said they will provide in this type of situation but they have not timely assigned us a case manager to review our request.they have admitted no eta on the parts.they told us we can rent our own car, but we can't afford that with no end date in sight.they stated we are not as important as the driver side recall.they have not remedied the defect in a reasonable period of time.i have made a repair appointment but no eta on parts.please help me.i have been experiencing panic attacks and have needed medical attention for the anxiety this has caused in my daily life, for the past 2 months.thank you.

After the recall，my side air bag has problem and need to be replaced due to the airbag light on and dealer checking. I wonder if this is due to the air bag quality issues.
On wednesday, june 11, 2008 i was driving from mar vista, ca to san leandro, ca with my 4 year old son and 20 year old sister in law. We were on the 580 w driving in the far left lane at 65mph at 11:30 am when we heard an explosion in the rear of the car. The car began veering toward the right. I tried to pull over into the emergency lane, but the car keep veering toward the right and we hit the center divide. The car was perpendicular to the divide. The air bags did not deploy.we were probably traveling at 45mph when we hit the center divide.i am very concerned that the airbags did not deploy. My car is a 2007 honda civic coupe ex and it had about 8300 miles. I purchased the car in july 2007. The crash caused significant damage to the front left side of my car. The car is now at a body shop and is being repaired in san leandro, ca.

Takata recall: we received our recall notice earlier this year for a defective airbag system. We were told replacement parts would be available by summer/early fall. It is december 14 and we are still waiting. In the meantime we have to drive our car, cannot use the passenger side, which is a major inconvenience, and are worried and fear for our safety with this vehicle while we wait. This is ridiculous and we are extremely fed up with the situation. Not only this, but we are classified as a high risk due to the part of the country we live in (georgia) and are supposed to receive priority treatment due to our heat and high humidity, which are apparently a factor with the defective airbag(s). Every time we call our local dealership, they state they do not have parts available yet. Please help!
Air bag was inoperative due to crimp in wire harness on passenger side. There was a honda bulletin on this problem that effected similar models. I paid $1300 to replace defective air bag wire harness due to poor workmanship. It was a safety issue that had to be corrected. I contacted honda for reimbursement, whichhonda refused, even though it was a known safety issue problem.
Takata recall:i would like to file a complaint regarding a honda dealership that has failed to help with my recall. I contacted the honda of serramonte when i first got a letter in the mail in october 2016. Since then i have called twice and they told me it may take a month to get the parts in onced i have ordered it, which i did. I then called after another two months and they forwarded me to the person that is in charge of the recall. She only had a voicemail and i left one for her. Each time i called, i got forwarded from person to person and no one really helping me deal with the issue. Everyday i'm driving around worried that if something happens with my airbag, how will i have a record of reporting it to the dealership to get it fixed.dealership485 serramonte blvdcolma, ca 94014phone number (650) 758-4800
On wednesday, june 11, 2008 i was driving from mar vista, ca to san leandro, ca with my 4 year old son and 20 year old sister in law. We were on the 580 w driving in the far left lane at 65mph at 11:30 am when we heard an explosion in the rear of the car. The car began veering toward the right. I tried to pull over into the emergency lane, but the car keep veering toward the right and we hit the center divide. The car was perpendicular to the divide. The air bags did not deploy.we were probably traveling at 45mph when we hit the center divide.i am very concerned that the airbags did not deploy. My car is a 2007 honda civic coupe ex and it had about 8300 miles. I purchased the car in july 2007. The crash caused significant damage to the front left side of my car. The car is now at a body shop and is being repaired in san leandro, ca.
I am the only owner of my 2005 honda civic lx.at 62,000 the air bag light came on and wouldn't turn off.took it to the honda dealership in battle creek, michigan.they determined it was the srs control unit that controls the air bags.i asked if it was covered under warranty and they said no.i said the safety features of this vehicle have a lifetime warranty.they told me it only covered the seatbelt buckles.i told them i thought this was a safety issue.they said no, and it would be $800 for the part alone, no labor, payable up front.i took it to my mechanic, who sent it in to be rebuilt.the unit was so far gone, that it couldn't even be rebuilt.i was without my airbags for approximately 3 months while all of this was going on.the place of business that rebuilt the control unit stated they have had many honda civic srs control units sent in.i think this a huge safety issue, and a recall should be done.
I was in a car accident on july 11, 2008 and rear ended the back of someone's care while i was going 35 miles an hour. My brakes locked up and my airbags did not deploy. I was treated at the emergency room for a chest contusion and a sprained neck. My car is in the shop awaiting a diagnostic test to see why my brakes and airbags did not work and it is also getting a repair.

I have a 2007 honda civic ex with 43k miles on it. Recently my srs light came on. I went to the dealership i purchased the new car from and they diagnosed it and said i needed to replace my passenger side airbag. I find this absurd since the car is 3 years old and to top it off, i missed the warranty by 6k miles. I had the repair done because i failed my safety inspection and the cost was $595, not including the $89 fee to diagnose it.i've done some research on this problem and have noticed a slew of customer complaints with very similar problems.
On 2/2009 i was rear ended in my 2007 honda civic si during a low speed accident (5mph) the repairs completed were a new rear bumper cover and paint by a honda dealer body shop. About 11 months later the airbag light would flick on and off on the dash. During warranty repair work to 3rd gear issues (1/2010) that i've now had multiple times, i asked that honda look into the airbag light. They replaced what they said was a bad sensor in the rear bumper. 5 months later, on 6/22/2010 during the 3rd gear issue being fixed again, the airbag light was randomly coming on again. Once more, i asked that honda look into this. They informed me that it was a faulty sensor again and they would have to replace it, if that didn't work, they would need to replace a flooring harness. All airbag sensor work done has been paid for by the insurance company involved in the accident on 2/2009. On 7/30/2010 while driving home from work, the side impact and side curtain airbags deployed on the driver's side, causing damage to the inside of the vehicle and minor injuries to myself (jaw pain, sore ribs, and ear ache) luckily, i was able to maintain control of the vehicle and pull over in a safe location. After talking to multiple people, i was advised to report this incident to the nhtsa.
Air bag failure.
I collided with an suv. Both cars were proceeding from a full stop and probably weren't doing more than 15 mph. Although the passenger side air bag deployed, itwas so slow that ifthere had been a passenger the bag would have been completely useless. Although the other driver's insurance paid for the repair, the cost of my repair alone came to some 4 thousand dollars, i'm told mostly due to the cost of the air bag.what's the point of a useless air-bag that costs the earth to repair and deploys so slowly as to do nothing to prevent injury in the event of an accident?
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while traveling at various speeds, the compressor and the battery failed intermittently. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer. The technician determined that there was an electrical short which required further diagnosis. The dealer was waiting for instruction from the manufacturer to remedy the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 18,500.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While the vehicle was being repaired, the technician noticed that the dc converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but stalled without warning months later. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the voltage converter needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v106000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 203,000.
My 2007 civic hybrid is experiencing a problem with the ima. As i am driving, the battery charge will be reduced to zero or one bars. I drive with the flow of traffic and normally do not exceed 55 mph. This normally occurs within the first 15 minutes of driving my car. It is most noticeable when starting from a dead stop. The car accelerates extremely sluggishly and the rpm's reach around 4500 to approach the speed limit (50 mph). Gas mileage when this occurs drops to about 20-25 mph.i have taken this car into the dealership for repairs on 4 separate occasions to get this repaired. The dealership has been unable to reproduce the problem and has made minimal attempts to try and repair the car. The only repair attempt made was to reset the computer in the car. This has accomplished nothing and the problem is still ongoing.this could become a much more serious problem when trying to make a left turn or when trying to merge.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact was driving 40 mph when the ima battery warning light illuminated and the vehicle stalled without warning.the vehicle would not restart for a minimum of six hours and the vehicel was taken to the dealer. The dealer stated that there were bad codes that caused the vehicle to stall. The dealer reprogrammed the vehicle but the failure recurred. The dealer then replaced the ecm and pcm. The contact stated that the problem was with the ima battery since one of the codes from the diagnostic test read that the ima code was faulty. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 11v106000 (electrical system) and called the manufacturer but was advised that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 74,000.
Ima battery deterioration and/or ima battery draining resulting in little power/pickup.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid.while driving 15 mph, the vehicle lost power and slowed down.occasionally, the vehicle would slow down and restart itself before coming to a complete stop.on one occasion, the vehicle came to a complete stop and shut off.the battery had to be replaced in order for the vehicle to restart.the vehicle was taken to the dealer twice.the first time they replaced the regular battery.the second time they were unable to find any failures.the vin was unknown.the current and failure mileages were 34,000.
My vehicle is a 2007 civic hybrid. When its warm out and / or i have several people in the car the hybrid system will shut down. When this happens the car loses its ability to accelerate at an acceptable level. A few times i have attempted to merge into oncoming traffic and the car had so little power that all i could do was pull into the path of the oncoming traffic and not accelerate enough to get out of the way.
Note: i wish i had found this site years ago. I could not get past fords "brick wall" to speak to an engineer!1. 1997 aerostar - accelerator pedal was pressed down quickly to pass (2 lane highway).2. Now in the left lane, not far ahead of passed the car - i experienced a complete loss of power - hard right over to soft shoulder - avoided an oncoming head on collision - l just missed the car being passed by inches andstopped. The crimped end of cableto the carburetor had released from the accelerator pedal.3. I clamped the cable back onto the pedal with vice grips. (drove to dealer). Ford replaced the cable. That problem has not happened again. (i do not press down hard either!)
I have a 2007 honda civic hybrid.i have noticed that the battery is suddenly drained of its charge during hot weather when i am at a stop. This caused me to pull out into traffic with literally no acceleration.this has led me to almost being called by oncoming traffic on a couple different occasions.i know honda is aware of this happening as they have sent out a notice to have the battery software updated saying that the battery is being drained and deteriorating over time.i think that they know that this is a major safety issue and they are not admitting it.honda has to be held responsible to provide a fix for this situation before someone gets killed if they haven't already.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact stated after receiving notification of nhtsa campaign id number: 11v106000 (electrical system) the contact called the dealer to set an appointment for recall repairs. The dealer advised that the parts needed for repairs would not become available for two weeks. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed the dealer's information. The manufacturer then suggested calling several different dealers to determine if the part was in stock. The contact was concerned that the failure described in the recall could cause a crash and stated that the manufacturer should have all parts available. The contact did not experience a failure. The current mileage was 82,000.
This is regarding a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The ima system/electric battery is not working as it used to. Recently there was a service bulletin issued by honda to have the ima software updated at any honda dealership. The service bulletin dealt with the issue of the electric battery not charging properly and no/minimal assist from the ima system when accelerating. There is no change in how the car is performing after the software update and the mpg has gone down from 42 to 32 mpg. The electric battery is not charging as it used to initially and there is hardly any assist when accelerating. My wife and i have almost gotten into really bad accidents when trying to merge on the freeway. Without any assistance from the electric battery, the car has literally no acceleration. On a few occasions we were almost run over by semi's because we couldn't merge with the traffic fast enough. I've reported this issue to multiple dealerships in bay area ca but they insisted there is no problem with the hybrid batteries. They state that if there is a problem then a warning light should come up on the dashboard indicating the problem. I don't know why the light is not coming on but i proved to multiple dealers that the battery charge does not hold. They saw how the car was behaving but said they were not able to do anything till the vehicle's onboard computer indicated that there was an issue with the ima system. I then contacted honda usa and reported the issue. They were polite but declined any help. They also said that the car has an onboard computer that displays an error if there is an issue. I told them that this problem can cause fatal accidents on the highway because the car does not have any power and it is not fit to be driven on the highway but honda usa said that they were not aware of any such issue. I strongly feel that they are aware of the issue and even tried to correct it via the latest software update but it didn't work and they're not willing to replace the battery.
Under humid conditions, the main battery of this hybrid suddenly drains, leaving the car without the electric motor.in this vehicle, this means that there is very limited torque (normally supplied by the electric motor).this first occurred in the summer of 2007 and has continued with increasing frequency to the present time.this brought to the attention of the selling dealership (southern motors of savannah) in august of 2007 and at the end of september of the same year.they claimed they could find nothing wrong despite being shown photographic evidence of the failure.the car was returned to the dealership on august 8, 2008 with further proof of the problem.the have claimed that they contacted american honda and were told that honda was aware of the problem but had found no solution.the car was returned to me on august 27, 2007 with the condition unresolved.
The 2007 honda civic hybrid battery loses its ability to hold a charge leaving the vehicle without the assist that should be coming from the electric motor to supplement the gasoline engine. It can drop its charge at any time and is dangerous when the vehicle operator expects the assist such as freeway merging and there is no assist.
My 2007 honda civic hybrid is frequently sluggish and doesn't accelerate as rapidly as i was used to when it performed better. Now, when i'm turning left in front of oncoming traffic or merging into high speed traffic i never know if my car will accelerate quickly enough or not. I've taken it to honda multiple times and they always say it's fine. More recently i realized it was because it wasn't getting its previous level of battery assist because the battery is performing much worse than it used to. I reluctantly did the softward update honda is recommending to extend battery life, but have since realized it is probably making the issue worse.this problem has been going on for one year, or slightly more. I've taken it to honda 5 times. It happens approximately once or twice per day that i don't accelerate with the car's full power.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact stated that he had an ima battery in the vehicle that would not charge in hot weather. The vehicle also began to accelerate without warning. The dealer was contacted and stated that they have been updating the software in the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that there was nothing wrong with the battery. There have been no repairs just software updates. The vin is not available. The failure mileage was 43000 and the current mileage is 45500.updated 10/21/10. *ljupdated 10/26/10
Honda civic hybrid ima no assist or lack of assist and mileage reduction after ima software recall update.i had no issues prior to the ima recall software update performed at the dealer.the car seems to now use less electric motor power to accelerate or to go up hills.this can become dangerous in certain situations.also the car has seen a decrease in fuel economy of 16% city and 24% highway.contacted 2 different honda dealerships and they both said some people have the same issues but honda does not have a solution for them.called honda motor corp. Directly to try to get warranty fix or at least for them to uninstall the ima sw update and they said they cannot do that.they will not replace my battery which is still under the 8 year warranty or resolve my sw update issues.it seems with so many people having an issue someone like the government should step in and force honda to rectify the issues for free rather than having people waste their time going to small claims court or filing a class action suit.
Honda civic hybrid 2007 has worse mpg (28mpg on average) than its non-hybrid twin or other comparable models, after the new software for integrated motor assist was installed by honda dealership. When i bought the car it was marked with 45mpg average.my battery seems to have been damaged as it does not hold charge.
My 2007 honda civic hybrid ima battery is discharging/recalibrating randomly causing loss of power.prior to this date i had taken it to the dealership to try and find a problem since this began occurring frequently and was a new issue with the car.no problems were found.on this date, the ima battery discharged while making a left at an intersection, power was drained, a car almost hit me because my car could not accelerate fast enough to get out of the way.given that this happens randomly there is no way to predict when a recalibration/discharge will happen. It has since been taken back to the dealer multiple times.because there is no error code indicating there is a problem they are refusing to work on it even though the car is still 100% under warranty.many others have experienced the same issue with the batteries and the car power loss.those that have been lucky enough to getthe ima battery replaced have reported the car back to normal working conditions.i should note, that when i first got my car the discharge/recalibration would happen once every several months.this number has been increasing rapidly and now the vehicle does this at least four times a week.in february it did it two times a week, and about 7 months ago it started doing it once a week.themore this occurs the more i am at risk for an accident.the car simply does not have power to get out of the way and because it is such a drastic change from normal operating conditions the driver cannot compensate.honda is refusing to acknowledge there is an issue and has been completely unresponsive to my concerns.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. While driving approximately 5 mph uphill, the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts with no illumination of the battery warning symbol. The failure usually occurred when driving uphill and had been experienced at least ten times intermittently. The contact stated she received a software update notification letter from the manufacturer but did not have the updates performed. The dealer was contacted and the service manager informed the contact that the update could hurt the fuel mileage significantly. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.updated 05/04/11
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the vehicle overheated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for inspection and diagnostic testing. An independent mechanic inspected and diagnosed the vehicle. The manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from an unknown recall campaign and provided no solution. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000. **updated 08/31/17*lj
2007 honda civic hybrid lost electric motor assist power in may 2010 when i was driving up a hill in downtown seattle traffic.took it to honda dealer, who confirmed low power assist and (without conferring with me) reprogrammed the power assist software and pronounced it fixed.one or two days after this service call, i again noticed weak electric motor assist on another hill in downtown traffic.took the car to honda again, and they confirmed that they could replicate the anemic power condition, but said that honda usa says the vehicle is operating as intended with the computer software update, and that there is no more to be done.i said that i had lost confidence in the automobile, since i consider it a driving hazard not to be able to accelerate adequately in some driving conditions.i said that i wanted honda to buy back the car, but the dealer service manager said that honda wouldn't do that.i have purchased another car, but still own the honda civic hybrid; i don't know what to do with it, since i don't feel good offering it to anyone other than honda for sale.
2007 civic si sedan w/ premium sound system: only when the engine is running, and the radio is turned, all speakers emit a buzzing sound, whether the volume of the radio is all the way down or casually listening. You can hear the buzzing sound and it its very unpleasant. It occurs all the time the car is on and driving, or idling. When to dealer said they could not do anything about it since honda has not released a tsb for the problem.
I bought a brand new honda civic ex. The car seems to hesitate/freezes while driving at random times. Sometimes when starting the car, sometimes while driving. Obviously if i'm pulling into traffic and the car freezes this could become very dangerous. I took the car back to the dealer and contacted the manufacturer. They stated after 2 attempts to fix it that the car is fine and the symptom is a "normal characteristic of the vehicle." this being the case, i figure i should report this incident.

H2007 honda civic hybrid. Battery has failed and car does not have enough power to merge onto freeway.
I received a letter from american honda corp. Stating that i needed to get a software update on my 2007 honda civic hybrid ima battery. I took the car to my local dealer and since the update has been installed the car is dangerous to drive when entering the freeway. The failure to accelerate happens everytime i enter the freeway. The consequences of this failure is that cars behind come up on me very fast and i have no power to get in the flow of traffic. It has little acceleration to match traffic flow. It seems the car is mostly operating on the small engine and has little assist from the battery,since the update has been installed.i called american honda they said there was no problem with the update on the performance of the car and they would not do anything regarding myconcerns.i feel this car is an accident waiting to happen. As well ,honda said they will not change the warranty on the battery even though they have changed how the battery operates since they have installed the update. I ask you to consider telling honda to recall this car and make it safe to drive. I want my car to run the way it did before the software was installed. A side complaint is that the good gas mileage i got on a tank of gas as dropped considerably since the update..thank you for your consideration on taking on this complaint..p.s. There has been no accident. I filed this complaint so that there is none in the future. The incident date of august 11,2010 is the date the new software was installed in my car.
My 2007 honda civic hybrid would lose its battery charge and it would take 2 to 3 miles of driving to recharge the battery. During this recharging time there is no assist from the electric motor which is suppose to aid the gas engine when more power is needed such as merging into traffic or making a left turn with on coming traffic. The official name of the battery losing its charge is called a recalibrating. It had happened to me about every 5 to 8 miles of driving but it is random and can happen at the most inopportune time. The battery pack is causing the problem as it is deteriorating. Even though i still had warranty coverage in the 3yr/36000 coverage, honda refused 5 times to replace the battery.the honda civic hybrid should not be sold when this is happening to so many owners. Yes, the car operates without the electric motor assist but when you are expecting more power for the maneuver you are going to do and the recalibrating kicks it in it can be very dangerous! i used the better business bureau auto line and had my problem arbitrated and the decision was my car was a lemon and honda had to repurchase it. The arbitrator ruled the car a lemon and one reason was it was not safe to drive in all normal driving situations! get this car off the road. This is my second complaint about this matter. For the first complaint i did not have the lemon law decision but now i do and this car is officially declared a lemon.
I was almost in a serious accident as i went to make a right hand turn, and the car only accelerated at about 1/4 of its normal pace.i had to look down to make sure my foot was on the gas.when this acceleration failure occurred, the battery showed no charge, but it had shown almost a full charge when i first started the car, just a few minutes earlier.my car now cannot hold a charge at all.i park it fully charged, and when i start, it shows fully charged.within the first mile of driving, it drops to 1 or no bars.it then has trouble accelerating, as the car cannot pull from the ima and it tries to charge the ima, instead of accelerating.this failure is now occurring daily.it is very difficult to drive to work, as i don't know when i can merge onto interstate and if the car will fail.it is usually fine after about 10 miles of driving, but my commute is only 12 miles, so i would say this makes a very large % of my commute dangerous.the service department updated software, but this has not improved the situation at all.i am keeping a journal of these daily activities, as the ima is still under warranty.my gas mileage dropped 20% over the past year, even though i do use ethanol free gas.this was the first indication there was a problem with the ima, but honda simply gave me the brush off everytime i expressed a concern that this was an early sign that something was wrong.

Original owner.after ima battery software upgrade owner now experiences random loss of battery power level.battery indicator randomly falls to 1 bar and during this time, sluggish to poor acceleration, especially in highway merge situations placing owner is dangerous situations.when battery charged at least 50%, acceleration is acceptable as the ima assist in acceleration.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the contact stated that once the vehicle was powered off and the key was removed from the ignition, the vehicle would fail to restart. The contact could restart the vehicle if the key was not removed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the ignition switch needed to be replaced.the vehicle was not repaired.

On october 28, 2020, i was driving on a city street to work, when i heard a loud pop and saw a bright flash. All the dash lights came come then after a second everything shut off. The car stopped, but still rolling i pulled into a parking lot. I tried to open the door, but i couldn't. The locks would not move, on either door. Not manually. I was trapped inside. Thank goodness the car didn't start a fire, because i would not be able to get out. Not by opening the doors manually. The metal pole that holds the hood up came loose somehow and hit the battery, which made a short and shut everything down. Regardless, the car should unlock manually if the power locks don't work. I couldn't unlock from inside by pulling the handle or the locks would not move/open.
The ima battery pack in my 2007 honda civic hybrid failed at 68,000 miles.prior to the failure, on one occasion the engine shut down at a stop sign and had to be restarted.the battery failure occurred while my wife was driving the car on a freeway and the failure resulted in a considerable drop in power, but the car continued to run on the gasoline engine alone.honda previously installed a software update in the vehicle apparently to address battery issues.honda is replacing the battery pack under warranty.
Since i have gotten the ima battery upgrade the car battery completely discharges randomly several times a day. When the battery discharges the car looses a significant amount of its acceleration. It frequently looses all bars on the battery gauge, signifying a recalibration event. When this happens, the car is unable to accelerate at a reasonable speed since the hybrid system is trying to charge the battery instead of accelerating the car. In addition, you have to drive slowly and avoid any situations that may require quick acceleration while this is occurring or else you might be involved in an accident. I have had three incidents since this upgrade where i have nearly had accidents due to this problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact received notification from the dealer to bring his vehicle in for servicing where they performed an ima service upgrade. After the servicing, the contact stated the electric motor assist did not work. Both the dealer and manufacture were contacted who informed the contact that the software upgrade could not be undone. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 59,000. The failure mileages was approximately 56,000.
Purchased 2007 honda civic new.had issue with passenger side airbag light on2008.had dealer fix.light came on 2009. Had dealer fix.light came back on 2010. Now vehicle warranty period expired. Did not worry because passenger side air only and my son drive mostly by himself.light have been on ever since. Brought car back to dealer for recall of airbags 7/2016.had dealer look at side airbag light again.they tell me the i had a faulty floor harness and all my airbags will not work and cost of repair after discount to be $1600.i call american honda on 8/1 to see if they will cover cost of repair.they did not.base on my research, i feel this is very unfair.2007 honda civic have this problem side airbag light issue code 32-10.i think my car faulty harness issue was there when i purchased the car new and it cause side airbag light to come on constantly and why the repair never lasted more than a few months. This is a safety issue same as with the seat belt and american honda should cover cost of repair.american honda has service notice concerning this problem with the honda civic only.my mileage is 85080 at this time.
2007 honda civic hybrid has issues with the brakes and power.*njthe consumer stated the brakes were not braking properly.the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer to have the brakes inspected, but after inspecting the brakes and road testing, they stated the vehicle was performing normal.the consumer continued to have braking issues, and after almost having a collision due to decreased braking ability, she again contacted the dealer. They tested the brakes again, and found no problem. The brakescontinued to fail about once a week. The dealer evaluated the vehicle. The dealer stated a report from honda stated the ima will stop charging and stop with assisted braking if temperatures are too high and that it is normal for the customer to feel a difference in braking without regeneration. Honda advised that the consumer drive with the windows down and when she parked the vehicle to leave them down as well to help cool off the hybrid batteries which were located behind the seat.the dealer contacted the consumer because they wanted to perform a computer upgrade on her vehicle. The report also stated updated ima control unit and battery software. The consumer drove for several weeks and noted some improvement with the braking issue, but now the ima batteries will not stay charged, and if the battery level goes below 4 bars, which is 1/2 of full bars or a completely charged battery, the vehicle's power is greatly decreased to the point of having to travel at speeds of 15-20 mph for 15 seconds after being stopped at a red light.
The srs light on my honda was on for the past month. This is a known issue that is affecting lots of honda civics of 2006 and 2007 that honda refuses to acknowledge. The wiring harness has to be replaced and the passenger side weight sensor, which is close to a $2000 repair. When i asked honda corporate (customer service [xxx] at 800-999-1009) i was arrogantly told they do not care because the car is outside of warranty. It is disgraceful that honda markets safety in their vehicles, but does not stand behind their srs system failing prematurely. This is not a wear and team item and no one sits in my car besides me. There should be a safety recall on this since airbags will not deploy whether or not we wear seat belts.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On august 18, 2010 my 2007 honda civic caught fire in my driveway.at about 10:30pm i looked out my bedroom window to see if i put the driver's window up and discovered that my car was on fire. Flames where coming from the right front fender/passenger side mirror area. When i got closer to the car i could see a clear-yellow-ish flame that was burning a whole in the fender from the inside out. I had called 911, but i was nervous about the car being so close to the house and i put out the fire myself. The damage was relatively minor and the car was repaired.originally, the insurance company said that a faulty wiring harness caused the fire. They later stated that the cause was undetermined. There is another report of a 2007 civic catching fire due to a faulty wiring harness on this site.
This morning, i left work and tried to turn on the windshield wipers.they would not work.
During a routine oil change 'equipment inspection' was informed the third brake light was 'burned out'.as this is a multi-light led, the probability of the all the led to have failed was suspicious. Dealer rep was very sure entire unit required replacement and quoted a price of nearly $200 for repair of a piece of safety equipment.deferred repair to further investigate. Web search shows this is a extremely common occurrence on 2007 and later civics.problem is not the led but the solder joints on the assembly which fail frequently.as this is a design deficiency in a piece of safety equipment, one would expect a recall to correct.apparently as the problem requires 'immediate' repair in most states with annual safety inspections, it has not garnered sufficient traction with nhtsa to warrant action. (note: actual fail date/mileage is unknown).
Own a 2007 honda civic hybrid.after about one year of ownership, the car started exhibiting troubling characteristics with the power management and available power.the car relies on a gas engine and electric assist to provide full power in all driving situations.during the summer when teperatures rise, the car starts to have difficulty providing power from the electric motor due to the battery crashing to 0.once the battery "recalibrates" the car provides very little power using only the gas engine.this battery crash happens on a daily basis and means in the real world that when i am pulling out into traffic i may have very little power to get the car up to speed and risk getting hit by oncoming traffic.to say the car becomes "sluggish" is an overstatement.honda has been unwilling to address this issue and it appears that the ar has a material defect that prevents the batteries from operating as intended in real world situations.when the air conditioner is in operation the battery will crash each time you drive the car.i feel very unsafe in this vehicle and honda is doing nothing to address the complaints.

The vehicle's hybrid ima system (integrated motor assist) has been steadily deteriorating since approximately 40000 miles, but became hazardous at around 63000. Current mileage is 78500. The hybrid battery system must recharge so frequently that battery assist is available less than half the time. When assist is unavailable, acceleration is dangerously low, making common driving situations such as left turns, freeway onramps, and merging into traffic unpredictable and quite hazardous. Honda's only response has been a series of ineffective software updates. Honda will not replace the battery under warranty unless a warning light appears. Yet even the current severely degraded performance of the battery does not trigger that warning light. I have been in several "near miss" situations when acceleration was so sluggish that i was nearly unable to evade a dangerous traffic situation.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the contact stated that once the vehicle was powered off and the key was removed from the ignition, the vehicle would fail to restart. The contact could restart the vehicle if the key was not removed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the ignition switch needed to be replaced.the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.the vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 66,378.
Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission.i patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution.honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably caused by my driving, the problem with the vehicle going into third gear is a known problem and there is a technical service bulletin that honda corporate has released for the exact problem.the headliner rattles, door gasket seal has been coming off since purchase, suspension popping noise in the front passenger side strut since purchase and the sound has become more frequent, the driver side visor was defective and was replaced, the driver door hits the fender when opening just started happening since honda worked on my vehicle.i have been taking my vehicle to two different dealerships (recommended by honda corporate) and nothing has been properly repaired.i feel as though i have been given the run around for the past year.honda has made several attempts to repair the problems and has not been able to, they have only damaged my vehicle during their attempts to repair it.they have damaged the front bumper three times, the side of the vehicle once, the door and fender once.they of course denied any involvement in the damage, then repair it under warranty.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact stated that the electrical battery, or the ima system, would not hold an electrical charge. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that if a light did not illuminate within the instrument panel stating there was a failure with the vehicle, they were unable to assist. The manufacturer was contacted stating that a warning light should have illuminated indicating a failure and if not, they were unable to provide any assistance.the failure mileage was 56,000.

I had the software updated in my 07 civic hybrid in august 2010.since the update the car has no electric assist when the battery is half full or less.my battery is in this state at least half of the time and honda tells me that it is normal and that the lack of power when accelerating is the result of the update.this has made the car feel very unsafe to drive, especially when pulling onto the highway.i was almost rear ended the last week in august pulling on the highway because my car had no pickup as a result of this update.
My honda civic hybridis not safe please help . My 07 honda civic hybrid has a problem with the ima battery most times it indicates no charge very very very dangerous . One example i came to a turn signal to turn left there were aprrox 3 cars ahead of me the signal light turned green the cars ahead of me went my turn i accelerated no power my car creeped thru the intersection as i started my turn the signal light was yellow then turned red for me and green for the oncoming traffic i thought i was going to get hit on my passenger side . This was not the first time it happened but one of the most dangerous ones. Please help!
After battery upgrade due to honda recall notice, the 2007 civic hybrid battery does not hold its charge as well as it used to. This is dangerous in icy conditions, as accelerating is slow. It's also dangerous entering the expressway and making a quick left turn. If i expect the car to perform as it doe when the battery is working, i end up barely getting up to speed in time. I'm hesitant to contact honda for a fix because of reports that this makes the problem worse and also decreases mpgs.
Takata air bag failed recall! my 2007 honda civic sedan has an inflator malfuction located in the driver side rear that keeps the airbag light on at all times. Ive taken it to valley high honda 2differant occasions. 2009, 2016 the dealer said they wont fix it, i should go to pick a part. Honda america also told me they wont fix it. Not covered under warranty! the bags are not in working order due to the light being on and will not deploy if involved in an accident! i thought safety was #1 priority for honda? i have all my documentation showing my multiple visits. My wife and children travel in this car daily. I would like some help fixing this so my family will be protected if in an accident.i received a recall notice but the dealer said its not covered. I am writing this complaint after receiving an auto airbag settlement card in the mail. I purchased the vehicle used from valley high honda in 2007. The vehicle has never been involved in an accident while i have been the owner. I was told it wasnt in one prior to my purchase.i was informed by the samedealer that the inflator wiring was damaged and came disconnected from the inflator switch and that i was at fault. ?i recently have moved and dont have all my docuents readily available, so i havent attached them yet. The airbag light had began coming on shortly after or near the time of my purchase of the car. I will send or attach my little bit of information/documents as soon as i can get settled and locate it.
On my 2007 honda civic hybrid the ima battery will suddenly drop from a charge to no charge. When this happens the car loses almost all acceleration power because the gasoline engine is forced to charge the battery up. This has happened to me during acceleration onto major highways during rush hour which is extremely dangerous without acceleration power. I would like honda motor to address this issue instead of issuing software recalls that do nothing to the car.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact stated that in august 2010, the dealer reprogrammed the computer which caused the vehicle to lose power and not accelerate normally. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer who stated that the reprogramming was the cause of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.
Got into the car one night in the winter of 2009, and the headlamps would not operate.
-the contact stated that the 2007 honda civic lx was registering the wrong mileage on the odometer.the contacttookthe vehicle to the dealership, and was informed that there wereproblemswith odometer. They informed her that there was a class action lawsuit going on, but her vehicle didn't apply.the lawsuit was for consumers with odometerproblems.the contact felt thatthisvehicle should be part of thelaw suit.she stated that the odometer reading in thevehiclewas 750 miles which was not accurate. Update 04/17/07
2007 honda civic with several problems. Consumer states that the fuses had no protective cover under the driver side dash. Steering was not aligned and the air conditioner was blowing hot air. And odometer is not registering properly.
This is a notification of a defect before it becomes a failure which causes accident or loss of life.i have repeatedly returned my 2007 honda civic si sedan for service (4 times) for a defect in the front suspension which could cause strut failure.the problem is unresolved.internet research indicates many other owners (2006-07 model year) with the same problem.the consumer stated battery is dead if vehicle is not run for 5 or more days updated 12/12/07
Popping noise while turning at 5,268 miles.replaced two tires at 19,785 miles.need a front end axle replacementat 31,839.diagnosed and adjusted torqued rear suspension noise at 60,136.replaced rear upper control arms 61,275.replaced shocks, and cv boots at 61,275.struts were making noise due to cupping.struts were replaced at 61,275.two new tires that were recently replaced were replaced again.both tires were feathered and making noise.vehicle is maintained in good condition and is following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendation.car was aligned as required by manufacturer.however, cupping or feathering of the tires still happened.when the rear control arm was not replaced yet, the rear noise was so loud and driving was bad.the tires felt flat and the shock absorber did not seem to be working.it is very hard to deal with both honda america and kolbe dealer.both companies tried to play ignorant of the issues although they knew it all along.i spent $1,419.11 for premature expenses.american honda blamed the premature damages to me.american honda nor kolbe honda did not notify me of the technical bulletins that were issued.also, just because there is a technical bulletin or corrective action does not mean that the problem will go away.design of the rear upper control arm must be reviewed again and tested for geometry with other parts of the vehicle.honda america should tightened its quality control and quality assurance so that its manufacturing facility will not release cars that have defective parts.honda knew very well that the rear upper control arms have design flawed starting with 2002 honda civic.why are they still using this design?is it because they manufactured so much of the wrong parts?the battery, and water pump pulley were replaced, updated 07/16/12

2007 honda civic hybrid. Consumer states problems with vehicle battery *tgw the consumer stated she received a letter from honda motor corp. To visit her dealer for a software update to prevent premature deterioration on the ima battery. The consumer stated she was getting poor gas mileage. She then noticed the vehicle's performance was extremely sluggish.every time she started the vehicle and began driving, the gauge that displayed the ima battery's charge dropped to one bar and there was absolutely no assist from the ima system upon acceleration, which was the process of the battery recalibrating and trying to evaluate if there was enough charge available to assist the internal combustion engine, which could leave the vehicle dangerously under-powered when merging into interstate traffic.the consumer also stated she had difficulty turning left at a busy intersection due to lack of acceleration. The vehicle almost never shut off with the auto-stop feature due to low charge of the ima battery.

The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. While driving approximately 35 mph merging on the interstate he engaged the accelerator pedal and suddenly the acceleration stopped. He also applied extreme pressure to the accelerator pedal but it felt like the acceleration did not increase. The rpms increased; however,the hybrid system was of no assistance. Before he merged onto the interstate he observed the battery pack had five bars. When he felt the acceleration stop, the power gauge dropped from 5 bars to 1 bar rapidly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer five times for the failure. The dealer has performed two software updates on the vehicle. The failure had occurred 6 times since the last software update. The dealer advised him that honda was aware of the failure but does not have a fix and have refused to look at the vehicle. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 64,610.

When engine is warm and car is at idle (either when stopped at traffic light or when parking before shutdown) and you open/close sun roof and/or power windows the rpms dip, car shakes, and engine almost stalls before rpms recover to normal idle.this has happened at least two dozen times and started happening soon after taking delivery.at approx 400 miles car was taken into dealer and dealer was able to reproduce the problem on my vehicle and also reproduced the problem on other new civics on dealer lot.dealer reset pcm and performed idle relearn procedure.this did not resolve the problem.dealer reported to honda engineering and they had no knowledge of issue and offered no advice.additionally at approx 600 miles after car sat unused all dayand when attempting to start later that night, the car did not start on first attempt.on second attempt and after cranking longer than usual for startup, the car started roughly with a jolt and ran rough (car shaking) for 3-5 seconds.
"takata recall".the dashboard warning light has been on consistently since 2017 indicating that the passenger airbag is not functioning.the automatic transmission is not functioning properly.when going downhill, the rpm will increase significantly without using the acceleration pedal.both sun visors are broken...each side came apart from the opposite side.the cd player quit working in 2016.the air conditioner quit working in 2016.

Consumer states that the vehicle (2007 honda civic) will fishtail on the road when slippery. *nj
Engine block cracks and leaking coolant. Our 2007 honda civic started leaking fluid on 12/27/2017. This cause temperature to become red with white smoke coming out of the front hood while i was driving with my wife and 3 month baby. It looks very dangerous to drive. We found out honda had extended the warranty on this to 10 years because of known defects. Unfortunately, i experienced the defect 14 months after my civic's 10 year warranty period. Honda corporate and our local honda dealerships are not willing to honor and fix this defect. The want to charge $5,000 to fix it. This should be a recall as so many people are experiencing this. A car should not be considered unsafe to drive at 11 years old and require $5,000 repair, and pose a risk of endangering a family with a newborn safety.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the engine failed and anti-freeze coolant was leaking from the engine. The vehicle was taken to open road honda (50 us highway 1, edison, new jersey, 732-839-4826) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the warranty for the engine repair had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 250,000.
On august 31, 2017 while i was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly.fortunately i managed to pull over the car to a safe place immediately beside the highway otherwise i would have been in a fatal situation. I had the car towed to the dean honda at pittsburgh where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem.they identified that there was crack in the engine block which has caused the coolant to leak from the engine and hence overheating of the engine has happened.they told me that the engine has to be replaced and few other parts as well (like spark plug etc.) to make the car running again which would cost me around $4000.i did some research over the internet regarding this issue and found that most of the 2006 to 2009 civics had the engine crack issue and tsb 10-048 was issued and the warranty of such engines were extended to 10 years and that would cover the replacement of the engine if such issues are found. I checked with my service consultant at dean honda if this would be covered under the extended warranty. He did a vin inquiry and said the warrant has expired 10 days ago and this won't be covered. (the original purchase date of the car was 22-aug-2007 and this incident happened to me on 31-aug-2017). This is a big blow to me. This is my first car in the us. I bought this car as the second owner in july 2015 with only 36000 miles on it and i have hardly driven 15000 miles over the past two years without any issues.the previous owner also never had any issues with it and that's why i purchased it with confidence. Considering customer's safety, these engines needs to be recalled by honda and replaced with new ones or at least the warranty of these engines needs to be extended further (for at least for 5 more years). I was lucky enough to survive a fatal accident.
In january of 2020 my engine started to overheat, it was lack of coolant of course, so after that incident ihave to check every few days and i have to add more coolant into the vehicle, i have had it checked by three different mechanics and they said there is no leaks, but i keep having to add coolant to the reservoir, and when i don't check after a week the radiator is empty. I have heard about cracked engine blocks in my model, yet hondas website says my vehicle has no recalls. This website says i have nine that have not been repaired. I have tried calling honda and they told me i had to pay for any engine issues since i bought the vehicle outside of the warranty time limit. I really like the car it's a shame.
And request for reimbursement was submitted to american honda motor co., inc. I followed the instructions and eligibility requirements as stated on the card i received in the mail from honda, and submitted the required documentation. The requirements were: complete the attached request for reimbursement formattach a copy of the repair receipt or invoice for the repairattach proof of paymentmail to american honda motor co.,inc.honda is now asking for the serial number on the engine block before they will honor the reimbursement.the eligibility requirement does not state that the serial number is required.the eligibility requirements state:you must have had your vehicle repaired before receiving the notice.you must have owned the vehicle at the time of repair. You are still eligible to receive reimbursement if you no longer own the vehicle, as it was stolen and declared a loss by my insurance company.i no longer have the vehicle to find the serial number on the engine block. I feel honda is not honoring their own reimbursement guidelines. My repair/replacement bill was $4863.49.
2007 honda civic engine block cracked, leaking coolant - honda related to tsb 08-044.
Engine temperature guage started registering hot, radiator fluid was leaking out of engine, vehical was towed to bob sumeral tire,they looked at the car and advised me that the engine block was cracked. Car was towed to a honda dealership. The engine block was defective. It was replaced with new parts. Honda refused to pay for car rentals during the repairs, owner had to absorb cost. 2 week rental time [419.65]
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. American honda of san diego, california was made aware of the failure and stated that the contact would have to pay half of the repair cost because the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 55 mph, smoke appeared from the front of the vehicle and the temperature gauge increased. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, inspected the vehicle, and noticed that the dashboard was wet and coolant was leaking underneath the vehicle. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the engine assembly needed to be replaced. The dealer (herb chambers honda, 1186 commonwealth avenue, boston, ma 02134, (617) 731-0100) was contacted and confirmed that the vin was not included in any recall. The vehicle was not repaired.

I live in arizona and my car is immaculate. I took my car in to have two service bulletins fixed: 3rd gear pops out/ grinds and knocking noise from front when turning. I thought honda dealer or american honda corp. Would come thru and fix what was inadequately designed/built. The dealer treated me like i was an idiot, and honda corp. Said i should have known and reported the problem under warranty. $1700 for 3rd gear, and they denied there was a knocking noise from front end. I didn't even complain about my rear tires wearing badly because they wont wreck my car, like the transmission and engine mount problems. Do they think i'll trade the car into honda, so i wont have to deal with the problems, and buy a new car from them? i like my sporty civic, but no, i wont give them my money. Very disappointed in what use to be a good car company.
Cracked block and leaking coolant--vehicle overheating. Manufacturing defect. Logged a case with honda of north america.
My engine block cracked and now the honda bulletin is saying i'm out of the tsb warranty!!!! i've been quoted well over $5,000 for a new engine and labor!!! please list this as a recall!!!! it is unfair for me the consumer and many others who missed the warranty!! my engine block just cracked today and today i just found out about the 10yr extension from the original purchase date!! honda failed to reach their customers for the possible defective car and now we are stuck to suffer!
When i bought the car it had a blown head gasket. It was fixd, but yesterday the car died on freeway and temp guage shot up. After looking at oil dipstick, it was completely gone. It melted. I had an oil change on the 14th. Could they have forgot to put new oil in? what would cause my car to just die?
Cracked engine block, front passenger 1/2 way down, at even with sound service history, mostly by dealer.
The passenger-side motor mount has collapsed prematurely, causing the engine vibration to be transferred to the frame of the car.this is a fairly common problem with honda civic owners.
Coolant leak behind o2 sensor in the block of r18. Vehicle only has 122,000 miles super low mileage and believed to have a leaking head gasket.
Engine has a crack block.was told there was a recall was never informed
Known issue of cracked engine block happening around 90k-110k miles. Mine just his 95k and the engine block cracked. Honda only offered to fix it at full retail price minimum of$4,000. The car worked great and then stopped working while i was on the highway.
While driving the engine stalled, fumes appeared from under the hood. The car just died in the middle of the highway. We thought we were going to get hit by speeding cars coming from behind. We had to to l tow it to a mechanic and he informed me that the engine block was cracked. At first i didn't believe him, but then another mechanic told me the same thing.
Honda civic 2007 coupeengine block blow out during just a 15 minutes short drive!!! it happens in january when seattle weather is very chilly, my dashboard indicate the temperature of the engine is abnormally hot. Pulled over on a resident street and stop for a while, start engine after 5 minutes, it's even worse. Engine overheated even faster. Have to pull over every single 5 minutes!!! when i got out of the car, coolant all over the floor and obviously i cannot make my way home even it's 15 minutes away from home. Turns out there is a recall (extended warranty) and honda manufacturer and dealership said they will take care of it without me paying from my own pocket. I still need to pay $500usd for the water pump and some parts cause my technician replace it by ourselves before we found out there is a recall/extended warranty. No car rentals available when replacing the engine block due to honda's fault!!!!i wrote my experience here because i want to let other civic users know that they don't need to pay out from their own pocket when their engine block blow out, the dealership that was helping me was not telling me they are gonna do it for free until """i ask them"""!brand new engine block replaced for 6 months now and is running good! however!! i just receive a claim form in my mail box from honda saying there is another recall on the rapid tire wear, wth!?
Engine block crack, coolant leaking.
My car broke down in the middle of the freeway after the engine got overheated. Honda civic 2007 has send a form to reimbursement, and now they are not willing to pay.
As many of the other people, i have a leaking coolant crack in the engine block due to poor casting, thus resulting in the car to dangerously overheat. I have visited a local mechanic and they have confirmed it is a faulty problem among many civics manufactured that generation. The problem others and i encounter is the fact that the car exceeds the 10 year warranty. To make the dilema worse, the honda manufacturing company does guarantee full recompensation. They suggest for one to go in for $100 + inspection that does not completely guarantee aid. The problems i encounter include: an ongoing leak of dangerous coolant liquids while driving/parked, excessive overheating of the engine while driving, and the tear down of parts(coils, cylinders, and spark plugs) due to unstable/worrisome high temperatures. I have overlooked many forums and threads of unhappy honda drivers that are encountering the same problem as i have. The number of complaints found here have increased significantly in recent days. I plead/beg for your assistance! many of the people encountering this problem are of low income, few of which cannot afford repair costs and/or purchasing a new vehicle; we purchase these type of cars for their so-called reliability. In my case, i am a university student who vitally needs a source of transportation. One may argue that public transportation is the solution, but that limits my possibility frontier as i also have to work; public transportation costs time one could be using elsewhere.truth of the matter is that this defect is potentially dangerous to the public. There is high correlation between engine overheating and accidents that are worrisome.
On november 4, 2013, i was driving thru at a mcdonald's when my engine steamed over, spilling antifreeze.i towed it to my brother's house as i was at least 100 miles from home.he applied a coolant pressure tester to the radiator and found a leak coming from the engine block.i had the engine replaced by him.i filed a claim with honda under the recall to get my money back.honda refused to pay the claim, even though recall 10-048 from honda offers to repay customers for their expense by warranty up to 8 years and unlimited mileage.at the time the car was 7 years, 1 month old. I claimed this to honda in august 2015, was denied in september, 2015, reason given was that my brother is not qualified as a professional mechanic to diagnose, but a coolant leak is easy to find with a pressure tester and my brother has worked on engines for years.i am out $1700 from this repair.
Felt very strong vibration in steering wheel. All passengers felt the vibration also. Took vehicle to dealership and a broken motor mount was discovered. Had motor mount replaced for fear of vehicle breakdown.
The car overheated suddenly. The engine block has a crack. 134k miles. Well maintained vehicle. Perfectly good engine cracked.
Our 2007 honda civic is apparently part of the service posting honda sent to its service departments in 2010, but not to its customers, regarding a casting issue with the engine blocks in 2006 through early 2009 civics. With the engine casting issue a perfectly maintained vehicle is still bound to overheat at some point in time because a bad engine block will eventually leak coolant. The unknown customerextended warranty was good for something like 8 years, or maybe 10, i don't know.in the last year i've had 3 coil packs go bad in this civic engine, the water pump replaced and then replaced a second time because the engine kept overheating probably because of the leaking engine block.my daughter was left stranded 3 times on the road because of this engine block casting issue with a foreseen future failure that was hidden from the customer. The last time the car quit she was left stranded on the interstate in a dangerous situation.everything i have read on the internet points to honda only honoring what they want to honor on this know manufacturing problem, and this is only after customers have been overheated, and sometimes left stranded on the road in many cases because the coil packs go bad and do not allow the car to restart and run safely.honda has not been forthright concerning the casting malfunction of the 2006 through early 2009 engine block. They are not actively looking for this leak, and if an engine sneaks past the extended warranty date then all cost is on you.a safety recall needs to be put out on these engines, and honda needs to be forced to do the right thing since to date it looks like they have not been a good corporate citizen.that is a shame, and they should be held accountable since a failed engine block is a $4,500 - $6,000 replacement cost at the dealer, and these engines were always bound to fail as some point in time.
My aunt, purchased this car in 2007.she died in 2015 and our mother purchased the car from the estate.after the purchase we saw the re-call and 10 year extended warranty on the car because of "engine block cracking".we took the car to a dealer who said that since there was no coolant leaking, there was no crack in the block and he could not fix a car that was not in need of repair.the care had 70,000 miles on it at the time.my mom died this february and we again purchased the car from the estate.it had 75,000 miles on it.last week, the engine block started leaking and it was diagnosed with an engine block crack, and that there was nothing we could do about it because it had exceeded the 10 year warranty, even though the car only had 79,000 miles on it.honda should have made a 10 year and 100,000 mile extension.we were penalized because we are low mileage drivers.this is very unfair and should consider a class action law suite.any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.thank you, [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc
Engine block cracked allowing all coolant to drain.the engine shut off, making steering very difficult at interstate speed. Vehicle was disabled on the interstate shoulder barely out of the roadway.engine block got so hot that the head was too warped to be repaired and had to be replaced also.
Engine is overheating because there is a crack in the back of the engine block causing coolant to leak. The vehicle was moving on a city street.
While driving our 2007 honda civic our air conditioner stopped working. Unfortunately when i took the honda in for repair our warranty did not cover the condenser being damaged. A small hole was the culprit of the problem and ironic enough i am not the only one with this problem. Honda needs to fix these issues causing most of their vehicle going in for repairs that cost 500- 1000 to fix. I think it crap and its all over the forums something needs to be put in place to have this situation fixed it crap. Honda needs a recall to be done on these parts.
My 07 civic develop a long crack in the engine block. The honda rep says it my problem because the recall campaign is over. Which i don't think is fair. Honda knew of the defect and not all honda's develop this problem it's just us unlucky few that got the bad one's.
Unfortunately it is the second time it brakes the engine mounts. I have heard that many people have the same issue. I think it is a factory problem.
On january 2nd, 2018 , was driving on a city street to a local aaa approved auto repair care center when the engine of my honda civic became overheated causing fumes/smoke. This could have caused a fire and would thus be a safety hazard. The purpose of taking it to the repair shop was initially just to get a vehicle inspection test/report done for vehicle registration. Due to the engine overheating, further tests were done, and replacing the water pump and performing vps coolant system flush was recommended. I had my vehicle towed to my regular mechanic who inspected it thoroughly and discovereda crack in the engine block. Online i stumbled across several web sites indicating problems associated with engine blocks with some honda civics. I called america honda who said i needed to take my vehicle to a honda garage to confirm the crack in the engine block. This i did and it was reinspected and confirmed by the honda mechanics that there was indeed a crack in the engine block. My vehicle has been sitting at the honda garage for over three months now while america honda decided how much they can help with replacing the engine. They will replace my engine after my deductible of $2500. I have reluctantly accepted this as it's been a long wait and i need my car back on the road. I understand from american honda that their extended warranty for cracked engine block was 10 years from first purchase and only the first owner would have received information on this warranty. However, i believe that a crack in the engine block that leads to an overheated engine potentially causing a fire hazard should be covered under a recall. American honda needs to be held accountable for this defective engine. They gave me a faulty engine that could cause a fire due to overheating and should replace it entirely at their cost. I am thus making a complaint against american honda.
Car engine was running "rough" upon start for 2 days; worked out after driving 1-2 miles. Drove 15 miles and stopped to fill up with gas.less than 1/4 mile after fill up,engine light came on.had car towed to mechanic who had performed last oil change and major service (a month or so previously).mechanic identified problem with #4 cylinder.mechanic swapped spark plug in #4 cylinder with spark plug in #2 cylinder.less than a week later engine light on again.problem again with #4 cylinder.replaced all spark plugs and engine air filter.one week later, heater stopped working.next day, radiator (coolant) gauge on dash moved up past mid-point and hits 3/4 point.i stopped driving and had a friend bring coolant which was 1 gal low!(note:mechanic checked and found coolant level full when car was in for engine light problem less than a 10 days previously.i drive less than 15 miles per day...all low speed.i park off street and have car in one spot for 9 hours during work and never saw any fluid on parking spot.)added coolant.1 week later (coolant) gauge on dash moved up past mid-point and hit 3/4 point (after driving 5 miles at 45 m.p.h. Or less).stopped driving.checked coolant level which was fine (full).that night got letter in mail from honda saying that 2006 - 2009 civics may have cracked engine blocks.all "symptoms" described in honda letter matched what i had been experiencing (unexplained/undetected coolant loss, overheating, engine problem as evidenced by dash indicator).brought car to honda dealer.they said no problem with engine block.i asked them to check radiator thermostat.they said no problem.they could not explain why i lost coolant.i am in process of getting second opinion because i do not believe that honda is committed to fixing the problem (which obviously is a manufacturing defect).
Engine block cracks that create an unsafe condition and premature degradation of the motor and its internal components. The leaks of coolant seem to occur while the motor is running.
Engine block suddenly developed cracking, loses coolant and overheats. Honda admits to faulty engine block by extending warranty to 10 years. However honda will not allow proactive use of warranty. Problem must surface first to be covered. Most problems surface after 10 years, which relieves honda of most of the claims liability. My problem developed 7 months out of extended warranty at 76,000 miles. Engine blocks should last until car is crushed. Safety issue: sudden onset of overheating and breakdown. Engine is a defective product. Honda should be compelled to recall engines and replace to fix the known defect.
I was driving to work as usual and all of a sudden i smelled something burning, when i came to the stop light the front right of my cars had streams of smoke pouring out.i pulled over and the car died, i had it towed to a mechanic and he indicated there was a crack in the engine.i called honda and they have extended the warranty on the 2007 civic for 10years in regards to this issue of the 2007 civic overheating and cracking/destroying the engine.it is my hope that honda will replace the engine and honor/own the defects.
Coolant leaking as described by tsb 10-048 because of defective engine block that cracked, part number 10002-rna-a00.honda dealer in dublin, ohio said honda corporation would only pay 25% of cost to repair since the warranty expired approximately 1 year ago.
Cracked engine block causing loss of antifreeze, which in turn causes engine to over heat
Cracked and leaking engine block with only 72k miles on vehicle.we had the family in the vehicle when it started to smoking heavily, without warning, causing extreme visibility problems as well as a horrible smell.this also caused other vehicles around us to react.we were in heavy traffic at the time. Took it to our local dealership the very next morning, and by late afternoon, were told it has a cracked and leaking engine block.there has been a very clear and noted problem with this vehicle's engine block and, had this happened a few months ago, they would have replaced it at no charge to us as loyal customers.we are without a safe vehicle, while honda has had many many complaints from owners of civics from these years.ours only has 72,000 miles, is maintained properly and always at a honda dealership.it is a commuter only vehicle, for the most part.please help us, as well as all these other owners i have researched, who are also suffering the consequences of honda not doing the proper thing with their engine block issues!we all look to you for support and to make sure manufacturers are held to the standard in which you set for them.they want to charge us thousands of dollars to repair a vehicle that has a known problem documented. Nothing like having a veteran's car smoke out in traffic on actual veteran's day.thank you so much for your time, energy and effort.
Have had problems with the ac since i've bought the car. Normally something small like the blower however this week it was the compressor. Have my car maintenance on a regular basis, overcharge of system is not possible, so i'm not sure why this compressor would be going out after only 5 years. Cost over $1200 to fix. Decided to research a little on this model and apparently this is something that is common on the 07 model. I believe honda is aware of the faulty part and is not taking responsibility. I called and spoke with a gentleman who was very pleasant however this was obviously above his pay grade. He said if i had contacted them before i had the part fixed they might have helped. Honda needs to own up to this issue.
Vehicle would not start. Car engine cracked which is a safety issue and known issue to honda for this model and year of the civic. I had my three kids, including an infant in the car. Took it to honda where they explained that there was an extended warranty that we had just missed. My car is in impeccable shape with low mileage (80,000). Honda refused to cover the engine crack in full (expecting us to play 3,000), stating that we were not loyal honda customers as our other car was a toyota. The car had recently been serviced by honda and the airbag recall was fixed. At that point, they should have communicated to us regarding the engine and the changes to warranty based on the known issue.
Cracked engine block at just over 50,000 miles.engine began to get overheated on highway and lost power. Daughter coasted off highway into parking lot. Everyone in the area of car including driver was put a risk . Upon research, found out this was a known issue on this vin and there was a warranty extension that expired in 2016. No notice was sent to me or my father in law (original owner) regarding this issue.dealership did not inform me.
Cracked engine block, leaking engine coolant and overheating
Cracked engine caused my car coolant leaking. I took it to the 2 repair center. They are agreeing it is manufacturer defect. Honda dealer is repairing those cars with free but won't do mine because mine is salvage titled. I have been driving this car without any problems since i boughtit 3 years ago. I don't think it is fair. The problem is originated from the factory. They are avoiding responsibility because simply it is salvage titled. Honda company doesn't care if my life is in danger because it is just salvage titled?. I don't think that is right humanity. When i drive the car, temperature gauge was going up to hot red zone and i didn't want to drive any more soi took it to the shop.
Another cracked engine block (r18a1 sohc 1.8l 4-cylinder i-vtec engine)honda civic ex with 103,000 miles.serviced regularly with honda fluids and otherwise well taken care of.block crack and coolant leakage occurred driving in urban traffic at 40 mph and resulted in a moderate rise in engine temperature in ten minutes when the temperature gauge was at "h".subsequently the engine has had a steady drip of coolant running down the side of the engine block even though the engine has not been started.
On july 4, 2016 my vehicle started to overheat i pulled over just in time to add coolant and water. 6 weeks later same thing. I pulled in parking spot and filled it up again. Vehicle was fine. On august 28th i was driving up mt. Soledad going 25 mph with ac on lowest notch rpms below 3. Then as i stopped to turn left my engine stopped (seized ) i pulled my e-brake and safely had my bf with by stander push my vehicle while in neutral. Then i tried to start vehicle nothing. Aaa came out said maybe its fuel pump, fuses, spark plugs. The next day after my car had been sitting. I spent all afternoon trouble shooting for alternator, fuse, fuel pump ussues. Next day my mechanic friend came over troubleshooting the spark plugs, fuel pump and did engine compression test none. My heart sank. Then he said this car has a manufacturer defect i asked him how much a repair would be or new engine he said about 1800. I went online and founds 100s maybe 1000s of reports on this secret extended warranty on cracked engine block on models 2006 to 2009 honda civic. Most reports were that honda couldn't do anything if your vehicle was deemed salvage. I believe this should have been a recall. The previous owner my mother or, myself could've been in bad accident on the highway. This car has been in zero accidents that would impact the engine aside from tiny fender benders in the shopping market. I believe all honda owners should complain about the safety issues with bad engine block. This should have been a recall. A lawsuit would have folowed if i ended up in hospital due to their poor quality dangerousdefect with engine block. This isn't over. Something must be done.
2007 civic ex, 124,000 miles, while driving on major interstate engine leaked coolant & overheated. Pulled off interstate & towed home. Problem diagnosis: cracked engine block. Honda acknowledged this is an engine design defect and issued technical service bulletin 10-048 extending engine warranty to 10 yrs (120 mos), unlimited mileage, free engine replacement. My engine cracked at 10 yrs, 3 mos. Called honda customer service (ca) 800-999-1009. Honda agent said car was out of warranty, honda can't help me. Spoke to honda agent's regional manager; same story, unwilling to help. If engine cracked 3 mos earlier, free replacement. I offered to share repair cost, honda customer service manager said no, and she would not let me speak to her superior. She told me to take legal action if i felt honda owed me something. New engine is a $4000-$5000 fix, more than value of car. I'm stuck with worthless civic with cracked engine and only 124k miles. Will never buy honda again after this experience. Buyer beware of used 2006-2009 honda civics.
While getting my car serviced for new tires, i mentioned to the mechanic about the rough vibration the car has. Per mechanic, motor mount was worn, mechanic also stated that nearly every 2007 honda civic they service has motor mount issues. Requested mechanic to state that on bill. Called honda, they were little to no assistance other than for me to contact local dealer. If this is a commonly occurring problem, shouldn't honda address it? i require a car to go to and from work daily, the explanation by honda will not suffice.
Has cracked engine block. This is a known problem by honda for '06,'07',08 and some '9 civic due to a manufacture defect on the block. Honda upgraded the warranty to 10 years from date of purchase.the crack occurs between 95k-110k miles. I have 101k on my car.i am out of warranty period therefore honda has denied fixing my vehicle. Honda should have recalled instead of warranty period since it is a known problem and there are many of us who do not drive our car as much. I also purchased the extra warranty for piece of mind at the time of the purchase and honda still will not budge.
To whom this may concern,i am the sole owner of a 2007 honda civic with 57,576 miles on the odometer and i would like to file a formal claim against american honda motor company for not extending the 10 year warranty on the engine block due to an engineering/manufacturing defect during the production of the vehicle. On 2/1/18 my car was diagnosed by a honda certified technician, who determined that my engine block was leaking coolant due to a crack between cylinders 1 & 2 on the outside of the block. The technician explained to me that honda issued an extended warranty on the block to cover this issue but my warranty had expired by 3 months and therefore honda would not cover it. So, i decided to file a formal claim with honda and after going back and forth for a week and a half they agreed to pay 50% of the cost to replace the engine block, which meant that i was responsible to pay $2,658.75 to make up the difference. I feel that honda should have covered the engine block replacement 100% free of charge due to the fact that the issue was due to a manufactures defect. Also, the car is in excellent condition, has low miles, and has been maintained at the dealership that it was purchased at. As a customer, who purchased the vehicle new, i feel that i should not have to invest money on replacing the motor due to a defect. The customer should only be responsible for routine maintenance .i have attached my repair bill which lists the issue/fix and the amount i was charged as proof.thank you and i hope this helps others!
Engine block cracked due to manufacturing defect, overheated at 60 mph on interstate 270.
There is a crack in the block that has nothing to do with external damage or lack of maintenance.it is available for inspection upon request.the engine lost a significant amount of coolant and started to overheat on the highway.this could have resulted in engine seizure and a major accident.our service person has confirmed that the block is cracked and that this has been identified by honda as a known manufacturing defect.the vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else.the honda dealer is not interested.the only warning was that the temperature gauge shot up.
2007 honda civic.consumer writes in regards to motor mounts uppers and lowers cracked and replaced twice in two weeks.the consumer stated while driving, she heard a rumbling noise and the steering wheel and dash started shaking. At the time, she didn't know the driver's side rear tire had blown out, until she arrived at the repair shop.
I have 2007 honda civic. I have got engine block leak problem. Which is costing me more than car value. This is manufacturing defect. Should be covered by honda.
Hope you are well. I am a proud owner of a 2007 civic lx coupe 1.8l 4 cylinder that i have owned and loved since 9/28/09. It's my daily driver and often times my lifeline. While driving out of my neighborhood two days ago i noticed my temperature gauge was rising quite quickly. I pulled over to check my fluids (as i just changed my oil and topped off my fluids on 2/14/18) and noticed i was very low on coolant. My vehicle was operating normally the night before. My first thought was a coolant leak so i took my vehicle to weir canyon honda in anaheim hills for a diagnosis. The mechanic looked at my oil and immediately determined there was coolant in my engine and significant build up. I was notified that there was a tsb #10-048 and #sb-08-044 for my vehicle. I was told that since i am 5 months passed my 10 year warranty, there is nothing they can do for me. My issue is, how was i supposed to know about this? why didn't honda send me a notice about this extreme issue? as per the requirements, my vehicle needed to malfunction within 7 years for the warranty to be in effect, to only be extended to 10 years due to complaints from loyal customers. And you also needed to have the problem, pay for it, then fight for reimbursement. I am at my whits end of what to do at this point. And to whoever reads this, i am in no way angry at you personally at all. I know kindness is hard to come by these days. I just know that this kind of problem i have usually only get addressed in good faith and i am hoping you can help me out. I deliver food for a living and right now, i am completely unable to work so i'm stressed out. Thank you for your time. Here is a link to many of the problems i experience.

I was driving on a highway and i noticed coolant leakage resulting in engine overheating.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to coast over to the side of the road. The contact powered off the vehicle. Once restarted, the vehicle was able to operate correctly. In addition, a burning odor was present inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to delray honda (2500 s federal hwy, delray beach, fl 33483, (561) 404-5617) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. No further assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 146,000.
A couple days after purchasing a 2007 honda civic with 150,000 miles, it suddenly overheated while i was driving it and began smoking as i attempted to pull off the road. Upon examining the car, there was no coolant in the reservoir (despite adding coolant, the coolant levels consistently drop but there is no external leak). Fortunately, i was able to pull off the road in time.honda recognized that the engine blocks for 2007 honda civics were defective (honda service bulletin 10-048) but no longer covers repairs for the safety risk that their defective engine blocks pose to drivers of these vehicles and others on the road when their cars overheat.
Driving to work on expressway when engine began bucking and losing power.fortunately, i was able to safely get off road and get to a service center where they diagnosed a lateral crack in the block.the car has 84,100 miles on odometer and is in otherwise excellent condition.the replacement of the engine costs $7,600 and i have paid for it.looking for guidance on some recovery from honda.thank you.
When driving on a city street car lost power and won't go at more than 20 ml/hr and was overheating ,have it checked and found a crack on engine block,
Broken engine block
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the vehicle overheated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for inspection and diagnostic testing. An independent mechanic inspected and diagnosed the vehicle. The manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from an unknown recall campaign and provided no solution. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000. **updated 08/31/17*lj
Cracked engine block...
Yes hello i have a 2007 honda civic ex and i would like to file a complaint. Ok so i was on my was home with my wife on the highway and my car started smoking from under the hood i nearly lost control of my vehicle but thankfully manage to pull over i looked for the problem but i didn't find why. So it cools down and i add coolant in the reserve and the raidiator to be able to make it home. So when i arrived andturned my car off i was able to here the water on the hot motor so i looked for where the problem was come to find out that my car had a crack going across the block of the engine. And that's where it leaks all the coolant out from. That is really unsafe i have never seen anything like it. Probably made a bad decision in honda! i want to know if i could be helped? i nearly lost control of my vehicle with the smoke coming out from under the hood.
The vehicle unpredictably leaked coolant and the engine block is now cracked.the car is useless.had to tow it 100 miles only to be told by honda that this is my problem.it is now out of the 10 year extended warranty even though it has less than 100,000 miles on the car.this is a know problem with this make and model which is why honda extended the warranty.it should have been an outright recall - they will not do anything about it despite their faulty manufacturing.
I bought the car in 2016 with 95,000 miles from the original owner. I preformed maintenance as required and have never had any issues. The car had been working perfectly up until june 5, 2018. I was driving to work and noticed my car began to show signs of over heating so i pulled over. I let my car cool down before checking it. Everything checked out but the coolant. I had no idea what was wrong so i drove the car to the closest auto shop i knew of. My car drove well there but i had to pull over to add water. My mechanic informed there was a crack in the engine and coolant was leaking out. I asked if this had been a cause of something i hadn't maintained or checked. He mentioned that this had been a problem he's seen with honda's. It was a very small maybe hairline fracture which had cause my coolant to leak and my car to overheat. I went home andgoogled my issue. Consumers reports had an article describing the issue with 2006-2009 honda's which were cracking and leaking coolant. I found a number and contacted honda but they informed me that i am over the warranty limit. I am still waiting on a final response. I use my car for work so it isn't heavily used. I know i'm within the range of many who've had issues with this car. It would have taken more than 10 years to add the miles that would be needed for the engine to start to fail. I understand that i am out of warranty for honda but i wish they'd consider my case. This isn't a cause of mine but a manufactures issue which shouldn't void my warranty. If the car has a faulty item that faulty item will become defective. In this case the engine which cracked at no fault of mine.
I was driving my 2007 honda civic on 8/17/19 when i noticed my vehicle temperature gauge increasing at a fast rate. I immediately pulled over and found out that my car didn't have any coolant.thinking that this was the problem, coolant was filled in the radiator and i was able to drive the car home. However, less than a week later, the car began to overheat once again. After inspection, my car was out of coolant again. I took my car to ed napleton honda in oak lawn on 8/26/19 and was told that the engine cylinder block was cracked and was causing a leak of the coolant which causes overheating in vehicles. Although this is a known defect in honda civic models 2006-2009, i was told that honda issued two warranty extensions for up to 10 years and that my car was two years outside of the warranty. Because i'm the original and sole owner of the vehicle with great maintenance history, the dealership's service manager submitted a goodwill request to honda corporate asking for the cost of repair to be covered.however, the request was denied by the regional honda district parts and service manager.i escalated the situation to honda corporate and found out from a customer service specialist that honda did not send the letter informing me of the defect and warranty extension to my correct address.furthermore, it was not an address that i had ever provided to honda. After escalating my issue to the regional case manager, i was still refused any assistance.there are over 300 complaints about cracked engine blocks in 06-09 honda civics on the car complaints website alone.many owners state that their vehicles began experiencing problems shortly after the warranty expiration. This questions honda's knowledge of the longevity of the engine block and all parts involved.i appeal to nhtsa to investigate this ongoing matter and hold honda accountable by enforcing a recall.
Cracked block 6 months after warranty period ended and they wont help me at all,
Honda civic cracked engine block. Honda has been aware of this issue for many years. They have never issued a recall, only a service bulletin. Many honda customers are experiencing their motors overheating due to a faulty engine and cracking occurring. The engine is defective. My 2007 honda civic started overheating in 2018. I took it to a repair shop and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. I have to monitor the coolant level because it keeps decreasing and i have to add more coolant. I have come to close to the car overheating while driving it when i had to immediately pull off the road to add more fluid.it was diagnosed yesterday 1/25/19 by a honda dealer with a cracked engine block. Honda corporate is not going to replace the engine because their extended warranty has expired. See honda service bulletin 10-48. The warranty was only issued for those owners who experienced the problem within that 10 year period of time.there are many complaints about this issue and something needs to be done. Honda needs to be responsible for this defect that they have acknowledged but are only fixing it if it happens within a 10 year period regardless if the miles are low, as in my vehicle.this issue can result in a car fire from overheating, so it is a safety issue that honda is ignoring by not declaring a recall. This is an engine defect that honda has fully acknowledged. A recall must be declared so that owners of these vehicles are protected from a potential car fire from the engine overheating.
Cracked engine block.
My engine block is cracked.i know that several year models of the honda civic have been recalled due to this defect; the 2007 yr model as is mine included.my vin # was not included in this recall but it has the same defect as the others that were recalled.i would like for mine to be replaced.the pictures included show where the water/antifreeze mixture has leaked out and dried on.the vehicle has not been driven in several months because of this.i bought this car in approximately late 2015.
Cracked engine car has less than 85,000 miles on it. Honda is a joke they want me to pay for another tow and then pay for a certified honda mechanic to look at it. They are well aware of this problem and could give two [xxx]!parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The engine block cracked and began leaking coolant.i was driving and smelled something burning, and my car was smoking from underneath the hood.it is 6 months passed the 10 warranty.i am not alone in this issue, as numerous people have recommended me to this site.it is very upsetting to me.
Engine block crack diagnosed following honda's 10 year warranty that we were never alerted about by honda or at any service performed by honda in the past 10 years.engine went up in smoke and broke down without any lights or sensors driving down the highway. Thankfully able to get off the road safely.
2007 honda civic crack in the engine less than 85,000 miles on it and tina in corporate wants to act like its no big deal to pay for a tow and pay for a diagnosis. By the way tina said she works in corporate and knows everything but could not tell me if honda would help me out in this situation.

Cracked engine fluid came out causes damaged to other parts and over heat due to engine crack damaged water pumps radiator
Car was overheating as i was stopped,drove to honda they said it's a cracked block that was consistent with this year i read up on many others on the internet - honda is only handling if a problem arises and some honda dealerships are trying to make the customer pay for the damage from their defective product is a class action lawsuit viable to protect honda owners?
My car overheated. It only has 97000 miles on it. Guessing it's a engine block issue, cause mechanic can not figure out the issue and it keeps overheating,even though everything else is ok
The engine is cracked in the back and leaking coolant. Car only has 80,000 miles on it
At 110,000 miles, my car developed a cracked engine block. I was parked and noticed coolant leaking from my car. My car was towed by aaa to keyes honda and diagnosed. It was found that honda was aware of this major defect and did not inform consumers. Instead, they quietly extended the warranty by one year instead of issuing a recall. After much research, it was found that this is a known issue. The repair cost is $5-6000. American honda will only pay a very small portion, leaving the bulk of the cost to the consumer.
Cracked engine block. My car only has 127k miles on it and out of no where i had coolant leaking and my car almost over heated because of it while i was on the freeway. Ii had a mechanic look at it and that's how we figured out the engine was cracked. Not once did i get a call or letter from honda informing me that my car had a recall because of this known issue. When i called honda to see if they will in good faith fix my car they told me that it would need to get diagnosised by a honda dealer and maybe they can do a shared cost but it is not guaranteed. Not only can they not guarantee that they will fix it but they wanted me to continue to drive my car to a dealer? how is that safe to do? us conusmers should not have to pay for a defected car that they built! my honda should still have more life to it and not died out on me so early. This should have been a safety recall and not just s regular one.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the vehicle failed inspection due to faulty engine mounts. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed that the vehicle had faulty engine mounts that needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.the vin was not available.
While driving on a highway the car started fuming with white smoke and it got inside the cabin of the car and the temperature gauge was at 100% all of a sudden and had to pull the car to the shoulder.it is a known manufacturing defect and honda has atechnical service bulletin 10-048. But i was never mailed about the problem and when contacted honda mentioned they do not have to update me even though it is a known problem. Honda representative has been really rude and did not reply or rake my call for more than 10 days to reply about my case. Instead when she called she mentioned that its not their problem and they will not cover it.
Crack in engine blocks cause suden severe loss of coolant and overheating leaving motorist stranded on roadway.
My car always stayed at the appropriate temperature. Never any problems.had my oil changed faithfully and fluid checked.at about 84,000 miles, my antifreeze leaked quite extensively, my engine was overheating.took to the dealership, and my engine block was cracked.no ryme or reason for it.i heard that honda gave civic owners a 10-year warranty from date of purchase because of this problem.this problem occurred 10-years and 3 months after the date of purchase (may 2007).when this occurred, i was doing city streets and noticed it when it was stationery.
The engine blocks has a cracked,the antifreeze is leaking.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. After the vehicle was driven and parked, the contact noticed a trail of liquid emerging from the engine compartment. After a few minutes, there was a puddle under the engine. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic who determined that the engine block was cracked and the engine needed replacement. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
I purchased this vehicle this spring in may 2016. It has only 46,000 miles on it as of today 1/9/17. I had noticed this fall when it was getting cooler outside a vibration in the front end. It vibrates when in park, neutral and when backing up. I asked the dealership to take a look at it and i was told it was a collapsed motor mount. I really feel this is a manufacturer defect. The car is barely broken in. Is there any type of recall on this?
The air conditioning stopped working while driving on the highway, temperature gague shot up. My local mechanic diagnosed a cracked engine block on my honda civic lx.i have performed all recommended services and upkeep to date.car was purchased new.read online about an extended warranty on the engine block and was told to have the car towed in to my local honda dealer.waiting to hear back from them as to the location of the crack to know if the repair is going to be warranted.
The car overheated and engine light came on. The car had a cracked engine block that honda admitted is a defect of this model car but they are only covering repair for people who come in with a problem. The dealership supposedly replaced the cracked engine block with a new one. The engine light has come on 3 additional times in the past month since the engine block was replaced. The first time we were told it was the oxygen sensor and paid approx. $380 for repairs because they claim it had nothing to do with the initial problem. Less then an hour after getting the car back the light came on again. This time they said that there was dust on a sensor do to the work they did. They claimed to repair it for no charge. They said they drove it for 20 miles with no problem. Again within an hour of getting the car back the engine light has come on for a 4th time.
Engine block warranty extension. I recently noticed that my car started to overheat, and that the coolant was always gone with no leaks. So i began the process of changing the thermostat, it ended up not being the thermostat. I continued the process of trying to track the problem. After a radiator, hoses water pump and all other things a car would need to function involving coolant was replaced i was left clueless and stumped. Therefore, i went to honda forums and google, and that is when i found out about the warranty extension for civics because they were developing a problem with cracked blocks. This explained everything, went to forums and a lot of people were having the same problem. Honda customer service was the worst and basically told most people that it was out of warranty and most of the people did not even receive a notice such as myself. The engine blocks area completely weak and needs to be fixed. This issue usually occurs around 80,000-110,000 miles. This warranty needs to be extended especially for people who bought the car used as myself, i received a notice for the airbags and did not receive a notice about the motors, so i believe it is not fair and that honda really is stealing money from people.
The cars coolant and oil kept mixing and the coolant would quickly deplete and leak out of the bottom of the car, the engine would also heat to the maximum temp on the engine if i did not constantly fill my coolant. I went to discount tire to get this checked out and it was a cracked engine block, i found out there were recalls for this exact year and issue but my vin was not included for some reason! i fear one day my car will blow up on me and honda should correct this problem free of charge.
I was driving my honda civic 2007 on a ramp going from one highway to another, when it completely shut down and started smoking. There was no indication that anything was wrong with the car until it stopped and started smoking. Turns out that the engine block was cracked creating overheating. The overheating caused other parts of the engine to melt, the spark plugs, oil dipstick, head is warped.
Honda has produced faulty engine blocks on civic models from 2006-2009 that tend to crack. This is a safety issue as it can cause the car to stall on a highway and lead to an accident. Honda extended their warranty from 7 to 10 years instead of issuing a recall even though they know they sold a faulty product.on tuesday, oct 27th 2020, driving home from work the car temperature gauge maxed out and shaking was felt as if the car was going to stall. Luckily, this occurred coming off the highway and while driving on city streets and near my residence and not while on the highway where the car could have stalled and caused a dangerous situation. The vehicle was taken to honda service center the following day for a diagnostic check and it was determined that the engine block had cracked. The engine cracking was the reason the cars warranty was extended to 10 years but the extension of the warranty to my vehicle has expired. Honda has quoted me $6,395.40 to replace a known faulty engine block. I believe a faulty engine block creates an unsafe condition to all drivers and should be replaced by honda before someone gets hurt.
I was driving to work on a busy highway when i noticed the temperature gauge rise quickly past it's normal range.i quickly got off the road and shut off the engine.i had the car towed to the shop and the mechanic found that there was no fluid in the radiator. He determined that there was a smallcrack.he informed me that this is an issue with 2007 civics.he told me i could put another motor in it or buy another car.the car has been well maintained and i had every intention to keep it for several more years.i am very disappointed that honda did not inform me of the defects in the engine.
Takata recall hi i am having several issues with the ignition not wanting to turn for several moments after putting the key inside to start my 2007 honda xivic lx sedan and then all of a sudden the lights and power to the doors and windows work but car won't roll over to start. The car has been flashing a wrench like bar along with what looks like shape of the motor for 2 months as well ad i've just had an oil change done 4 days ago but yet it still reads oil life 5% b1 on the dash which won't clear nothing was wrong with spark plus or anything else under hood from valvoline's stand point when checked other than wipers don't never want to shut off as well. Thank you and regards [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
We have a 2007 honda civic with 62200 miles and noticed it started running hot and rough idle. Took it in to a repair shop we have used for years( that also does manufactures authorized maintenance) for the problem, and it was diagnosed with a cracked engine block. We are two months to the day out of the extended warranty for this known problem. We have never received any notice from honda about this problem. This was my wife's main vehicle, and thankfully this was not a catastrophic failure that left her stranded. This is not a small component failure. This leaves the car undrivable and practically worthless for trade-in or resale.
There is a crack in the engine block.has only 70,000 miles
44,000 miles on vehicleand diagnosed at honda dealer that engine block is cracked! manufacturers defect with unpublicized safety bulletin 10-048 will not repair.
I am doing this regarding the cracked engine block issue.i have emailed honda and they will not cover it.how can a manufacturer know they have sold a defective product and not be liable?i am a low income individual and cannot afford to fix my car, it is very upsetting.
As im driving down the eastern coast on the highway when i noticed my car started to over heat and was severly leaking engine coolant. An attempt to refill only resulted in the coolant pouring out from under the engine. This left me stranded in the middle of nowhere with no car and very little money. My car has still been unfixed by honda.
My honda civic has completely overheated three times to the point of needing to replace the head gasket, water pump, radiator and coils. Once was in 2014, again in 2018 and now in 2020. It is now discovered the cause of all these over heating problems over the years was due to a cracked engine block which there was a 10 year extended warranty for this issue. I took my civic into brandon honda in florida on march 5th, 2016 and nothing was said or done relating to the issue of the cracked engine block which honda had been fully aware of since at least 2014 where it was stated on consumer reports. The vehicle was in motion twice, once on a highway and it was due to the engine over heating every time; both situations put myself and vehicle in danger. I maintained my radiator as well as water pump and have had them replaced each time so clearly the underlying problem was the crack in the engine block.
There was a crack in the engine block of my vehicle causing it to leak coolant, which led to the vehicle overheating. Because of this i have multiple issues with my car and now need a new engine. I have done some research and it came to my attention that there was an extension warranty for crack blockage in the engine of honda's between 2006-early 2009. For that i took my car in but the honda dealership is only offering to pay for the cracked block and not the damage done do to this issue. No light came on to warn that the car was overheating, therefore i never knew there was an issue until i could smell it.
I was driving and my car suddenly stopped in the middle of a very busy road, the vehicle started smoking while i was inside, it was so scary. I'm lucky that i'm alive.the vehicle was diagnosed by honda with a cracked engine. Honda was fully aware of the engine block leak issue back in 2013. Instead of offering a total recall to fix the issue for all the running civics, they simply offered a 10 year warranty, in case the problem surfaces. This is a safety issue and authorities should investigate how honda is handling these complaints. They refused to take responsibility and stand by their customers.

Car began leaking antifreeze from the engine block. Honda admits that this is a common issue with this year as well as others but refuses to pay for repairs. I have appealed with american honda to no avail. They do not care because the car is outside of its warranty even though they will admit that the engine is a defect by honda.car was parked at the time, has no damages, and has been properly maintained.
I have a 2007 honda civic ex coupe with only 99k miles and due to a manufacturing defect now has a cracked engine block. Honda has a service bulletin #10-048 which states the 2007 civic and other years have manufacturing defect. My civic started over heating on dec.25th 2017 on the way out to my families house for christmas and i had to pull to the side of the road due to the overheating and smoke we saw coming from the engine. After looking under the hood i saw there was no coolant in the reservoir and i couldn't detect a coolant leak. The next day dec.26th 2017 i replaced the thermostat on my civic presuming that the thermostat was sticking and coolant was not circulating. That was obviously not the case because yet again the next day dec.27th 2017 it overheated and i had to pull to the side of the road and noticed a severe coolant leak coming from the engine block. When i got the car home i did some research and noticed a honda service bulletin (above) and saw we were not the only ones having this issue. We called american honda and they started a case for us and recommended that we take it to our local honda to be inspected further. We made a appointment for the inspection and after honda inspected it they diagnosed it with a cracked engine block. This is do to their faulty defected product. Honda should stand behind their product and fix the issue. This car was meticulously maintained by my local honda and has been in the family. We were never notified of this bulletin or else we would had brought our civic in sooner before there supposed extra 10 year warranty expired. It shouldn't matter how many years honda knows this is a ongoing issue and it will continue to happen if it doesn't get taken care of the right way. This could potentially be a dangerous situation and i believe honda needs to step up.
The vehicle has developed a coolant leak due to a cracked engine block. This vehicle can no longer be driven and while it is in otherwise excellent condition, repairs are economically unfeasible.this is a 2007 honda civic ex with the r18 engine. It has a clean title and i am the first and only owner.there have been a significant number of similar failures in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 model year honda civics with this engine due to bad metallurgy and weak casting during the manufacturing process. Honda knows that these are defective engines as they created technical service bulletin 10-048 in response to these failures. They did not however issue a recall.i believe this is a safety issue, because this failure could occur in highway driving causing the engine to overheat and seize and the driver could therefore potentially be unable to leave the active traffic lanes. Regardless, even if the driver could make it to the shoulder, that is not a safe environment.i noticed this problem when the vehicle was in motion just after exiting the highway.there are many examples of similar failures on various owner group websites.
"cracked engine block" i own a 2007 honda civic. I purchased it new from a honda dealer and just recently starting experiencing a coolant leak. After a 35 minute commute to work, as i get out of my vehicle, i would notice a burnt coolant smell. I brought my vehicle to my mechanic and as soon as i mention the word coolant...my mechanic informed me the american honda corporation is aware of the problem with their 2006 to 2009 honda civic's that have crack engine blocks which causes coolant to leak out. I was flabbergasted! i purchased my honda due to their reputation of reliability and longevity. How could they be aware of this problem and only issue an extended warranty and not a recall. This is a huge safety issue. I contacted the american honda corporation and they said based on my vin#, my vehicle is out of the warranty period by 4 months and they will not cover the repair or replacement of the engine block. I feel the nhtsa need to force honda to issue a recall on all honda civics between the years of 2006 to 2009 with cracked engine blocks. I have read it was due to poor casting that caused these engine blocks to crack. Honda will continue to receive calls and complaints in regards to this issue because they have sold millions of these vehicles to unbeknownst americans.
Engine block- engine block cracked causing my to leak fluids and have my car overheat instantly while driving. Honda issues a ten year warranty on the engine block but my car is five months past due of the warranty. Honda knew that its engine block was flawed and refuses to fix it even though i could have been seriously hurt or even killed because of this defect.
Honda tsb# 10-048, my sons honda civic over heated due to a known crackissue in the engineblock. This car was purchased as a used car from a honda dealer. He was driving his car when it just started to shut down and he had to pull over. The engine overheated without warning while he was driving and got so hot that it melted the oil dip stick (see image), lucky it did not go on fire, the ignition coil was also melted to the engine block. I know that honda extended their warranty on this, and my car is 2 months pass that date with only 57k mles on it. Why should i have to pay for a know issue that can show up at given time. Whether it is 5,10 or 20 years it is a know defect and honda as company should be standing behind their product. I never received any notification of this issue in writing from honda at anytime to watch for this potential problem. I understand it would be a financial burden to do a complete recall but i believe that is what needs to be done. This is a dangerous situation for people who are not aware of this potential danger.
My husband was driving home from work with the honda civic 07 when it started to overheat. Luckily he was close to the house and we immediately called over our own mechanic to inspect. He stated the engine block is cracked and its leaking. He advised us to go to dealership because there is something about a warranty extension for this. Next morning we brought it to dealership open road honda edison nj and said they will do a diagnostic on it to determine if is a cracked engine block. And it was. Warranty extension 10-048 states honda is only going to pay the repair if it is within 10 years form original purchase. We are out of warranty as it was originally purchased 4/2017. Almost 3 years out of warranty. I told them this car is serviced at honda dealership and i did not receive any notification from honda about this 10 year extension warranty. They wanted me to pay 5k for repair. This is a manufacture defect and no amount of maintenance is going to avoid this. I called american honda and gave me a case #. Initially they said 10% that went to 15% and finally 20% is the only percentage they are willing to pay for. It leaves me with$3900 to pay. This is unacceptable. Honda is protecting itself from paying when they should be at least extended the warranty with specifics for owners who are out of warranty and unfortunately their engine block broke. I

The engine mounts are failing on this model of civic. According to many online discussion forums, a lot of other users are having the same problem. This is causing excessive noise and vibration, especially when the vehicle is cold. My car has under 90,000 miles and i spent over $400 to replace them.i am surprised there has not been a recall issued for this by the manufacturer already and i believe that there should be a recall issued considering the high number of other reports of this failure on these models.here are just some url links to some of the online discussion boards who are owners and technicians showing the widespread problem of defective motor mounts based on the number of 8th generation honda civics have the same problem:http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2832175http://repairpal.com/low-rumbling-sound-when-in-reverse-bad-engine-mounts-598http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/117405-broken-motor-mount.htmlhttp://www.8thcivic.com/forums/dealership-experience/285443-450-replace-1-motor-mount-dealer-wtf.htmlhttp://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=194374http://anaphoral.blogspot.com/2012/02/honda-civic-engine-vibration-fix.htmlhttp://www.civicforums.com/forums/197-mechanical-problems-vehicle-issues-fix-forum/351877-motor-mount-vibration.htmlhttp://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/279863-defective-motor-mounts-help.htmlhttp://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2897153http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2989384.
Texas - was traveling down highway when car suddenly felt like a tire was going down. Quickly exited and car died as the temperature gauge showed vehicle was hot. Had no prior warning indication engine was hot. This total incident suddenly occurred and ended in less than 1 minute. Had vehicle towed to mechanic who maintains vehicle on a regular basis. Mechanic advised that engine was completely gone due to cracked block which also blew the head. Mechanic further advised that honda had technical service bulletins reference this vehicle model with engine and cooling problems and had extended warranty for this problem. Vehicle was towed to local honda dealer and honda is replacing the whole engine because of this problem at no further cost to me. Very happy with my dealership.
Had all antifreeze on ground when i went to drive car home from work. Took it to mechanic who stated i had cracked engine. Took to dealer who stated it was cracked but still under warranty but they had to keep until friday and today is monday.
My 2007 honda civic coupe overheated on interstate in fl and stopped operating.vehicle would not start up again and required to be towed.it was determined that the engine block was cracked and leaking fluids.honda knew about this problem and extended the warranty to 10 years.my car was purchased in oct of 2006 and incident occurred in sept of 2017.my vehicle is in excellent condition but honda has only offered to pay $3000 of the $6100 repair.i find that that is not good enough and they should be responsible for this defect and should have recalled this model and not wait for the engine to crack. They knew of this defect and played the odds that not all of the cars would breakdown. I never even recieved the notification of the extended warranty. I found out about it after breakdown and researching it on internet. A full recall should have been implemented if they knew there was a faulty engine block.
Cracked engine block, random overheating, major coolant loss, emergency pullover

After routine oil change, by my mechanic, an oil leak was noted. After close inspection on a liftit turned out to be small fissures in oil pan metal(aluminum).the car has always been garaged, and never in an accident.the development in the metal is obviously a serious matter as an oil leak can have devastatingconsequences.i spoke to honda(america) this afternoon and reported it.
Engine block has developed a crack that is leaking radiator coolant and causing the engine to overheat. This could result in the engine being damaged and vehicle shutting down while driving.
I noticed coolant on the garage floor. The coolant level seemed low. I topped it up. Next day the car engine oil indicator became high and there was some smoke. I took it to the local honda dealership and they pressure tested the system. They found a crack in the engine block. This is a known problem in the 2006-2009 honda civics. Honda has apparently an extended warranty on this engine by 10 years from date of purchase but have not made it punlic nor have i received notice. I have only 160k miles on this car but yet am out of luck as it's past that 10 year time limit. This is highly unethical of honda as they did not send out any recall notice. The engine is supposed to last the life of the car. Please investigate and force them to issue a recall.
When i am driving my car and it goes into a shift gear it tugs back and forth than it kicks in, in only does it at certain speed than it stops. I want to know if there any recalls on the transmission and if any repairs are being done or have been done. I am afraid that it will just break apart in the middle of the expressway and cause some pileup and my life or others may be in danger.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at unknown speeds, the contact heard an abnormal clicking sound when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that transmission fluid was leaking and the engine block was cracked. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and stated that the warranty had been extended; however, the contact missed the deadline. The contact was advised to replace the engine or purchase a new vehicle. The failure mileage was 163,000.
I was in a highway and my engine heated. I let it cool down and found out that the coolant/ antifreeze had been depleted completely. I replenished it. Later diagnosis resulted in identification of crack from the engine block. My 2007 civic had gone out of warranty for their extended 10 years. It has low mileage of 94000 miles. These specific problems seem to occur in hondas at around 90k to 110k. So for people like us who have low mileage, we are not helped by the extended warranty and have to pay out of pocket which i cannot afford. I feel like i have been cheated. The recall number is a10-048
The 2007 honda civic as a known problem of cracks in engine block.over time, the crack causes coolant leakage, and will render the vehicle completely inoperative.our 2007 has 77,000 miles, and the engine completely shut down while my daughter was driving on a busy city street.smoke was deteted; next minute the car would not move.honda knows about the problem, but is doing all it can to avoid a recall.there is no preventive maintenance that could be done to prevent this known mfg defect.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
Faulty a/c compressor locks up the drive belt causing the crankshaft pulley to stop rotating which results in the engine and all accessories (power steering, power brakes, etc.) to turn off randomly in the middle of driving. This happens after the engine is turned-on and has occurred consistently when the vehicle is driven for a few minutes and when it is at idle for a few minutes. No warnings or engine fault codes found on ecu, this mechanical failure will cause vehicle to turn off in the middle of driving, the steering wheel to lock-up, the power brakes to no longer function correctly and puts the driver and everyone around at a serious risk of injury and death.

2007 honda civic coupe- cracked engine block i found out i had a leak so i had my car towed to the dealership to find out where the leak was coming from. Upon their findings, they told me it was my engine block. Which at that time they explained to me that there was a warranty for cracked engine blocks in which, honda had extended it to 10 years. That would have been great had i been the original owner of the vehicle to have it replaced. Sadly i'm the second owner and was unaware of this issue with these vehicles, along with being out of warranty by 3 years. I just bought this vehicle from a dealer less than 6 months ago, for $6,000 which i also paid honda $1416 to have the necessary updates done on it, because it only had 102,000 miles being a 2007. Which should say that i'm very responsible in taking care of needs. Well, its now at 104,000 miles and the engine block is cracked in which my vehicle has been at the dealership for going on now a week, waiting on someone to get back with me to tell me if they can help me with this problem that was clearly not my fault but, a manufactured fault.i've seen a lot of complaints on this issue and can only pray that i'm not just another complaint that gets looked over. I was quoted by the dealership the cost would be $4800 in which on a fixed income can not afford to pay that amount. As of this date my car is still at the honda dealership as i am without even a loaner car until they work out the details of this. You'd think being one of the top car companies this would not be so daunting and drawn out. Why put a expiration on something that can cause an accident or yet someone's life and when it's brought to attention the customer is left with the worst case scenario? lord help us all, because there are so many of these i've saw out there andit don't seem as if anything is helping with complaint after complaint.

I've had mu civic 11 years and driven the car 167,000 miles trouble free. On jan 26, 2018 i detected a sudden coolant leakwith engine overheating and steam coming from under the hood while driving. I took it in for service and was shocked when i wastold i had a cracked engine block. I was further informed honda had identified the defect and extended a warranty for it. However, i was one year beyond thewarranty period.it doesn't seem fair to me. The repair cost would have been excessive so i wound up selling the car for its parts value. I'm a big honda supporter., i've had 6 of them, but this left a bad taste. I still think honda should do something for those of us who have had this problem. I wound up replacing it with a subaru.
After driving my car 3 miles, i noticed steam coming from the engine.i parked the car and it had a smell of radiator fluid.after letting it cool, i looked inside the radiator and noticed there was no fluid left.we filled it up and brought it to the local repair shop.they said the engine block had cracked.honda had issued an extended warranty for 10 years for the original sell date for cars with this particular problem. Unfortunately, my car is out of the 10 year warranty by 6 months.honda will not help out in any way since i am out of the warranty period even though it's a known fault.

I took my 2007 civic hybrid for a service at buena park honda on 9/16/10 and they told me that there is a recall to my car about the ima battery. They said they will fix the problem. After 2 days of driving, i noticed that i was not getting the battery assist that i used to get. There were still 4 bars on my battery meter and i was not getting the power that i needed to pass a car or during merging lanes on the freeway. I also noticed the drop of my mpg. I have the same everyday driving since i bought my car. It went from an average of 40 mpg to 31 mpg!!! that takes away the point of me buying a hybrid. I am very unhappy about this situation so i started searching if anyone else have these problems and it turned out that i am not the only unhappy civic hybrid owner. I really feel unsafe about this. I also noticed that when i have 7 bars left and driving on the freeway, i know its charging when i use the cruise control, all of a sudden it will go to full bars without even filling up the 8, 9. Bars. That makes it very suspicious if it is really charged up. All i can say is hopefully honda will fix this problem because this is our 4th honda vehicle and we love it because of the reliability and efficiency that it had given us. Please honda, fix this problem.

On thurs. Oct. 1 i drove to work in my '07' honda civic ex 4-dr with 48,900 miles(approx) and i started hearing a noise.the car kept running pretty well though so i continued the 22 miles to my office.when i got there i was smelling burning rubber and it was making quite a racket.i called roush honda in westerville, ohio and brought it in that afternoon.i had to run on back roads instead of the freeway because i was afraid that it wouldn't make it - i probably should have had it towed.they told me that the water pump pulley broke, ruined the water pump, tensioner and belt etc.i have a drive train warranty through 100,000 miles but not a part of the drive train!i had an overall warranty but i am about 900 to 1,000 miles past.it will cost $500.00 plus to fix.i got on the internet and then on your site and i find a technical service bulletin # 08=039 (nhtsa # 10026791) on bolts coming loose on water pump pulleys and doing damage.i even asked the roush service man when he called to tell me what the problem was if these do this a lot.he said that this is the first one that he had ever heard of.do you believe him?i sure don't!what can i do?i am getting sick and tired of auto makers building junk and then not standing behind it.i bought chryslers for 30 years and got sick of their games and switched to honda to get away from it but it looks like they play them too.now admittedly, no injury or physical damage was caused, but i am sure glad that the pump didn't fail completely on the freeway when i was driving to work.
Problem started at 76,000 miles.engine noise and vibration during cold start (first thing in morning).happens in park at start and in reverse.when in drive it is ok. Also does not happen after initial start and running of the day, unless it has sat for more than 8-10 hours.there are loads of similar complaints on the internet as i have searched for those with similar problems. This should not be happening in a car with low mileage.there is a defect that needs attention.
I have a 2007 honda civic lx with 36,000 miles. I was turning left into a parking space going very slowly (<5 mph) when my vehicle suddenly accelerated. My foot was not on the gas pedal.i slammed on the brakes and the car continued to accelerate and i hit a curb which then caused the car to stop its acceleration. The brakes did not make too much difference as the car was continuing to move forward and rpms continued to increase as i tried to brake. Previously, i had aproblem with high rpm's and increased acceleration and rough idling at 34000 miles.i took it to the dealer who replaced the engine mountwhich i found out was under my powertrain warranty. I have also had the battery replaced. Other than that, those are the only issues i have experienced until today. I called the dealer and they said it must be operator error, but why would the car continue to accelerate with my foot on the brakes? i checked the mat as well and it had not become entangled with the gas pedal as the dealer suggested. The car moving forward at high rpms by itself is a concern. I am happy that i did not have an accident or hit a pedestrian. I am filing this complaint because i believe that this is a serious issue with my vehicle and as i researched, i am finding that others are having the same issue as i am under some of the same circumstances. I am afraid to drive my car!

I drive a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The car is barely 3 years old with less than 36,000 miles. In june while starting from a dead stop on a hill and driving in gently rolling hills the integrated motor assist would often fail to engage to provide the extra power needed to climb the hill. The engine revved to 3000 - 3500 rpm but had no power. When starting from the dead stop the car could not hold it's position on the hill. The dealer could not figure out the cause but they applied two software updates to the computer that might help. They also contacted the honda techline. Honda told my dealer that given the age of the battery (3 years) and when the temperature reaches 100 degrees (there was a coincidental heat wave in the east) this was normal operation. On the specific day this problem started temperatures were in the eighties. The dealer spent two weeks trying to diagnose the problem and a third week arguing with honda that the car did not run right.at this point i contacted honda customer service and they opened an 'investigation'. They took my statement and contacted the dealer. Their conclusion was that the car is operating perfectly normally. This time they said that given the age of the battery, if you use the ima too much the ima battery may overheat and shut down. That is honda's official position and they refuse to take any responsibility to correct the problem.the safety concerns of this problem are obvious. Fortunately traffic was light and there were no accidents. My wife drives a 2003 honda civic hybrid with over 100,000 miles and has never encountered this problem. There was a total redesign of the civic in 2006. Perhaps the honda engineers outsmarted themselves and introduced a design flaw. Or, perhaps there is a defective battery that honda does not want to pay to replace.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph the engine block fractured. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer.

I am the original owner, a conservative driver, rarely exceeding 60 mph to increase mileage, and drive for work in an area east of dallas, texas. I had great mileage and no problems to speak of until this past june. I first had noticed a deterioration in the gas mileage. Then i experienced for the first time a drastic drop in responsiveness. I was entering a hwy from a country road and found myself with no power. This has remained so despite the software update. The number of bars showing on the gauge was significantly fewer, and there would be wild fluctuations of bars. There has been no warning light. I've had several conversations with the dealer. Mailed american honda a complaint, resulting in a call from honda that seemed to me simply a way to mollify.honda apparently does not consider this problem a "safety" issue. I beg to differ. Now i must always be aware that i don't have power (the cooler weather has generally seen a higher number of bars), and mileage has definitely suffered. One clear example is that since the software update, the gas engine does not shut off as much as it used to, especially during hot weather.i bought the car to be a 10 year, 300,000 mile product, with no concern for resale value at the end. Now i'm paralyzed with the prospect of poor resale value, perhaps unable to sell privately - restricted to only the dealership. This was the first time to buy a honed - based on a reputation for durability.
Engine block cracks unexpectedly.
Within 60 days of purchasing a 2007 honda civic from a dealer i experienced roadside damage to my condenser which was not covered under warranty. Two different mechanics informed me that the unit was completely exposed and there was no protection/grill to keep this from happening. They also informed me that this appeared to be a design flaw since most autos do not experience this same issue. After calling honda to complain i was informed that no recall has been issued at this time even though there have been numerous complaints.
My honda civic 2007 got overheated after driving about 7 minutes from home on my way to work early morning. Never seen any visible leaks on the driveway. The maintenance on the car is always up to date and most of the time is done by the dealer where i bought the car from. After i brought the car to the dealer to be diagnosed, the dealer told me that the car has porous leak on the engine block caused by a defect when the casting of the engine took place at honda's manufacturing plant. This porous leak caused the engine block to crack and lose coolant and eventually overheat the car. The dealer recommended me to replace the whole engine. The dealer even faxed me the service bulletin from honda regarding this particular problem. The car currently has about 90,000 miles on it. Since the car has passed the warranty period of 60,000 miles or 3 years whichever comes first, the dealer would not cover the repair and advised me to call american honda. After calling american honda customer service center and telling them about the problem, they refused to replace the engine and insisted that it was not caused by a defective engine instead it was totally my fault for letting the car overheated. I tried to call honda customer service about three times with no results whatsoever. They kept saying that there is nothing they can do due to high mileage that the car has.
Re: [xxx] before description let me say that this vehicle is my third honda hybrid car. The first, an early insight was entirely satisfactory. I wish i still owned it. It is true that it did go through the ima battery reconditioning cycle occasionally, but not very oftenthe second, a civic hybrid, was also quite satisfactory.the third, a 2007 civic hybrid, is the problem. I wish i had never traded up (down?) to it. Ag an early point the computer indicated an ima problem, and the service people told me that the computer indicated that the ima battery was malfunctioning. Your experts required that the computer be reprogrammed so that the computer no longer reported the ima problem. I continue to be told that since the computer says there is nothing wrong there is noting that the dealer can do to fix the problem. At present about five or six times each day the indicator for ima charge drops to 2 and the ima stops providing assist waiting for the battery to recharge. After a while the charge indicator jumps up to full, usually with do partial full steps, and then the boost resumes work. However if i climb any reasonable hill on the highway the charge indicator drops to the point where there is no boost. It is quite clear that the battery will not hold a proper charge. It is increasingly becoming a safety problem since when starting up in traffic i cannot rely on the ima boost to be there when needed.quite honestly, i think it is long past time for you to honor the warranty and replace the ima battery. If there is some other cause for the problem, then it needs fixing.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a question about the 2007 honda civic, i purchased the car on october 31st, 2011 and i noticed that the front end was making a noise and a vibration when i decelerate. Took the car to the dealership and they put new tires onto the vehicle and the problem still existed. Over a little time until today, the noise and vibration is still there and wont go away. I dont know if its coming from the engine or the drivetrain. I think its something serious but i cant really tell not being a certified mechanic. Is there a recall on something related to the drivetrain/front end or engine problem?

The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated thatthe sun visors were warped and would continuously swing down and flap back and forth, obstructing the driver's view of the roadway. The engine would also overheat frequently and the engine block was cracked.in addition, the temperature gauges would not properly monitor the engine temperature. The engine rpms would often exhibit and abnormal increase. On one occasion while exiting the highway on an incline, the vehicle stalled and began to roll backward on the ramp. The contact barely missed crashing into a tractor trailer. The manufacturer advised taking the vehicle to a dealer for diagnostics testing. The manufacturer also stated they would cover ninety percent of the engine block repairs. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. The vehicle had been in the possession of the dealer for over one month. The current and failure mileages were approximately 74,900.

Honda owners have reported engine block failures on 2006-2009 honda civics where cracks form at the bottom and allow engine coolant to escape.honda has acknowledged the defect with an extended warranty but has not agreed to fix the problem until it happens.the issue i have is that there may be no warning of when the 6 cracks will appear and since the coolant escape is in the engine block rather than say a hose there might be no warning until the engine fails and stalls from thermal stresses.this could pose a safety hazard if it happens on a crowded freeway where the driver cannot quickly pull to the side of the road.note: i had to enter an incident date to continue although this has not happened to my car yet.
2007 honda civic hybrid engine/hybrid system operation has become erratic and unpredictable.adequate power to accelerate, merge and safely operate vehicle can suddenly cut out, leaving vehicle with unacceptable performance and creating safety hazard in normal driving conditions.
The car vibrates heavily with a cold start and increases in vibration when in reverse. It takes approx. 10 minutes for the heavy vibration to dissipate, even when driving. The engine mount is apparently going bad per the mechanic that looked at it. I have done some research and there are many others with the same car and the same problem. There is no way that it should be failing with this amount of mileage and the relative age of the car.
It could be serious accident on the highway, and i could be dead, too. But honda doesn't give me a good response for this case. I purchased this car 35 months ago, and the current mileage is 68,000 miles. I have had this car serviced since purchase by honda of decatur as recommended by the owner's manual.i had the car serviced the first week of february with a type b service. The dealer personnel didn't mention any maintenance issues with the drive train after this service.on february 9, 2010 i notice an unusual sweet smell as i drove my car to the airport.because i was traveling on business, i had to leave the car and pick it up on february 11th.shortly after returning on february 11, 2010 the temperature gauge showed the engine was overheating and some smoke came out.i immediately pulled over and turned the car off.i had the car towed to the honda dealer in huntsville, al which was the nearest dealership.after the car was examined i was told by the dealer's service advisor that there is a crack in engine block. At this time they have not been able to identify a cause for this crack.as i explained above the car was recently serviced and the anti-freeze should have prevented freeze damage.the dealer has estimated the repair will cost $3,500-$3,700 and because of the mileage they indicate that honda of huntsville will not able to submit a warranty claim on my behalf.
On my 2007 honda civic hybrid the ima battery will suddenly drop from a charge to no charge. When this happens the car loses almost all acceleration power because the gasoline engine is forced to charge the battery up. This has happened to me during acceleration onto major highways during rush hour which is extremely dangerous without acceleration power. I would like honda motor to address this issue instead of issuing software recalls that do nothing to the car.

I received a notice from honda corporation that the warranty on my 2007 honda civics' engine block has been extended to eight years from date of purchase. I read online that the engine blocks will crack as a result of defective casting at the time the engine blocks were manufactured. I've read online many, many complaints of cracked blocks as a result of this defect. This needs to be a recall and not a warranty extension. This defect will result in complete engine failure and put my family at risk on the highway. Also, this defect will severely devalue my car for sale or trade in value. Honda co. Needs to fix this problem that they are responsible for.

I was driving up a hill toward an intersection with a heavily travelled cross street. I applied the brakes as i approached the intersection and immediately the engine revved up. Within a few seconds in spite of putting all my weight on the brake the carbegan gradually edging forward into the intersection. Without taking my foot of the brake i shifted into park and the engine went back to its regular idling speed. I took it into a honda dealer and they checked it out but they could not find anything wrong. This problem has not reccurred, yet.
While driving my 2007 honda civic hybrid, i was stopped in traffic on a busy street. I was waiting to make a left turn into a business. When i went to turn, the car was very sluggish and had what appeared to be significantly less acceleration than normal.this was caused by the car's computer recalibrating the battery.this recalibrating started happening after a software update. It happens every few days and there is no warning.when it happens the computer artificially lower the charge state forcing the car to go into regeneration state to fully charge the batters. Even though the batter is not really empty, since the computer set the battery level to be empty, the electric motor is no longer used.there should be a warning tone or something to indicate that there will be a significant loss of power.i believe that honda did this software update to make the batteries seem to last longer, but it's really less safe!it's also caused my mileage to go down by about 10% but i realize that is not a safety issue.
2007 honda civic ex 4dr - the engine leaked coolant with no warning.had it towed to honda dealer and they say the engine block is cracked at the coolant passages.honda dealer says they have seen this in the past (tsb #sb-08-044).i am being told by the dealer that i need a new engine block (approx $5,000.00).the car has 99,600 miles on it and i have been the only owner.all maintenance / service has been provided by the honda dealer for cars life.as of right now, honda says it will pay 50% (approx. $2,500.00).
2007 honda civic si ~15700 milesair conditioner failed due to "damage to the condenser by road debris"though car is still under factory warranty, honda will not cover this repair, despite the fact that it is a frequently reported problem associated with a design defect of the car.
The condenser on my 2007 honda civic was recently punctured by a small pebble during normal highway driving.i have since (through internet research) found this to be a prevalent problem among honda civic owners.upon closer examination, i found that there is little protection afforded the condenser.road debris can easily fly through the vents in the front end of the vehicle and puncture the condenser.what happened to me at 60,000 miles has happened to others at 600 miles, and it could happen again tomorrow.the repair cost to replace the condenser ($600) is prohibitive, and the lack of a protective grille is a glaring design flaw.a recall is warranted.i wish this could have been avoided, and honda should be held responsible for the damages incurred to myself and others.
I have owned my 2007 honda civic hybrid for about 21months.i started to have issues with the ima (integrated motor assist, hybrid batteries) last summer (2008) and continue to have issues to date (may 2009).the ima battery that powers the assist motor has been unpredictable and has had degraded performance for the past year causing the car to be underpowered and unsafe to drive on the highway.the ima system routinely fully discharges (especially during the hot summer months in arizona) and leaves the car only to run on the underpowered 1.3 l gas engine. The car is very sluggish, causing safety issues when acceleration is needed in city or interstate driving. My wife drives 3 kids to school (35 miles on way) on a daily basis and is concerned for the kids and her safety on the highway.the batteries also are located under the rear passenger seat.due to the excessive heat the rear passengers (my kids) are always complaining that the seat is warm and that is excessively hot in the back seat since the problem first was observed in last summer 2008, i have taken it to several different honda dealerships. They all state that this is 'normal' operation and unless the service light comes on that nothing is wrong.the service light they are referring to is the p1433 battery degraded code that states to replace the batteries.it seems odd that they wait until the batteries are totally failed and depleted before they will change them.i noticed that honda does have a tsb out covering excessive heat and that it can severely damage the ima batteries.this states that if the temperature is above 150 degrees f that the batteries can be damaged or fail.i know that heat soaking the car for 8-10 hours in the full sun at 110+ degrees (shade temp) can easily heat the ima batteries to very close to 150 degrees.i am highly concerned for the safety of my wife and kids that she drives and others that may be effected.
2007 honda civic with cracked engine block and coolant was leaking from the vehicle.the consumer was informed there was a casting defect in the engine block and a tsb had been issued.
At 59,361 miles the car started leaking coolant while i was on a trip to california.took it to the dealer.it had a cracked block.honda replaced the short block and resurfaced the head under warranty.no loaner car or offer to supply rental.
2007 honda civic ex faulty ac condenser. Stopped working abruptly. Dealer told me before looking at it that it was a rock that had put a hole in it. Indicated they had seen numerous condensers on 2007 honda models that this had happened. They would not replace it, even with it under warranty since they determined it to be a rock that caused this small hole. I followed up on internet and saw that there have been hundreds of other honda owners with this same problem and honda refuses to do anything to help. This is absolutely a defective make in this vehicle.honda does not want to assume any responsibility for this problem that should be covered under warranty. A car 3 years old should not have this happening to it. I have maintained this car with all service agreements and maintenance records.
My honda civic 2007 got overheated after driving about 7 minutes from home on my way to work early morning. Never seen any visible leaks on the driveway. The maintenance on the car is always up to date and most of the time is done by the dealer where i bought the car from. After i brought the car to the dealer to be diagnosed, the dealer told me that the car has porous leak on the engine block caused by a defect when the casting of the engine took place at honda's manufacturing plant. This porous leak caused the engine block to crack and lose coolant and eventually overheat the car. The dealer recommended me to replace the whole engine. The dealer even faxed me the service bulletin from honda regarding this particular problem. The car currently has about 90,000 miles on it. Since the car has passed the warranty period of 60,000 miles or 3 years whichever comes first, the dealer would not cover the repair and advised me to call american honda. After calling american honda customer service center and telling them about the problem, they refused to replace the engine and insisted that it was not caused by a defective engine instead it was totally my fault for letting the car overheated. I tried to call honda customer service about three times with no results whatsoever. They kept saying that there is nothing they can do due to high mileage that the car has.
Noticed uneven tire wear and vibration on my honda civic hybrid, and notified honda service about this issue when i brought in the car for oil change. The service department looked at the car and said that the rear tires were worn, and this was due to rear suspension problem. Honda would cover the cost of that fix, but i also needed four new tires -- not covered by honda. He offered to move the rear tires up front and just focus on the rear ($280 for two tires). After researching the issue and finding that there was a service bulletin issued last spring, i declined to have two worn tires with evidence of cupping put on the front of a front wheel drive car. I asked why i hadn't been notified of this design flaw when i had brought in the car for a pre-roadtrip check in july (he said if i did not tell him to look for rear tire wear they wouldn't look) or why he didn't note it two weeks later when i brought the car in because the a/c had failed on the trip (another known defect, i now realize). The car also seems to have an electric switching irregularity, which has yet to be diagnosed. The service rep said unless i specifically ask, they wouldn't have looked for the rear suspension issue-- even though there had been a service bulletin -- because "not every civic has the problem."i cannot imagine that at 15,600 miles (where it was in july) that the tires did not then have signs of uneven wear that now has necessitated tire replacement at 19,000 miles. I replaced two tires, one of which honda covered. We have issued a complaint with honda to cover the cost of two other new tires, which they said would be resolved within three working days.
It could be serious accident on the highway, and i could be dead, too. But honda doesn't give me a good response for this case. I purchased this car 35 months ago, and the current mileage is 68,000 miles. I have had this car serviced since purchase by honda of decatur as recommended by the owner's manual.i had the car serviced the first week of february with a type b service. The dealer personnel didn't mention any maintenance issues with the drive train after this service.on february 9, 2010 i notice an unusual sweet smell as i drove my car to the airport.because i was traveling on business, i had to leave the car and pick it up on february 11th.shortly after returning on february 11, 2010 the temperature gauge showed the engine was overheating and some smoke came out.i immediately pulled over and turned the car off.i had the car towed to the honda dealer in huntsville, al which was the nearest dealership.after the car was examined i was told by the dealer's service advisor that there is a crack in engine block. At this time they have not been able to identify a cause for this crack.as i explained above the car was recently serviced and the anti-freeze should have prevented freeze damage.the dealer has estimated the repair will cost $3,500-$3,700 and because of the mileage they indicate that honda of huntsville will not able to submit a warranty claim on my behalf.
Air conditioner was blowing only hot air.had to have the condenser replaced.took the dealer 90 minutes to locate the issue.was unsure what caused it but perhaps a pebble.not covered under warranty.dealer said this happens quite a bit.i believe it's a flaw in the design and protection of this part.
2007 honda civic ~18,000 miles.air conditioner failed due to "damage to the condenser by road debris" though car is still under factory warranty, honda will not cover this repair, despite the fact that it is a frequently reported problem associated with a design defect of the car.
2007 honda civic exa/c stopped working. Bought car 2/18/07 with 18 miles on it. Told by dealer rock probably hit condenser.dealer could not show me where the puncture area was. Dealer indicated warranty would not cover repair. Before this happened, my air conditioning when turned on would rattle really bad, took it in for servicing, they tightened the drive belt, air conditioning was still rattling, they indicated that nothing was wrong.now i have no air. I have researched other honda owners and they have had the same problems.i have printed out many complaints about this happening to a/c condensers and the reasons that the dealer has given.this seems to be a defect in honda's manufacturing of the car that happens to be a very costly repair to the consumer when it is not their fault.
I bought a honda civic sedan in 2007 and less than two months after i bought my air conditioner stopped working. I took it into the shop and without even looking at it they told me a rock probably hit my condenser and broke my a/c.this seems to be a known problem with honda and it is a very expensive part to fix.i have been going a few month without a/c because i cannot afford such a repair.this should be covered under warranty or honda should provide some type of protection over the condenser.
2007 honda civic ex sedan:upon a trip (60 miles) home from the cleveland airport 1-26-10, i smelled coolant burning and a sudden cloud of steam from under the hood.upon further investigation of this incident, the determined cause was the engine block had cracked allowing coolant to be sprayed onto the manifold causing the burning smell and clouds of steam. While honda cannot provide a reasoning behind this failure, it appears or would seem to be a casting issue for the 2006-07 models.the car is out of warranty by 35k miles at the time of failure and honda declined all efforts to assist with this problem. I am hearing and seeing numerous issues exactly identical to mine well within the warranty period for others and honda is claiming there is "no" problem with these engines.the car has been dealer maintained and has all highway miles due to my job. Not sure how many complaints it takes to issue a recall but there is definitely a problem with the 2007 civic engine castings. This overheating could ultimately lead to a fire or serious injury should a driver not understand the indicant at hand. I do know there is a tsb regarding this problem #08-044.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.when the vehicle is started in the mornings, the engine becomes sluggish during the first two miles of driving.the engine does not stall, but has little acceleration power while driving 5 mph.after the engine has warmed, the vehicle operates normally.the vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealer 3 times.the current mileage was 8,500 and failure mileage was 3,113. Updated 5/5/08 the consumer stated he was not able to accelerate to keep up with the traffic. Updated 05/05/08.
Own a 2007 honda civic hybrid.after about one year of ownership, the car started exhibiting troubling characteristics with the power management and available power.the car relies on a gas engine and electric assist to provide full power in all driving situations.during the summer when teperatures rise, the car starts to have difficulty providing power from the electric motor due to the battery crashing to 0.once the battery "recalibrates" the car provides very little power using only the gas engine.this battery crash happens on a daily basis and means in the real world that when i am pulling out into traffic i may have very little power to get the car up to speed and risk getting hit by oncoming traffic.to say the car becomes "sluggish" is an overstatement.honda has been unwilling to address this issue and it appears that the ar has a material defect that prevents the batteries from operating as intended in real world situations.when the air conditioner is in operation the battery will crash each time you drive the car.i feel very unsafe in this vehicle and honda is doing nothing to address the complaints.
Water pump belt tensioner belt broke off in block, causing sudden stopping of car causing rear-end crash.
My 2007 honda civic ex. First started having problems at around 50,000 miles when the car was hesitant to accelerate, and the car overheated once. I took into the honda dealership, very informal, they gave me no paperwork or proof that they looked at my vehicle, they claimed that nothing was wrong with my vehicle and that it may have been place under unusually harsh conditions or the extreme outside temperature of 92 degrees fahrenheit could have caused the overheating. The honda certified mechanic did not observed the vehicle to be overheating, and could not replicate any issues on the vehicle. Thinking that they made a full diagnosis i continued to drive my vehicle. A few months later the car started to smell like something was burning and the car was very hesitant to move, i placed the vehicle on park and looked under the hood, smoke was coming out and i looked under the car and what looked like antifreeze was dripping under the car. I immediately had the car towed to the dealership and asked to make another diagnosis, this time they came back and said that my vehicle had a crack on the engine block. The honda dealership said that since the car is over the designated warranty miles to be covered by the manufacturer that i would have to pay out of pocket, about 5,000 dollars. Dealership told me that the engine block cracking is a common issue on this vehicle and that it could be a manufacturer defect, but the dealership could not fix it because the manufacturer is not covering the vehicle due to the fact that its over the manufacturer's warranty. I protested claiming that i took in into the honda service shop a few month earlier, had they examined the vehicle properly then it would have been detected under warranty, either way the vehicle should not have a cracked engine block at 50,000 miles. Car is now sitting in my garage, since i don't have the money to pay for the repair and the car can't be driven.
In november 2009, i purchased a used 2007 honda civic from a used dealership in alpharetta, ga.it was purchased as is so i immediately took it to voyles honda in marietta, ga for a total check-up.the car was serviced and given the green light.it had 74,960 miles on it at the time.on march 8, 2010, on my way back home from jacksonville, fl the car started to decelerate quickly.i was on i95 northbound with my son, and it was a very scary few moments for us.we managed to park the car on the emergency lane.the car would not come back on.when we looked under the hood, there was no smoke but there was a funny smell.my son took the dipstick out of the engine and it was melted!we had to have the car towed to yulee to a local mechanic who said the engine was gone.after staying in a local hotel for the night, my husband picked us up on march 9.when i got home i made arrangements to have the car towed to grainger honda in savannah.grainger gets the car in and after a $92.00 charge for looking at it, tells me that the engine is gone and they can get me a great deal for $4,600.00 (a used engine with 19,000 miles on it). Well in the mean time, my son had been researching this problem on line and found that there are many 2006-2007 honda civic owners having the same problem.he found honda service bulletin 08-044 which states there is a mechanical defect in some of these engines.the bulletin also states that customers that are out of warranty when this happens may be eligible for goodwill consideration.i explained several employees of grainger honda but their response was that they would need to 'take down' the engine at a tune of about $500-$600.he said they might be willing to pick up 25% of the cost. I told him absolutely not.i told him this was a defect that honda was very much aware of and that honda should pay for the entire repair.i also contacted honda of america and was told they would do nothing.
I was driving locally yesterday, and my car overheated.i pulled over and let the engine cool down, then checked the coolant in the radiator.it was empty, as was the reserve tank.after letting the car completely cool, i drove it to the local gas station and purchased some engine coolant.i filled up the radiator and the reserve tank, and drove home.i had an appointment at a dealer for today already, so i brought this up to them.they said it was a cracked engine block.this car is a 2007 honda civic lx, with ~65k miles on it.it's not even 4 years old yet.i'm waiting on the dealer to find out how much this will cost me.

I have a 2007 honda civic. I have replaced 4 sets of tires on this car due to the back tires wearing flat. Honda reported it was a rear end problem and replaced parts. The car still makes too much road noise. No tires were replaced by honda for this problem.in addition, my engine block is now cracked, and it happened without warning. The block is being replaced by honda with only a 12,000 mile warranty or one year.
3 months after buying vehicle noticed ac running warm. First told by honda carland cartersville that nothing was wrong.took it back to honda carland roswell that freon was low and coolant but no leak.have had continuous problems with ac running hot.yesterday went to grocery store and when i walked backed to car noticed something leaking underneath.tried to get it to car repair place but car immediately ran hot.towed it and they called saying that the engine block has a crack.noticing multiple complaints for 06-07 honda civic engine block cracks with initial problems showing in ac and coolant.
I currently own a 2007 honda civic hybrid.the honda civic hybrid relies on the hybrid batteries (ima batteries) to power the vehicle during accelerations and on a normal basis the batteries are recharged during vehicle decelerations.the issue i am having has been going on for over a year with no support to fix the issue from honda.the charge in my ima batteries is always 0-2 bars (i have photos showing this) which causes the vehicle to have very limited acceleration.add the a/c being on now in the summer and the car is basically useless.also, when the system (vehicle computer) sees that the ima batteries are low or empty it forces the engine to recharge the batteries when the vehicle is stopped ,which is not a 'normal' operation.when the system goes into a 'forced' recharge it commands the engine to go to a higher rpm to charge the batteries when you are stopped this in turn causes the vehicle to jump or lurch forward when you release the brake pedal.this also concerns me since you need to ensure you leave enough space between you and the car in front of you and especially leave space if you are behind a pedestrian crosswalk.i have contact all the honda dealers in the east valley and they tell me the same story.the all agree that batteries should never be at zero and the car should not jump/lurch forward, but unless the ima light goes on in the dashboard (p07af battery deterioration code for honda) there is nothing wrong and there is anything they can do.in summary, due to the excessive heat we have in arizona the ima batteries in the honda civic hybrid to fail causing limited/low acceleration and the vehicle to jump forwards during a stop.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact observed while driving approximately 5 mph, the temperature gauge reading was over the half way point. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle. The engine was turned off. There was a coolant leak and steam underneath the hood of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure was contributed to a cracked engine block. The vehicle had not been repaired at this time. The failure and current mileages were 62,409.

Vehicle was towed to dealer.dealer serviceman reports a bolt was severed possibly factory error. Damages incurred were broken timing chain, rocker arm bolt broken, broken head and major leakage. Serviceman reports all parts replaced, however vehicle no longer works at full capacity. Engine/transmission makes grinding noise. Additional noises from rear suspension also. Vehicle returned for service 2x's since incident without success.current problems, (noise and sluggishness) occur after vehicle is driven for more than 1 hour. Customer requested old parts at time of service, but were not given. Serviceman stated parts were returned to the factory for inspection.
My honda civic hybrid is giving off unsafe levels of emf's. It has caused me to fall asleep at the wheel 3x and have had to take naps after1/2 hr of driving. My b/p has been out of control since using the car alot. My dog goes into pre-seizure after 5 min in car. I have to get rides when i take her to the dr.honda will not address this issue without documentation from my local dealer. My dealer refuses to document. The field engineer will noto look at the car without documents. This is a very big safety issue with fatiguealso only the prius. Think of all the hybrids out there with people getting tired and possibly falling asleep. These cars can be shielded from these very high levels of emf's. There really is no incident date because this is ongoing.
Egr on 2003 honda civic hybrid failed at 55000 miles, 5 years.warranty was for 50000, 3 years.
2007 honda civic ex faulty ac condenser. Stopped working abruptly. Dealer told me before looking at it that it was a rock that had put a hole in it. Indicated they had seen numerous condensers on 2007 honda models that this had happened. They would not replace it, even with it under warranty since they determined it to be a rock that caused this small hole. I followed up on internet and saw that there have been hundreds of other honda owners with this same problem and honda refuses to do anything to help. This is absolutely a defective make in this vehicle.honda does not want to assume any responsibility for this problem that should be covered under warranty. A car 3 years old should not have this happening to it. I have maintained this car with all service agreements and maintenance records.
Ima battery deterioration and/or ima battery draining resulting in little power/pickup.
I just purchased a 2007 honda civic sedan ex 2 weeks ago.it only has 800 miles on it.i have done nothing more than normal driving and the air conditioner stopped working.it began blowing hot air.i took it to my dealer and they said that a stone had puntured the air conditioner condenser.they said it was just bad luck and it is not covered uner warranty from honda.it cost me $675.50.i did my research on the internet and others have experienced the same problem with low mileage new honda's.this is obviously a problem with honda's design.something needs to be done.
I bought my new '07 civic lx four weeks ago. When i turn on the air conditioner on low: it consistently cycles (a vertical fan near the engine) and makes a very loud clicking noise every seven seconds (like dropping a marble on a piece of metal). The noise continues--whether the car is stopped or moving--and seems to get louder and louder; to the point where other passengers in my car are hearing it (even if i have the radio turned on). The only way to stop the noise it to turn the fan speed to high--so the "vertical fan" near the engine continuously runs (doesn't turn on and off). The noise doesn't occur when the heater is turned on. I took my car to the auto dealer: the first time, the manager didn't have the a/c inspected--told me that it's normal. A week later, i took it to the dealer a second time: they claim to have "compared with like vehicle"..."air conditioner operating as designed by honda." (that's what was written on my customer copy repair invoice.) my auto dealer never showed me the "like vehicle" to prove to me that--the consistent loud noise--is a normal procedure.i've driven less superior cars (ford escort and chevrolet tracker) and never had such a problem.
A/c out on 1 year old honda civic.dealer says "rock hit the a/c condenser".this is either a faulty part or a design flaw and has been noted by honda owners as far back as 2003 (according to web research).car is currently in san diego and this is a safety issue as an over heated driver could be distracted or drowsy.car has not yet been fixed - honda denies any responsibility and cost to fix is over $600.
I was pulling into a parking space when all of the sudden the car started to accelerate.i was pushing as hard as i could on the breaks and they weren't working.i then ran into a tree and immediately put the car into park.i had to turn the car off because it was smoking.i am not sure if the engine was still running after i hit the tree or not.i know that my foot was firmly planted on the brake, checked to see where my feet were after hitting the tree and turning the car off.i have never had this happen before in my car.it only has 34000 miles.it has had regular maintenance such as oil change and the tires were replaced at 25,000 miles.
I was on a 700 mile trip to visit my family member. In the midway the a/c condenser got damaged and a/c stopped working that lead to suffocation due to hot and humid environment. I had to drive the car for 7 hours in 110 f temperature with open windows on highway. I dehydrated and fell sick and vomited couple of times. There is no safety for condenser to protect it to get hit from pebbles on the road. It is a very common safety problem and honda is not fixing it. This incident could lead to accident and/or injury.
I took my 2007 honda civic to the dealer because of extreme vibrations from the rear of the car.i was told that the rear suspension is bad, causing my rear tires to go bad.they said that they had seen this problem on other cars and would pay for half of the price for a new set of tires but only if i bought the tires from them.my car is 15 months old and i have already had it in the shop twice for problems.i will never buy another honda.

Sensors were inspected and they deemed no repair necessary. On 12/26/07 took car to dealer for same noise when turning wheel. Steering wheel locked up when driving!! when accelerating, car made a whining type of noise. Dealer kept my car over night and found p/s pump whining due to no fluid in system. P/s rack was leaking. Power steering reservoir was empty. Found power steering rack leaking from both ends. Replaced power steering rack and realigned wheels. On 7/7/08 took car to dealer,steering wheel locked up again while driving. Still have noise when turning the steering wheel back and forth. Dealer kept my car for 3 days without giving a loner to me. When dealer did diagnostic, they pulled up 7 codes and stated "gauge control lost communication, may be old codes related to past repairs. Did not find a cause for steering to lock. Found that the noise when turning the wheel was caused from the seal at the firewall was rubbing on steering shaft. Corrected insulation and found when at idle and turning wheel, hood vibrated and made a noise. They adjusted rubber stoppers and rechecked saying it is all ok. Now, today on 7/17/08 i had steering wheel lock up on me for a brief second. Took my car to a mechanic i know and they told me to fill out this form. They said the noise i hear in my steering column should have been fixed by dealer. I called dealer at 3 pm today and will be taking my car back to dealer tomorrow morning at 9. My car is still randomly having the steering freeze on me when driving, the noise when turning my steering wheel, and i now have a crackling noise in my a/c!
Air conditioning condenser coil received damage apparently caused bt a pebble that was kicked up while driving on the highway.this appears to be a common problem amongst honda owners from the research i've done, particularly with late-model hondas.there is virtually no protection against such an event and this part appears much too fragile to be exposed as it is.the condenser must be replaced and i'm waiting to hear from the service manager whether he'll cover it under the warranty, but i'm expecting to have to file an insurance claim.
Air conditioner stopped working.i took it into the dealer for diagnosticsthey told me that my air compressor was hit by road debrisand it's not covered by manufacturer warranty.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving various speeds, the headlights turned yellow, which made it difficult for the contact to drive. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (luther brookdale honda, located at 6800 brooklyn blvd, brooklyn center, mn 55429; (612) 424-7830) where it was diagnosed that the headlight lenses needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 800-999-5901 and stated that there were no recalls under the vin. Case number: 1132731 was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.
Reported to dealer that center high mount brake light worked intermittently. They could not duplicate problem. After brake light totally stopped working returned to dealer (10,000 miles later) and was told it was more than likely a burned out bulb. The brake light doesn't have a bulb but a row of 5 leds. Was told to return the following week to pay for diagnostic to determine the problem. I removed the light at home and found a clip the power wire going to the light was wrapped around was causing the problem. Taking the wire off the clip where it was tightly wrapped around fixed the problem and the light worked every time the brake pedal was depressed. Still waiting to contact honda usa about the problem. Looked up the problem on google and found several other complaints about the light not working consistently. The design of the led brake light seems to be the cause of the problems.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While attempting to shift gears, the shift lever would not shift out of the park position due to a faulty brake light switch. In addition, the rear brake lights failed to illuminate. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 07v402000 (exterior lighting). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
During a routine oil change 'equipment inspection' was informed the third brake light was 'burned out'.as this is a multi-light led, the probability of the all the led to have failed was suspicious. Dealer rep was very sure entire unit required replacement and quoted a price of nearly $200 for repair of a piece of safety equipment.deferred repair to further investigate. Web search shows this is a extremely common occurrence on 2007 and later civics.problem is not the led but the solder joints on the assembly which fail frequently.as this is a design deficiency in a piece of safety equipment, one would expect a recall to correct.apparently as the problem requires 'immediate' repair in most states with annual safety inspections, it has not garnered sufficient traction with nhtsa to warrant action. (note: actual fail date/mileage is unknown).
My lowbeams all of a sudden stopped working. I checked the fuses, they are fine. My running/fog lights, blinkers, and high beams all work. It sounds exactly like the recall the dealer has for the previous generations of my car found here: https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/documentum/recall_press%2frecall_press_release_0000060.pdf.

I am only entering lighting on this complaint.it is now apparent to me that most 2007 honda civic sedans suffer from failure of the third (high mounted) brake light.this light works intermittently and may not have been working at time that i was involved in a rear-end collision. I also own a 2006 honda civic sedan that has the same problem.in my day to day driving, i have noticed that most other honda civic sedans also suffer from failure of the third brake light. I feel that this is a manufacturer defect that compromises safety and should be investigated.
Ex coupe models. 3rd high mount brake light malfunctioning. Vehicle failed inspection for this reason. Light came back on then went off again while moving wires a few times. Led light not blown, still working but wiring is causing the malfunction. Going to have the vehicle re-wired correctly. I see many complaints online from consumers with this same problem. Very expensive to fix. Led lights shouldn't blow out this soon but to repair the problem the whole led strip has to be replaced and only honda carries the part. Its also very hard to access the led panel/strip for replacement. Re-wiring is the only cheaper option.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving multiple times and at multiple speeds, the third brake light only illuminated when the temperature was low and failed when the temperature rose. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the led light failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
The center third brake light fails repeatedly. It is an led light and safety factor. I am on my 3rd light on a 2007 model. First replaced in dec. 2010, and again on dec. 2016 an led light should last longer than then that.

The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving various speeds, the contact was pulled over by the police and notified that the vehicle's brake lights were not illuminating. The contact stated that the light bulb was changed, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the contact received a recall notice from honda regarding the brake light switch on april 5, 2008.the dealer advised her to bring in the vehicle for inspection. Once inspected,the dealer stated that they had to order the repair part and would call her to schedule an appointment.the contact stated that the recall has been ongoing since the end of 2007 and the parts should be available by now.she is afraid to drive the vehicle because the brake lights may not illuminate.there had been no failure to date. The current mileage was 14,500.updated 4/29/08
The "brake system" indicator light came on, and the brake lights on the back of the car did not illuminate when the brake pedal was pushed. The car was also difficult to shift out of park. The repair was the replacement of the brake pedal switch, a known recall on honda civics from the previous model year.

I am the owner of a 2007 honda civic hybrid living in los angeles, california so i'm sure you are already aware of what this is regarding.starting in the winter of 2009, i noticed that my mileage wasbeginning to drop and that the acceleration of my vehicle was diminishing significantly.before this problem started, i was averaging around 45 miles per gallon but this has since diminished to around 34.i got the car checked out repeatedly and they put some sort of update on my battery and told me nothing was wrong but then there was an article about this problem in the los angeles times.honda then offered another software update to "fix" the problem but i have heard nothing but negative things about it.a friend of mine who has the exact same make and model as me got this new update and nothing at all changed and he is still getting a check emissions system warning on his dashboard.i don't know who else i should be contacting about this issue but i hope to find out whatever i can to help get whatever could be done to get some sort of a recall on this car in motion.it is insulting what honda is putting us through and is making me seriously consider abandoning the honda mark forever.
Upon reading report # 10235631 on honda civic 2007,"a sound like water rushing from the rear underside of car upon braking and accelerating":my 2007 honda civic does this also.it is obvious to me that it is the partial tank of gasoline sloshing back and forth inside the gas tank.most, if not all, cars' gas tanks have sheet metal baffles inside the gas tank to limit the sloshing of fuel upon motion of car.either the baffles are not adequate or non-existent.dealer just looks at me when i mentioned this.i know cars inside and out, as i have done almost all of the mechanical repairs on my cars for 55 years, including the innards of the gas tank. "it's a no-brainer" !
When engine is warm and car is at idle (either when stopped at traffic light or when parking before shutdown) and you open/close sun roof and/or power windows the rpms dip, car shakes, and engine almost stalls before rpms recover to normal idle.this has happened at least two dozen times and started happening soon after taking delivery.at approx 400 miles car was taken into dealer and dealer was able to reproduce the problem on my vehicle and also reproduced the problem on other new civics on dealer lot.dealer reset pcm and performed idle relearn procedure.this did not resolve the problem.dealer reported to honda engineering and they had no knowledge of issue and offered no advice.additionally at approx 600 miles after car sat unused all dayand when attempting to start later that night, the car did not start on first attempt.on second attempt and after cranking longer than usual for startup, the car started roughly with a jolt and ran rough (car shaking) for 3-5 seconds.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 70 mph the front left tire struck a piece of wood and ruptured the fuel tank. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that the vehicle was leaking gasoline. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer who stated that there was a hole in the fuel tank. The vehicle is currently being repaired at a cost of $640.00. The contact is in the process of contacting the manufacturer. The contact does not feel the repair will remedy the failure since the dealer is replacing the failed component with a plastic fuel tank without a guard to protect the fuel tank from road debris or recurring. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was 54,010.
Under humid conditions, the main battery of this hybrid suddenly drains, leaving the car without the electric motor.in this vehicle, this means that there is very limited torque (normally supplied by the electric motor).this first occurred in the summer of 2007 and has continued with increasing frequency to the present time.this brought to the attention of the selling dealership (southern motors of savannah) in august of 2007 and at the end of september of the same year.they claimed they could find nothing wrong despite being shown photographic evidence of the failure.the car was returned to the dealership on august 8, 2008 with further proof of the problem.the have claimed that they contacted american honda and were told that honda was aware of the problem but had found no solution.the car was returned to me on august 27, 2007 with the condition unresolved.

I bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid from a certified honda dealership.the design flaw of the rear tire arms of the vehicle caused the tire arm to rub on the tires of the car until the tires were nearly bald causing the car to shutter and the structure of the tires to weaken endangering me and my passengers.when i took the car to honda, i was forced to replace the tires prematurely 2 times since owning the car due to the irregular wear on the tires.honda did not notify me of the problem, refused to pay for new tires but finally admitted after the second pair of tires were rubbed bald, that the tire arm of the car was causing damage to the tires.they repaired the tire arm, but would not pay for new tires.the transmission of the car is also flawed in design.occasionally when accelerating, the gas pedal of the car can be pushed to the floor and the car will not continue to accelerate and will loose power.this has happened at stop lights, entering the freeway, and going up hills endangering my life and the lives of my passengers.honda again, did not notify me of the problem, but told me when i brought the car in after experiencing the problems that i needed an upgrade to my computer and that those upgrades may fix the problem. Those updates to the computers effect the battery of the hybrid part of the car's engine. Those batteries are loosing the ability to hold a chargeand causing the transmission to fail because the car relies on that battery power to run the engine.the gas mileageof the car has also been steadily declining.when the car was new, it got 45 mpg and honda advertised it get 50 mpg, the car now gets around 33 mpg.the computer updates are changing the way the car runs off of gas and battery power and honda is not replacing the faulty batteries.this has endangered my life and the lives of my passengers because the faulty batteries effect how the car operates.
The integrated motor assist (ima) system on my 2007 honda civic hybrid has been malfunctioning on a daily basis since the weather has been greater than 90 degrees this year.the system behaves erratically without warning, causing an extreme decrease in the hybrid motor battery charge and overall vehicle power at unexpected times.this loss of power causes a significant change in the anticipated performance of the vehicle, including the lack of sufficient power to overtake a vehicle (pass) or to maintain a safe speed relative to other cars when on an incline, without a significant increase in the gas engine rpm.additionally, the ability to accelerate from a stop at a comparable rate to other vehicles is not possible without the assistance of the ima, causing unexpected backups of traffic behind my vehicle.at times (intermittent problem) the regenerative charging system seems to be fighting with the vehicles acceleration when coming to a stop.this causes random changes in the braking power and the resultant brake pressure required on the brake pedal.this results in small andunexpected power/accelerating surges when coming to a stop, which compromises the ability to safely judge the distance and speed at which to begin applying the brake in anticipation of an upcoming stop.
Car would not start due to low battery charge.cause is unknown.after battery jump, the ima system of the honda civic hybrid did not function.ima yellow caution light and green drive light (flashing) were on and off.i was told to drive it for 45 minutes to recharge.this was dangerous as there was a lack of power.at rest, the car and steering nearly shuts down!the car is at the dealer.they are having problems diagnosing the problem.the dealer indicated that 21 error codes came on and that they are contacting honda.this is a serious safety hazard!
The 2007 honda civic si (manual transmission) includes a "drive-by-wire" fuel throttle system that simulates leaving your foot on the accelerator even when your foot has been removed from the pedal when attempting to shift gears or attempting to decelerate.this condition presents a safety threat as well as necessitating excessive braking force causing unnecessary premature wearing of the brake lining and rotors. A tsb was released for the 2006 honda civic si that attempts to address this same issue.however, this correction is either not addressed on the 2007 model or not sufficiently addressed to correct the safety threat caused by this condition.

Steam blurred my vision while driving on a city street at low speed in my 2007 civic from an apparent cracked engine block leaking coolant on hot engine from aknown manufactures defect of engine blocks produced in the factory for the years 2006 to 2009 civics 1.8l engine . The bulletin # was 10 048 tsb.car is over the age cutoff for the free new engine from hinda. So i am stuck with an unsafe broken car from the companies defect per honda corp. Representatives.
On august 31, 2017 while i was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly.fortunately i managed to pull over the car to a safe place immediately beside the highway otherwise i would have been in a fatal situation. I had the car towed to the dean honda at pittsburgh where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem.they identified that there was crack in the engine block which has caused the coolant to leak from the engine and hence overheating of the engine has happened.they told me that the engine has to be replaced and few other parts as well (like spark plug etc.) to make the car running again which would cost me around $4000.i did some research over the internet regarding this issue and found that most of the 2006 to 2009 civics had the engine crack issue and tsb 10-048 was issued and the warranty of such engines were extended to 10 years and that would cover the replacement of the engine if such issues are found. I checked with my service consultant at dean honda if this would be covered under the extended warranty. He did a vin inquiry and said the warrant has expired 10 days ago and this won't be covered. (the original purchase date of the car was 22-aug-2007 and this incident happened to me on 31-aug-2017). This is a big blow to me. This is my first car in the us. I bought this car as the second owner in july 2015 with only 36000 miles on it and i have hardly driven 15000 miles over the past two years without any issues.the previous owner also never had any issues with it and that's why i purchased it with confidence. Considering customer's safety, these engines needs to be recalled by honda and replaced with new ones or at least the warranty of these engines needs to be extended further (for at least for 5 more years). I was lucky enough to survive a fatal accident.

Like all others who own honda hybrid my ima batteries failed long before they should have now with massive electrical system in car drains 12v battery and you end up with no brakes or steering in traffic and subject to serious injury or death why no recall when this is happening to everyone who owns this hybrid since it was introduced in 2001 shameful oversight by your agency.
Vehicle would not start. Car engine cracked which is a safety issue and known issue to honda for this model and year of the civic. I had my three kids, including an infant in the car. Took it to honda where they explained that there was an extended warranty that we had just missed. My car is in impeccable shape with low mileage (80,000). Honda refused to cover the engine crack in full (expecting us to play 3,000), stating that we were not loyal honda customers as our other car was a toyota. The car had recently been serviced by honda and the airbag recall was fixed. At that point, they should have communicated to us regarding the engine and the changes to warranty based on the known issue.
I cant open gas cover but i can open the truck of the car
The ima system on my 2007 honda civic hybrid goes through what i call a discharge cycle mostly in warmer weather. This culminates in lose of all ima functions. I my case this lose is brief. It however make the operation of the vehicle erratic. Honda has made no real attempt to get to the bottom.of this problem. Honda should buy this vehicle back at full retail value since it will be difficult to sell. I my state if i pursued this in small claims court i could be entitled to three times the damage.
2007 civic hybrid with 46000 mi, the ima btry is very weak, and honda refuses to honor their 80000 mi warranty.for the 1st two years the mileage was 51.3 mpg.now it has dropped to 39 - 42 mpg, and the ima battery rarely boosts the car during acceleration.this is dangerous when entering an interstate hwy, and even pulling out of my housing development onto the 45 mph road beside us. Engine rarely stops when stopped at a traffic light, which it used to do all of the time. Both local hondadealer and honda of america say they cannot replace battery until the computer gives a code saying it needs to be replaced.thus i paid several thousand dollars extra for a car that does not save much gas and is unsafe to drive.if i drive locally with no a/c, the ima system will show 6 or 7 squares of charge when i park it.when i start the car the next day, the charge will drop to 1 - 3 squares in the approx 1 block to the entrance to my housing development, driving at 15 mph.then, when i stop at the stop sign and try to accelerate to 45 mph to blend into the traffic i have no boost from the hybrid system.last monday i almost got run over by a semi while trying to accelerate up to 60 mph when entering the interstate hwy.this car is no longer safe to drive!

2007 honda civic hybrid very unstable on icy road conditions especially at low speeds when cycling between electric motor, gas engine and completely shutting off. In stop and go traffic if i did not put the vehicle into neutral the car would lurch and lose traction when cycling through drive systems. As a side bar i had 4 new tires installed on the vehicle on january 14, 2009. 12 day prior to the icy road conditions. Honda needs to address this issue.
I own a 2007 honda civic hybrid.the hybrid batteries discharge in warm weather leaving the car dangerously under-powered.this occurs several times per day and when it does the car does not accelerate fast enough to safely merge onto the highway, change lanes or turn before oncoming traffic. It can be very scary at times.initially the problem only occurred in very hot weather but is worsening and now occurs routinely in regular warm air ' most any time the a/c is used.the honda dealership said they acknowledge the problem but can only say that honda corporate is aware and investigating.safety dictates that this investigation move faster.
I have honda civic si 2007. I have been experiencing a problem with 3rd gear. It pops out and sometimes it's hard to get it in the 3dr gear. The problem happened more frequently when the weather is cool and it's intermediate.it could happen 2 times a day or 2 times a week depending on the weather/driving time and conditions. I took my car to the honda dealership in mahwah, nj (as i been told carhas been taking for the test drive 7 times and total 22 miles on it)and nanuet, ny(2 times total 10 miles) and i also called honda of america to file a complaint about it 3 times(case # [xxx]). As a result dealerships couldn't replicate the problem and honda of america only can advise me to go to the different dealership. I have extended warranty on this car it will expire in august 2013 and as i was told at honda of america it becomes my problem after warranty will expire. This is the worst costumer care service owning a car i have ever experienced, and it's honda.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a rear wheel bearing failing.i have learned of a honda service bulletin (07-055).the honda dealership states that the work has been accomplished.the last step in the inspection/repair procedure (step 13) instructs to:center-punch a completion mark below the seventh character of the engine compartment vin: *slide open the frame number door on the center cowl cover. *use a long punch to reach the vin.(see service bulletin for example)there is no punch mark on my vehicle.if this portion of the process was not completed, how am i to be ensured that the procedure was performed completely?
I was driving my car on highway at 60 mph and suddenly i felt jerk and car was shaking. It was very dangerous to drive. Suddenly engine light was on. Next day i took my car to my mechanic he told me it is problem with transmission. Soi took my car to transmission repair shop. The guy told me that transmission is failed, you can not drive the car. He told me honda has problem regarding transmission, so i called to honda and filed a complain, but they said we can not do anything. You have repair yourself.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. While braking from speeds of 40 mph, the vehicle jolted backward as if she had shifted into reverse. The contact was on a flat road surface when the failure occurred. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated the failure would occur intermittently. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 66,793.
Honda civic hybrid, car was working fine at purchase, once this problem occurred it has been occurring frequently ever since. The malfunction mostly occurs after the car has been parked is the hot sun, once engine is started within 3-10 minutes engine will run rough, the ima system (integrated motor assist) will start charging the ima battery (158 volt nickel metal hydride battery) then suddenly empty the complete charge of the ima battery within 10 seconds. While the ima system is malfunctioning which is usually 5-20 minutes the braking is severely affected; when letting off the accelerator the car does not want to slow down, it feels like the cruise control is on and braking force is greatly reduced. Also, while the ima system is malfunctioning, the ima assist electric motor stops working and the acceleration is severely reduced to the point that it is difficult to accelerate with the traffic, if you had to accelerate in a hurry to avoid an accident, it would not be possible while malfunctioning. This problem occurs several times per week during the warmer months, sometimes several times per day. Also, since this malfunction has started the gas mileage has severely dropped. Car has been in for service several times and i have been told by honda that they cannot find anything wrong with the car. It is my understanding that many civic hybrids are experiencing this problem and honda is not currently addressing this. This malfunction makes this car an unsafe hazard to drive.
Purchased 2007 civic si sedan new in november 2006.shortly afterwards, began noticing difficulty when shifting into 3rd gear. Gear would not engage and would sometimes "pop" out. Usually this occurs when engine is cold, but has also occurred after driving for awhile.notified service technician one month after purchase. Was told that i must be shifting incorrectly and that they could not duplicate the problem. Problem continued and i advised them again in feb. 2008 that 3rd gear was still having resistance/grinding/popping issues. I found that a tsb was issued for the problem in july 2008. I have been back to the dealer numerous times and was never informed of the tsb.
This all happend when i was driving 45 mph at night headlights turn off,dash lights flicker off an oncarpower tran jerking the engine stalls, and prevented the vehicle from being restarted, check engin light came onthe car has been parked in the grarge since this happend 3 years ago it now starts but its throwing codescheck engin lightstill on. After car warms up these same symptoms start to happen codesfor powertrancontrol modulcomputerand ima systemthis all happend suddenly without warnning.
Engine over heated and froze up due to losing coolant through engine block crack.crack caused from defective engine blocks as admitted by honda corp.total loss of power on highway in heavy traffic created a safety hazard to the young teenaged driver.car was bought used on a salvage title and driven a year without incident until this failure occurred.honda will not replace engine still on warranty due to salvage title.
When i am driving my car and it goes into a shift gear it tugs back and forth than it kicks in, in only does it at certain speed than it stops. I want to know if there any recalls on the transmission and if any repairs are being done or have been done. I am afraid that it will just break apart in the middle of the expressway and cause some pileup and my life or others may be in danger.
When i am traveling at speeds above 65mph my entire car vibrates/shutters/shimmy/shakes. It is felt in the steering wheel, and shifter, and the overall ride of the vehicle. It only occurs when i press the gas to accelerate. If i am traveling at 72mph and i release my foot from the gas the vibration does not go away 100%, but it's greatly reduced. At 32,000 my tires were completely bald and worn. I brought my car to honda who would not honor the warranty which expired at 30,000. I then took my car to a repair mechanic who told me the he could not fix the camber which was out of alignment. It was the cause of the excessive tire wear and so i bought new tires and had them mounted, aligned and balanced. Recently after having a 50,000 major service performed on my car by honda the problem came back. Had the right and left inner cv joints replaced and the vibration still persists.
Ignition key may be removed when vehicle is not shifted into "park." unless the parking brake is engaged, this can cause the vehicle to roll from an apparently parked position, creating a risk of damage to property and personal injury.
3rd gear pops out for no reason. Honda will not fix my problem as it is no longer under warranty.i reported the problem when was still under warranty but they could not replictae the problem.now they claim is too late for them to fix it.i did not find out about the service bulleting until recently.after being a loyal customer with more than 2 honda vehicles i will never buy a honda again especially when the us manufacturers are now making reliable and gas efficient cars.
Manual transmission making grinding noise . Its hard to shift in to 2nd and 3rd gear . Its really dangerous when your in traffic and unable to shift gear . Big chances of crash. Transmission making grinding noise and it could get stuckif you google these year civics there are lot of people complaining about this issue
3rd gear failure in transmission. Gear blew out the bottom and top casing of the transmission and destroyed the entire thing. Had to have it completely rebuilt (almost $3000). This was determined to be a mechanical failure. Prior to this, i noticed the 3rd gear was sticking/failing to shift properly and had the transmission checked and flushed. This only appeared to have masked the issue. After driving for about 30 minutes, there was a loud noise and the speedometer jumped to 0. The car wouldn't move, had to be towed (additional $100) and the repair had to be made. For anyone with 3rd gear issues - please have this checked asap and prevent yourself the extreme expense i had! it appears as if, after searching online, several people are having this issue...
Cracked engine block, just shy of extended warranty. Car only has 113k miles. Driving home and smelled coolant, popped hood and saw that the front of the block was seeping coolant, no hoses are nearby to cause leak.
I have owned my 2007 honda civic hybrid for about 21months.i started to have issues with the ima (integrated motor assist, hybrid batteries) last summer (2008) and continue to have issues to date (may 2009).the ima battery that powers the assist motor has been unpredictable and has had degraded performance for the past year causing the car to be underpowered and unsafe to drive on the highway.the ima system routinely fully discharges (especially during the hot summer months in arizona) and leaves the car only to run on the underpowered 1.3 l gas engine. The car is very sluggish, causing safety issues when acceleration is needed in city or interstate driving. My wife drives 3 kids to school (35 miles on way) on a daily basis and is concerned for the kids and her safety on the highway.the batteries also are located under the rear passenger seat.due to the excessive heat the rear passengers (my kids) are always complaining that the seat is warm and that is excessively hot in the back seat since the problem first was observed in last summer 2008, i have taken it to several different honda dealerships. They all state that this is 'normal' operation and unless the service light comes on that nothing is wrong.the service light they are referring to is the p1433 battery degraded code that states to replace the batteries.it seems odd that they wait until the batteries are totally failed and depleted before they will change them.i noticed that honda does have a tsb out covering excessive heat and that it can severely damage the ima batteries.this states that if the temperature is above 150 degrees f that the batteries can be damaged or fail.i know that heat soaking the car for 8-10 hours in the full sun at 110+ degrees (shade temp) can easily heat the ima batteries to very close to 150 degrees.i am highly concerned for the safety of my wife and kids that she drives and others that may be effected.
Purchased vehicle in april 2010 (approximately).i noticed car was shuttering/jerking when accelerating, most notably between 1500 and 1800 rpm from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gears.i brought to the dealer and complained of issue.honda dealer stated that because there was no engine light on and when checked the cars computer did not register any codes there was nothing they could do.they did not test drive the vehicle either.i returned multiple times following this and documented it each time.the vehicle is still running with 80,000 miles on it.i brought it to another dealer recently in md for brake service and told them about the issue and they test drove the car and the technician diagnosed it as a torque converter issue.i am going to take it back to the first dealer i have been complaining to and demand they drive the vehicle.

On january 2nd, 2018 , was driving on a city street to a local aaa approved auto repair care center when the engine of my honda civic became overheated causing fumes/smoke. This could have caused a fire and would thus be a safety hazard. The purpose of taking it to the repair shop was initially just to get a vehicle inspection test/report done for vehicle registration. Due to the engine overheating, further tests were done, and replacing the water pump and performing vps coolant system flush was recommended. I had my vehicle towed to my regular mechanic who inspected it thoroughly and discovereda crack in the engine block. Online i stumbled across several web sites indicating problems associated with engine blocks with some honda civics. I called america honda who said i needed to take my vehicle to a honda garage to confirm the crack in the engine block. This i did and it was reinspected and confirmed by the honda mechanics that there was indeed a crack in the engine block. My vehicle has been sitting at the honda garage for over three months now while america honda decided how much they can help with replacing the engine. They will replace my engine after my deductible of $2500. I have reluctantly accepted this as it's been a long wait and i need my car back on the road. I understand from american honda that their extended warranty for cracked engine block was 10 years from first purchase and only the first owner would have received information on this warranty. However, i believe that a crack in the engine block that leads to an overheated engine potentially causing a fire hazard should be covered under a recall. American honda needs to be held accountable for this defective engine. They gave me a faulty engine that could cause a fire due to overheating and should replace it entirely at their cost. I am thus making a complaint against american honda.
I have a question about the 2007 honda civic, i purchased the car on october 31st, 2011 and i noticed that the front end was making a noise and a vibration when i decelerate. Took the car to the dealership and they put new tires onto the vehicle and the problem still existed. Over a little time until today, the noise and vibration is still there and wont go away. I dont know if its coming from the engine or the drivetrain. I think its something serious but i cant really tell not being a certified mechanic. Is there a recall on something related to the drivetrain/front end or engine problem?
I live in arizona and my car is immaculate. I took my car in to have two service bulletins fixed: 3rd gear pops out/ grinds and knocking noise from front when turning. I thought honda dealer or american honda corp. Would come thru and fix what was inadequately designed/built. The dealer treated me like i was an idiot, and honda corp. Said i should have known and reported the problem under warranty. $1700 for 3rd gear, and they denied there was a knocking noise from front end. I didn't even complain about my rear tires wearing badly because they wont wreck my car, like the transmission and engine mount problems. Do they think i'll trade the car into honda, so i wont have to deal with the problems, and buy a new car from them? i like my sporty civic, but no, i wont give them my money. Very disappointed in what use to be a good car company.

Honda civic hybrid ima no assist or lack of assist and mileage reduction after ima software recall update.i had no issues prior to the ima recall software update performed at the dealer.the car seems to now use less electric motor power to accelerate or to go up hills.this can become dangerous in certain situations.also the car has seen a decrease in fuel economy of 16% city and 24% highway.contacted 2 different honda dealerships and they both said some people have the same issues but honda does not have a solution for them.called honda motor corp. Directly to try to get warranty fix or at least for them to uninstall the ima sw update and they said they cannot do that.they will not replace my battery which is still under the 8 year warranty or resolve my sw update issues.it seems with so many people having an issue someone like the government should step in and force honda to rectify the issues for free rather than having people waste their time going to small claims court or filing a class action suit.
The car goes out of third gear out of nowhere. I have had three close calls on the freeway due to the fact that as your accelerating the gear stops working and leaves the car in neutral when you should be going forward. This causes the car behind you to brake suddenly or you to loose focus of what's in front of you since you tend to look down to see what the problem is anddo not expect you car to be out of gear.
I received a letter from american honda corp. Stating that i needed to get a software update on my 2007 honda civic hybrid ima battery. I took the car to my local dealer and since the update has been installed the car is dangerous to drive when entering the freeway. The failure to accelerate happens everytime i enter the freeway. The consequences of this failure is that cars behind come up on me very fast and i have no power to get in the flow of traffic. It has little acceleration to match traffic flow. It seems the car is mostly operating on the small engine and has little assist from the battery,since the update has been installed.i called american honda they said there was no problem with the update on the performance of the car and they would not do anything regarding myconcerns.i feel this car is an accident waiting to happen. As well ,honda said they will not change the warranty on the battery even though they have changed how the battery operates since they have installed the update. I ask you to consider telling honda to recall this car and make it safe to drive. I want my car to run the way it did before the software was installed. A side complaint is that the good gas mileage i got on a tank of gas as dropped considerably since the update..thank you for your consideration on taking on this complaint..p.s. There has been no accident. I filed this complaint so that there is none in the future. The incident date of august 11,2010 is the date the new software was installed in my car.
"takata recall".the dashboard warning light has been on consistently since 2017 indicating that the passenger airbag is not functioning.the automatic transmission is not functioning properly.when going downhill, the rpm will increase significantly without using the acceleration pedal.both sun visors are broken...each side came apart from the opposite side.the cd player quit working in 2016.the air conditioner quit working in 2016.
I had car crash two weeks ago with honda civic exi 2007, during driving past three years i complained in service center few times last year about car stability in turns and after drive test they came up with nothing, it happened with me few times that after taking sharp turn the care swing and the car go out of control.this time i was taking exit from the bridge and turning down to the main road ,i realize that the turn is sharp and i tried to slow down but the care doesn't response instead the crazy movement happened again and this time i was holding the wheel and make strong brake surprisingly the car accelerate and turn back to hit the side steel rail , i couldn't explain to police and all the people passes by the accident shocked about what happened that it seem up normal car response , i was in conversation with friend has the same car and i shocked after i know he has made accident the same way , not only him but in visiting the show room the dealer had the same accident but with jazz car , i realize that honda has serious problem in stability and iurge all honda drivers to take care and drive safe and try to get rid of this car and i urge all concerned person to act or conduct the complain in order to find solution before we honda kill more life's.
My son was driving and in the middle of a 5 way intersection car would not shift into gear. My car is a manual transmission car made loud rubbing noise. Car was towed to honda dealer. I was told in was a complete transmission failure and need a new transmission and clutch. I contacted honda warranties i bought the car as a certified used honda. It had 100000 mi warranty which i was past. Honda advise it was 3900.00 if fix and agreed to pay 1300. In reading all the complaints about the 2007 year i feel they should have paid more. Since owning the car i have received notices from honda about engine leakage problem and that engine is covered for 10years, also rear control arms, and i just received in mail a class action law suite about premature break ware. At around 70000 i had to replace motor mounts that was covered by my extended warranty. I also had to replace the rear drum brakes at 90000. I have always driven a manual transmission car i have never had to replace a clutch every and keep most cars for over 150000 mi. And drum brakes should never have gone at 90000. I have to say very disappointed with honda and from reading other complaints on your site there is problem with transmissions on this year.

I got a new honda civic ex 2007 sedan and performing all the regular needed maintenance and wheel rotation. After driving 20,000 miles, i felt shaking and vibration of the car with lots of noise coming out of the car. I brought my car to honda dealer; the technician checked and informed me that, the wheel cups are unevenly worn due to the defective wheel control arm and improper wheel alignment. Dealer said he fixed the wheel alignment and replaced the defective wheel control but mentioned that the noise will continue till the wheels wear evenly (approximately 2months).i drove again for four months with that noise and vibrations, i didn't see any change and in fact the noise has been increased. I brought the car again to dealer and technician verified and said, i need to replace all 4 tires in order to get ride of that issue.i filed a compliant to honda customer service claiming that, the wheels has been premature wear of tires due to the defective wheel control arm from the manufacture.they took week time and informed me that, the tires were not covered my honda warranty and they could not help on this. I argued with the manager who handled the case, the life of the tires was reduced to half because of the defective part from the car,..no use..
My clutch went out on a 2007 honda civic si sedan. There was a tsb on the vehicle and i had called my local service department about it previously with them telling me not to worry about the problem. I live in a cold climate and was in traffic when the clutch went out so it was dangerous in numerous ways. The clutch is defective per the tsb and is a hazard to people when they drive and the clutch might go out. The clutch issue has been on the news and in the paper but no dealership is telling people and no letters have been sent to people to let them know!

While going to my drs. Home in tildon park, in berkeley, to get to tildon park, there is a series of3 hills with stop signs at the top of each. After stopping at the second stop sign, when i pressed on the accelerator, the car would not move, after i let the car roll back and i parked on the curb for 5 minutes with the car idling, finally the car finished going up the third hill and i made it to the drs. House, from the drs house i called the honda dealership and informed them of this problem, plus, when igot to the drs house, there was a smell, like a slipping clutch or hot brakes, i also told honda of this, they made me a appointment for the next day. When i arrived at the dealership, i was approached by a serviceman and he asked me,,what was i bringing the car in for?...i told him about the trans not working correctly, i was told..take the car home, we don't know how to fix that yet. When i got home, i called american honda and i was told..take the car back to the dealership, so a hour later the car was back at the dealership. I told the serviceman exactly where i was when this problem happened, he said he was going to have a driver go up those hills and see if the car will duplicate the problem. I left the car at the dealership for two days. Finally i called and was told..they couldn't get the problem to duplicate itself. Whento the dealership, i asked..did you go up to tildon park?..i was told yes. Two days later i had to go up those same hills again..and again>.the car wouldn't move at the second hill., so the dealership lied to me and again i called the dealership and again i was told..they don't know how to fix it. They think...that at low rpm the battery which runs the tranny does not charge.i've received one phone call from someone at american honda asking me for a opinion, and..he got a earful.but to this day, i have not been contacted about this problem, i don't drive it very much anymore..,. I drive my other honda which is 100% dependable.
I purchased this vehicle a few months ago, and recently (within the last few weeks) have noticed the transmission 'slipping' or not engaging properly. If it were a centrifugal clutch (mechanical) it would be described as needing adjustment to let the adjustment 'out' as to better engage the clutch to the power source. Since it is a cvt, i have been told that there is no adjustment available, and replacement is necessary. My incident: i was driving home, which takes me through about 33 miles of a winding hilly road. There was a slow driver, holding up about 6-7 cars, of which i was placed next to last (one behind me.) there is a passing lane that was approaching, and when we reached the passing lane, the slow-poke pulled out to let us pass. The slipping of this transmission was almost a killer-as we (all of the trailing cars) sped up to pass (all within appropriate speeds, clearances, etc). I had just started to accelerate, when this !@#$% slipping began, and i watched as the tach went to almost red-line, but the car didn't gain any speed-it stayed at about 35-36 mph, which was the speed we were going when the passing attempt started.this was allegedly a problem in earlier year models of the same vehicle, but i am not sure if the cause was the same. In any case, this is a very dangerous development, and i want it fixed. My car is under warranty, and i will drive it to a honda dealer in the next day or two, but i do not want any trouble getting this problem corrected. Also, since the first noticed occurrence, i have noticed that this is occurring almost every time i try to accelerate. Sometimes it feels minor, but other times it just tachs up to 4,5,or 6 grand, while not increasing speed at all. I hope no one dies before i can get this to the dealer.....especially my wife, or myself!
2001 honda civic with 65,000 miles has had transmission problems requiring replacement/repair on 3 different occasions; each time with the same problem...the transmission slips before engaging fully in drive, causing the vehicle to leap forward without pressing the accelerator, creating a dangerous condition. My local honda dealer has repaired or replaced the transmission 3 times, stating this is a chronic problem with automatic transmissions on certain models of honda for 2001. The problem has now recurred at 65,000 miles.the manufacturer is fully aware of the defect which repeatedly manifests itself over the life of this vehicle. The dealer was fully aware the problem was present on the car when i bought it. How long will nhtsa allow the manufacturer to ignore a serious defect and let a potentially dangerous condition continue? judging from the number of complaints listed on your website, the problem is found on a significant number of 2001 hondas equipped with an automatic transmission. Since the dealer has not been able to correct the problem, even when replacing the transmission, i believe the manufacturer should recall the vehicle and provide a redesigned transmission to correct the problem. Otherwise these vehicles will become more dangerous as they age.
My 2001 honda civic, died on me in the middle of the freeway. I couldn't accelerate so i had to push it out of the freeway.i towed to a family mechanic, and he said that the transmission had to be rebuilt.it was goin g to cost me $1800 for it.my car only has 78,000 miles, it is ridiculous for this to happened when you take good care of the car, i had just done de 60,000 mile service, and the transmission still died. I have called honda customer service, and they said there is nmothing they can do.i have checked online, and there is a lot of cars that are suffering the same thing, it is definitely a manufacture problem, some type of failure.
2007 honda civic hybrid lost electric motor assist power in may 2010 when i was driving up a hill in downtown seattle traffic.took it to honda dealer, who confirmed low power assist and (without conferring with me) reprogrammed the power assist software and pronounced it fixed.one or two days after this service call, i again noticed weak electric motor assist on another hill in downtown traffic.took the car to honda again, and they confirmed that they could replicate the anemic power condition, but said that honda usa says the vehicle is operating as intended with the computer software update, and that there is no more to be done.i said that i had lost confidence in the automobile, since i consider it a driving hazard not to be able to accelerate adequately in some driving conditions.i said that i wanted honda to buy back the car, but the dealer service manager said that honda wouldn't do that.i have purchased another car, but still own the honda civic hybrid; i don't know what to do with it, since i don't feel good offering it to anyone other than honda for sale.

I bought my 2007 honda civic si on 12/29/07 with approximately 2,200 miles on it.from day one third gear would grind on occasion.on 4/2/08 after having the car 90 days i noticed the clutch slipping.the very next day i left home to go to the honda dealer to have it checked and didn't make it there.my clutch burnt out.honda has torn down the transmission and blamed me for "misuse".honda america has declined any help towards payment.they want $1,400 for a new clutch.i have seen so many people with the same problems as i have had and i think it's about time honda did the right thing for their owners.
I bought a 2007 honda civic si on december 18, 2006.in less than 700 miles the clutch burned out.honda america agreed to pay for the labor to repair it, but wanted me to pay for the parts. ( about $300) they also agreed to pay for a rental car for four dayswhile my car was being repaired.i see no reason why i should have to pay for the parts, since i consider the problem to be a factory defect.the car has a six speed manual transmission.i know how to drive a standard, and i'm convinced that i did nothing to cause this problem.
I own a 2007 honda civic si. I have heard a popping type sound coming from underneath the car or on the drivetrain. I hear it when going into or out of driveways. I have taken it to the dealership and they don't know what is wrong with it. Also i have had problems with third gearin my transmission. It seems like it does not want to grab third gear. I had to have my clutch replaced at 4k miles. I was told it had to have been my "hard shifting". I was told if it happens again, i am responsible for the repairs. I have taken my car several times after this incident to prevent it from happening again, and they say they cant make my car do the same thing that happens when i drive it. I am very frustrated that honda will not step up and take care of the problem. Instead they want to blame it on my "poor driving".

Bought a 2007 honda civic in 2007. Took car in for maintenance at honda dealership and was advised that i needed new tires, after less than a year. I replaced the tires and there was a vibrating noise and rumble,. Took car back to dealership they said that because i got new tires it needed an alignment and the noise would stop. Noise never did stop. Replaced the tires again about 6 months ago or less and was advised that we neeeded struts, wanted a second opinion so we went to the honda dealership and they said that the controls arms were bad and we needed new tires. This was a week ago. We purchased a $1000 extended warranty with the car. We called the warranty people after having no luck with honda of high point, nc. The warranty compnay said that honda told them that they made the parts wrong. This is a manufacturing defect. Even if we are out of our warranty period they should still be liable because they made the part wrong in the begining. Had they advised us of the problem over a year ago, we would not have this problem. I ahve been reading several blogs and we are not the only ones having this problem. Honda refuses to replace the part. This should be a major recall! i guess if the arms break while we are riding down the highway and we crash and die, then honda will do something about it.
I was shifting easily from 1st to 2nd gear at 15-18mph and approximately 3k rpm.my manual transmission failed at that time, and i lost power-- nearly creating an accident.the failure involved broken teeth of the countershaft and final (ring) gear.this type of failure has been documented previously in many internet forums, but perhaps not formally.honda should have information about models experiencing such failure, represented by the number of transmissions / countershaft / final drive gears sold by their parts distributor.as a physician, i feel that honda should recall these vehicles immediately to prevent serious injury & road hazards from this transmission failure-- raymond bernal, m.d.
Both of my rear wheel bearings failed on my 2007 honda civic.
On my 2007 honda civic hybrid the ima battery will suddenly drop from a charge to no charge. When this happens the car loses almost all acceleration power because the gasoline engine is forced to charge the battery up. This has happened to me during acceleration onto major highways during rush hour which is extremely dangerous without acceleration power. I would like honda motor to address this issue instead of issuing software recalls that do nothing to the car.
Popping noise while turning at 5,268 miles.replaced two tires at 19,785 miles.need a front end axle replacementat 31,839.diagnosed and adjusted torqued rear suspension noise at 60,136.replaced rear upper control arms 61,275.replaced shocks, and cv boots at 61,275.struts were making noise due to cupping.struts were replaced at 61,275.two new tires that were recently replaced were replaced again.both tires were feathered and making noise.vehicle is maintained in good condition and is following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendation.car was aligned as required by manufacturer.however, cupping or feathering of the tires still happened.when the rear control arm was not replaced yet, the rear noise was so loud and driving was bad.the tires felt flat and the shock absorber did not seem to be working.it is very hard to deal with both honda america and kolbe dealer.both companies tried to play ignorant of the issues although they knew it all along.i spent $1,419.11 for premature expenses.american honda blamed the premature damages to me.american honda nor kolbe honda did not notify me of the technical bulletins that were issued.also, just because there is a technical bulletin or corrective action does not mean that the problem will go away.design of the rear upper control arm must be reviewed again and tested for geometry with other parts of the vehicle.honda america should tightened its quality control and quality assurance so that its manufacturing facility will not release cars that have defective parts.honda knew very well that the rear upper control arms have design flawed starting with 2002 honda civic.why are they still using this design?is it because they manufactured so much of the wrong parts?the battery, and water pump pulley were replaced, updated 07/16/12
Difficulty shifting to 3rd gear on my 07 civic si. Some grinding occurs when shifting at times, other times it pops out of gear. I took the vehicle to honda dealership but nothing was done since they could not replicate what i described the car was doing. Whether honda dealership can replicate it or not, this is a safety issue particularly while driving in the city were the traffic is heavy most of the time.
2007 honda civic si transmission repeated failure. Third gear malfunction diagnosed and repaired. Shortly thereafter second gear malfunctioned ,fixed, happened again exactly as first malfunction with second gear. Car at dealer twenty-eight days and counting (may 24-june 22,2011).
I have a 2007 civic si with only 12,000 miles on it. Issue: 3rd gear hard to engage. It is an intermittent safety problem. When 3rd gear does not engage i have to go to 2nd or 4th gear, that causes vehicle to slow down during merging. Complaint to dealership twice. First time transmission oil replaced but did not fix this issue. 2nd time dealership told me that they cannot duplicate the issue. Honda needs to recall all these faulty manual transmissions before someone dies.
I have a 2007 honda civic si coupe. This is not my first manual vehicle. I have had trouble shifting into 3rd but did not think anything of it. Just four days ago my car would not shift at all. I had it towed to the honda dealership and was told that my clutch in a year old car was burned out. They claim that it was not a manufacturers defect so in other words, it is my fault. Upon doing research i see that many others are or have experienced the same problem. I have also learned that this past april honda issued a recall on vehicles having 3rd gear problems but have not notified all owners of the makes and models covered in the recall. The 3rd gear problem is directly related to the clutch burning out. I am receiving no satisfaction from the dealership and honda is not owning up to admit that indeed there is a defect.
2007 honda civic si, complaint is regarding the manual transmissions 3rd gear engagement. At times its engagement may vary from being tight to grinding and may even disengage or (pop out of gear). This may lead to a momentary lapse in concentration and at times a somewhat loss of control of the vehicles driveability when this occurs abruptly and unexpectedly. If this event occurs at an inappropriate time when driving, it is my opinion that it may have the potential to lead to accident's causing injury.
I purchased a 2007 honda civic 5spd ex in may of 2007. Ever since i purchased the car i have been having transmission problems with it. At times when i am in first gear and i upshift to second, as soon as i let off of the clutch it will pop outinto neutral and my rpms shoot up. Sometimes it will grind when i try to put it into second or third and doesn't want to fully engage. When it does finally go into gearit's real rough and doesn't accelerate at the speed it should, it acts like it doesn't want to go. I have contacted vandergriff honda where it was purchased, and they said that some of the cars have had that problem and they change the transmission fluid and it's suppose to help, but if it doesn'tthey might have to pull the transmission out and change 2nd and 3rd gear. They changed my fluid and i am still having the same problem. They are telling me now that it should have fixed the problem and i shouldn't be experiencingit anymore. They also say they can't duplicate the problem. Go figure! i need my car fixed that is the sole purpose of my new car purchase so i wouldn't have major problems like this!! my car now has 15k on it and still has the same problems! please find a fix soon!!
The honda civic si manual transmission can be very unsafe to drive especially when driven cold. When shifting into third gear there is feeling that the gear isn't all the way in. When the clutch is released the gear will pop out. This problem is also common in other honda vehicle's such as the rsx. This problem increases the chances of being rear ended and also puts tremendous wear on the transmission as the gear pops and grinds. Honda service tells me that its is my driving that is causing this problem but over a thousand threads has been posted online about this problem. Honda has done nothing to fix this problem except call us poor drivers.
(1)normal driving of manual transmission.(2)everyday while accelerating from a stop 3rd gear misses, doesn't lock into gear, or pops out of gear and grinds.as a result, the vehicle is difficult to drive and backs up traffic due to the slow acceleration.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.when shifting from second to third gear at 50 mph, the gear hesitates and makes a grinding sound.the vehicle feels as if it will stall.the failure only occurs in third gear.the dealer could not duplicate the failure, although other vehicles of the same year, make, and model were experiencing the same failure.the failure mileage was less than 5 and current mileage was 12,000.
I have a 2007 honda civic si. I have approximately 36600 miles on it and i have been having the 3rd gear syncro issue since summer 2008(i bought the car 2/2/08. When i took my car in the other day to have them address the 3rd gear syncro issue after they took the car apart they told me my clutch plate was severely warn down and needed to be replaced and that it was not covered under my extended warranty. I asked them if this was caused from the 3rd synchro and i was told "no" but i have been reading that it is a direct result. I am not happy with honda and they need to include all the gears synchros and the clutch in the tsb.also the tires wear on inside and i was informed that the si was not included in the tsb because it has a different suspension.
3rd gear pops out during normal driving operations. The gear pops out regardless of rpm, speed of travel, or if the gear is actually pushed in all the way.
3rd gear in my 2007 honda civic si is hard to shift into. Sometimes the gear pops out of 3rd. This issue has occurred since i've purchased it out the lot brand new. I've made quite a few complaints to the dealership but none have responded to this issue.
Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission.i patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution.honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably caused by my driving, the problem with the vehicle going into third gear is a known problem and there is a technical service bulletin that honda corporate has released for the exact problem.the headliner rattles, door gasket seal has been coming off since purchase, suspension popping noise in the front passenger side strut since purchase and the sound has become more frequent, the driver side visor was defective and was replaced, the driver door hits the fender when opening just started happening since honda worked on my vehicle.i have been taking my vehicle to two different dealerships (recommended by honda corporate) and nothing has been properly repaired.i feel as though i have been given the run around for the past year.honda has made several attempts to repair the problems and has not been able to, they have only damaged my vehicle during their attempts to repair it.they have damaged the front bumper three times, the side of the vehicle once, the door and fender once.they of course denied any involvement in the damage, then repair it under warranty.
I own a standard transmission 2007 civic si. I was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, i put the transmission into 1st gear and started moving. I then tried to shift from 1st gear into 2nd at approximately 3500 rpm. I had the clutch pedal fully depressed butcould not put the transmission into 2nd gear. I put the transmission back into neutral and tried again to shift into 2nd gear. Second gear finally engaged but was accompanied with a loud grinding noise. This situation was dangerous because i was in the middle of the intersection with no power. I was focused on trying to figure what was wrong with the car and could not focus on the road. Nothing has been done yet to remedy this situation. I am taking my car to my dealership to see what is wrong.
Many times, especially when the weather is colder, the manual transmission will pop out of third gear/grind/or will not even engage in third.this is dangerous, especially in heavy traffic or when turning a corner because it causes a quick deceleration and the person behind you can't anticipate that you are going to slow down suddenly because there is no braking involved.not to mention, after this occurs, the engine revs due to the missed gear, and you have to quickly shift into second or fourth gear to get going once again.this is a high rate problem and can be proven with a simple www search- it is all over the internet car forums and even has been reported by edmunds.com.some people say their dealer is replacing the trans fluid as a fix and it helps, others are doing it at their own expense because their dealer refuses to assist.my dealer won't admit to the issue.
My transmission shoves the shifter out of gear after shifting into 3rd. My transmission also grinds excessively going into second at high rpm's causing bucking. I have spoken to the dealer about this and they seem to believe that there is no problem. I have had it pop out of 3rd traveling up hill, this causing my car to slow withoutbrake lights in traffic (because i am not applying brakes), while i try to get it into third.
2007 civic si is difficult to shift into 3rd gear and grinds.two attempts have been made to repair the problem by dealer, but the problem came back about 6 months after each repair.problem started at around 8k miles, was repairedthen it recurred at around 15k miles.the odometer is now at 23k miles and the problem has resurfaced.the first repair attempt replaced the 3rd gear syncro.the 2nd repair replace the 3rd & 4th gear syncro and shift fork.i recommend honda issue a recall for the 6sp manual transmission on the civic si due to numerous consumer complaints.
The manual transmission shifts badly, and there have been occasions when it won't go into gear.also, when cold, and in lower gears, it is very hesitant and choppy.i believe it's the throttle.there have been a few occasions when i've stepped on the brake and it's tried to move forward.honda says there is nothing wrong with this car.they treat me as if i don't know how to drive.
I own a 2007 honda civic si. I have heard a popping type sound coming from underneath the car or on the drivetrain. I hear it when going into or out of driveways. I have taken it to the dealership and they don't know what is wrong with it. Also i have had problems with third gearin my transmission. It seems like it does not want to grab third gear. I had to have my clutch replaced at 4k miles. I was told it had to have been my "hard shifting". I was told if it happens again, i am responsible for the repairs. I have taken my car several times after this incident to prevent it from happening again, and they say they cant make my car do the same thing that happens when i drive it. I am very frustrated that honda will not step up and take care of the problem. Instead they want to blame it on my "poor driving".
Problem with 3rd gear popping out or not going in happens in all conditions.
With less than 6,500 miles, the civic si continues to grind on 3rd gear on a day to day basis. Today february 17th 2008, while shifting at higher rpm's, 2nd gear refuses to engage which caused the gear to grind atrociously. Several complaints have been filed and owners are have yet to be contacted with information regarding this. This transmission problem causes the car to slow down excessively while shifting problem is occurring and is a safety hazard for myself and driver behind me.
Excessive problems with transmission. Particularly third gear, when attempting to put shift lever into third gear synchronizers grind and on occasion shift lever pops from gear into neutral.
2007 honda civic si (5,000 miles on car).the six speed manual transmission has a problem when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. It sometimes will not go into gear or will pop out of 3rd. This creates a very serious safety issue as you may not be able to avoid an oncoming car. The honda dealership keeps saying that they are not aware of the problem. Look on the internet and you will have hundreds of complaints of the very same thing on this model car.
When accelerating, shifting into third gear is never reliable. When you shift from 2nd gear to 3rd, it grinds and then pops out. This leads me to over rev the engine. Currently, there is no service bulletin for this problem nor is their a recall.
07 civic si shifting into 3rd gear sometimes doesn't happen causing loss of power at bad times as entering intersection or highway makes grinding sound as in missed shift pops out of gear wont let you shift into gear will be going to dealer to have checked out.
07 honda civic si sedan--3rd gear shifts uneasy. Sometimes there is resistance when shifting to 3rd gear and sometimes it does not engage at all.
3rd gear pops out and grinds. Happens more when its cold but still grinds on nice days. Even after changing the transmission fluid.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.when the vehicle is started in the mornings, the engine becomes sluggish during the first two miles of driving.the engine does not stall, but has little acceleration power while driving 5 mph.after the engine has warmed, the vehicle operates normally.the vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealer 3 times.the current mileage was 8,500 and failure mileage was 3,113. Updated 5/5/08 the consumer stated he was not able to accelerate to keep up with the traffic. Updated 05/05/08.
My transmission is giving problems when driving my 2007 honda civic si. To be more specific my 3rd gear pops out when it's engaged and it seems dangerous and honda of america has not put out a recall for this.
I own a 2007 honda civic si (manual transmission) and 1 out of every 5 times i shift into 3rd gear it grinds and does not engage properly.in 4000 miles it has also fallen out of gear twice under normal driving conditions.when this happens the car will suddenly slow and i will be distracted while driving as it is quite unexpected on a car with 10,000 miles.i have brought the car to honda and they said this was due to excessive clutch wear caused by "driving the car too hard".i drive about 50 miles a week in dc metro area traffic so this is hardly the case.most owners of the same car and transmission are reporting the same problem and honda has not done anything to remedy it.it is widely covered on most 2006+ honda civic web forums and recently has received some news coverage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ek_-3tfd2e.
Transmission for 2007 honda civic si seem to not want to engage 3rd gear especially when cold.multiple occasions.seem to have something blocking the shifter and it will grind the gear or pop out. Popping noise from front driver side suspension also have been experience on the vehicle.
Transmission: shifter sometimes catches (10-15% of attempts) when shifting into 3rd gear.the problem is worse when the weather is cold.the dealer was advised and acknowledged problem but no solution is currently available.
Since day of purchase noticed third gear popping. Thought being new car could not be a problem. It is now 6 months later. Called service at honda dealership. Questioned warranty and explained issues with car, such as clutch slipping, seems sync rolls are going. Dealership claims it is driver. Called america honda corp. They admit transmission fix will be coming out in 2008, but only certain vin#'s are covered. I am not understanding this since it has been a problem even in other year and makes with same issues! these same complaints are all over internet!cost has been estimated at $1200! even with extended warranty coverage purchased.
Third gear intermittently does not engage or is very difficult to engage.is especially bad when it is cold out.
Manual transmission will not go into third gear.grinding noise when clutch is released.
Third gear on my '07 honda civic si coupe is both frequently impossible to engage (every third or fourth shift change) and pops out of gear during driving (typically 2-3 times an hour during continuous driving).this poses potential dangers while driving as there is failure in the application of power to the driven wheels, which is essential for controlling the vehicle.the issue is known to be common in the 6 speed si transmission.honda denies the issue, stating that the engagement problem is caused by not fully depressing the clutch.i always fully depress the clutch when shifting, have driven manually transmission vehicles for 41 years, and have never had this problem with any vehicle, let alone a gearshift which pops out of gear during normal driving).the failure to engage is probably more an annoyance than an issue, however the popping out of gear while driving is a serious road hazard and risk; for example, if one is cornering on snow covered or wet pavement, the sudden loss of power to the driven wheels could cause the vehicle to veer off course and result in a crash.the unfortunate driver who does not immediately recognize the loss of power transmission, or what to do to recover, is certainly placed in a highly compromised position, to say the least, and at worst may find him or herself in a vehicle which is totally out of control.nothing has been done by honda to either acknowledge or correct the issue.this is an accident waiting to happen.the issue has existed since the vehicle was new, an has become progressively worse with time.
All 2006-2008 honda civic si (coupe & sedan) models that have experienced any issues related to the 6mt, including, but not limited to,(a) notchy shifting(b) resistance going into any gear (particularly 2nd & 3rd)(c) grinding of any type, in any gear not caused by operator error(d) transmission not engaging into any gear (particularly 2nd & 3rd)(e) transmission kicking out/popping out into neutral from 3rd gear(f) a third gear with an imprecise gate that sometimes allows for the shifter to be unsure whether to engage in 3rd or return to neutral.(g) had your transmission/syncros replaced and are experiencing transmission woes again with the same (or other) gears.
The car was fine for first few hundred miles.transmission began to shift will excessive force needed.dealership was advised to change fluid, which seemed to work for very few miles.very difficult to shift into second and third gear.third gear will actually "pop out" at various times.this has caused me to make dangerous maneuvers in and out of traffic.dealership cannot "replicate" problem is the usual excuse.
I have a 2007 honda civic si, since day one i had problems going into 2nd and 3rd gear's. I went to the honda dealer more then once and they told me there is no problem.... Now at almost 48k miles, somethin broke in my transmission while i was driving in the middle of the road and i almost got hit by around 10 cars.... I read post all over the internet but still honda will do nothin about the problem. I even went to the dealer before my warranty was up and still the same thing nothing is wrong.... Now i have to look tog et ym transmission rebuilt or look for a new transmission depends if it can be rebuilt...
I was shifting easily from 1st to 2nd gear at 15-18mph and approximately 3k rpm.my manual transmission failed at that time, and i lost power-- nearly creating an accident.the failure involved broken teeth of the countershaft and final (ring) gear.this type of failure has been documented previously in many internet forums, but perhaps not formally.honda should have information about models experiencing such failure, represented by the number of transmissions / countershaft / final drive gears sold by their parts distributor.as a physician, i feel that honda should recall these vehicles immediately to prevent serious injury & road hazards from this transmission failure-- raymond bernal, m.d.
Third gear notchy and sometimes hard to engage and/or grinds, this is a safety hazard and should be addressed. Honda has issued a tsb, but i have taken the car to two different dealers neither could replicate the problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the contact stated the third gear would fail when the vehicle was cold. In addition, the failure occurred intermittently.the dealer was able to duplicate the failure. They felt the transmission could have caused the failure.the failure mileage was 4,000 and current mileage was 12,674.updated 4/25/08 the consumer stated theird gear will grind and pop in while driving.
Third gear of this car frequently pops out of gear and grinds getting into that gear.
This problem relates to the 06-08 civic si's, i have an si)s2000's, rsx's accords and any cars with a honda 6 speed transmissions. This is in regards to grinding and popping out of gears, along with a general "notchy" feel. This primarily happens when the vehicle is cold, however it still does happen when the vehicle is completely warmed up.
Honda civic si 2007, problem with the manual transmission, in differential gear and other part in the internal transmission.
Purchased car new, complained about transmission grinding in 2nd and 3rd gear at appx 2k miles, at 5k they tore it down, problem continued, tore down again at10k, then continued.3rd repair at 12k i was charged 1700. To fix, they claimed misuse, 4th repair at 15k costs me 2200, again misuse, and problem seems fixed, but only at 16k.honda service bulletin 08-020 released 4/12/2008 addresses this exact problem and states is covered under warranty.i am perusing lemon law procedures currently, but am concerned about safety issue of transmissions blowing and creating a road hazard, oil on road, etc.there is still a huge oil slick on the street when it last broke.
I bought my 2007 honda civic si on 12/29/07 with approximately 2,200 miles on it.from day one third gear would grind on occasion.on 4/2/08 after having the car 90 days i noticed the clutch slipping.the very next day i left home to go to the honda dealer to have it checked and didn't make it there.my clutch burnt out.honda has torn down the transmission and blamed me for "misuse".honda america has declined any help towards payment.they want $1,400 for a new clutch.i have seen so many people with the same problems as i have had and i think it's about time honda did the right thing for their owners.

The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the rear driver seat belt webbing was not stitched or bolted to the seat. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was repaired but the specifics of the repairs were not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. Updated 03/17/15*lj updated 6/19/2015
The seat belt forcefully locked up while i was driving. Very scary. I could not loosen it. I pulled over and after a few minutes my brother in the passenger seat was able to help me unbuckle it. There was no crash. It just locked up without warning while i was driving. I didn't hit a pothole or a curb. Seems like a safety issue that honda might have tried to take care of but they won't cover the costs of repair since it is out of warranty.
Seat belt light for the passenger side. Not all the time. It's intermittent it does not happen ever time. I had the air bag changed..after that this problem started. Dealer said they will not cover it under warranty.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the vehicle seat belt would not disengage. The contact mentioned that he had to continue to press the release button and move it around in order to disengage it. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 135,000.
Driver's side seatbelt frayed. Taken to dealer for repair and was told that seatbelt being caught in the door caused the damage to the seatbelt. The seatbelt does not retract fully, so this may be causing the belt to be closed in the door. The seatbelt material should be strong and durable and should not be damaged by a door.this is a tremendous safety concern and should be addressed.an order for the replacement parts was not completed by the dealership, so of course, parts were not available at scheduled appointment for repair. The vehicle was forced to leave the dealership, with a faulty safety component of the car (seatbelt) and no guarantee of driver safety and proper function of the seatbelt if involved in a crash. Cost is not an issue, since the safety of family comes first and owner im willing to be responsible for charges since this was not covered by a warranty. Scheduled with another dealership for repair.
The srs light sensor on 2007 civic lx stays on when driving.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.while driving 60 mph and attempting to apply the brakes, the contact felt the brakes lock.the steering wheel was forced out of his hands.the contact struck a curb and drove into the living room of someone's residence.the air bags failed to deploy and the seat belts failed.the contact called the honda manufacturer and they dispatched an adjuster and an engineer, who both stated that nothing could be done.the failure and current mileages were 19,500.
The dealer replaced my passenger seat. After that my srs warning light went off. It's been cycling on and off for years now. I was too frustrated at how i was treated at the dealership to go back at the time. Now i went in because i need to pass inspection and they tell me my whole srs system has had an internal error.
While i was driving the seat belt deployed and locked up on me and i wasn't in a crash. I had already had it replaced (paid about $700) and it locked up (deployed) again without a crash. Honda refuses to cover it. One honda dealer had me drive to another (without a working seat belt) and neither dealer will cover it and honda corporate said it will not be covered.
Driver side safety pretensor malfunctioned. This issue caused the airbag to not work if in an accident. Honda should replace any safety issues with any vehicles. I had to get it replaced by a honda dealership costing 430.00.
The srs light on my honda was on for the past month. This is a known issue that is affecting lots of honda civics of 2006 and 2007 that honda refuses to acknowledge. The wiring harness has to be replaced and the passenger side weight sensor, which is close to a $2000 repair. When i asked honda corporate (customer service [xxx] at 800-999-1009) i was arrogantly told they do not care because the car is outside of warranty. It is disgraceful that honda markets safety in their vehicles, but does not stand behind their srs system failing prematurely. This is not a wear and team item and no one sits in my car besides me. There should be a safety recall on this since airbags will not deploy whether or not we wear seat belts.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I hit a pothole and the airbag was deployed.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.while driving 20 mph, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle which was a large suv, who stopped suddenly without any brake lights the consumer slammed on her brakes.she was wearing her seat belt at the time of the failure, but it did not restrain her properly.the contact's body slammed into the steering wheel and the dashboard.the entire seat belt tore away from the door and the floor.she injured herself very badly and was transported to the hospital.there was no damage to the bumper of the other vehicle and minor damage to the contact's bumper.she called honda of america and they stated that the seat belt worked properly.the crash caused the seat belt to loosen.the contact was informed that no one would come out to inspect the vehicle because they already had pictures and saw the damage.the failure mileage was 3,042.updated 3/13/09 honda refused to inspect the vehicle and stated the seat belt worked properly. There was no police as the other vehicle left the scene and gave the consumer false information.updated 03/17/09.
Inadvertently bumped into curbing while making a turn.side wall of left front tire pierced, and plastic bumper moved.bumper easily snapped back into place, tire replaced, and alignment checked.no damage except that seat belt failed in fully extended position after actuation with sudden stopping.honda refused to honor warranty despite vehicle with less than 10,000 miles and two months old.car is 2007 honda civic hybrid.in small claims court honda argued successfully that the seat belt system functioned per design; that a "pre-tensioning system" is part of the design and is intended to prevent premature activation of air bag.i contend that any system that is designed to malfunction to prevent actuation of another system defies good design practice.i am a small person (135 lbs.) and the abrupt stop occurred at low speed.the impulse of the stop should not have been sufficient to cause failure of the system.
Driver's seat mount is broken.when raising or lowering the seat (manual lever), only the left side of the seat moves.when raised, left side of seat is higher than right side. Also seat does not feel entirely stable.(date is approximate, as no mva or other incident caused this.)
The design of the head restraints forces the head and neck into an abnormal, uncomfortable position. This has caused pain and injury to my neck as a result of driving in this position. I want honda to provide replacement head restraints with an alternate design which will alleviate the bodily stress caused by this awkward position. This is an ongoing problem since i purchased the car in 2007. Hundreds of others have complained about this dangerous safety issue.
Weight sensor 83-22 needs to be replaced after i had the takata airbag issue resolved, immediately after leaving honda, the airbag light came on!! upon my immediate return, i was told it should be covered since it is internal in the seat, and should be covered just like airbag/seatbelts.i can not have anyone sit in that seat until it is repaired and now i have been told that i will have to pay for it....approximately $600

I finally realized this pain is due to the forward tilt of the headrest which pushes my head forward and down whenever i am seated in the car. I have developed serious neck problems requiring treatment, physical therapy, and possible surgery in the future. This headrest design causes problems for passengers too. These headrests cannot be adjusted to a comfortable position. Hundreds of drivers are complaining online and in other ways of similar problems with headrests on honda and other makes of cars manufactured to us "safety" regulations. These headrests have caused additional safety concerns as drivers must try to adapt seat and/or headrest positions in order to experience some relief from the pain caused by abnormal body posture. I cannot afford a new car. It is the responsibility of the nhtsa to develop and provide a solution for the problems they have created with this design regulation or to allow the car makers to do so.
Brand new 2007 with tilted head restraints which causedhead, neck, back pain. Called dealership, andthey stated nothing they could do. I called honda corporation and awaiting call back. They did said had not hadany problems,and in no way am i to modify head rest for any reason... Funny ,there were multi websites regarding civic head rest problems. What am i to do??a constant headache.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic ex.the contact stated that the head rest caused him to lean his head forward and place his neck in a bent position.this affects people who are 5'1 to 5'5.the dealer advised him to remove, bend, turn the headrest around, or purchase a headrest for his year, make and model vehicle.the current and failure mileage were 76. The engine size is unknown.
I was driving and all of a sudden my vsa abs and emergency brake lights came on??? i pulled over and shut down my car then it disappeared please help me with this issue i notice there was a recall for 06 civics about wheel speed sensor... This is probably due to this? i heard alot from forums that this can cause this? please help us all with this issue and fix this...thanks
Around 2009, january 2016 and september 2018 when driving very slowly (two of these times in a parking garage and one time when turning a tight corner with pedestrians present), i believe i suddenly braked but my car sped up. The latest occurrence resulted in property damage.i am unaware of a recall related to unintended acceleration for my car.could this be a mechanical or design problem?
I keep changing brakes and rotors.i have done this 2-3 times so far.the steering keeps shaking violently when you apply brakes.if you don't change the rotors, this problem will get worse, so i am forced to keep changing the rotors every other year.over the years, i have had many honda cars.i don't believe this is a normal wear and tear condition.i believe there's a fundamental safety problem with the brakes or the rotors.not sure what is wrong, but i believe there's a safety issue with honda civic 2007rotors and brake systemthat someone needs to look into it.please look into this.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at unknown speeds, the contact heard an abnormal clicking sound when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that transmission fluid was leaking and the engine block was cracked. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and stated that the warranty had been extended; however, the contact missed the deadline. The contact was advised to replace the engine or purchase a new vehicle. The failure mileage was 163,000.
I have had my vehicle for 2 years now. In that time i have put only 20000 miles on the vehicle. I have had to replace my tires twice already on the vehicle due to uneven wear on the tires. The camber of the tires is affected by the rear control arms. This also caused the rear suspension to wear, which i have already had to replace on the vehicle. When breaking my steering wheel shakes affecting my steering. This is caused by the uneven inner tire wear on this vehicle. I am concerned for the safety on this vehicle and i believe other similar vehicles might have the same issue. It is also become a quite expensive problem for me to have to deal with on this vehicle. To whom it may concern,thank you!
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the front brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repairedbut the failure persisted. The contact mentioned that the brakes were replaced once a year on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
I just had to replace the tires for the second time on this car. The car is expiring uneven tire wear. This does effect braking of the car as well. Honda has admitted that the rear control arm is to short effecting suspension and tire wear. This is dangerous because the visible part of my tire looked fine, plenty of tread and about 38000 on a 90000 mile tire. The inside of the tire was so worn it actually had a hole worn in it. This wear issue could cause a tire to fail while traveling at a high rate of speed. Please help the owners of these vehicles get a recall from honda before someone is hurt.
Takata recall:i see srs warning in my car for few days and the alarm disappears after few days. This is happening again and again. After i get my car diagnosed with honda dealer, my car got airbag problem but not covered under recall. I had to change the disk brakes of this car more frequently. They do not last even for 15000 miles.
1. I see airbags warning in my car but it is not in the recall list.2. Driver side sunvisor is not working.3. In initial years, had to change the brakes so many times (almost every year) - no receipts are saved.
Uneven tire wear. Honda won't replace the bad control arms because i put on snow tires and they said that voids any warranty i would have, i've gone through several sets of tires now. Steering wheel shakes badly anytime i go over 50 mph. Brakes have issues. The car is unsafe and honda won't do anything about it.
The brake and abs light is on and i'm afraid to drive the vehicle because i feel very unsafe and unstable it's very dangerous for me and the other people please help me fix this matter thank you.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact statedwhile inspecting the vehicle, he noticed that the high mount brake light failed to work.

My rear lower control arms need to be be replaced with the correct ones stamped "c".honda dealersin southern california are refusing to correct the mistake at no cost to me. Please help!
Faulty a/c compressor locks up the drive belt causing the crankshaft pulley to stop rotating which results in the engine and all accessories (power steering, power brakes, etc.) to turn off randomly in the middle of driving. This happens after the engine is turned-on and has occurred consistently when the vehicle is driven for a few minutes and when it is at idle for a few minutes. No warnings or engine fault codes found on ecu, this mechanical failure will cause vehicle to turn off in the middle of driving, the steering wheel to lock-up, the power brakes to no longer function correctly and puts the driver and everyone around at a serious risk of injury and death.
Brake pedal on 2007 honda civic hybrid pushes up while stepping on break, and car is stopped, making the car lurch forward.
I was approaching an intersection atapprox. 45 mph in my 2007 honda civic.seeing that the traffic signal had just turned red i applied the brakes. At that instant i heard a "pop" and found that the brake pedal was almost to the floor and the brake light warning light was displayed on my dashboard. Fortunately i made it through the intersection without striking anyone. I "nursed" the car to the dealershipand was told that i had a blown brake line. A new line was installed , at a cost of $280.00. I was told that "you must have hit something which shot up and struck the line". I told the service manager that, just as i stated above, "i stepped on the brake and heard a pop! i definitely did not strike anything! i then requested the replaced brake line which i now have in my possession.
I was in a car accident on july 11, 2008 and rear ended the back of someone's care while i was going 35 miles an hour. My brakes locked up and my airbags did not deploy. I was treated at the emergency room for a chest contusion and a sprained neck. My car is in the shop awaiting a diagnostic test to see why my brakes and airbags did not work and it is also getting a repair.
The driver side visor fell on my lap and honda replaced it because it was still on warranty.. But now the passenger visor is hanging down but honda wont replace because its out of warranty. The front brakes does wear out around 12k miles after replacing it with the dealer for the 3rd time (honda dont want to admit that they use poor quality pads so you'll keep coming back to them for replacement, they say its the way you drive but i did point out to them that if i drive like a maniac i would have also need to replace my tires which lasted me more than 50k miles) i decided go get an aftermarket ceramic pads and had it installed from pepboys. Its been more than 30k miles and brakes are still fine. The wiper blade on driver side does become sticky on the windshield which leaves unpleasant streak on my windshield.. Even after getting a new wiper it still have the same problem.. I solve this problem by replacing my driver wiper with a shorter one(original is 26" now i have 24").

2007 honda civic hybrid has issues with the brakes and power.*njthe consumer stated the brakes were not braking properly.the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer to have the brakes inspected, but after inspecting the brakes and road testing, they stated the vehicle was performing normal.the consumer continued to have braking issues, and after almost having a collision due to decreased braking ability, she again contacted the dealer. They tested the brakes again, and found no problem. The brakescontinued to fail about once a week. The dealer evaluated the vehicle. The dealer stated a report from honda stated the ima will stop charging and stop with assisted braking if temperatures are too high and that it is normal for the customer to feel a difference in braking without regeneration. Honda advised that the consumer drive with the windows down and when she parked the vehicle to leave them down as well to help cool off the hybrid batteries which were located behind the seat.the dealer contacted the consumer because they wanted to perform a computer upgrade on her vehicle. The report also stated updated ima control unit and battery software. The consumer drove for several weeks and noted some improvement with the braking issue, but now the ima batteries will not stay charged, and if the battery level goes below 4 bars, which is 1/2 of full bars or a completely charged battery, the vehicle's power is greatly decreased to the point of having to travel at speeds of 15-20 mph for 15 seconds after being stopped at a red light.
I am not sure if this is where i should put this information, but i have a 2007 honda civic with 31,000 miles that the dealership states needs new front brakes.they told me right up front that this was common in the civic and if it was an accord, it would be rear brakes.i have driven cars for over 45 years, and have never had a car that requires a brake replacement at this low milage. I bought this car because the consumer ratings for reliability and dependability were the highest i could find.they did not mention this issue with the brakes.i am not sure who to contact, but other consumers would surely liike to be aware this is a problem with this model of honda.
Rapid tire wear occurred on the inner portions of both rear tires. The problem was discovered after noticing much road noise and having the tires rotated. Two new tires were purchased and the rear upper control arms were replaced. The problem still exists to this day after consulting two different honda garages they both confirmed that the rear control arms were installed correctly and are within spec. Both garages recommended replacing the tires again, but this is becoming very costly. The ride of the car over the last year has gotten significantly worse and now i'm noticing braking problems. The car hops in the back when applying the brakes at highway speeds. Honda is denying the problem and has offered no compensation.
At less than 30,000 miles on my 2007 honda civic, the brakes totally failed and fell off the vehicle.the fact that i needed brake work was first brought to my attention by the dealer when they did some recall work on the car for another issue.while i was researching why this may be happening and trying to get some answers from the manufacturer the brakes failed causing major repair bills, tire damage and paint damage to the car. Honda has refused to open and investigation or entertain a complaint in the matter.the dealer will not honor repairs under my extended warranty and i missed payments and risked repossession due to the cost/damages.had this occurred on the highway it could have caused serious safety issues for myself and others.although honda denies it, there are other cases of faulty brakes on civic and accord models from 2006 to present.
My 2007 honda civic suffers from the same braking problem they are saying is an issue with the prius with foot on the brake as in slowing for stop sign or slower vehicle , if you hit a bump the car speeds us just as if you took your foot of the brake.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While reversing out of aparking space at speeds of 2 mph, the contact noticed an unusual squeaking coming from the brakes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the front and rear brakes and the upper control arm were replaced. There were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 75,000.
Car model: honda civic hybrid 2007 the car has a slipping brake. When pulling up to a stop light or sign the brake can and frequently does suddenly let go. When less than full force is applied to the brake pedal the brake engages normally. However, when the car nears a full stop the brake suddenly lets go. This can be compensated for by applying additional brake force, but the sudden loss of braking can be startling and disorienting. The defect happens almost consistently under the conditions described above, namely less than full braking force. I personally became accustomed to the quirk. However, my wife has claimed that the defect nearly caused her to rear end another car and has since refused to drive the vehicle.

Please note the date is an estimate---the occurrences have been multiple.vehicle: honda year: 2007 model: civic: lxupon braking of a bumpy road, there is a grinding noise at the front tires and the vehicles stops, but then slides forward.this also happens when decelerating downhill on wet surface and on roads being repaired where there is uneven pavement. The vehicle has been taken to dealer and was informed, "there is no problem."no repairs were made.this problem has been ongoing since the vehicle had less that 10k miles.vehicle still only has ~36k miles.safety concern: at highway speeds, vehicle will not stop as expected and since the problem is intermittent, may not be recognized by the driver(s).
My 2007 honda civic began having a loud sound coming from the drivers rear wheel. Upon looking on the internet i found a safety recall notice from honda - service bulletin # 07-055 for rear abs wheel speed sensor and o-ring inspection. It stated that some sensors were not installed properly and water may enter the hub assembly damaging the wheel bearings. In areas where road salt is used, the wheel bearings may corrode, which may result in the wheel falling off. I live in an area where road salt is used. My vehicle vin number was listed within the range of potentially effected vehicles on the recall, but i never received a recall notice. I contacted honda customer service, explained that my car has the wheel bearing issue as stated in the recall. They stated that my vehicle was not effected and only certain vehicles in the notice were effected, not all vins listed. They stated my vehicle would not be covered under the recall even if my vehicle has the defect. I took my vehicle to a service repair center which confirmed that my rear wheel bearing was bad and corroded. The car is only 3 years old and this should not have occurred. I had the exact problem as stated in the recall and feel that honda should expand the recall to include all the vehicles they have listed in the recall notice. It's obvious more vehicles are effected than they thought. If they list a range of vin numbers than they should check all on the list, not just pick and choose which ones they think might have the problem.

I have had 2 rear end car accidents with my 2007 honda civic.in both instances the brakes have failed causing over $10,000.00 in damage.i paid the first accident with my own funds to avoid my insurance from raising.the second one was paid by my insurance as the damage was more extensive.i have taken the vehicle to 3 different dealers to see what is wrong with the brakes as they continue to fail, but they cannot determine what the problem is unless they can recreate it.one dealership put on new break pads, a new abs motor/switch, and drained the brake fluid.i am sure the old parts were either destroyed or sent back to honda, but i do not think they are available.the problem still occurs when it is very cold and driving through puddles of water.the last occurence i had to drive into a curb to slow the car down as the brakes failed to engage.i have since learned to pull the emergency brake.the insurance company has tried to get honda to recognize the issue, but they were not successful.honda continues to insist i am at fault even though there has been a recall for brakes.when i use the brakes during the cold weather with extreme moisture, they grind like a drill in cement or metal.the noise comes from the front right wheel.it is not the abs brakes making as the noise is more fluteringthat occurs across the whole front-end and the car stops when you slam on the brakes. The last dealer service technician took me on a test drive during snowy weather, but it did not occur.again, he told me unless they can recreate it there is nothing they can do to fix it.i've noted the approximate incident date was in january, but 2nd accident occured in february of 2008.i guess i must get killed before any dealership or honda takes me seriously as i do not know what to do any more. They seem to discount the seriousness because they cannot see any leakage when the examine the brakes so consequently it is my fault. Thank you for your attention. Help!!
Front brake pads require replacement every 5k miles or so since the car was new. Honda replaced them the first time but has since told me that i brake too hard and that there is nothing wrong with their design. I am 50 years old and have been driving for years...never had a problem like this.

I live in arizona and my car is immaculate. I took my car in to have two service bulletins fixed: 3rd gear pops out/ grinds and knocking noise from front when turning. I thought honda dealer or american honda corp. Would come thru and fix what was inadequately designed/built. The dealer treated me like i was an idiot, and honda corp. Said i should have known and reported the problem under warranty. $1700 for 3rd gear, and they denied there was a knocking noise from front end. I didn't even complain about my rear tires wearing badly because they wont wreck my car, like the transmission and engine mount problems. Do they think i'll trade the car into honda, so i wont have to deal with the problems, and buy a new car from them? i like my sporty civic, but no, i wont give them my money. Very disappointed in what use to be a good car company.
2007 honda civic with several problems. Consumer states that the fuses had no protective cover under the driver side dash. Steering was not aligned and the air conditioner was blowing hot air. And odometer is not registering properly.
Since i got my car with 62,000 miles every time i take it to get oil changes every 3 months the tell me the control arms are bad and causing uneven wear on the tire tread...i get new tires and it only last so long before the car starts to shake because of the uneven wear not even going at a high speed... It makes it harder to stop due to the shaking which scares me when i have to stop suddenly due to other drivers or something in the road..

Car is very unstable when subjected to crosswinds.steering corrections have to be constantly made to keep the car on course. This is extremely dangerous as overcorrections can happen.i notice other similar size cars i'm following on the highway in the same conditions are not nearly affected as i am.i purchased the car used with 60k miles back in 10/2010 and it has always been a problem.i had the rear upper suspension arms replaced (at my expense) with an aftermarket brand to correct the caster problemback into specification and the tires have been replaced but this has not made any difference in the way the car handles in side wind conditions.

Purchased 2007 honda civic ex on 3/10/07. On 8/7/07 took car in for routine maint. Oil pan drain plug replaced. On 8/9/07 steering system made noise when turning. Took to dealer, no problem found. On 10/8/07 took car back to dealer with same issue. Dealer said "during assembly some rear wheel speed sensors may have been improperly installed and do not seal the hub assembly. Sensors were inspected and they deemed no repair necessary. On 12/26/07 took car to dealer for same noise when turning wheel. Steering wheel locked up when driving!! when accelerating, car made a whining type of noise. Dealer kept my car over night and found p/s pump whining due to no fluid in system. P/s rack was leaking. Power steering reservoir was empty. Found power steering rack leaking from both ends. Replaced power steering rack and realigned wheels. On 7/7/08 took car to dealer,steering wheel locked up again while driving. Still have noise when turning the steering wheel back and forth. Dealer kept my car for 3 days without giving a loner to me. When dealer did diagnostic, they pulled up 7 codes and stated "gauge control lost communication, may be old codes related to past repairs. Did not find a cause for steering to lock. Found that the noise when turning the wheel was caused from the seal at the firewall was rubbing on steering shaft. Corrected insulation and found when at idle and turning wheel, hood vibrated and made a noise. They adjusted rubber stoppers and rechecked saying it is all ok. Now, today on 7/17/08 i had steering wheel lock up on me for a brief second. Took my car to a mechanic i know and they told me to fill out this form. They said the noise i hear in my steering column should have been fixed by dealer. I called dealer at 3 pm today and will be taking my car back to dealer tomorrow morning at 9. My car is still randomly having the steering freeze on me when driving, the noise when turning my steering wheel, and i now have a crackling noise in my a/c!
Uneven tire wear. Honda won't replace the bad control arms because i put on snow tires and they said that voids any warranty i would have, i've gone through several sets of tires now. Steering wheel shakes badly anytime i go over 50 mph. Brakes have issues. The car is unsafe and honda won't do anything about it.
The car goes out of third gear out of nowhere. I have had three close calls on the freeway due to the fact that as your accelerating the gear stops working and leaves the car in neutral when you should be going forward. This causes the car behind you to brake suddenly or you to loose focus of what's in front of you since you tend to look down to see what the problem is anddo not expect you car to be out of gear.
Started noticing a rough ride and excessive road noise so took my vehicle to a local honda dealer for alignment and was told the noise was due to tire wear. Over the past year two repair places that have replaced my oil have told me the tire wear was due to worn out struts.this spring the dealer finally told me it was a common problem caused by the upper control arms and it would cost close to $400 to replace them.my airbag sensor light had been on most of the time for the last couple of years and the honda dealer told me during this visit that this is also a common problem and if i didn't get it fixed my airbags would not deploy in case of an accident.this problem would require replacement of a wire harness for nearly $1300.i contacted american honda to see if there were recalls for these problems and they agreed to replace the control arms for $75 and the wiring harness for $375 but i only had 60 days to complete the repairs for this price.i got the arms replaced but didn't have the money to get new tires or replace the harness.i have noticed a significant loss of traction and the noise and vibration are so bad now that i can hardly drive the car.these both appear to be engineering issues that affect safety of the honda civic and recalls should be issued to prevent accidents.

I am having premature tire wear due to a faulty rear control arm. Please help! my car hydroplanes and the vibration on the steering wheel is horrible on the highway.
I've had/having several problems with my 2007 honda civic that i bought brand new. My back tires have worn very unevenly over the years and because of this car eating tires i've replaced tires almost every 2 years. There is also a popping sound when driving when you make a tight turn. I've also had many problems with my a/c. I've had the blower fan stop working and some component relating to it replaced 3 times. My a/c recently stopped blowing cold air after it spit out frozen freon through my vents. Mechanic has told me my freon was empty and compressor locked up. Now i need to throw money ($1400) at this repair as well!...updated 07/19/16

2007 honda civic hybrid1.)while driving at random times and different speeds the power steering will go out. This has happened on the freeway and while driving into town.i was very unsafe on the freeway.in the passing lane when this occurred and had to try to steer over to the emergency lane.3.) took it to honda dealer in salem a couple of months ago and had the recalled voltage converter replaced and told them about it.nothing apparently happened to correct itstill having the problem.

When driving and making left or right turns or u turns, there is a knocking sound coming from the front of the car. This has been happening since i have owned the car(27000 miles). The dealer visually inspected the front end but didn't see anything. The knocking can be felt through the steering and it feels like something is going to break. The car has 51000 miles and the problem still persists.
While driving in a residential area at approx 20-25 mph, there was a loud bump as if a rock had hit the underside of the car; shortly the steering was off kilter -- to go straight had to keep the steering wheel turned 30 degrees right; loud rubbing sound; pulled into a driveway and then could not back up -- found that right front tire was bent in, so that top of tire abutted the wheel well.car towed to dealer -- found strut bolts on right front tire were loose.car had been serviced one week prior: replaced failed starter and performed oil change and b service with inspection of brakes and tire rotation.

2007 honda civic with several problems. Consumer states that the fuses had no protective cover under the driver side dash. Steering was not aligned and the air conditioner was blowing hot air. And odometer is not registering properly.
My paint cracked on my hood, roof and fenders.i did have bird poop eat through the paint on the passenger door.i knew honda wouldn't cover the bird poop but i wanted to ask about the cracks.honda service said that my warranty did not cover the cracks from who knows what so i had to file an insurance claim.i had to have all those places on my car painted.i have since researched and found many other people complaining about the paint and having the same issues as me.i believe honda's paint is defective and should be investigated.i have never had a car's paint be so soft and of poor quality.i paid a lot of money for my car and believe if the paint doesn't hold up then rust will ensue and that is a safety issue.i want this problem addressed.the guy at the body shop said that he had to repaint 4 honda vans that have the blue paint because the paint was defective.i believe the silver paint is defective and would like someone to investigate this issue.people are buying these cars and believe they are going to last a long time and they are not.my 1992 honda accord's paint held up so why isn't my 2007 civic doing the same?thanks for your time.
Paint / clear coat failure on 2007 honda civic in 4 years. Paint / clear coat has oxidized and begun chipping away down to bare metal onroof, hood, and around door and trunk edges.
Opened our trunk recently and water poured into the trunk from the trunk door when we lifted it. Keeps happening every time after a rainy day (which is alot in florida). Now our trunk is smelly, moldy and damp. We cannot put our groceries, purse, suitcases, etc into the trunk or else they will get wet. It smells so bad in the cabin area that it is difficult to breathe and you have to drive with the windows down which is difficult with my allergies. The things we kept in the trunk like the jack are now rusted and the bag where i kept my jumper cables is moldy. Difficult to use the car now since we cannot put anything into it safely and cannot breathe in the cabin area.
The paint on the roof of my car is hazing and the clear coat is peeling.the hood of my car also has white spots.honda garage in moon twp., pa will only pay half of the cost to paint the roof of my car.they said there was a "goodwill recall" that ended in sept 2014, but i never received this.

I leased a 07 honda civic; i am having my vehicle repaired due to water damage.this is the third time i have to have this vehicle repaired due to a water leak into the cabin of the vehicle.the first 2 occurrences were covered by mfg warranty.the third occurrence is being attributed to high standing water and is not covered.the first occurrence of this issue was in 08/07, 5 months after i leased the vehicle.no leaks were found at that time, the carpeting and padding was replaced under mfg warranty.the second occurrence was in 07/08 the initial assessment was the vehicle was in high standing water.additional tests were run and leaks were found and repaired. The carpeting and the padding were replaced under mfg warranty. The third occurrence was in 9/08.the same reason was used that the vehicle was in high standing water.this occurrence will not be covered by mfg warranty.i am working with my insurance company to have the vehicle repaired.my complaint is it has been established that this vehicle has historical issues with water leaking.the dealership identified and repaired some of the issues.the third time it has happened and now it will not be covered.i am on my own and honda is taking no responsibility for this issue.i will now have to pay my deductible and my insurance rates will increase as a result of this claim.i am not sure what i am to do the next time it rains hard and the floorboard of my vehicle is soaked again.
Im sure im not the 1st person to complain about this issue my car is nighthawk black pearl its a 2dr honda civic ex coupe i've noticed that the top of my roofs paint is starting to fade and is spreading that's not normal. The clear code is going away leaving spots the size of a hand. There should be a recall on this issue.
I pulled down the sun visor on the passenger side and a few seconds later my husband pulled down his drivers side)visor in our 2007 honda civic lx and they both cracked and wouldn't go back up. This obstructed our view and made it difficult for him to see the road while driving and posing a safety hazard.
Car:honda 2007 civic sicomplaint:car has been driven normally.excessive inner tire wear on rear wheels eats tires to the threads.tire must be inspected closely since most of it will appear with plenty of tread. This is a safety issue and honda has already issued a service bulletin on many 2006/2007 civic (but this excludes the si).the problem is identical on the si but honda will not cover it as a defect.honda refuses to acknowledge that this is an issue with the 2007 civic si.
(1) recurrent (2) driver-side visor defect rendering it inoperable. Due for another replacement on july 7, 20082) power steering leaks (2). Due for another repair/replacement on july 7, 2008.
2007 honda civic has a reflection of the dash board onto the windshield causing a distraction.the consumer stated depending on the angle of the sun, there was a reflection that made it difficult to read the instrument panel.
Shortly before the vehicle went out of the manufacturers warranty i began to notice issues with the paint job.the paint began to develop large areas on the roof, hood, fenders, and several other areas of the car that were extremely faded with the clear coat totally wearing through.i brought this to the attention of the dearlership i bought the car from and they told me to call back in about two weeks when a regional rep. Would be at the dealership for him to examine.i called back and was asked if i could bring the car down that day, luckily i work only a few miles from the dealership and was able to bring the car down.when i got there my service advisor took the car for the "regional" guy to have a look.about 40 minutes later my service advisor came back to the service lounge to tell me that, according to the "regional" guy, who i never met, said that it was quote, "environmental issues" that caused the issues with the paint job and suggested that keeping the car out of the sun ( in florida !!!! ) would help.in an effort to retain me as a customer, since both myself and my wife have bought hondas from that dealership, they would make an offer to pay for half of the paint job and that they would repaint and my half of the bill would only be $1200.00 !!!!!needless to say i turned their offer down and will simply never ever purchase another honda nor will anyone else in my family !!!!!!
Honda civic 2007 visor pops open and does not grab. Visor floats down into field of vision. Honda not issuing recall they don't believe it is a safety issue. Maybe a lawyer will convince them.
My 2007 honda civic's paint started webbing and peeling on the hood and roof over a year ago. Dealer said not covered under warranty but suggested an auto body shop i could go to. Thanks but no thanks. Am not spending over 1,000 dollars for an obvious defect in honda's paint/primer. No more honda's for me.my car which i take excellent care of looks horrible.
I wastold by a friend that she got her civic painted because of a recall.i bought my car at the honda dealer in killeen texas, but i called my local greg may honda in waco tx service department.i told them i never received any notice stating there was a recall, and someone had told me about it.i was having the exact color issues with pealing, cloudy color on my roof, and a few other panels on my car. They told me that there was a recall but its past due now, and i basically will have to pay out of pocket for this.i am having my car roof painted this weekend, and will have to do the rest as i can afford it.what i don't understand is, why should i have to pay for a recall that honda said was happening if you never sent a notification to me.???i haven't been online here since i paid my car off, i didn't realize it would have recalls etc on here.i will keep watch now that i know.i love my hondas this is my second civic i also had an accord.can you do anything for me?i have photo's of my car with the damage if you need proof.thank you for your time and consideration regarding the above matter.
2007 honda civic. Consumer has issues about the blind spot on the driver and passenger's side of the vehicle. *njthe consumer stated the blind spot occurred between the vertical and the slanted front beams.
Driver side sun visor split open. One fine afternoon, i tried to move the sun visor in my car, the plastic split open with crack sound. I thought it just the problem with my car, but when i started looking for a replacement, i found lot of people have the same problem. Adding a complain to let you know its a widespread problem with honda civic.
Paint is peeling on car big areas on roof and car is only 5 yrs old, sunvisor broke into pieces and they wouldn't replace it even though it had a recall on it, and engine mount broke also.
Driver side visor mechanical fault.visor will not stay in the up position due to a broken mechanism. Causing an obstructive view.
Thin metal gauge of body allows for dings from acorns dropping from tree.i've had 5 other vehicles since owning this property and last fall my new honda hybrid developed over 20 quarter size dents all over the roof/trunk/hood.no other vehicles had this issue.
I have a water leak on passenger side
Upon replacing rear rotor's and brakes i discovered that the mounting point for the rear trailing arm was rusted out and not replaceable.upon investigation this seems to be a common issue with this model, and currently has a recall with honda canada, but not in the us. The car has been makeing noises while in motion and breaking so i assumed it was rust build up on my caliper mount bracket. Sadly its a poor design that honda wont admit that northern states that use salt this is a key point issue. Ive been driving my daughter around in this.
The paint on the roof of my 2007 honda civic start oxidizing and peeling away 2 years ago.at first it was just a small spot at the back of the roof and now it is manifesting to all over the roof.i received a recall for 2007 civics for paint peeling and i brought my vehicle to my local dealership where i was told that my vin number was not covered.i feel as honda is most assuredly being deceitful with their customerbase and certainly not taking care of them as they should.i felt safe and confident purchasing a honda just knowing they would stand behind their product and knew i would not have issues in the end.silly me.
Clear coat/paint is coming off on driver's side roof and driver's side window frame. Car has been kept up with washes only like suggested and honda won't do anything about it.
Premature paint fading on top of car front of moonroof and back of roof and growing.
I have a 2007 blue civic si sedan. The paint/clearcoat has begun to oxidize. Clear coat is flaking off all over the front fenders, hood, roof of car, a pillars, c pillars,spoiler and trunk. The side of the car have been ok so far. My car just missed the recall notice by a few months but has become worse every day. I wax my car 2-3 times a year and park in a garage at home and work. So the sun has minimal chance of ruining the paint. But the clear coat and paint are still coming off the car all over. It look horrible and now i am in need of a new paint job. Honda states there waiting for a new recall to come out and cover this but in tell then i have to take care of it. I am very disappointed with this issue as its a great car but now looks like crap and takes even more work to prevent rust. The paint issues began a year after my factory warranty expired. I did purchase this car new from a honda dealer.
The paint on the hood of the car has been steadily peeling. When we took it to the dealer they admitted that other people had similar problems they don't cover for the damages. It wasn't included in the warranty. The car was only 4 years old when we started noticing the problem.
My car is dark pearl blue. The paint began peeling on trunk and rooftop of car around april 2017. It began as white chalkysplotches and has grown.today most of rooftop is exposed along with trunk and now tops of doors starting to peel. The reps at my dealership stated there isn't a recall for this paint. Everything i read states honda used cheaper paint on certain year vehicles. They should be held accountable and provide owners with paint jobs. I don't understand why they only pulled in odyssey vehicles and not all vehicles with this issue.
Driver's window moves up and down.i put window up, and it comes down by itself.minor issue is clearcoat paint peeling off of bumper.
Early 2014 we approached honda of columbia, the purchase point of this car, about the factory paint flaking and coming off. Honda says we have to have the car repainted and show them the receipt before they will help offer financial help. That costs us $4000+ out of our pocket and then they may subsidize the cost.this car misses the original recall for defective painting by a couple of weeks. Her car has been well kept but not garaged. Independent paint shops confirm that it is a fault w/ the original painting process. Nearly the whole top/flat surfaces of the car are in question: spoiler, roof, trunk, hood, fenders and all other horizontal surfaces are affected. The vertical portions are in acceptable shape.the local dealer honda of columbia, s.c. Says this car doesn't fall into the factory recall criteria because it is an '07 and they only qualified up to '06. One of their service departmentreps assured us they it should be on the recall list and that even the color was one listed along w/ the other car colors.not honda of columbia denies that the car has to be repainted before they will help pay, but now only offer $1000 to subsidize the cost and still wont tell me how to make a claim. They suggested i call honda of america service folks and talk to themthey have yet to answer a call. There is no answer of any kind so i am unable to leave a message.what should i do...
I was driving and my car suddenly stopped in the middle of a very busy road, the vehicle started smoking while i was inside, it was so scary. I'm lucky that i'm alive.the vehicle was diagnosed by honda with a cracked engine. Honda was fully aware of the engine block leak issue back in 2013. Instead of offering a total recall to fix the issue for all the running civics, they simply offered a 10 year warranty, in case the problem surfaces. This is a safety issue and authorities should investigate how honda is handling these complaints. They refused to take responsibility and stand by their customers.
The paint started to peel at only 65,000 miles, back in 2015. The car, at that point, was 8 years old. It peeled in literally just a few months time. It's now patchy on the hood, roof and trunk.
The paint is peeling off the car, all over the car which isn't normal...it is not good for the environment and looks terrible
Takata recallit was around 3:45 am my brother woke me up said there was a loud crash outside so we went outside to find my neighbor parking and i go over to see and my car which was stationary in the street, it was smashed in from the front, i called the cops to make a report. I believe my neighbor was under the influence of something as i try to talk to her toget her insurance.
1. Safety recall notice indicative of air bag problem. Took to dealer. He said that it has been fixed after an hour of stay for passenger inflator-and whennoticed while driving back, the airbag light came again. Prior to this also, this problem was notified a few years ago, and i got it fixed. Dealer asking money for doing diagnostics and then fixing it. 2. Front and rear bumper clips fixed several times-4 times spending my own money but always a problem.
Paint/clear coat is deteriorating and cracking.honda dealer and american honda state that since the car is beyond the 3 yr warranty, there is nothing they can do (even though it is a defect).
The paint started peeling on the roof of my car, then went on to start on my hood.it has been quickly peeling more and more and looking worse and worse.before i went to spend $600+ on a new paint job, i found out online that there are many others that have complained of the same exact thing happening to their honda civics.if this is a problem with the quality of honda's paint, which is what most sources are saying, they should fix it for free.it's a 2007, this is not normal wear and tear.
Original paint is peeling. Never knew or told about the extended warranty for paint until i brought the car in yesterday for a passenger airbag recall on the car which also i have to know about by looking up online since we weren't told about it. Dealership confirmed that they cant do anything about the car paint anymore since the extended warranty expired.
Nhtsa recall number: 07v-399mfr campaign id: q56campaign description: '06-'07 hcm civic rear bearingrecall date: 08/30/2007recall status: 17 character vin requiredsummary:on certain vehicles, the wheel speed sensor housing uses an o-ring seal to prevent leakage to or from the wheel bearing. If assembled improperly, the o-ring may not seal properly allowing water to enter the wheel bearing and eventually cause damage to the bearing, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. If the driver continues to drive with this condition it is possible for the wheel bearing to become loose, which could cause the bearing to fail.safety risk:this could cause a wheel to fall off of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.remedy:dealers will inspect the rear abs sensors and wheel bearings for damaged parts and replace them free of charge. The recall began on september 25, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at 50 mph, the headliner slightly detached from the roof of the vehicle and obstructed the contact's visibility.

This civic is galaxy grey. The roof and trunk paint has begun to cloud, fade, crack, and peel. While not a safety issue, it will affect the resale value of the car.
The clear coat and paint job is bubbling and getting ready to crack and expose the car to rust.
Paint on the roof started fading and is getting worse as time goes by. Honda won't cover the paint on the roof under the warranty. They should fix the problem.
Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission.i patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution.honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably caused by my driving, the problem with the vehicle going into third gear is a known problem and there is a technical service bulletin that honda corporate has released for the exact problem.the headliner rattles, door gasket seal has been coming off since purchase, suspension popping noise in the front passenger side strut since purchase and the sound has become more frequent, the driver side visor was defective and was replaced, the driver door hits the fender when opening just started happening since honda worked on my vehicle.i have been taking my vehicle to two different dealerships (recommended by honda corporate) and nothing has been properly repaired.i feel as though i have been given the run around for the past year.honda has made several attempts to repair the problems and has not been able to, they have only damaged my vehicle during their attempts to repair it.they have damaged the front bumper three times, the side of the vehicle once, the door and fender once.they of course denied any involvement in the damage, then repair it under warranty.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the front driver's side sun visor was repaired per an unknown recall. After the repair, the visor fractured. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 244,000.
The primer/paint/top coat began to fail about 18 months ago.the problem seems to be contained to the hood and roof, and it is progressively getting worse.it seems there is a problem with the quality of the finishing products used by honda on this car.
Paint on the roof and rails is getting oxidized(with multiple patches all over the roof) on my honda civic coupe 2007. I'm first owner of the car and i do not expect the paint to get oxidized with in 5 years. Honda needs to fix my car and the paint they use and also honda should make deals responsible for this fix the paint oxidizing with 10 years of the car purchase.
Driver's sun visor split apart at the top seam, with the inner spring sticking out so it won't go back into place without (for now) using both hands to squeeze everything back in and try to reposition, otherwise it just hangs down and blocks view. Cannot safely lower the visor to use, so driving looking into the sun etc becomes hazardous.searched online to see if this was a design problem, and after reading posts from a few hundred different owners with the same problem (many have had the visors replaced multiple times), i gave up reading the other posts..
The paint is chipping and peeling all over the hood and sides of the front of the car.it is very ugly!
There is "popping/crackling" noise coming from the front suspension, which is occurring in many other civics. Seems like a faulty "bump stop" which american honda should be responsible for because its happening in many cars.secondly, the cheap paint which is used on their vehicles, they recently had a tsb on certain colors, its not only 3 colors which have this issue, i have a galaxy grey metallic which has paint issues on the roof like the other colors. American honda needs to get their act straight or this is the last vehicle i own and won't recommend to any of my friends or family.
I bought my 2007 honda civic coupe last febuary( haven't had problems until tonight car is leaking right there at the seams of the rear air bags and roof meet, the right side, water running down the sides onto the seat, discovered the other side was leaking at the same place but not as bad . Feel a cool breeze from both sides. Left side in the front where plastic and fabric meet at the top was leaking as well,the interior is soaked through. Obviously theres a problem with the seal or something but i am absolutitly furious about this situation,i did not spend $25,000 etc. In cash,for my damm car to leak a river,thats something i would expect from my 35 year old house,not my under a year old car. And a simple cleaning from a detailer is not gonna fix my problem. I am so pissed i can't even begin to express it. I just want to get this problem resolved even if that results in getting a new car and starting over again,cause the way i see it is that my car is damaged goods, yes you can fix the problem (maybe) but theres already water damage and who's knows how far the water has gone or what it has leaked into and if it is to be fixed who do i know it won't happen again.i don't exactly have a lot of money, by buying this car it is a hugepart of me that has to last and is the most expensive thing i own i will probably never have this chance to own a new car again and i'm not gonna let this slip by like its nothing. I didn't know who exactaly is in charge or who to go to so if chance be you can't help me i'm sure you can direct me to someone who can correct it. Feel free to forward this message to anyone who can help me.please contact me a.s.a.p before i have a small pond, river or lake in my car(and at that time the damage will already have been done).
After about a year after purchasing my car, i noticed the paint started to appear rather dusky. A short time later, my paint started to peel! my car was only three years old at time of purchase- so peeling paint is obviously not owners fault. No sooner did my roof begin to peel heavily, the hood and side panels and now trunk are starting to peel excessively. It is so embarrassing, and so gross.
Fading paint condition. My car is starting to show significant clear coat and paint fading on the c pillar ,trunk lid and right finder.vehicle. Currentmileage is under 55k miles
The trunklid of the 2007 honda civic departs from the open position while parked on a steep grade or with a gust of wind. Since most of the weight of the trunklid is aft the velocity of its movement increases as it is closing. The issue is persons attempting to load or retrieve items from the trunk compartment may suffer head injury as the lid is moving to the closed position without warning striking the person.
Paint on 2007 honda civic coupe (black) fading, chipping, oxidizing same as numerous other complaints on this site and several others.the wear on this paint is not "normal wear and tear" for a 6 year old vehicle, nor is it a result of inadequate wax, maintenance, etc.this is a defect which honda should fix.i am very disappointed in the low quality this vehicle is reflecting on honda products.
Clear coat and paint are peeling from top of vehicle in front of, and behind the sunroof.
Defective paint on this year civic.apparently according to internet reports, this is a common problem. I joined the class action suit against honda, not sure what else to do.
Clear coat is peeling off car on roof and front above both head lights
Rear tires tends to wear out faster due to design defect in upper controller arm.drivers will be unaware of wore tread wear towards the body side posing a risk to loose control in some circumstances especially during wet conditions.in addition, value of the car depreciated due to paint fading and honda knowingly denying any defect in the quality of the paint used as cost cutting tactic during 2007 early recession.
The paint of the car is peeling off. From everywhere. This car is beingparked in our driveway for last 4 ys. Before that it was parked in garage attached to the house.on the top it looks like it has some chemical reaction. On the bumper , hood and other places it looks like the color is peeling and it shows a white spot. This car is used ot drive only from home to work and barely long distance.
I have bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid and the air conditioner just stopped working. After going to the dealer i found out that a/c condenser was damaged. The dealership said that it was probably due to small pebbles on the road and that it would not be under warranty. I was shocked to hear that something like this would not be under warranty. I did some research online and found out there are thousands of complaints about the a/c condenser. It's not only on the civic, but also the accord and cr-v. This is a design problem on these vehicles and it should be recalled to have it fixed. There should be something in front of the condenser to protect it from being damaged. Once again, this is a design fault and it should be recalled asap. I have already informed everyone i know about this problem: friends, family, and co-workers. We were deciding to buy another honda car this year, but unless this issue is fixed we will not buy any honda's or its partners such as acura.
The doors do not stay open like every car usually does when they are opened.this causes a problem when loading and unloading car seats, people, groceries, etc.when the doors are opened, they automatically close back up. I'm concerned because the door, (when it closes by it's self,) hits a lot people in the back that expecting the door to stay open when they enter the car.there is also risk of it slamming a persons finger.i get many complaints from my passengers.

Feel a cool breeze from both sides. Left side in the front where plastic and fabric meet at the top was leaking as well,the interior is soaked through. Obviously theres a problem with the seal or something but i am absolutitly furious about this situation,i did not spend $25,000 etc. In cash,for my damm car to leak a river,thats something i would expect from my 35 year old house,not my under a year old car. And a simple cleaning from a detailer is not gonna fix my problem. I am so pissed i can't even begin to express it. I just want to get this problem resolved even if that results in getting a new car and starting over again,cause the way i see it is that my car is damaged goods, yes you can fix the problem (maybe) but theres already water damage and who's knows how far the water has gone or what it has leaked into and if it is to be fixed who do i know it won't happen again.i don't exactly have a lot of money, by buying this car it is a hugepart of me that has to last and is the most expensive thing i own i will probably never have this chance to own a new car again and i'm not gonna let this slip by like its nothing. I didn't know who exactaly is in charge or who to go to so if chance be you can't help me i'm sure you can direct me to someone who can correct it. Feel free to forward this message to anyone who can help me.please contact me a.s.a.p before i have a small pond, river or lake in my car(and at that time the damage will already have been done).
When i loaded my stuff into the trunk, the trunk lid didn't stay and fell down and hit my upper arm. The accident caused bruise on my arm. I've noticed this problem before.
Shortly after the vehicle warranty expired, we began to notice a loud humming sound coming from the rear wheels which steadily got worse.also, we experienced extreme lack of control over the car during icy conditions.we discovered that the humming sound was coming from rear tires that were severely cupped.it was necessary to purchase new back tires, get the front and back aligned, and purchase and have installed, a stabilizer bar.we understand that this is a common defect in this model and year of car.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving approximately 25 mph, a loud whining noise emitted from the rear of the vehicle. The contact continued to drive. The vehicle was taken to a tire center three different times for the similar failure where the replacement of both rear tires was performed each time. The tires defect was due to premature wear which was contributed to the faulty rear upper control arms. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.the vin was not available.
I went to honda dealer for maintenance and found out that my rear tires are wearing prematurely and unevenly.i only have 38000 miles on the car and regularly maintained at honda dealerships.dealer suggested me to change all four tires for that and alignments + replace rear upper arm, which is causing uneven wearing of rear tires.however honda is not doing anything about this issue and they charges customers for all cost for prematurely wearing tires and cost for replacing defectively designed parts.i have searched online and many other customers are complaining about this issues and honda is unresponsive to the issue.
I replaced the original 2007 tires at 41,887 miles in 2009 with premature wear.eighteen months later, i had terrible road noise.i thought it was the bearings.it turns out that despite an alignment and proper rotation, my tires were all cupped in less than 26,000 miles.the mechanic mentioned the problem honda had with the rear upper control arms in this vehicle.i just spent another $218 to get updated rear upper controls arms on top of $800 for new tires and another alignment.honda is responsible for the poor quality control and not alerting me that this was a problem.the tires i just replaced were good for 85,000 miles.
Tires severely worn and cupped, car has serious vibrationasked honda dealer for a wheel alignment they stated the problem was rear control arm so the honda dealer replaced it i had to pay 1/3, the dealer paid 1/3 and honda paid 1/3 or so i was told after much bickering.
Excessive inner tire wear.wheel is out of alignment, but not adjustable.fix is to purchase adjustable arms, then align.
The rear suspension has a "geometry problem", the upper control arms are too short resulting in negative camber which causes the rear tires to wear out quickly on the inside edge. I bought new tires and they are ruined after 12k miles. Apparently honda is aware of the problem, there is a honda service bulletin 08-001 about it sent to dealers. As for safety, the rear tires appear to be fine from the outside, plenty of tread left. It is only the very edge on the inside of the tire that is worn quite badly. Hence the safety issue: someone could be confident they have new tires in great condition from the outside appearance, until the inside edge wears out to the point of the tire blowing out while they're driving. This really should be a recall for all affected civics.
We bought this car new from the dealer in '07. We have been putting 3 to 4 sets of tires on this car per year, for the last five years, that is not acceptable....it runs in to money and is very unsafe in the winter time.while checking on the internet, i found alot of other people with the same problem.we all feel this should be a recall.even replacing the rear upper control arms does not fix the problem, we have tried, and so have others.this comes from the factory.honda prides themselves on safety...this is not safe...the car is constantly fighting with itself on the road therefore wearing tires.please consider a recall on this vehicle.08 001 was a code i read on the internet, i'm not sure what this is, but sutherland honda in fredericton, n.b. Will not make any compensations for this defect.honda knows about this problem, but as of yet will not do a recall.please help us before someone gets killed on the highways.
Driving into the parking log going around 7 mph the support arm for the rear right wheel shock/suspension snapped in the middle and my wheel was basically dragging for around 20 feet so i could park and wait for the tow truck. This car is used as a commute car since i live in the country i drive around 70 miles a day combined mostly at 70 mph on cruise control on decent highways. I don't jump off ramps or drive crazy this is clearly poor manufacturing, workmanship, or design. I'm glad it happened when i was parking and not on the highway.
My 2007 honda civic back wheel bearing failed. Iseen on the web there is a recall on this car nhtsa campaign no.07v399000. I took the car to walker honda in alexandria louisiana for recall repair and was told there is no recall on this car. So i replaced the bearing myself. I would like to know is there a recall on this car and can i make honda pay me back for parts and labor on this repair.
2007 honda civic. Consumer states problem with vehicle tires *tgwthe consumer stated the rear tires had to be replaced three times. The consumerstated it was a known defect as honda issued a tsb to the dealership describing the problem, but no notification was ever sent to the consumer.
Original rear upper control arms (oem) need to be replaced due to known camber misalignment from factory. This well-known issue from honda (on 2006 - 2009 civics) causes uneven wear and shortens the lifetime of tires. The only option available to bring the alignment specs (camber) back into a safe range is to replace the upper control arms and tires.
There has been uneven tire wear, particularly at the rear of our 2007 honda civic. Ever since we bought the car.the feathering of the tread resembled a tracking problem, but we also had wheel bearing failures.three were replaced over the last 3 years.the dealer never checked the track despite my queries.i now find that there is a honda service bulletin that was issued regarding rear suspension in february 2008.the dealer still hasn't addressed the problem beyond selling us new tires and adjusting the track and charging us for the full cost.they did not perform the recommended replacement of components.
I took my brand new 2007 honda civic coupe lx and right after i took it, i found the car is drifting to right when driving on my way home. The dealer i bought it form told me that it is within spec. It took about 7 sec to drift from one lane to another on highway. This is within their spec. This is honda's quality.
I purchased this 2007 honda civic coupe new in may of 2007. There was a class action suit and subsequent recall for the rear upper control arms that caused severe uneven tire wear and vibration. The problem i have is that the fix did not fix the problem and honda will not stand behind making it right. The replacement arms do not provide sufficient latitude in the adjustment in camber. There are after market fixes for this. My concern is that the tire wear and subsequent handling while driving are a hazard on the road. This may alsobe cause for a new class action suit, as the original "fix" was not a fix.
My 2007 honda civic (currently 42,000 miles) has a loud noise and vibration when driving.the sound has become worse as the more miles i drive.when the rear tires are rubbed across, flat spots on the tires can be felt.honda wrote a repair forum stating that the cause of this is the improper design of the rear upper control arms.these arms are too short causing the camber of the wheels to be incorrect.i have called honda corporation at least 4 times and have contacted ourisman honda of laurel (where i purchased the vehicle) at least 5 times.neither one has been of any help. Tom alexander (service manager) fromourisman honda of laurel has not returned my phone calls.he told me that since my car was out of warranty (past 36,000 miles) then he would look at my case as goodwill (as in he looked at my service history like oil changes and such with the dealership and will base his decision on replacement at no cost on this, ridiculous). I want my rear upper control arms replaced with no cost since the part was incorrectly designed.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While traveling 60 mph, the contact drove over a bump and noticed that the vehicle had began to sway from left to right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the rear sway bars were replaced. The current mileage was 80,000 and the failure mileage was 20,000.
Since i got my car with 62,000 miles every time i take it to get oil changes every 3 months the tell me the control arms are bad and causing uneven wear on the tire tread...i get new tires and it only last so long before the car starts to shake because of the uneven wear not even going at a high speed... It makes it harder to stop due to the shaking which scares me when i have to stop suddenly due to other drivers or something in the road..
2007 honda civic. Ltr. Regarding resolution of issues outlined in honda service bulletin 08-001. *njthe consumer experienced uneven/rapid tire wear. The consumer was informed that there were several cases where tires on 2006 and 2007 civic's required tire replacement within 11,000. The consumer stated the problem was not the tires, but its condition outlined in the bulletin.
Rear tires are wearing down faster than the front, yet it's front wheel drive.
Purchased 2007 honda civic ex on 3/10/07. On 8/7/07 took car in for routine maint. Oil pan drain plug replaced. On 8/9/07 steering system made noise when turning. Took to dealer, no problem found. On 10/8/07 took car back to dealer with same issue. Dealer said "during assembly some rear wheel speed sensors may have been improperly installed and do not seal the hub assembly. Sensors were inspected and they deemed no repair necessary. On 12/26/07 took car to dealer for same noise when turning wheel. Steering wheel locked up when driving!! when accelerating, car made a whining type of noise. Dealer kept my car over night and found p/s pump whining due to no fluid in system. P/s rack was leaking. Power steering reservoir was empty. Found power steering rack leaking from both ends. Replaced power steering rack and realigned wheels. On 7/7/08 took car to dealer,steering wheel locked up again while driving. Still have noise when turning the steering wheel back and forth. Dealer kept my car for 3 days without giving a loner to me. When dealer did diagnostic, they pulled up 7 codes and stated "gauge control lost communication, may be old codes related to past repairs. Did not find a cause for steering to lock. Found that the noise when turning the wheel was caused from the seal at the firewall was rubbing on steering shaft. Corrected insulation and found when at idle and turning wheel, hood vibrated and made a noise. They adjusted rubber stoppers and rechecked saying it is all ok. Now, today on 7/17/08 i had steering wheel lock up on me for a brief second. Took my car to a mechanic i know and they told me to fill out this form. They said the noise i hear in my steering column should have been fixed by dealer. I called dealer at 3 pm today and will be taking my car back to dealer tomorrow morning at 9. My car is still randomly having the steering freeze on me when driving, the noise when turning my steering wheel, and i now have a crackling noise in my a/c!
2007 honda civics eat up tires.something is wrong with the suspension of the car that causes the tires to wear at unevenly and dangerously quick.we only get 1/3 of the warranty life of tires and when we replace the technicians tell us the tires are unsafe to drive on.they are worn unevenly, blistered on the inside so much that wires are sticking through.this is a common complaint for this vehicle.
This is related to suspension...three issue i have observed1. The tires on my civic 2007 have uneven wear...i changed my tires about 2 years ago and could see the uneven wear on the old tired..that time i ignored it assuming it to be an alignment issue...however the new tires are also wearing out unevenly and that after after proper alignment.the last time i got tires rotated the mechanic suggested there is likely some faulty suspension. Now i firmly believe it.2. I hear a pop/cluncking sound when going over bumps.3. I hear a click/pop sound coming from the front wheels when turning.
Design failure of the rear control arm that is too short resulting in improper camber setting causing abnormal wear of rear tires.... Excessive wear on inside of tires and cupping.2 sets of tires in 43000 miles.had to replace with after marked "adjustable" camber arms.
Rear tires tends to wear out faster due to design defect in upper controller arm.drivers will be unaware of wore tread wear towards the body side posing a risk to loose control in some circumstances especially during wet conditions.in addition, value of the car depreciated due to paint fading and honda knowingly denying any defect in the quality of the paint used as cost cutting tactic during 2007 early recession.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at approximately 35 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired twice, but the failure recurred. The contact was informed that the struts needed to be replaced a third time. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
Can't get dealer to replace airbag (passenger) on recall. They say parts are backordered. Service bulletin, 08-001 was never informed of and now cost is borne by user to replace faulty suspension parts
Honda civic hybrid has tire wear on inner part of back tires. At 21,000 miles dealer says the back tires need to be replaced, they say it may be a balance problem. I researched the problem and safety bulletin indicates the rear control arm is defective, but car hasn't been recalled. The control arm needs replacement, but they will only give a % of replacement for back tires. It sounds like if the problem is not fixed there will continue to be unsual tire wear, which poses a safety risk to drivers. Am contacting dealer tomorrow about problem.
My 2007 honda civic ex started to vibrate excessively at highway speeds and there was an incredibly loud "howling" noise coming from the back tires.i took it in repeatedly and was told that my tires were fine, and that essentially i was imagining this problem and or blowing it out of proportion.it was only recently that i learned of honda's service bulletin 08-001 for uneven and or rapid tire wear.with information in hand, i went back to the dealership to which they acted like they knew nothing of the bulletin.after keeping my car for the day, they said in the first call that it was due to lack of rotation (even though) i rotate every 10k ,then they call back and say that my back two tires are worn-out; but the wear is not comparable to the wear that would fall under the bulletin.they then proceed to tell me that it is typical to have to replace your tires every 30-40k miles.i have owned 7 hondas and have never had to replace tires that soon.it is just amazing to me that i have detailed every symptom in that bulletin, prior to even knowing that it existed andthey are going to tell me that it has nothing to do with the rear upper control arm.i am taking it to another honda dealership and will continue to do so until the problem is resolved.i am severely disappointed in honda.
When i originally purchased this vehicle at $14,000 miles i immediately started to hear noise from the tires at highway speed but it wasn't until my failed inspection that i noticed the severity of the uneven wear/ear on mainly the back tires. Due to a control arm recall, i went to honda in order to get this fixed and purchased my own tires at the time since they wouldn't cover it. Unfortunately, about 19,000 miles later, again my inspection failed due to the tires. I had replaced it again but at this time honda would not do anything and told me that it is past the warranty point and if i bring it in and they find that there's something wrong, i would have to pay for it as its not covered under my general warranty. I don't get this because clearly it is a manufactures recall and i shouldn't have to pay for this plus my tires every 19,000 miles. I purposely chose to buy a honda because they are known to be economical and reliable. None of which my '07 honda civic ex has been. I tried taking it out with new tires during the snow; biggest mistake. Even driving in the rain is a hazard. This should be a huge warning for those who are in the market for a honda civic. These cars are not worth the price if the tires are not reliable. Tires are an important sector of a car. This is really disappointing and i would not think twice about taking this matter to court.
The rear tires wear out unevenly due to defective rear control arms.
Apparently cannot be aligned properly.i'm replacing 3rd set of tires within 50k miles.
After 16000 mi the rear tires where cupped and worn to the belts on the inside edge, purchased new tires and 15000 mi later the exact same abnormal tire ware was experianced. Dealer replaced rear upper control arms which were defective from the factory but i had to pay for tires, labor, and a 4wheel alignment. Honda needs to step up and admit that its tsb should be a recall!!!
Excessive noise from rear end of vehicle unrelated to normal higher noise from all season tires. The noise is so bad that passengers cannot converse in the car with the windows closed.excessive unusual wear on tires requiring frequent replacement.honda put out a service bulletin 08-001 feb 5, 2009 about this problem but has not issued a recall.i think that honda should do a recall or offer to pay something toward the corrective action they mention in their service bulletin.a rear upper control arm kit, new tires, alignment and labor charges are needed to be done and parts will need to be shipped to me from the us so i can have the repairs done where i am stationed here in germany.i'm frightened to take the care out on the autobahn.thanks.
2007 honda civic lx vibrates excessively at approximately 70 mph shaking driver and passengers to the point that conversation via bluetooth hands free device is greatly impaired.the vibration has already led to early tire wear and the vehicle pulls to the right when driving.i have already paid for wheel alignment twice and replaced both rear tires once and a second rear tire a second time seemingly due to this problem.i also fear damage to the vehicle or that there will be threatened vehicle safety, as the car feels like it is shaking apart at times.the vibration/shaking occurs all times that the vehicle approaches 70 mph and many times at slower speeds.on-line research has shown a too-short rear arm in the vehicle suspension causing a number of similar problems in several 2007 vehicles.honda has so far shown no acknowledgement of a problem in this arena nor offered to do anything about it.
I bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid from a certified honda dealership.the design flaw of the rear tire arms of the vehicle caused the tire arm to rub on the tires of the car until the tires were nearly bald causing the car to shutter and the structure of the tires to weaken endangering me and my passengers.when i took the car to honda, i was forced to replace the tires prematurely 2 times since owning the car due to the irregular wear on the tires.honda did not notify me of the problem, refused to pay for new tires but finally admitted after the second pair of tires were rubbed bald, that the tire arm of the car was causing damage to the tires.they repaired the tire arm, but would not pay for new tires.the transmission of the car is also flawed in design.occasionally when accelerating, the gas pedal of the car can be pushed to the floor and the car will not continue to accelerate and will loose power.this has happened at stop lights, entering the freeway, and going up hills endangering my life and the lives of my passengers.honda again, did not notify me of the problem, but told me when i brought the car in after experiencing the problems that i needed an upgrade to my computer and that those upgrades may fix the problem. Those updates to the computers effect the battery of the hybrid part of the car's engine. Those batteries are loosing the ability to hold a chargeand causing the transmission to fail because the car relies on that battery power to run the engine.the gas mileageof the car has also been steadily declining.when the car was new, it got 45 mpg and honda advertised it get 50 mpg, the car now gets around 33 mpg.the computer updates are changing the way the car runs off of gas and battery power and honda is not replacing the faulty batteries.this has endangered my life and the lives of my passengers because the faulty batteries effect how the car operates.
Honda manufactured faulty rear upper control arms, and thus made the car defective causing uneven tire wear in the rear tires. Honda refuses to cover the factory defect and correct the problem. Honda created the problem from day one regardless of the mileage orage of the car. I did not cause the factory problem, due to the fact i did not make the car. American honda is responsible.
Tires wear out , due to weak stabilizer bars on rear end, honda replaced the stabilizer's, and aligned car, however don't pay to replace tires, only way to know you have a problem is to take car to dealer, if you get you service anywhere else, you don't know you have a problem. I took car in for oil change and got the word about the service bulletin.
The tires on my 2007 honda civic kept show bad wear and had to rotate every 10,000-15,000 until couldn't do it anymore, bought several sets of tires::solved the problem buy paying almost $900 to fix the arms on the rear end. Said thing is honda knew and knows about this problem but wont do a recall...good news is after all my sets of tires and $900 dollars my car is now getting good wear out of the tires.
I purchased car from honda dealership in may 2008; a honda service bulletin regarding problem with rear upper control arms was issued in february 2008. Therefore, the dealership knew of the problem, but did not fix it or inform me prior to purchasing vehicle. Around february 2010, i started experiencing severe problems with the handling of my car. It vibrated and shook aggressively at highway speeds and i had absolutely no control over the vehicle whatsover on wet roads. It felt like only two wheelswere on the ground at any given moment. At 42k miles in july 2010, i replaced the tires at ntb. (i thought issues were related only to bad tires.) now, 30k miles and a little over a year later, i am experiencing the exact same problems. Severe vibration, loss of control. My car feels like a death trap that i don't have the money to buy my way out of.after investigating the problem online and discovering that the car had a manufacturing flaw, i feel like i have been scammed by honda.
I have a 2007honda civic sedan lx i bought this car brand new from the dealership in december 2006, it currently has over 165,000 miles on it, (yes i know its high) but i have replaced my tires a good 5 times, now im about to buy another set, its always the rear tires that i have replaced. I didn't know honda hadthis issue, now that i know about it im very upset that i could have had this fixed since the beginning.the problem i have is the rear tires have been wearing unevenly and wearing extremely fast. This of course has caused me a lot of frustration. Im hoping that honda corp will help me pay for the fix.
Rear upper control arm kit needs to be replaced.currently causes uneven, rapid tire wear.i bought the car new in 2007 from this dealership and have it serviced by this dealership since then. A service bulletin 08-001 was issued 1/22/08, but i was just told by the dealership on 8/18/14 about this. They refuse to cover the cost of repair.
Rapid tire wear occurred on the inner portions of both rear tires. The problem was discovered after noticing much road noise and having the tires rotated. Two new tires were purchased and the rear upper control arms were replaced. The problem still exists to this day after consulting two different honda garages they both confirmed that the rear control arms were installed correctly and are within spec. Both garages recommended replacing the tires again, but this is becoming very costly. The ride of the car over the last year has gotten significantly worse and now i'm noticing braking problems. The car hops in the back when applying the brakes at highway speeds. Honda is denying the problem and has offered no compensation.
The control arms on 2006-2007 honda civics are defective which causes uneven tire wear in the rear tires. The inside edge of the tires go bald quickly and the rear end of the car begins to 'jump' around on the highway. There is a service bulletin issued by honda (08-001), but they will not fix the problem. The car feels very unstable on the highway. We have had to replace the tires and get an alignment every year.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at any speed, the rear suspension caused the tire to exceedingly vibrate from the rear end. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.
I have had my vehicle for 2 years now. In that time i have put only 20000 miles on the vehicle. I have had to replace my tires twice already on the vehicle due to uneven wear on the tires. The camber of the tires is affected by the rear control arms. This also caused the rear suspension to wear, which i have already had to replace on the vehicle. When breaking my steering wheel shakes affecting my steering. This is caused by the uneven inner tire wear on this vehicle. I am concerned for the safety on this vehicle and i believe other similar vehicles might have the same issue. It is also become a quite expensive problem for me to have to deal with on this vehicle. To whom it may concern,thank you!
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic si. While driving at approximate speeds of 50 mph, the front passenger side tire blew out without warning. The next week, the rear driver side tire blew out suddenly. Upon further inspection, the contact believed the failure to be attributed to the manner in which the tires were mounted to the vehicle. The dealer advised the vehicle would need a specific unknown tire and an alignment. The contact confirmed the failure persisted and the dealer was unable to determine the exact cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000 and current mileage was 75,000.
I bought a brand new 2007 honda civic hybrid that i have had to replace the tires on 3 times and the vehicle only has 45,000 miles. Counting the original tires that came on the vehiclethat's 4-sets of tires. These tires were 70,000 mile rated tires. I contacted my local dealer in little rock, ar and they advise that there is no recall to fix the problem; however,they stated that honda was aware of the problem and attributed it to a defective rear camber arm. They advised me that there is apublic safety bulletin 08-001on the part. Because no recall has been issued for the defective rear camber arm they advised me that it would cost $700 to replace the defective ones. The excessive tire wear caused by this defective part can easily result in tire blow-outs, vehicle accidents, and highway fatalities. The fact that a known safety deficiencyexist that honda is aware of but unwilling to correct needs to be investigated.
Excessive and uneven tire wear....cupping.honda will not do anything since the car is out of warranty even though they issued a service bulletin regarding the rear control arms being faulty.
I purchased a slightly used civic from a dealer in january of 2009 and began to drive it on icy roads in ontario winter.my wife who usually drives the car complained she was scared to drive it if there was any ice on the road surface because the car would suddenly shift position sideways in the lane.i found the rear tires worn out very fast on the inside of both wheels.i did some research and found out honda had issued a service bulletin to replace the rear upper struts with a longer unit.the dealer did not disclose this information when i bought the car but after i brought it up volunteered to replace them and negotiated with me for half the replacement cost of the tires.i thought this would solve the problem.the next set of rear tires also wore prematurely on the inside in about 25000 miles.when i called the honda dealer he told me i needed an alignment.i paid for an alignment at an independent garage and was told the real wheels could not b adjusted to correct the negative camber.i went back to the dealer who told me that honda did not recognize this defect and the warranty would not cover any remedy.he did a free realignment for me with difficulty and said to rotate my tires more often.i tried that and my next set of tires wore out on the inside just the same.the dealer did say there was an aftermarket part that may correct the problem but i would have to pay for the installation ($600).i have about 180000 kilometers on the vehicle.the vehicle makes rear noise and the vibrationcannot be good for the vehicle.this could be a safety issue.
I am having premature tire wear due to a faulty rear control arm. Please help! my car hydroplanes and the vibration on the steering wheel is horrible on the highway.
Increasingly worse rear tire noise. Dealer says normal. Eventual first oil change and dealer admits to tech. Svc. Bulletin. 4hrs labor (no loaner) and hard sell to replace tires for $300 aprox. Since this was my fault(?) sun visor failed and has become a hazard with no remedy available, only another defective visor.
2007 honda civic. Consumer writes to express discontent with honda motor co. *tgwthe consumer stated at 21,560 the original tires on his vehicle were replaced due to extreme uneven wear.the consumer stated his mechanic informed him of a service bulletin that was issued in july 2009 regarding rapid/uneven rear tire wear.the consumer stated he has since purchased his third set of tires for the vehicle.
Premature tire wear and failure due to rear upper control arm suspension defect.
While driving in a residential area at approx 20-25 mph, there was a loud bump as if a rock had hit the underside of the car; shortly the steering was off kilter -- to go straight had to keep the steering wheel turned 30 degrees right; loud rubbing sound; pulled into a driveway and then could not back up -- found that right front tire was bent in, so that top of tire abutted the wheel well.car towed to dealer -- found strut bolts on right front tire were loose.car had been serviced one week prior: replaced failed starter and performed oil change and b service with inspection of brakes and tire rotation.
Faulty suspension causes tires to wear quickly and unevenly. Tires develop cups that cause excessive vibration at all speeds.
Excessive noise at highway speeds caused me to ask dealer about this as one shop stated rear shocks were worn and needed to be replaced. Dealer printed out service bulletin 08-001 which explained the problem about rear tires cupping and improper upper control arms being installed when manufactured. Dealer has not said cost of incorrect part is covered, and i will have to buy two new tires, replacement cost of both upper control arms and four wheel alignment. This is a manufacturing error on honda's part and consumers should not have to bear the cost of part and tire replacements. American honda should recall and replace. Many bona fide complaints on this fault, which contributes to personal and vehicle safety. Most owners are unaware of this problem!
There is "popping/crackling" noise coming from the front suspension, which is occurring in many other civics. Seems like a faulty "bump stop" which american honda should be responsible for because its happening in many cars.secondly, the cheap paint which is used on their vehicles, they recently had a tsb on certain colors, its not only 3 colors which have this issue, i have a galaxy grey metallic which has paint issues on the roof like the other colors. American honda needs to get their act straight or this is the last vehicle i own and won't recommend to any of my friends or family.
3rd set of tires due to tires wearing unevenly due to rear control arm problem honda knows about.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the control arms causing the inner tires to prematurely wear.the vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the control arms needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
My 2007 hit 80,000 miles and i just had to get my third set of rear tires (after the originals) because of extremely fast wear in a cupping pattern.it has gotten so bad that between one oil change to the next my independent mechanic told me i needed to replace two year-old tires immediately because they were in danger of the tread separating from the body of the tire and causing an accident.the abnormal tire wear started at about 39,000 miles when the first set of tires wore out.i had thought i just had some bad tires for the first and second replacement sets, but after i bought a third set of rear tires - and my second set of michelin tires - i figured there must be something else to this and so checked with the dealer.the honda dealer acknowledges this is apparently a "common" problem with the 2006-07 civics and the (sort of) fix is to replace the control arms in the rear suspension and do a 4-wheel alignment.they don't see it as a safety issue and apparently honda will not do the replacement at no charge.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while the dealer inspected the vehicle, the dealer determined that both the front and rear axles were defective. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.
Passenger side tires experiencing excessive wear on inside edge.took to mechanic for 4 wheel alignment, but mechanic said upper control arm assembly had excessive negative camber which could not be adjusted to proper setting.mechanic indicated assembly needed to be replaced.found that issue appears to be the same as that detailed in honda service bulletin no.: 08-001, also detailed in nhtsa id number: 10024687.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving approximately 70 mph the vehicle began to vibrate. The contact stated that over time the vibration became much worse and more profound while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle was in the process of being taken to an authorized dealer in regards to a suspension related technical service bulletin.the failure mileage was 69,000. The current mileage was 72,000. The vin was unavailable.
The rear wheels had excessive and uneven tire wear on the inside of both tires, because of the rear upper control arm being too short, causing the camber to be out.this in turn, caused misalignment and excessive tire wear.i had no warning of how fast my tires were wearing out, and they almost wore to the steel belt, which could have caused an accident.i regularly service my honda civic at the honda dealer for each oil change and inspection, but was not notified of any problems at the last service appointment.i believe this is a known manufacturer problem, that needs to be addressed and recalled to be fixed.
Was advised of uneven tire wear (cupping) and brought car to tire store for alignment and possibly new tires.tire store (also repair shop) was unable to perform alignment because of problem with bent camber arms. I paid approx $700 to replace.(note: i own another 2007 civic which had same problem and paid for same replacement/repair).repair shop said that this has been a problem with hondas.though i my repair shops conscientously check tech bulletins, honda did nothing to make me or the repair shops aware of this problem., i have seen other postings with similar suspension problems and believe that honda needs to step up and own it.
I am on my 3rd set of tires on a car that has 58,000 miles.research shows that this is a common problem on honda civics for 2006-2007.there seems to be a problem/defect in the design of the car and honda is not standing behind their product.we need help.
Bad control arm causing premature.tire wear.
I have found out that the reason for my irregular wear on my tires has not been alignment problems but a problem that honda has had with not having the right rear upper control arms.i have went through multiple sets of tires and alignments before finding this out.i contacted honda after this find and they are not willing to help in the cost to repair this.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.while driving 10 mph, the contact heard a loud rattling and roaring noise coming from the tires.he took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the front strut linkage.immediately after the repair, the failure resurfaced.all four tires were replaced, but the failure continued to persist.a tire specialist stated that the rear passenger rear shock failed, but no repairs were made.the contact was advised by a technician to closely monitor the issue.he is in the process of having the vehicle inspected again.the failure mileage was 18,000 and current mileage was 46,000.4/01/09 nj*updated 04/07/09.
Tires have worn unevenly due to rear balance arm/ strut assembly issue which have caused the wheel assembly to canter and be toed in, which in turn has also damaged the suspension/springs. Car now leans to driver side in the rear. Car has had 4 sets of tires and has less than 90,000 miles. Due to uneven tire wear the car is extremely loud (ear damaging loud) and vibrates (shimmies) at speeds above 40mph. We were told by a honda dealership that only an after market adjustable balance arm will correct the problem. American honda refuses to take any accountability.
Premature tire wear leading to loud rear axle noise, and tire failure.first set of tires failed after 14000 odometer miles.second set at 37000 odometer miles.the dealer indicated that there is defective weld in the control arms.
Took car to discount tire because rear tire not holding air.on inspection of tire it was worn where the belts were exposed.replaced tires at that time and had alignment. Tires rated for 60,000 miles. On 1/30/2013 took car in for tire rotation.was shown badly cupped tires.mileage on the car was 67,000.half the mileage the tires were rated for.replaced tires yet again.just received notice of a class action suit and control arm replacement for the honda civic.this does not include the honda civic si 2007.why is the si excluded??.it is exactly the same body style and uses the same control arms which appears to be the source of the problem.in fact, your safety complaint form doesn't even list honda si.it only lists honda civic. With such aggressive uneven tire wear it would seem to pose a serious safety problem since the tires wear out so quickly.
Jan. 14, 2008, while driving my 2007 honda civic, i notice at 55mph the civic vibrate and make an unusual noise. I took my civic into my local honda dealership on jan. 16, 2008 for complaints about vibration at 55mph and clicking when trying to start my civic. There was no problem found on the clicking, when i arrived i had the service writer to come out and listen to the clicking, the service writer agreed there was clicking. The other issue of vibration when at 55mph i was advised honda will contact me once a repair is available on the service customer copy form. Also, the service writer told me over the phone there had been numerous complaints about this issue honda would repair the problem, the problem is causing my tires to wear uneven andi was going to get new tires.
I had car crash two weeks ago with honda civic exi 2007, during driving past three years i complained in service center few times last year about car stability in turns and after drive test they came up with nothing, it happened with me few times that after taking sharp turn the care swing and the car go out of control.this time i was taking exit from the bridge and turning down to the main road ,i realize that the turn is sharp and i tried to slow down but the care doesn't response instead the crazy movement happened again and this time i was holding the wheel and make strong brake surprisingly the car accelerate and turn back to hit the side steel rail , i couldn't explain to police and all the people passes by the accident shocked about what happened that it seem up normal car response , i was in conversation with friend has the same car and i shocked after i know he has made accident the same way , not only him but in visiting the show room the dealer had the same accident but with jazz car , i realize that honda has serious problem in stability and iurge all honda drivers to take care and drive safe and try to get rid of this car and i urge all concerned person to act or conduct the complain in order to find solution before we honda kill more life's.
It's been going through tires quickly. Back wheels converted top side inward. Had to change wheel bering. Fixing to replace upper arm control arm. It has 65614 milage on it.
Rear tires have abnormal wear which is causing vibration and noise due to a faulty rear control arm. This may cause safety problems.
I just had to replace the tires for the second time on this car. The car is expiring uneven tire wear. This does effect braking of the car as well. Honda has admitted that the rear control arm is to short effecting suspension and tire wear. This is dangerous because the visible part of my tire looked fine, plenty of tread and about 38000 on a 90000 mile tire. The inside of the tire was so worn it actually had a hole worn in it. This wear issue could cause a tire to fail while traveling at a high rate of speed. Please help the owners of these vehicles get a recall from honda before someone is hurt.
I purchased a new 2007 honda civic ex coupe from the local honda dealership. Within a week i noticed that something was wrong with my car. My car felt as though my tires were not turning properly and there was excessive noise coming from the rear of my car. I returned to the dealership and was told that nothing was wrong. On two additional occasions, i took my car back and was told again that nothing was wrong. The 3rd trip to the dealership, they said that i needed an alignment. This past weekend, i took my car to another place for the alignment and was told that i had a suspension problem, that all four tires were wearing unevenly and inappropriately. Researching the internet, i located numerous honda customers with the same exact problems. I found that honda has known of this problem since 2006 and not corrected the problem. Nor have they notified their customers. Honda released a tsb in april, 08 but still will not take responsibility for the damage that has been done to my car. They said that they will replace the suspension/control arms but will not replace the tires on my car. At 24,000 miles on my car and a new car warranty, i feel as though i,the consumer,am getting screwed in this deal. The public should be notified and a recall should be issued.
Excessive rear tire noise and wear.i have been informed there is a service bulletin on my rear upper control arms - they are not marked with a "c".(but see conditions under which i was informed, below.)i am having the new control arms installed on 9/2/12.(i had new rear tires put on, and an alignment performed, 8/28/12.)i spent approximately $500 on the tires/alignment.the estimate for the new control arms is approximately $350.i don't understand why i have to pay for this repair.i've noticed there are multiple complaints about excessive rear tire noise and wear (and subsequent need for rear upper control arm replacement) on honda civics of this vintage (2007).why is this only being treated as a "service bulletin" rather than a "recall".by the way, i wouldn't have even known about the problem if my husband wasn't concerned that the noise was a wheel bearing that was failing.i took it to honda to have them check out the wheel bearing and they blamed the noise on a broken tire belt.when i got home from the dealer i noticed the information on my invoice about the "service bulletin".they hadn't even mentioned it to me themselves!i have been a loyal honda driver for approximately 15 years.as a result of this issue, plus other things about the civic i'm just not crazy about, i will never again buy a honda product!
Rear control arms are defective and cause dangerously uneven tire wear.
I am now on my 3rd set of tires for the rear of this car.it keeps wearing the inner rear tires until the belt becomes exposed and heat up.there is a danger that if gone unnoticed that one of the tires will rupture causing a blowout and a high speed accident!
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the contact stated that the rear wheel bearing failed prematurely, causing the vehicle to move from side to side while driving.he also noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear end.the dealer had not been notified of the failure.the manufacturer was notified who provided no assistance. The contact replaced the rear bearings and the o ring.the current mileage was 49,000 and the failure mileage was 45,000.
Approximately a week after buying lifetime alignment and 4 new bridgestone potenza tires in july 2011 at firestone, el paso, tx, my car started to vibrate in the road while driving at speeds 50mph through 60mph.after many research and diagnosis from honda parts and service shop, different firestone locations and local mechanics, the conclusion is that the upper/rear control arms, front and rear camber arm and bolts are defective as per honda manufacturers.my tires are excessively and unevenly wearing.i have already bought 6 sets of new tires in the last 12 months because of this honda issue, which they admit it is a defect made by the manufacturers.they released a service bulletin (service bulletin 08-001 dated april 11, 2008) that informs honda dealer shop of this issue/defect, but they refuse to take responsibility of repairing it free of charge. I believe that it is not fair that customers buying hondas have to pay for defective parts made by the manufacturers.i would like these defect to be solved and paid by them and i would like refund for at least the last set of tires that i recently bought and are already unevenly worn out (this makes it a useless tire). In case it is needed i have all the paper work that can be a clear evidence to this complaint.like me, there are other honda owners with the same issue.
I have a new set of tires and i am surprise when you start moving it makes noise that seems coming from the wheels/tires and goes away when you slow down.it's more audible in the rear, i don't know if its the suspension or rear control arms that wear out during the years.
Replacing several sets of tires despite rotation and dealer maintenance.passenger side tires experiencing excessive wear. During service, dealer suggested replacement of upper rear control arms and 4 wheel alignment.took to non-honda mechanic for 4 wheel alignment, but mechanic said upper control arm assembly had excessive negative camber which could not be adjusted to proper setting.mechanic replaced with honda parts, but still could not adjust camher to correct 0 setting. Vehicle unable to set to proper specifications.found that issue appears to be the same as that detailed in honda service bulletin no.: 08-001, also detailed in nhtsa id number: 10024687.
Rapid tire wear occurred on the inner portions of both rear tires. The problem was discovered after noticing much road noise and having the tires rotated. Two new tires were purchased and the rear upper control arms were replaced. The problem still exists to this day after consulting two different honda garages they both confirmed that the rear control arms were installed correctly and are within spec. Both garages recommended replacing the tires again, but this is becoming very costly. The ride of the car over the last year has gotten significantly worse and now i'm noticing braking problems. The car hops in the back when applying the brakes at highway speeds. Honda is denying the problem and has offered no compensation.
I have purchased, in the last 5 years, 5 different sets of tires because of cupping' of my rear tires due to a defect in the rear suspension. I was told on 2 occasions by 2 different honda dealers that the problem in my rear suspension had been solved. The last service was 10 months ago; i purchased my fifth set of tires and now have to replace them again.
I've had this car since new and it absolutely eats tires in the rear.the tire wear is not adjustable and eventually leads to premature tire failure.i've had this happen to me 2 times on highway driving, where the tire has had a blowout.honda is aware of the issue with a design flaw in the rear control arms that causes the wear, but refuses to fix the problem. They have redesigned the control arm, but it does not fix the issue.it is just a matter of time before this design issue kills someone from a tire related failure.you can't see the problem because it's on the very inner most part of the tire.it isn't just that it makes the tire bald - there is severe cupping and the tire is more worn in some spots than others.so even if you visually inspect the tire, by getting on your hands and knees and putting your head under the car, you could miss where the tire is almost worn through, if the car is sitting on that part of the tire.this issue is very dangerous!it makes rotating the tires unadvisable because it ruins all 4 tires instead of just the rear two.it makes it so the performance of the tires is considerably less because parts of the tire are severly compromised.
I have less than 65,000 miles on my car.it has received regular scheduled maintenance from the honda dealership.after replacing the 4 original michelin tires @ 38,000 miles i have had to replace the rear tires 3 additional times.the car has an extremely loud "humming" noise coming from the rear end. It eats up the rear tires quickly, which cause the car to mishandle.each new set of rear tires wears out more quickly than the previous ones.i just bought the 4th new set of rear tires on 12/18/2011, drove down to the los angeles area from sacramento.when i returned, i went to the tire store where i purchased the new tires, to gage/check out any possible wear that may have occurred on the trip.at less than 1000 miles (850 of these being highway miles), the new rear tires were already down to 8/32.the humming noise is so loud you can not have a normal conversation in the car, or hear a siren for that matter and the steering appears to be/feel loose.i am afraid to drive this car any short/long distance.
The control arms on my vehicle are defective and were part of a service advisement. The issue is causing excessive tire wear and tire cupping. This is a serious issue which has the high potential to cause an accident and injuries. I am replacing my tires frequently due to the excessive wear and tear.i am angry that a recall has not been issued due to the seriousness of this matter. I will not let my teenagers drive this car, and am in fact reluctant to drive it myself (i work from home thank goodness).i am surprised a recall similar to the ford firestone has not been issued. I would like for you to contact me on this matter.
Popping noise while turning at 5,268 miles.replaced two tires at 19,785 miles.need a front end axle replacementat 31,839.diagnosed and adjusted torqued rear suspension noise at 60,136.replaced rear upper control arms 61,275.replaced shocks, and cv boots at 61,275.struts were making noise due to cupping.struts were replaced at 61,275.two new tires that were recently replaced were replaced again.both tires were feathered and making noise.vehicle is maintained in good condition and is following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendation.car was aligned as required by manufacturer.however, cupping or feathering of the tires still happened.when the rear control arm was not replaced yet, the rear noise was so loud and driving was bad.the tires felt flat and the shock absorber did not seem to be working.it is very hard to deal with both honda america and kolbe dealer.both companies tried to play ignorant of the issues although they knew it all along.i spent $1,419.11 for premature expenses.american honda blamed the premature damages to me.american honda nor kolbe honda did not notify me of the technical bulletins that were issued.also, just because there is a technical bulletin or corrective action does not mean that the problem will go away.design of the rear upper control arm must be reviewed again and tested for geometry with other parts of the vehicle.honda america should tightened its quality control and quality assurance so that its manufacturing facility will not release cars that have defective parts.honda knew very well that the rear upper control arms have design flawed starting with 2002 honda civic.why are they still using this design?is it because they manufactured so much of the wrong parts?the battery, and water pump pulley were replaced, updated 07/16/12
The front left suspension began to exhibit a metallic clunk noise when driving over bumps.the concern was that this problem would lead to a total failure of the front suspension system.a honda dealer assessed the cause to be a failed front suspension bumper stop, which has a honda service bulletin, number 07-078 (nhtsa number 10043607), dated march 2, 2012.this technical service bulletin was accomplished on the vehicle.
Rear tires are cupping and they've become very noisy after 5,000 miles. Problem first noticed: november 2011. The rear tires were always slippery in tight curves at normal speed.went to route 23 honda, nj for a check up on 02/16/12. They blamed my new tires (10000 miles old). Charged me $96.25 for a 4 wheel alignment, no problem found with the rear wheels. I have asked them about service bulletin 08-001 (uneven or rapid rear tire wear) but they did not admit any fault. They've said my car does not need a repair as per sb 08-001 mentioned above.i have contacted (opened account with) american honda motor co. They did not call back.
Excessive noise began to emanate from the rear tires .stability control from side to side became a problem. Excessive tire wear , specifically excessive inside cupping of rear tires continued.attempts to rectify the problem over the years by rotating tires, four wheel alignment, checking tire pressures were unsuccessful.recently installed upper rear control arms as recommended by dealer.totally solved the problem.all at my expense.a definite safety issue.all owners should be notified to prevent injuries.survey should be conducted to determine if any have occurred to date.honda should reimburse all expenses.updated 05/16/12
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated the rear end of the vehicle would sway back and forth while drivingvarious speeds. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was eventually taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the rear upper control arms were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Went to my local honda dealer because of heavy vibration while driving. Dealership informed me that i needed to replace my rear control upper arm because my tires were cupping badly. I have already replaced tires yearly because of uneven wear. I called corporate honda, since i am out of warranty they will not reimburse with parts and labor despite 2013 settlement regarding this matter. It is a safety issue regarding tire suspension and honda is turning a blind eye..
I have to replace the tires every 30000 miles due to uneven tire wear.i guess there is a known problem with a faulty rear arms that honda keeps ignoring after so many complaints.sure way to lose customers when you pride your self in quality but not delivering.
I got the car from my grandfather and it had about 20000 miles on it, after about putting 6000 miles on it myself i had to replace the tires and i always noticed the car was loud while driving and just figured it was normal and i guess i got used to it although anyone who rode in it would mention the load noise(like having mud tires on it). Well after about 5 sets of tires(the car now has 120,000 miles) i just now (2013) started looking into why the car has a loud noise and came across the service bulletin issue involving the rear suspension problems. I called corporate honda and they admitted they had defective parts on the civics and said i waited too late to complain!??? i even told her i didn't care about the $ i was out on all the tire sets i just wanted the issue fixed by them. She actually told me it was my responsibility to go to a honda dealership and read the service bulletins and it was my fault that i am having this problem. This has to be legally taken care of!
When i am traveling at speeds above 65mph my entire car vibrates/shutters/shimmy/shakes. It is felt in the steering wheel, and shifter, and the overall ride of the vehicle. It only occurs when i press the gas to accelerate. If i am traveling at 72mph and i release my foot from the gas the vibration does not go away 100%, but it's greatly reduced. At 32,000 my tires were completely bald and worn. I brought my car to honda who would not honor the warranty which expired at 30,000. I then took my car to a repair mechanic who told me the he could not fix the camber which was out of alignment. It was the cause of the excessive tire wear and so i bought new tires and had them mounted, aligned and balanced. Recently after having a 50,000 major service performed on my car by honda the problem came back. Had the right and left inner cv joints replaced and the vibration still persists.
The tire dealer says rear tires are wearing prematurely and rear control arms must be replaced or new tires installed today will also wear prematurely.rear tires are cupping.this causes terrible road noise and a rough ride. Honda issued a factory service bulletin to dealers in 2008 about the control arms having a design defect that causes tires to wear prematurely.however, they never informed their customers of this problem.i have burned through two sets of tires in 4 years and less than 80k miles.i just put the third set of tires on today. I only found out about the control arm problem by doing research on the internet.it appears several honda customers have had this problem on models 06-08.some have reported control arms snapping in half.since this problem took some time to diagnose, the warranty has expired.honda should be held responsible for this design flaw.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.while driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard a loud noise underneath the vehicle.he also noticed that the tires were tilted inward as if the alignment was incorrect.he took the vehicle to the dealer and they performed an alignment without his authorization and without having a zone representative inspect the vehicle to determine the cause of the failure.the vehicle is currently in the repair shop.the current mileage was 2,382 and failure mileage was 1,780.
I experienced asymmetrical cupping and rapid wear on my tires due to a defective rear upper control arm.this is a known problem for honda (they issued a technical service bulletin in 2008 regarding the issue and there was a class action lawsuit in 2013).since the deadline to file a claim with the class action suit has passed honda will not pay for the repair of this defective part.
Car is very unstable when subjected to crosswinds.steering corrections have to be constantly made to keep the car on course. This is extremely dangerous as overcorrections can happen.i notice other similar size cars i'm following on the highway in the same conditions are not nearly affected as i am.i purchased the car used with 60k miles back in 10/2010 and it has always been a problem.i had the rear upper suspension arms replaced (at my expense) with an aftermarket brand to correct the caster problemback into specification and the tires have been replaced but this has not made any difference in the way the car handles in side wind conditions.
The rear suspension and the rear upper control arm cause excessive and premature wear on tires requiring replacement of premium tires after only 20,000 miles or less. My car has about 80k miles and is in need of its 4th set of tires. Needles to say the wear create unsafe conditions while driving faster than 50mph making driving on the interstate a risky endeavor.
Rear tire wear to the belts.no adjustment of camber possible.owner has no way to prevent this dangerous and expensive wear.these vehicle should all be recalled and rear camber adjustable components installed regardless of vehicle miles.wear happens very quickly and is not shown at all on the front tires which have a fully adjustable suspension.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the vehicle had been through two sets of tires in less than 38,000 miles. The factory tires had to be replaced in 2009 because of premature wear. The dealer stated that there was a related tsb for the rear upper control arms; the vehicle was repaired and an alignment was performed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for premature wear again and the tires were replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000 and the current mileage was approximately 37,000.
Combination of the tires and the rear suspension geometry cause rapid or uneven tire wear?.it caused the car to have bad vibration, especially at highway speeds.
My rear lower control arms need to be be replaced with the correct ones stamped "c".honda dealersin southern california are refusing to correct the mistake at no cost to me. Please help!
Took my honda civic for schedule maintenance as usual, then i was told that car needed front axle repaired. My car has only 49, 159 miles.when searching online for similar cases, i found out this to be a known problem with the 2007 civic. The issue i have with honda is that why honda didn't recall the 2007 civic for due repair of the problem right after the problem was detected? i don't recall receiving any communication from america honda motors and/or any recommendation from the dealershipduring the last 5 1/2 years that i took my car for service.p.s. - car has not been involved in an accident (yet).
Car rear end moves from side to side in adverse conditions such as ice and snow even driving at what should be a safe speed.even on dry tar or concrete i notice something is not right.the tires wear unevenly on the rear. The 1st time i brought the car in on 12-13-07 at 5,622 miles the rear tires were shot and honda blamed it on me. Bulletin # 08-011 (rear upper control arm kit) was performed on 1-24-08 and seemed to help some.that didn't solve the problem because on 2-12-09 at 14,489 miles the tires were shot. After that tire replacement the car was aligned all around and so i thought maybe that would solve the problem. Since then i still noticed the rear end was still unstable and went in several times to get the problem resolved and each time they either blamed it on me or said there was no problem. Then on 1-12-2011 at 38,359 miles and another week at the hondashop i come to find out the tires are again worn badly on both rear inside edges. The only offer honda cooperation has made is to replace the tires with them only paying some of the cost but no permanent solution. The 3rd set of tires i put on were the best cooper tires and still had the problem so i know replacing the tires again will not solve the problem. I and my family feel unsafe in this car especially under certain conditions. More important to me then anything is the safety of my family and i hope honda will understand this and find a permanent solution before an accident happens at a result of this. Honda suggested trading the car in for something else but i can not pass this safety hazard on to another person and feel good about it.
Tire vibration started at 5,000 miles. Dealer rotated and balanced tires and said you are all set. Driving home on the highway noticed vibration was still present. Next visit took service for a ride and they said it sounded like bad rear wheel bearing that they did not stock. Left the car for two days and when i came pick the car up they said we changed the right front wheel bearing? i said i was told they were changing the rears? they said nope the right front was the problem.driving at highway speed it was the same as before. Called the dealer and asked if anyone actually test drove the car after repair. Mechanic said the car was fine?brought the car back again and took the service manager for a ride he said yes it sounds like rear wheelbearings. Left the car again for two days and when i picked up the car they said they changed the rear wheel bearings and a recall that came in for the rear abs sensor and seals. Driving home same vibration.also a rattle coming from the right side dash area was never fixed in four tries.i now have 34,000 milesand the tires are completely worn out and this wouldsuggest that their is a severe suspension problems with the 2007 civic lx. Dealer has no clue. Please read all the complaints on tire wear and if you are thinking honda think again.
This is a notification of a defect before it becomes a failure which causes accident or loss of life.i have repeatedly returned my 2007 honda civic si sedan for service (4 times) for a defect in the front suspension which could cause strut failure.the problem is unresolved.internet research indicates many other owners (2006-07 model year) with the same problem.the consumer stated battery is dead if vehicle is not run for 5 or more days updated 12/12/07
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving under 20 mph the vehicle made a rattling sound on the front passenger side. The failure also occurred when the vehicle was making a right or left turn. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who replaced the front axle but that has not remedied the failure. The dealer could not determine what caused the noise which made it impossible for them to repair the vehicle. The contact stated that something was very wrong with the vehicle and fears that a crash could occur. The failure mileage was 48,000.
Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission.i patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution.honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably caused by my driving, the problem with the vehicle going into third gear is a known problem and there is a technical service bulletin that honda corporate has released for the exact problem.the headliner rattles, door gasket seal has been coming off since purchase, suspension popping noise in the front passenger side strut since purchase and the sound has become more frequent, the driver side visor was defective and was replaced, the driver door hits the fender when opening just started happening since honda worked on my vehicle.i have been taking my vehicle to two different dealerships (recommended by honda corporate) and nothing has been properly repaired.i feel as though i have been given the run around for the past year.honda has made several attempts to repair the problems and has not been able to, they have only damaged my vehicle during their attempts to repair it.they have damaged the front bumper three times, the side of the vehicle once, the door and fender once.they of course denied any involvement in the damage, then repair it under warranty.
I returned my 2007 civic coupe for its initial service, and notified the dealer that i was hearing a loud popping noise from the front driver's side strut area.they replaced both front strut assemblies, but the front left assembly continues to make the same loud popping noise.i asked them to inspect it for the b1 service, but they could not duplicate the sound.yet, as i drove out of the lot, 'pop.'i'm not happy with this, but i am not getting satisfactory attention for this problem.
Transmission for 2007 honda civic si seem to not want to engage 3rd gear especially when cold.multiple occasions.seem to have something blocking the shifter and it will grind the gear or pop out. Popping noise from front driver side suspension also have been experience on the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the rear of the vehicle vibrated at various speeds.the vehicle was taken to a mechanic for an oil change and the rear suspension was inspected.the mechanic noticed that the tires had uneven wearing and advised the contact to go to the dealer.the dealer stated that the control arms and all four tires needed to be replaced.the dealer will cover the cost for the replacement of the control arms, but not the tires.the failure mileage was 19,660 and current mileage was 19,860.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact was driving 65 mph when the vehicle began to shake abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer yet the dealer was unable to locate a failure. The vehicle was then taken to a local tire facility where the contact was advised that the vehicle needed two new tires. The tires were not replaced. The vehicle was taken to a different dealer for a third opinion. The dealer advised that the upper control arms were defective which was causing the tires to wear prematurely. The upper control arms were repaired under factory warranty. The dealer advised that they were not responsible for the worn tires. The failure mileage was 30,000 was and the current mileage was 44,623.
Uneven tire wear. Vibrations noticed at 15k miles. Dealership reports tsb exists and offers to replace upper control arms which are wearing tires un-evenly. Honda refuses to pay for damage to tires. Customer service at american honda is worst i've ever come in contact with.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and all four tires were replaced. Shortly afterwards she had all four tires rotated. After the tires were rotated she had to have a new set of tires installed. She notices a peculiar noise coming from the wheel bearings. She was in the process of having the vehicle inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000. The current mileage was 65,000.
Unsafe handling.the rear of the car abnormally "darts" laterally when going over concrete expansion joints, potholes or similar road imperfections.this momentary "darting" - or inability of the rear suspension to track correctly - is more pronounced when cornering, especially at highway speeds.i experienced a spin-out (fortunately, no collision) on a wet road at 45-50mph due to overcorrection for this "darting" condition.in conjunction with poor rear suspension handling, accelerated and excessive inner rear tire wear is experienced.effectively shortening the lifespan of a 35,000 to 50,000 mile tire by at least half, if not more.it is even more excessive and accelerated if the tires are not rotated.after my spin-out, i started researching 2007 civic handling / tire-wear on-line and it appears many, many 2006-2007 civic owners have one or both of these conditions and that honda is aware, but not willing to recall this unsafe rear upper control arm design/manufacturing flaw.
We noticed our 2007 civic vibrating badly in late 07. On a long trip, the rear tire blistered and shredded; the tire was replaced. All in all, between december 2007 and june 2009, we had two alignments and put on 4 new rear tires due to uneven tread wear on the tires. After some research, we found out about the bad rear control arms on the vehicle. Many driver's are experiencing this problem. My husband took the car to a local honda service center where we were told that it was not under warranty anymore due to mileage (it's a commuter car so we put on a lot of miles pretty quickly) and since it was not recalled for the control arm, just a service bulletin issued )service bulletin 08-001 issued in february 2008), that we would be financially responsible for everything regarding the repair. We have spent an estimated $1200 in repairs. This is a huge safety concern and should definitely be investigated further. Honda is not taking any responsibility for the faulty control arms that were installed on these vehicles.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 60mph, the front end was shaking. An independent mechanic rotated the front passenger and driver tires to the rear and stated that the rear control arm failed and caused excessive wear on the tires. The dealer agreed with the diagnosis and replaced the rear tires at no cost to the owner. The dealer advised the contact that they dont know when the parts will be available to repair the rear control arms; however, they would notify him of the availability. The dealer also failed to replace the front tires. The failure mileage was 14,845 and the current mileage was 15,000.
The rear upper control arms on both sides of my 2007 honda civic coupe were defective. This caused both rear tires to become badly "cupped" and caused excessive road noise. My personal safety was placed in danger as these rear tires could have failed at any time possibly causing an accident. This vehicle only has 23,000 miles on it. Honda is aware of this problem, but has not initiated a recall. Research online shows this problem to be extremely common.
Rear shock of honda 2007 honda civic failed. Brought the car in for service. Informed that failure was possible due to issues with the rear suspension control arm( tsa# 10024687). Rear tires showed excessive wear and needed to be replaced as a result of the suspension issues. The car was still under the bumper to bumper warranty yet honda would only cover 50% of the cost of replacing the tires. They covered full cost of replacing the control arm.
Honda installed "out of tolerance" upper control arms (rear) on all 2006, 2007, and possibly some 2008 honda civics which causes abnormal tire wear on the rear (cupping).i purchased 2007 civic and brought the problem to the dealers attention at ~6000 miles.at this time honda had not issued a tsb (technical service bulletin) and i ended up having to replace my original tires.shortly afterwards, i noticed the same kind of tire wear problem...researched (on my own) and found that honda had issued tsb...001 (first tsb of year 2008) i believe in february of 2008 (problem had started in 2005 with initial delivery of 2006 model civics)i've spent almost $1,400 in replacing tires, countless hours on the phone with dealerships, and honda america...finally have my car fixed (almost 6 months after i found out about the problem) and have not been compensated...i've had a case open with honda america since february 2008.
I purchased a brand new honda civic 2007 and within 2 years (~25k-26k miles) the rear tires started vibrating loudly. When i took it to the servicing center i was told that there is a problem with the rear control arms which can cause uneven or premature tire wear in all 2006-2007 civics, except for thesi. While the problem developed over a few months i was in warranty but when it was diagnosed and i went in for a claim honda said i was out of warranty so they would replace the parts for free but i would have to pay for labor and would get no reimbursement for the totally chopped tires. This is a very wide-spread problem (online honda/civic forums are full of complaints)which i believe poses a grave road safety problem and danger to the lives of owners who could get into accidents due to bad tires, if not diagnosed on time. Honda has been shunning its responsibility by not sending out a recall and addressing this problem with due diligence. I urge you to take this matter up with honda and ensure that the thousands of affected civic owners get complete paid repairs and assurance from honda.
2007 honda civic 4dr ex rear upper control arms causing premature tire wear.this is causing loud tire noise and unsafe driving conditions because of the excessive wear.
I began to hear a noise coming from the right rear of the car in april 2011.over time the noise progressively became worse.i recently noticed that the right rear tire has been wearing improperly.i checked online to see if anyone else had this issue. While researching the problem, every honda civic webpage and forum that i went to was filled with this particular problem (right rear control arm causing rapid wear of the tires).i found that honda had even sent out a service bulletin on 2-8-08 regarding this issue.i figured with this many complaints, there must have been a recall notice that i did not receive.in july 2011 i brought my civic to majestic honda of rhode island to have my vehicle checked and asked if there had been a recall.i was told that there was no recall but they did confirm the problem after performing a diagnostic which cost me $111.02.mycivic needed a new control arm, 4 new tires, and an alignment. These repairs would cost an additional $1066.75 or more plus tax.i explained to them that, had honda just sent out a service notice to its customers when they first noticed that there was a control arm issue, we could have addressed the issue for only $455.00 -- the cost of a control arm and an alignment.my speech fell upon deaf ears.i could tell by their demeanor that they had heard my story before and did not care at all.all i got was, "we're not responsible; contact honda america." after writing to you, i will be contacting honda america.
Had to replace tires due to uneven tire wear on the inside tread after 22,000 miles..hadthe rear upper control arms replaces as well.purchased pirelli tires rated for 85,000 miles.problem is back again at 27,000 miles on the tires and 65,000 miles on car.seems like this car goes through tires every 20-25,000 miles.honda needs to address this problem.
Excessive and premature rear tire wear due to defective rear upper control arms.
I own a 07 honda civic that has a major factory problem with the rear control arm. The vehicle can't stay aligned and is a part the have to be replace. Honda had a service bulletin for this safety problem but we i took the car to the dealer, theydo not cover it under warranty on a cpo vehicle. I checked on the internet and a lot of owners are having the same safety issue. Honda should do a recall and offer to replace this defective part. The vehicle bounce while you are driving and the noise is real bad. Hopefully other owners have contacted you with the same issue and concern.
Uneven tire wear caused by rear suspension problems.i am now on my 4th set of tires for my 2007 honda civic lx sedan with 58,000 miles.each time i have replaced the tires, i thought the wear was tire related.6-11-08, i learned from the honda dealer, the problems was because of a defective rear suspension.honda (the mfg.) has declined to assist with the payment for any of the tires.someone is going to have a bad accident because of this problem and possibly severe injuries.
Noticed rough ride and noise from back of car.on inspecting, can see where the tread is separating from the tire.took car to local firestone dealership and was told they have had 8 2007 honda civics with the same problem recently.they stated this is a known problem at honda.dealership is giving me the run-around.oh yes, car has 24k miles and was purchased new.
I purchased a 2007 honda civic hybrid on april 16,2009 w/ 21k miles. The pre purchase inspection by an independent "honda specialist" was done in my presence and no problems were noted. My long time specialist mechanic even stated "that is the first prepurchase i've ever done where i couldn't find anything wrong even the tires match and have worn evenly. Two months to the day and 3k miles later (24,365) i went to the dealership to have the oil changed and tires rotated i was told three tires were showing wear on the inside. I did not believe the dealer and drove off on a sat. Knowing they were fine 3k miles ago. I checked the tires closely on monday (after driving 40 miles to work) and found them to be showing thread on 3 tires. Further research showed a tsb 008-001(rear control arms out of spec) that addresses this problem although it was never mentioned to me by the dealer. I could have easily killed myself or someone else. This should be a recall item due to how fast the tires can wear from safe to very dangerous. 90% of the tire tread looked very good but the inside 10 % which cannot be seen without getting on your hand and knees was extremely worn.
I was experiencing loud road noise from the trunk area as well as uneven tire wear on both rear tires.this vehicle has 36250 miles on it.i have had the vehicle to my mechanic to determine the cause of the noise and tire wear.they were unable to find a root cause.after doing research i found that honda is aware of this problem on the civic, but they have not notified owners of the potential for high-cost repairs and new tires.
Uneven tread wear on the rear tires from the inside. High and low spots on tire the second time that this has happened.

Defective rear upper control arms on the 2006 - 2007 honda civics.honda chose to withhold this information from consumers and only to issue a service bulletin to dealerships.this issues causes your car to go out of alignment and your tires to have an irregular wear pattern.this is an issue that creates an excessive amount of noise from your tires and may impede your ability to stop and to turn.this can be dangerous and expensive, at it can also cause premature wear to your suspension system.honda's decision to deliberately withhold this information from consumers puts consumers at risk when it is left to the dealership to be the ones to determine which cars are involved/affected.this is not just an isolated incident where only a few cars have been affected and numerous consumers have had their tires ruined due to this defect. Http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2225229my tires are 60,000 mileall season tires that have been completely destroyed at 24,000 miles.they are extremely loud and although the tread depth is exactly the same on all four tires. Because i rotate the tires every 4,000 miles, no one at honda ever determined that my car was one of the ones that had the defect.i believe that honda did not want to have to issue a recall because they did not want to put out the expense to do so and felt they would deal with consumers on a case by case basis.i have had the problem corrected and have had the service manager drive my car, subsequent to the repair.he does not dispute the fact that the tires are loud and that the damage to the tires was done specifically due to the defect.however, honda is still refusing to replace my tires.i do not feel comfortable driving my family on tires that have been ruined soley because of this defect and feel that honda needs to not only issue a safety recall for the defect but also needs to be responsible for replacing the tires that have been damaged due to the defect!
Certain 2006 and 2007 honda civics were produced with improperly spec'ed rear upper control arms resulting in significant damaged to the rear tires (cupping).honda issued two tsb's but only acts on the problem once the tire damage is pronounced.cupped tires effect braking, handling, and in extreme cases, tire failure.i own an 06 and 07, all dealer maintained, and of the four dealers i and my daughter have dealt with, only one brought the problem to my attention once my tires were cupped and i complained of a vibration in my suspension. The rear upper control arms were replaced but i will have to replace the tires at my expense.individuals who do not properly service their civics are at risk of poor handling, tire failure and accidents due to cupped and failed tires.the internet is replete with complaints on this problem.this is a serious problem that has been kept under the radar by honda even with the potential risks to the public.a recall should be made!
Excessive tire wear on 2007 honda civic hybrid.during routine service at 25,000 miles at honda dealer, i was advised that the tires needed replacing due to wear.i complained because these were supposed to be 60,000 mile tires.when i kept complaining and refusing to have them replaced with the same brand of tire (bridgestone), i was finally advised that the rear upper control arms were bad and had caused the excessive wear.the control arms were replaced under warranty and i received a partial credit on the new tires.i later researched the problem on the internet and observed that there was a service bulletin on this very same problem.it is worth the money ($26.00) to pay to have access to these bulletins.i have since discovered another service bulletin problem that affected my car and had it repaired.it was an sluggish acceleration problem with the civic hybrids.
2007 honda civic hybrid has damaged tires. Consumer states that the tires are damaged due to defective part on car. Would like know why honda won't replace the tires. *njthe consumer stated there was a vibration coming from the rear of the vehicle.

I have a 2007 honda civic that i bought new. I have had it serviced regularly, and each time i have told the dealer that i hear a loud noise in the rear. They have repeatedly told me that the noise is normal for my model and tires. The noise became so bad that i insisted they do something. They now say that the rear upper control arms must be replaced and that the car must be aligned and that my tires are ruined. The damage to the tires has caused a serious safety condition. They replaced the rear control arms, but i still have the bad tires. The car is still under warranty. This is a serious and dangerous defect. There should be a recall.
Rear control arms defective causing flat spots in rear tires.problem reported to dealer at 35,xxx miles.control arms replaced under warranty.tires were not covered due to mileage even though problem was caused by defective components.
Honda civic - 2007 hybrid - needs new "control arms" as the tires are unsafe to drive - apparently this is happening a lot, i'm surprised there is not a recall yet.i've got 70k miles and finishing my 2nd set of rear tires already - they refuse to correct at no cost, even though they've even put out a "service bulletin".
Rear tire noise and vibration from 25,000 miles on.visual inspection shows flat spots on both rear tires.took in for service and honda service related that there was an updated version of the rear suspension control arm which they replaced for free.however they were not willing to replace or even prorate tire wear stating that 30k miles warranted no replacement.front tires show no wear at all.the tires have worn to a unsafe level and honda has known about this service related problem for months.i have not received any notification from honda on recalls or service bulletins. Serious safety issue.
This complaint concerns the defect on the honda 2006-2007 civic of the rear upper control arms.i had mine replaced after only 15 months of use because they were incorrectly manufactured, causing loud vibrations at normal highway driving speeds.this defect also caused excessive and not normal ware on my tires causing me to have to replace them at my own expense instead of on honda's dollar as they wore down due to a honda related issue.
Rear control arm need to be replaced. This is a safety issue that honda for some reason doesn't want to do a recall on. This problem has made my tires wear faster than usual. Honda is offering very little towards replacing my tires. I have 17,000 miles on my car. My part was ordered a week ago and still waiting for it to come in. This is covered under warranty. I feel honda should put new tires on my leased car. This is a safety issue and i worry about my long distance driving. Is this part going to break and have my tires fall off???? i have filed a complainant with honda. I think honda should stand behind their product and replace the tires.

Excessive tire wear and loud noise from rear of vehicle. We have replaced two sets of tires, once at 11,000 miles and at 36,000 miles and they are again worn at 58,461 miles. We learned of a service bulletin, service bulletin number : 08-001 date of bulletin : feb 08, 2008, issued by honda and after much complaining since we were a few hundred miles past the 3 year 36,000 mile mark the dealer made the repairs and aligned the car. We have rotated the tires regularly and the loud noise is back as well as excessive tire wear. I find it ridiculous to have to replace tires like this because the tire warranty is void because the tread in one section is beyond the limit for replacement. The honda dealer is claiming we have not rotated the tires enough/properly which seems to be a common excuse for others complaining about the problem to honda.
This complaint is related to one filed previously.there are 4 states that required manufactures to notify all owners and leasees of technical service bulletins or motor vehicle warranty adjustment programs.theses states include: california, connecticut, virginia, and wisconsin.see: http://www.autosafety.org/article.php?did=721.i am a california resident and i never received notice of tsb: 08-001 nor any of the other 8 tsbs.

Experienced uneven tire wear on rear tires.appears to be related to the upper control arms and the service bulletin 08-001.symptoms include rough ride as if tires are out of balance.oem dunlop tires were routinely rotated and balanced and still required replacement at 32k.new tires with 15k are showing same issues, cupping of inner tread edge.at speeds of 50-60 mph, shake was so evident that i was concerned about handling ability.changed upper control arms and tires with minor improvement.

I have a 2007 honda civic hybrid.i have had all scheduled maintenance completed at an authorized honda dealer.i have had a continual problem with wheel alignment/tire wear issues.the first set of tires (dunlops) lasted just a little over 30,000 miles despite regular rotation. When replaced, large patches of cord were visible. The next set (michelins) has nearly 20,000 miles on them, and are also showing uneven tire wear despite regular tire rotations.the upper control arms in the rear were replaced 10,000 miles ago and the alignment was checked on all four wheels at that time.i drive very conservatively, with nearly 95% of my driving freeway driving at or below posted speed limits. I believe like others that this is a design flaw. It can be serious if tires are not checked on a regular basis.
2007 honda civic hybrid - the oem rear suspension geometry wears the inner edge of the tires extremely quickly.honda issued a service bulletin (08-001) identifying and correcting the problem with replacement upper control arms.the dealer/honda refuses to cover parts/labor charges for correction on a car that is not under warranty anymore.this is clearly a design defect that impacts safety and i believe the manufacturer should correct it at their expense.
Purchased the car new at local dealer.the rear tires exhibit excessive wear prematurely.the original set of tires was replaced at approximately 35,000 miles.the second set (75,000 mile tires) wore out after 30,000 miles (65,000 miles on the odometer).our third set of tires (also, 75,000 mile tires) are now worn out with the odometer reading of 97,000 miles.just discovered that a tsb has been issued for replacement of rear control arms.have not pursued that route yet.

Uneven tire wear on a 2007 honda civic hybrid.
Rear suspension, severe vibration at highway speeds (65-70mph) causing uneven wear on rear tires.
The rear upper control arms on 2006-07 honda civics were defective, causing severe tire wear that sent me toward my third set of tires after 60,000 miles. The tires "cupped" and caused loud road noise. Upon initial approach, honda dealer same swope in louisville, ky., failed to fix saying the car was out of warranty.
Tire noise started develop months ago, and got worse on honda civic 2007 with less than 8000 miles. Today, honda s/b 08-001 was done, but tires are not replaced. All four tires have quite noticeable cupping, especially rear inside. Since i drive carefully to achieve 49mpg avg i got on this hybrid on suburban blvds, i believe honda needs to replace tires at their cost as well without prorated schedule mentioned on the s/b.

Shortly after the vehicle warranty expired, we began to notice a loud humming sound coming from the rear wheels which steadily got worse.also, we experienced extreme lack of control over the car during icy conditions.we discovered that the humming sound was coming from rear tires that were severely cupped.it was necessary to purchase new back tires, get the front and back aligned, and purchase and have installed, a stabilizer bar.we understand that this is a common defect in this model and year of car.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The rear suspension caused the vehicle to vibrate, make noise and the tires to become uneven. A mechanic stated that the failure was caused by the struts suspension which was also associated with the rear axle. The dealer stated that they were only able to repair the suspension if the replaced two tires and aligned them. The contact stated that he should not be required to purchase tires since the struts and rear axle caused the failure. Service bulletin# 08-0001 dated february 2009 is related to the rear suspension and directly related to the failure. The bulletin also indicated that the dealer had to install a rear upper control arm kit, replace the fan bolts and the worn tires. The manufacturer has not been notified. The failure mileage was 19,098.the dealer replaced the upper control arm kit, but when the consumer asked the dealer if a 4-wheel alignment had been done, their reply was the tires were so badly worn and alignment could not be performed unless two tires were purchased for the rear. The consumer stated he should not be required be required to purchase the upper control arms for the rear axle caused by the badly worn tires. The service bulletin stated the worn tires were to be replaced along with other parts. The manner in which the tire replacement was handled by the dealer gave the contact only two options; drive away in a very unsafe vehicle without completion of the work or pay whatever the dealer asked for the tires so the work specified by the service bulletin could be completed. With limited options, the consumer paid for new tires. The manufacturer was notified on sept 21, 2009 via priority mail. Updated 10/22/09

Rapid and uneven tire wear within 5k miles. Wears down to belt and becomes very unsafe to drive. Have had to buy three sets of tires. Rotate tires every 3000 miles. Honda admits to installing faulty rear upper control arms but refuses to replace them unless i pay for them. If a part is bad from the factory why is the customer responsible.
Right rear tire wears incorrectly, cupping or scalloping occurs, appears to be to much negative camber.the cupping creates "wobbling" or road noise.
2007 honda civic with 20,000 miles was making a loud noise on the highway.sound was coming from rear of car.took car to dealer and recommendation was made to replace rear control arms.repairs could not be done on a timely manner because dealership will not be able to get parts for several days.problem has likely resulted in uneven tire ware, which may cause handling difficulties and possibly a crash, but dealer wanted us to drive the car home under these conditions.after insisting, we were given a loaner car.
I purchased a 2007 honda civic from autofair honda of manchester nh and have had all oil changes and tire rotation services done with their service department. I have over 39,000 miles on the car. The autofair service department never once informed me about a honda bulletin regarding the civic's rear suspension causing rear tires to go bald, which mine did. During my last tire rotation on april 14, they did not notify me that my tread was going bare. On july 4, i discovered that my back tires were bare after realizing that they were making considerable noise while riding on the highway.i purchased new tires the following monday from a local tire store. During my online search for new tires i found out that other civic car owners had similar problems due to a rear suspension fault with honda civics. I then made an appointment with autofair to have them check this issue on july 13. The service department then informed me that their was an issue and needed to be repaired. Because my warranty has expired, i had to pay autofair to fix this issue. They put in the following part: 1 04523-sna-a01 set, upper arm rr. I'm upset that they did not inform me about this issue sooner. We've had a very wet june and my tires were not safe for driving in such conditions.other people at the autofair service department waiting room have said they've had the same problem.

Facsimile from congressman jack kingston on behalf of constituent, who isseeking assistance regarding problems he is experiencing with the rear swing arms of his 2007 honda civic. *njthe consumer heard a loud tire noise and noticed the rear tires were tilted inward, indicating the alignment was incorrect. All four tires were worn and needed to be replaced. It was the swing arms that were designed improperly that caused the tires to wear excessively.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated the rear tires were abnormally pointed inward and causing the tires to wear down unevenly and prematurely. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told they would have to replace the tire arm for both rear wheels. The contact feels the failure was a manufacturers defect because of how the vehicle was designed. The failure and current mileage was 77,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic ex coupe. While driving 55 mph the contact noticed that the rear end of the vehicle began to vibrate excessively. When the vehicle was examined he noticed that the rear tires were worn on the inside. He contact the dealer and was advised that they would assist him with the cost of replacing the tires. He located a technical service bulletin that identified the rear tire failure was due to a defective rear suspension geometry. The vehicle will be repaired by the dealer. The manufacturer will be notified. The current mileage was 14,391. The failure mileage was 14,900.
A friend mentioned his 07 civic was shaking. He did not know what to do about it, so i looked it up. This needs to be a honda " recall" because people are having to pay big money for tires, alignments etc. For honda's ~~ known ~~ problem.2007 honda civic rear suspension complaints (control arm failures) many (76) complaints of this here:http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2007/honda/civic/rear+suspension"the result is because of rear control arms on this vehicle being manufactured too small causing a negative camber of the rear wheels and causing premature and uneven tire wear of the inner half of the tires. This has been an issue for over 2 years now increasing over time and was never recalled by honda but simply issued to dealerships under service bulletin 08-001 which was never carried out during regular service of the vehicle at the dealership."
Reference honda tsb 08-001.incorrect/defective upper rear control arms installed during manufacture of vehicle leading to excessive wear on rear tires.this leads to excessive noise/vibration from rear and also possiblyaffects control/handling of vehicle.
In 2008 i noted that the tires of our 2007 honda civic were wearing unevenly.i discovered this when i rotated the rear tires to the front after about 25,000 miles and it just roared.we took it to the honda dealer and were told that there was a problem with the upper rear control arms and they would replace them and prorate the rear tires.at that time i elected to replace all four tires and assumed that honda had fixed the defect.after 25,000 miles, the roar is back and i again have cupped tires on the rear.this is a safety issue, as eventually this suspension defect could lead to either tire failure and/or loss of control while driving.honda is aware of this problem (service bulletin 08-001) but told us when we returned to the dealer that it was an alignment issue.while poor alignment can lead to cupped tires, i have been searching bulletin boards on the internet and see that this is a common problem and that others are still experiencing tire wear that results in cupped tires after the 15,000 to 25,000 miles on tires that are supposed to last 60,000 to 75,000 miles.my daughter drives this car to and from college and has not had a major failure yet.however, it is obvious to me that had i not recently ridden in the car and heard the problem that she would have continued to drive it, unaware that she may be heading for a catastrophic tire failure due to this design failure.specifically, it appears that 2007 honda civic rear ends will "drag" the rear tires down the road if the there are rear passengers or cargo.in other words, the suspension is incorrectly designed and rear tires do not track correctly when the car hasload in the rear or trunk.i believe that this should be investigated before there is a rash of tire failures due to this design flaw.
The rear suspension / upper rear control arms are defective leading to excessive negative rear camber. This caused rapid tire wear to the inside edges and a potential safety issue in wet conditions.honda has issued a tsb (08-001) that covers this problem however they have excluded the si model in their tsb. I requested and received and parts diagram showing the faulty upper control arms on the cars covered by tsb 08-001 carry the exact same part number as those on the si model that is excluded.later year model si cars have a new design upper control arm to correct this problem. My dealer said that honda will not cover my car under this tsb although the problem and parts are identical.
We bought a 2007honda civic exnew. The tires wear out fast and i found out the wrong rear suspension parts are installed . The dealer wants over 300 dollars to install the correct rear control arms. I have googled this problem and found that there are hundreds of civic owners that are facing the same problem and are getting nowhere with honda. What does it take to get a car company to stand behind its product?
After 14,000 miles automobile failed state inspection due to tire wear.was told that the rear upper arms needed to be replaced. Called honda and they said they would cover the replacement arms under warranty, but would not do anything about the tires.even though the abnormal wear was do to the rear upper arms.
My 2007 honda civic gets uneven rear tire wear referred to as cupping with an accompanying vibration and noise. Honda has issued a service bulletin, 08-001 regarding this problem and the corrective action required to fix it. They denied that my vehicle had this problem and would not pay for any corrective action.
Noticed uneven tire wear and vibration on my honda civic hybrid, and notified honda service about this issue when i brought in the car for oil change. The service department looked at the car and said that the rear tires were worn, and this was due to rear suspension problem. Honda would cover the cost of that fix, but i also needed four new tires -- not covered by honda. He offered to move the rear tires up front and just focus on the rear ($280 for two tires). After researching the issue and finding that there was a service bulletin issued last spring, i declined to have two worn tires with evidence of cupping put on the front of a front wheel drive car. I asked why i hadn't been notified of this design flaw when i had brought in the car for a pre-roadtrip check in july (he said if i did not tell him to look for rear tire wear they wouldn't look) or why he didn't note it two weeks later when i brought the car in because the a/c had failed on the trip (another known defect, i now realize). The car also seems to have an electric switching irregularity, which has yet to be diagnosed. The service rep said unless i specifically ask, they wouldn't have looked for the rear suspension issue-- even though there had been a service bulletin -- because "not every civic has the problem."i cannot imagine that at 15,600 miles (where it was in july) that the tires did not then have signs of uneven wear that now has necessitated tire replacement at 19,000 miles. I replaced two tires, one of which honda covered. We have issued a complaint with honda to cover the cost of two other new tires, which they said would be resolved within three working days.
Excessive vibration where it feels like the back end of the car is jumping up and down. Also has extremely loud tire noise. Tires have excessive wear.dealer said i just need new tires, and when searching for new tires on internet, i discovered that others have this problem.
There is excessive wear of rear tires on the civic.tires are bald after less than 5,000 miles, while the front look brand new.honda says no problem, but they need to address rear tire wear.have had 4 wheel alignment and still the tires are bald after too few of miles.makes no sense on a front wheel drive car.this car is dangerous.
2007 honda civic si sedan, the rear suspension is defective causing premature tire wear, in less than 30,000 miles i had gone through two sets of tires, and two rear bearings. Rear bearings were replaced under warranty, but i paid for the tires. The dealer refuses to replace the rear control arms, which means that the brand new tires will also wear prematurely, and possiblyanother set of rear bearings...
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic lx. The contact stated that the rear upper control arm failed and caused uneven tire wear. All four tires had to be replaced and two alignments were performed. However, the failure continued. The dealer told the contact to call the manufacturer who offered no assistance as the warranty had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.
I have a 2007 honda civic that i bought new. I have had it serviced regularly, and each time i have told the dealer that i hear a loud noise in the rear. They have repeatedly told me that the noise is normal for my model and tires. The noise became so bad that i insisted they do something. They now say that the rear upper control arms must be replaced and that the car must be aligned and that my tires are ruined. The damage to the tires has caused a serious safety condition. They replaced the rear control arms, but i still have the bad tires. The car is still under warranty. This is a serious and dangerous defect. There should be a recall.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 50 mph the contact heard a loud noise in the rear end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact had the rear upper control arms replaced on the vehicle. There were no prior warnings. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
Small vibration heard in the rear of the car.took car in for routine maintenance, told them of sound coming from the rear of car.they informed us that there was a service bulletin on the car, advising them to replace the upper control arms and tires.parts were on back order.reported on 5/22, today is 6/9, part still not replaced.honda refusing to replace tires, even though defective part caused rear tire to ware unevenly and rapidly.fear this is a safety issue and am concerned about driving on the highway.
I recently purchased a used 2007 honda civic, and noticed on my first drive at highway speeds that the rear tires made quite a bit of noise.upon inspection by a local mechanic, he determined that the tires were cupped and unusually worn for a car with only 18,000 miles on the odometer.i had the tires replaced.since that time i have researched the issue and found that there is a rear suspension control arm service bulletin from honda regarding this problem, but no official recall.i will contact my local dealer regarding this service bulletin, but since i had the tires replaced i'm worried that they will not see a "problem" and will not fix the issue.i feel that there is enough evidence for the nhtsa to force honda to issue a recall on this, as the uneven and rapid tire wear is an expensive and potentially deadly situation caused by honda's mistake.
Defectiveupper control arms causing rear tires to worn out too soon, vip honda in nj and honda america are not willing to replace tires free of charge, car only has 25,000 miles still under manufacturers warranty.hundreds of similar complaints from honda civic owners. Help!!!
I was experiencing excessive tire noise from the rear of my 2007 civic lx coupe.i also felt a slight shimmy coming from the rear of the car.i had the tires rotated and immediately began hearing a much more pronounced hum/vibration noise coming from the front of the car.additionally, there was very perceivable shimmy on the steering wheel between 50 and 60 mph.i concluded that whatever was wrong in the back of the car was now transferred to the front and it had to be tires.i took the vehicle to my local honda dealer and they confirmed that flat spots had developed on the front tires (which had been on the rear until the day before).these flat spots were the cause of the vibration/hum.they also informed me that honda does not warranty tires.the dealer said i needed to replace both front tires and that i should also allow them to replace the rear control arm as a warranty repair.the dealer never actually said that the original factory rear control arms lead to my premature tire wear.they only said that honda was advising customers to have them replaced as a warranty repair.i had to pay for two replacement tires and labor - about $280.
Excessive noise began to emanate from the rear tires .stability control from side to side became a problem. Excessive tire wear , specifically excessive inside cupping of rear tires continued.attempts to rectify the problem over the years by rotating tires, four wheel alignment, checking tire pressures were unsuccessful.recently installed upper rear control arms as recommended by dealer.totally solved the problem.all at my expense.a definite safety issue.all owners should be notified to prevent injuries.survey should be conducted to determine if any have occurred to date.honda should reimburse all expenses.updated 05/16/12
2007 honda civic hybrid very rapid inside edge tire wear.at 21k we need 3rd set of tires for loud excessivenoise at 25-65 mph and even slow turning . Have had our honda dealer install the new "c"marked control arms and alignment done also at 13k.honda rep looked at car today with 21k said all is ok and is to honda specs.thisis not my idea of a car that is made correctly or in anyone's spec's anywhere in the real automotive world ! really 3 sets of tires in 21k miles "normal" that takesalot of ignorance on honda's part. A stressful waiting game for the tire's to blow out, heaven knows you will not hear tires go with all the noise from them.just hope were able to control car and no one gets hurt.
I purchased a new 2007 honda civic ex coupe from the local honda dealership. Within a week i noticed that something was wrong with my car. My car felt as though my tires were not turning properly and there was excessive noise coming from the rear of my car. I returned to the dealership and was told that nothing was wrong. On two additional occasions, i took my car back and was told again that nothing was wrong. The 3rd trip to the dealership, they said that i needed an alignment. This past weekend, i took my car to another place for the alignment and was told that i had a suspension problem, that all four tires were wearing unevenly and inappropriately. Researching the internet, i located numerous honda customers with the same exact problems. I found that honda has known of this problem since 2006 and not corrected the problem. Nor have they notified their customers. Honda released a tsb in april, 08 but still will not take responsibility for the damage that has been done to my car. They said that they will replace the suspension/control arms but will not replace the tires on my car. At 24,000 miles on my car and a new car warranty, i feel as though i,the consumer,am getting screwed in this deal. The public should be notified and a recall should be issued.
Premature tire malfunction--severe checker board fashion cupping across the tires tread made us replace the rear tires on our 2007 honda civic. This is not a tire problem as our front tires are wearing normal. The problem is a design flaw, honda used too short of rear control arms on their rear suspensions. A recall has been issued for some 2006/2007 civics, but not all. Please be advised that many other civics need recalled to address this safety issue. Tires control the vehicles stability and traction when accelerating, driving and stopping.
I have a 2007 honda civic lx with 12040 mile,that developedexcessive road tire noise, and excessive tire wear on the inner tread of the rear tires. I took the car to the dealer and they installed the upper rear control arm kit, replaced the flange bolts and the worn rear tires. (honda service bulletin 08-001) the dealer did this all in less than one hour. Car ran great when i left the dealership, no excessive road-tire noise.10,000 miles later (total car mileage 22040) i have the same noise & tire wear problems. This time the tires are wearing on the outer edge of the tread. I took it back to the dealer , they said that i need two new rear tires and a four wheel alignment.they said if i buy a pair of tires from them ($275.00) that they would give me a complementary alignment.(four wheels alignment should have been done when the arms & tires were replaced at 12050 miles under service bulletin 08-001)well, i believe the cause of the second noise & tire wear was do to the first visit to the shop at 12050 mile, when they replaced the upper control arms, two rear tires was that didn't finish the job!the last thing to do (per service bulletin 08-001) is to do a 4-wheel alignment!!!!. No where on thefirst work order ticket does it say that a four wheel alignment was done. The car was in the shop less than a hour, flat rate time for arms replacementand 2 tires is 1.3 hours.great job twin-city honda ! !
Me and my fiance purchased a 2007 honda civic si. This is the second 07 si we have owned. On both of the civics i had that problem with 3rd gear popping out and also grinds sometimes going into 3rd. About three weeks ago the car started driving funny, and the rear end was slightly moving side to side on the highway. I checked and noticed the tires were almost gone in the rear. With only 22000 miles the tires should not be wearing down so all of the wires are showing in the tire. I was trying to figure out what was causing it. I already knew the alignment was off, but i just felt like something else was wrong. I called my dad and told him what was going on. A couple days later he found a whole bunch of complaints about 2006-2007 civics, with excessive wearing of the back tires. It turns out there are a whole bunch of people with this same problem. It is caused by bad control arms in the back of the car. I also found out that honda has made a bulletin of this, but has not yet issued a recall. I called the manager to where we bought the car, and told him that my tires we wore down to the wires. According to him he considered that normal wear. Now that i know of this problem, i got in contact with the service manager who is looking at my car on monday. I have printed off all of the complaints and the pics of their tires so i can show him. If i would have known this about the car i would have not purchased it. I have always owned honda\'s, but i am not very impressed with this 07 si. My 1991 integra runs and drives a hell of a lot better. I am also calling honda\'s customer service to make a complaint. They will only repair cars to your complaint if you have any of these problems.
Rear tires eaten to the point of failure within 10,000 miles. No camber adjustment for 2007 honda civic. Discussion with honda dealership resulted in the suggestion that i file a complaint as honda american will not honor their own ts document(tb 08-001) without additional approval from honda of america. Honda of american requires a complaint, an investigation, and approval by a regional manager. Additional follow-up appears to be nothing more thanroad blocks for car owners at the expense of safety. The dealership admits a repair kit is available for about $100, not including any tire replacement.
I am on my 4th set of tires for 2007 honda civic ex. Rotated regularly, serviced car at dealership, only 52,000 miles. Online research shows defect with rear upper control arm. Honda service bulletin 08-001 shows honda was aware of the issue with premature and uneven tire wear.there should have been a recall as this a safety issue. Initially i was not aware i was driving on bald tires until the car didn't pass inspection. I discovered problem online and went to dealership. After making excuses and denying scope of problem service rep was surprised when i showed him the service bulletin. Stated car is affected but out of warranty. I called honda corp and am waiting for an investigator to return call. Honda will have to pay. I will not pay out of pocket for this. I will go to bbb or state ag.
2006, 2007, and some 2008 honda civics have "out of spec" upper control arms on the rear suspension which results in excess negative camber, improper wear of rear tires.
Uneven and rapid rear tire wear in the 2007 honda civic lx sedan 5 speed automatic. The uneven and rapid tire wear is accompanied by constant loud roaring noise from the rear while the vehicle is in motion and vibration at highway speed. Maintenance has been performed regularly ' i paid the local honda dealership to complete wheel and tire alignment, balance, and rotation every 5000 miles when i take the car for a oil-change, yet i already replaced 2 sets of tires at 43000 miles ' once at 19000 miles and another one at 39000 miles. The tires i used were goodyear eagle rsa p/n 42751-gyr-036 h/g 8270498 p205/55r16. This is a safety concern for most drivers since regular drivers do not anticipate tire balding every 20000 miles and perhaps thedrivers are unaware of driving on bald tires. The local honda dealership diagnosed the problem as a rear upper control arm issue but refused to cover the cost of the repair. This premature wire wearing is clearly a honda defect and a safety concern.*tw
1. I drive a 2007 honda civic ex coupe.my car was perfectly fine.i was on the freeway cruising along, at highway speeds, and suddenly, out of nowhere, my rear control arm broke.2. My rear control arm broke for absolutely no reason, it snapped in half because the parts made to assemble them were made from lower quality material.the quality of material used to put together the rear control arm was completely unsafe.whoever thought of using that particular material for a rear control arm in a vehicle should definitely have charges pressed against him for attempted manslaughter.i did not hit anything on the road, and the piece just snapped.this is definitely due to a lack of commitment to use quality material on the rear control arm. This was on the freeway at freeway speeds.when a rear control arm breaks because of faulty material, scientifically, what happens 99.999999% of the time is the wheel flies off, the driver loses complete control of the car, the car spins a few times, the car gets hit by a few other cars, the car flips over a few times, and the driver is left dead.how i did not fall into that scientific calculation is nothing less than an act of god.if i drove one more mile, this would've probably occurred.fortunately, i did not crash.this has been an experience that has been completely traumatic to myself, and i am in complete fear of driving any honda now.i haven't had the money to replace the parts on my vehicle, because my car is out of warranty.this particular piece of the car should have definitely been in a recall.3.nothing has been to correct the failure as of yet.the car is sitting in a shop, but i am without the budget to fix the faulty pieces that almost killed me.
My 2007 civic ex coupe currently has a mileage of 66,000 and i'm having my fourth set of tires installed today, all of which were properly maintained and rotated.i've had 2 highway-speed blowouts in the last year, and somehow managed to avoid serious accidents both times.all of this is on top of the ridiculously loud road noise generated by this issue.the inside rim of both rear tires wear excessively fast.i was unaware of any manufacturing issue as honda has not issued a recall for this very serious problem.apparently people have to start dying in sufficient numbers before honda will fix this issue with a recall.*cw
2007 honda civic with uneven rear tire wear that is noticeable at 5000 miles and cups rear tires so bad by 10000 miles that there is so much noise in vehicle it sounds like the wheel bearings are shot. By 15000 miles the tires are showing cords because of uneven wear. Took it to dealer and they replaced arms on rear, sold me new tires for rear, and realigned vehicle. Said problem was corrected. Now have 11000 miles on new tires installed with same problem on new rear tires. Dealer will not fix problem. Looked on internet at same complaints on same year honda civic about uneven tire wear. Same problem across country with dealer not knowing how to fix and says it is an alignment problem that they will not fix. This is going to be a big problem as these cars are slowly placed into the used car market and tires are a second thought because if you are standing beside the car, the tread looks brand new while looking down on the tire and you assume it is not the source of the noise and keep driving on them. At interstate speeds a tire failure could be fatal.
Car:honda 2007 civic sicomplaint:car has been driven normally.excessive inner tire wear on rear wheels eats tires to the threads.tire must be inspected closely since most of it will appear with plenty of tread. This is a safety issue and honda has already issued a service bulletin on many 2006/2007 civic (but this excludes the si).the problem is identical on the si but honda will not cover it as a defect.honda refuses to acknowledge that this is an issue with the 2007 civic si.
Uneven tire wear at 16,500 due to rear control arm design flaw.honda issued tsb 08-001.they know about the problem but will not admit to it unless pressed. I did extensive research, confronted them and finally they "repaired" rear control arm???? but would not replace my worn tires or give me a tire alignment.i replaced all four tires at my expense and now 4,000 miles later , i hear excessive road noise and wonder if the problem was ever fixed.this is a safety and road hazard.honda should be held accountable. There should be a recall and the problem should be fixed correctly and completely without the customer being charged or harassed.
I have a 2007 honda civic. Recently noticed a noise from the undercarriage, which sounded like what i have heard before as a result of tire wear. But with just over 15,000 miles, didn't think this was likely. Contacted the dealer where i purchased the car and made an appointment to have an assessment done. The dealer confirmed all four tires bad, inside tire wear and cupping. Suggested i replace the tires with a new set of kumho brand tires, replace the rear upper control arms and do a 4 wheel alignment. Tire treadwear 6/32 and 7/32.since i had not rotated the tires, i figured the front treadwear was partially my fault, but had concerns about the rear tires because i could not remember such problems in prior automobiles i have owned. Was also puzzled by the need to replace the rear upper control arms in a car with 15,772 miles. Would have had the work done though, as we were headed on vacation, but estimated work time was 3 hours. Mechanic said no safety problems and i decided to continue on to tennessee on vacation. Besides, wanted time to think about the rear tires and control arms.tonight was researching the problem on the www. And easily found individual stories from civic owners with the same problems. One web site had information about honda finally acknowledging rear suspension problems and control arm replacement to solve it. In some cases they reimburse for tire replacements.what concerns me though is that if there is a rear suspension problem and the control arms solve it, how long will that fix the problem. Are they using the original equipment, or a beefed up control arm. If some improvement in the arms hasn't been done, then a new set of tires will only start wearing with the first miles driven and honda owners will have the same problem in 15 - 20, 000 miles.
Roaring rotational noise from rear of car.rear tires cupped and worn out at 21,400 miles.dealer says cause of noise and tire damage is bad rear suspension / rear control arms.dealer will replace control arms under warranty - no offer of compensation on ruined rear tires.tires would not be ruined if control arms did not fail!
Honda civic 2006-2007 have a defect of the rear stabilizer bar.this causes the tires to wear unevenly.it is not vi sable unless you are under the car.the tire wear causes these cars to become unsafe.when i discovered this on a web-site i took my car back to the dealer and asked them to repair this defect.i was refused and at that time called american honda.this was noted and referred to their review board.no response has been received from honda although they are aware of the dangerous nature of this problem.they were informed of my concern regarding my safety and those on the road with me.the extreme cost of replacing these parts, a 4th set of new tires and realignment will not be covered as the warranty is expired.this is a defect that they know about, and have known about.would it have been recalled when they realized the problem the cost would have been covered.thank you
Honda civic 2006_2007 have a defect off the assembly line in the rear of the car it chews through tires due to a negative camber of the rear wheels. I am getting new upper control arms and my rear wheel bearings replaced at no cost to me,and my 2 of my tires(hopefully 4 in the end) prorated based on wear. There is a honda service bulletin issued ion this,but i was never made aware of it. My fear is that a car owner who doesn't examine his tires closely will see no excessive wear since the negative camber effects the inside of the tires. This could result in a nasty blow out and some cases have been reported on the internet,although i can't substantiate them. I feel this is a real safety issue. I have been a long time honda owner and love their cars,but this has really left a bad taste in my mouth that they have not been made to issue a recall on this issue. The technician admitted it is a known problem that is a design issue. I'm sure this would be a huge cost to honda,but it's not worth someone's life. Thanks for your time.
I purchased new 2007 civic in november 2006, got a recall for rear bearing possibly needing changing dec 2007, i also noticed the inside of my rear tires wearing, so while warranty work was done jan 2007, i had car aligned, i did not pay much attention until this week 12/3, and i noticed my right rear tire was "slick" wow, and more vwow, i took it immediately to dealer, pointed out what we had done in january, and had them look at tires: 2 front tires had lots of tread, left rear was almost "slick" right rear is "slick"...they told me that their was a "bulletin" out, not recall to replace the upper control arms on the rear of the car, no cost, free alignment, but i had to pay for 2 new tire, at their "cost" $258 with tax.....i am very disappointed honda did not at least send me a note even a email alerting me to the fix....when they knew i was going to have this problem.....bridgestone tire will love it....i thing honda show come clean on this very dangerous problem, and pay for fix and prorated wear on my tires.......
2007 honda civic has a problem with the tires. Consumer states that the tires have uneven wear caused by defective control arms.*njthe manufacturer was willing to replace the rear control arms, but not the tires.
Uneven tire wear on 2007 civic.first set of tires only lasted 26,000 miles.brought in to honda for uneven tire wear and they blamed goodyear for the wear even though the changed the rear control arms to correct the improper camber from the factory.see service bulletins for free replacement of rear suspension.honda would not replace tires.i filed a complaint with the better business bureau.honda offered to pay half of the tire replacement.i declined their offer.we were about to go to arbitration when honda called and told me to bring the 2007 civic in and they will replace all 4 tires at not cost.it took about 4 months to settle, but eventually all tires were replaced at no charge.if all else fails, file with the better business bureau.they will hold the dealer responsible for not correcting the issue earlier to save the tires.
Loud vibration and noise coming from the rear of my 2007 honda civic. Took it to the dealer who told me the control arms had been recalled and that my tires were now "cupped". The dealer replaced the control arms but would not replace the tires which had been damaged.
I purchased a 2007 honda civic hybrid in september of 2007.i follow regular maintenance schedules as recommended by my dealer.as of 8-18-2008, my vehicle had over 12000 miles on it.the day prior to a regularly scheduled oil change, tire rotationand misc. Inspection, i encountered a flat tire.upon inspection of the flat tire and other rear tire, it was noted that both rear tires were completely bald.both tires were replaced that same day.on the following day, i took my car to my scheduled appointment at the honda dealer.i expressed my concern that i felt there was a problem that led to premature wear on the rear tires and that i also wanted to be reimbursed for the cost of the new tires.in my conversation with the service manager, i was told that they suspected the problem was due to a "control arm" issue and he told me that they have seen this issue many times beginning with the 2006 model.ultimately, they replaced/ repaired the control arm at no charge, photographed the tires, retained the damaged tires and offered to attempt tosecure a refund to cover the cost of new tires.i expressed my strong opinion that honda should have made this potential problem aware to all honda customers.i believe it is a huge safety issue and i feel fortunate that my family and i were not involved in an accident due to rapid wear of the tires.after this experience, i did some internet research and was astounded to read of many incidents that were nearly identical to mine.it looks as though this issue is very common to the honda civic and manypeople have the same complaints.this issue needs immediate attention and i am concerned about the safety of all individuals riding/driving in these vehicles.i am considering selling my civic hybrid.i will continue to try to bring attention to this issue.
On wednesday, june 11, 2008 i was driving from mar vista, ca to san leandro, ca with my 4 year old son and 20 year old sister in law. We were on the 580 w driving in the far left lane at 65mph at 11:30 am when we heard an explosion in the rear of the car. When we inspected the car, the right rear tire was blown through. The side walls were intact, but the whole top part of the tire was not connected to the side wall.my car is a 2007 honda civic coupe ex and it had about 8300 miles. I purchased the car in july 2007. The crash caused significant damage to the front left side of my car. The car is now at a body shop and is being repaired in san leandro, ca. We have the defective tire.after doing more research i found that honda had issued a service bulletin about uneven or rapid tire wear. Tsb 08-001 on february 8, 2008. I did not receive notification of this serious defect because honda is not required to notify consumers regarding tsbs. This defect is serious and affects nearly all 2006-2007 honda civics.this tsb needs to become a recall.all owners of 2006-2007 honda civics need to be made aware of this life threatening defect.i understand that tires should be checked regularly, and many consumers do, however, my tires did not give me any warning of uneven wearing.actually, it would be hard to notice since my 2007 civic coupe ex is not quite on the road and you can feel any little bump in the road.i was told that this was normal because of the stiff suspension.overall, i seriously hope that this is addressed quickly.many unsuspecting drivers, many of whom have driven honda's in the past are not expecting this type of problem which can cause tire blowouts and possible fatal accidents. It would be unfortunate that a class action suit or the death of innocent consumers prompt honda to make this tsb 08-001 notice a recall notice.
I bought a new 07 honda civic si sedan. The rear upper control arms are not adjustable. In fact they are built to give the rear tires more negative camber for better traction around turns. If i put two people in the back of the car it gives me even more negative camber and with that my i go through tires quick. I have even noticed that when driving through snow the car wants to change lanes by itself. I still have not had this problem taken care of. All they have to do is put adjustable control arms in the rear like the other civics.it does not make sense to me.i cansee this being a safety issue if some one was using this as a family car and never checked there back tires. This problem can lead to premature tire wear and blow outs. I have to rotate my tires every 2k miles and we mostly just drive down a straight freeway.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle began to shake and vibrate abnormally. The contact found the driver side rear tire was worn completely through the tread. The passenger side rear tire was also worn prematurely. The contact replaced both tires. The contact stated that the rear upper control arms on both sides were fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,802.
September 2007 honda civic hybrid with only 37000km to date.i have noticed excessive vibration and today though out the rear. Driver wheel was out of line, leaning inwards at the top. I visited the dealer and was told the car needed a "rear suspension alignment". I'm an engineer and didn't buy this explanation. Researching on internet this evening i found many reports that there is a major defect with the rear suspension. It's not an alignment problem but a failure of the suspension arms. Has honda put out a recall, in any case we have a 7 year extended warranty but no doubt an upcoming battle with the dealer unless honda comes forward to honor their commitment to safety. Many report the condition is dangerous due to excessive rear tire wear.updated 12/30/10we are in canada, can you advise to whom we should make our complaint. Updated 11/02/10the consumer stated the dealership made the repairs to his vehicle at no charge. However, he did have to purchase new tires. Updated 01/10/11
Vehicle is on 3rd set of tires at 54,000 miles.through search, located honda service bulletin date 01/22/2008 that rectifies the problem.however, first set of original turanzas lasted 22,000 miles and bridgestone blamed honda.2nd set lasted just 30,000 miles.honda charged $32 to repair problem, but should have reported to customers when they issued service bulletin.customer is out the cost of tires (approx. $400).
The rear control arms are known to be defective in honda civics.i have had my car repaired but due to tire wear this could result in a safety issue if people do not push their dealerships to make the repair.as of yet american honda motor corp has not issued a recalled even though they are aware of this suspension problem.they have issued a tsb, 08-001, on this problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that his rear alignment needed to be repaired and had cause the tires to fail. The dealer has made three attempts to correct the failure. The tires were replaced and rotated which included an alignment; however, the tires have continued to wear out prematurely. The honda manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The failure mileage was 35,000.
Uneven rear tire wear caused by defect in rear control arms.arms replaced under warranty but not tires.
I have a 07' civic si sedan.i had to replace my rear tires as well.i tried to have the rear alignment done, but the rear control arm were out and are not adjustable.the dealer stated there is a problem w/ the arms but it did not come out including the si, only the lx & ex.i hope it is just a matter of time before they include the si.it is the same part #.
I am having rear suspension arm control issues with my honda i bought this car new it now has under 30,000 and needs the rear arm controls replaced, this has been recalled on other civic's but not on mine. I have contacted honda corporation, and have not gotten a answer back from them.i have looked on like to find that many other civicsi owners are having the same problems.i am not only having to replace this faulty part, but to replace tires multiple time!...
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving atapproximately 55 mph, the contact heard a rumbling sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The dealer advised that the rear support arms as well and both rear tires would need to be replaced. The repair was performed at the contact's expense. The failure recurred within two years. The dealer performed an alignment and both rear tires were replaced. The failure recurred within six weeks. There had been no further repairs. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 100,000. Updated 1/19/2010 updated 04/20/11
2007 honda civic si rear end noise and tire wear took back to dealer they stated they know about the problem and they will not fix it what i been hearing there is a big problem nation wide honda needs a recall before someone dies from a tire blowing out.
My 2007 honda civic 2-door coupe had wrong rear suspension upper control arms installed at the factory.at the 30,000 service, the honda dealer rotated tires and i had a severe shimmy in the steering wheel.the dealer rotated the tires back and told me i had defective tires--they had worn unevenly.rear tires wear also very noisy, especially on smooth roads (load rumble and a "beat").i had a blow out at 40,000 miles and replaced all 4 tires.at the 60,000 mile service the dealer rotated the tires and again i had a severe shimmy.dealer said the tires were defective and to return to tire dealer.i went to tire dealer and was informed that my car had a rear suspension problem.tire dealer also told me to look online as many civics had rear suspension problems.went back to honda dealer, showed him a form from the tire dealer stating my car had a suspension problem.honda dealer inspected rear suspension and found my civic had the wrong upper control arms installed.after dealer and i contacted honda with the complaint, honda offered to cover all but $300 of the $800 repair.i had the repair done by the dealer and paid $300.very disappointed that honda is not volunteering to repair a problem that existed with my car from its assembly at the factory.
When i took my '07 civic hybrid to my dealer in may for an oil change,they told me all four tires needed to be replaced due to worn outtreads. The car only had 18500 miles on it at the time, so i wasflabbergasted. The service advisor suggested i was driving the cartoo aggressively.while researching replacement tires online, i discovered that thispremature tire wear had happened to many other civic owners. In fact,honda had issued a service bulletin (008-001) for this back in early'08. There is a problem with the rear control arms which can causeuneven or premature tire wear in all 2006-2007 civics, except for thesi. So i went back to the dealer, showed the advisor the servicebulletin, and got the control arms fixed.now why didn't they just fix the control arms in the first placeinstead of questioning the customer's driving habits? seems to meeither the advisor is incompetent or dishonest. I suspect it's thelatter as she mentioned that honda doesn't pay the dealer much tocover the repair. Others on the internet have had the same experienceover this issue. Looks like honda stumbled on this one.
Our 2007 honda civic ex 4dr began to experience mild shaking during driving with an increased shake the faster we drove.this resulted in almost total loss of control of the vehicle during slight slippery conditions on the highway during the winter because of a fishtailing effect that was being induced.the result is because of rear control arms on this vehicle being manufactured too small causing a negative camber of the rear wheels and causing premature and uneven tire wear of the inner half of the tires. This has been an issue for over 2 years now increasing over time and was never recalled by honda but simply issued to dealerships under service bulletin 08-001 which was never carried out during regular service of the vehicle at the dealership.only now when i complained of a shake and further research by myself have they decided to do anything about it.i have winter and summer tires now that have uneven wear on them and have experienced headache-inducing shakes at highway speeds.at the present moment honda is repairing these rear control arms but i have to flip the bill for labor, an alignment, and 2 new sets of tires which are said to be covered under the service bulletin by honda.this is completely irresponsible and should be addressed to the company and a recall be generated for these vehicles.
I am now on my 3rd set of tires for the rear of this car.it keeps wearing the inner rear tires until the belt becomes exposed and heat up.there is a danger that if gone unnoticed that one of the tires will rupture causing a blowout and a high speed accident!
Excessive rear tire wear under normal driving circumstances. The local dealer replaced the rear tires 5,000 miles ago to remedy the excessive wear. The new tires are cupping again.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic si. The contact replaced two sets of tires in less than 14,000 miles. A front end alignment has also been performed twice. The mechanic stated that there was a caliber problemon the rear tires. The failure has caused the tires to shred on the side very quickly. Honda has also informed the contact that the vehicle was designed that way. A local dealer confirmed that the design of the vehicle caused the failure and that there must be a flaw in the way the vehicle was driven. The tires have shredded every 5000 miles. Honda insist that the wheel bearings were not related to the failure nor is the failure related to campaign number 07v399000, service brakes, hydraulic antilock wheel speed sensor. The failure mileage was 6000 miles and the current mileage was 14000 miles.
While driving heard loud humming noise and the ride was rough.brought vehicle to honda dealership in burlington.they said the tires were badly cupped.needed to replace tires and get an alignment.brought vehicle for a second opinion.mechanic told me honda had technical bulletin in 2008 for uneven wear in rear tires. The rear camber assembly needed to be replaced.cost $250. Honda won't pay for it even though they were aware of the problem and never said anything.add four new tires and wheel alignment and your looking close to $1000. If you don't get it fixed the tires will wear down regardless if you get tire rotations and blow out.luckily no one has dies from this but this shouldn't be the reason for not having a recall.look at the blogs, etc.honda just tells everyone to replace tires and get an alignment.people do and keep coming back to replace tires.honda has hid from this problem.i haven't replaced my tires but if i listened to honda i would have replaced tires and been back again in 20,000-30,000 miles to replace tires. I should not have to pay for a serious problem that honda hid from it's owners.please help.

Hello,i have a 2007 honda civic ex sedan. Recently, everytime you go over 45 mph there is so much road noise that there is no way being able to talk in the car. We have already replaced the four set of tires, ran a tire rotation and the issue still persists. I have done some research and i am not the only one that is having problems. I have called honda and they told its the tires, where i only have 30,000 miles on my car.
I was experiencing excessive tire noise from the rear of my 2007 civic lx coupe.i also felt a slight shimmy coming from the rear of the car.i had the tires rotated and immediately began hearing a much more pronounced hum/vibration noise coming from the front of the car.additionally, there was very perceivable shimmy on the steering wheel between 50 and 60 mph.i concluded that whatever was wrong in the back of the car was now transferred to the front and it had to be tires.i took the vehicle to my local honda dealer and they confirmed that flat spots had developed on the front tires (which had been on the rear until the day before).these flat spots were the cause of the vibration/hum.they also informed me that honda does not warranty tires.the dealer said i needed to replace both front tires and that i should also allow them to replace the rear control arm as a warranty repair.the dealer never actually said that the original factory rear control arms lead to my premature tire wear.they only said that honda was advising customers to have them replaced as a warranty repair.i had to pay for two replacement tires and labor - about $280.
The tires on my 2007 honda civic kept show bad wear and had to rotate every 10,000-15,000 until couldn't do it anymore, bought several sets of tires::solved the problem buy paying almost $900 to fix the arms on the rear end. Said thing is honda knew and knows about this problem but wont do a recall...good news is after all my sets of tires and $900 dollars my car is now getting good wear out of the tires.
Had a flat tire that would not hold air, so attempted to put on the spare tire that was purchased new with the vehicle (by me) at nalley honda of union city, ga.it was the wrong size spare tire. The lug pattern would not fit. It was a 16" spare instead of the 15" that my car calls for.the dealership would not swap it out for the right size spare tire, even though it was the first time out of my trunk (2007 car, and 2007 date coded spare).luckily, the flat happened in my driveway instead of my daughter being stranded on the interstate.
Rear tires are cupping and they've become very noisy after 5,000 miles. Problem first noticed: november 2011. The rear tires were always slippery in tight curves at normal speed.went to route 23 honda, nj for a check up on 02/16/12. They blamed my new tires (10000 miles old). Charged me $96.25 for a 4 wheel alignment, no problem found with the rear wheels. I have asked them about service bulletin 08-001 (uneven or rapid rear tire wear) but they did not admit any fault. They've said my car does not need a repair as per sb 08-001 mentioned above.i have contacted (opened account with) american honda motor co. They did not call back.
Honda civi 2007 lx coupe; noise coming from wheels/tires. Took to dealer they said tires. Went to tire dealer,they said not tires but rims. Noise gets really bad around 70. This has been ongoing for a few months. Getting expensive, frustrated.
Apparently cannot be aligned properly.i'm replacing 3rd set of tires within 50k miles.
2007 honda civic. Consumer states problem with vehicle tires *tgwthe consumer stated the rear tires had to be replaced three times. The consumerstated it was a known defect as honda issued a tsb to the dealership describing the problem, but no notification was ever sent to the consumer.
My 2007 honda civic wear out rear tires extremely fast, causing loud vibrations and safety concerns.
I have had my vehicle for 2 years now. In that time i have put only 20000 miles on the vehicle. I have had to replace my tires twice already on the vehicle due to uneven wear on the tires. The camber of the tires is affected by the rear control arms. This also caused the rear suspension to wear, which i have already had to replace on the vehicle. When breaking my steering wheel shakes affecting my steering. This is caused by the uneven inner tire wear on this vehicle. I am concerned for the safety on this vehicle and i believe other similar vehicles might have the same issue. It is also become a quite expensive problem for me to have to deal with on this vehicle. To whom it may concern,thank you!
Jan. 14, 2008, while driving my 2007 honda civic, i notice at 55mph the civic vibrate and make an unusual noise. I took my civic into my local honda dealership on jan. 16, 2008 for complaints about vibration at 55mph and clicking when trying to start my civic. There was no problem found on the clicking, when i arrived i had the service writer to come out and listen to the clicking, the service writer agreed there was clicking. The other issue of vibration when at 55mph i was advised honda will contact me once a repair is available on the service customer copy form. Also, the service writer told me over the phone there had been numerous complaints about this issue honda would repair the problem, the problem is causing my tires to wear uneven andi was going to get new tires.
Honda civic - 2007 hybrid - needs new "control arms" as the tires are unsafe to drive - apparently this is happening a lot, i'm surprised there is not a recall yet.i've got 70k miles and finishing my 2nd set of rear tires already - they refuse to correct at no cost, even though they've even put out a "service bulletin".
I have less than 65,000 miles on my car.it has received regular scheduled maintenance from the honda dealership.after replacing the 4 original michelin tires @ 38,000 miles i have had to replace the rear tires 3 additional times.the car has an extremely loud "humming" noise coming from the rear end. It eats up the rear tires quickly, which cause the car to mishandle.each new set of rear tires wears out more quickly than the previous ones.i just bought the 4th new set of rear tires on 12/18/2011, drove down to the los angeles area from sacramento.when i returned, i went to the tire store where i purchased the new tires, to gage/check out any possible wear that may have occurred on the trip.at less than 1000 miles (850 of these being highway miles), the new rear tires were already down to 8/32.the humming noise is so loud you can not have a normal conversation in the car, or hear a siren for that matter and the steering appears to be/feel loose.i am afraid to drive this car any short/long distance.
Noticed rough ride and noise from back of car.on inspecting, can see where the tread is separating from the tire.took car to local firestone dealership and was told they have had 8 2007 honda civics with the same problem recently.they stated this is a known problem at honda.dealership is giving me the run-around.oh yes, car has 24k miles and was purchased new.
Consumer had issues with the service on 2007 honda civic at the dealership. *nj the consumer heard a rotating chiming noise coming from the vehicle. The dealer informed the consumer the noise was coming from the rear tires that had flat spots due to improper tire pressure or panic stops. The consumer went to another dealerand was told a tsb had been issued for the rear control arms. The consumer was informed the noise would continue until the tires were replaced.
Excessive tire wear and loud noise from rear of vehicle. We have replaced two sets of tires, once at 11,000 miles and at 36,000 miles and they are again worn at 58,461 miles. We learned of a service bulletin, service bulletin number : 08-001 date of bulletin : feb 08, 2008, issued by honda and after much complaining since we were a few hundred miles past the 3 year 36,000 mile mark the dealer made the repairs and aligned the car. We have rotated the tires regularly and the loud noise is back as well as excessive tire wear. I find it ridiculous to have to replace tires like this because the tire warranty is void because the tread in one section is beyond the limit for replacement. The honda dealer is claiming we have not rotated the tires enough/properly which seems to be a common excuse for others complaining about the problem to honda.
I bought a 2007 honda civic ex coupe in august 2007.i noticed a loud vibration/thumping noise coming from the back of my car at around 15k miles.i kept an eye out and did not notice anything wrong with the car.i am now at 25k miles and i just had to get my two rear tires replaced due to sever cupping and uneven tread wear on the tires.i researched the issue and found there is a known problem with the 2007 civics in regards to uneven or rapid rear tire wear and also found a service bulletin from honda admitting there is a problem with the rear upper control arms.i realize that the factory tires that are put on new cars are not the best tires but they should not be so severely cupped and worn at 25k miles.i spent $400 on two new tires this past weekend and i am afraid after reading hundreds of complaints regarding this issue that i will have to replace the tires again after another 20-25k miles if this problem is not fixed.i believe it is honda's responsibility to issue a recall for this issue because they admit there is a problem and it is also extremely dangerous to be driving on tires that are severely cupped and uneven.please help in doing something about this issue as it is as much about safety as it is forking over the money to replace tires every 25k miles.
Tires wear out , due to weak stabilizer bars on rear end, honda replaced the stabilizer's, and aligned car, however don't pay to replace tires, only way to know you have a problem is to take car to dealer, if you get you service anywhere else, you don't know you have a problem. I took car in for oil change and got the word about the service bulletin.
Right rear tire wears incorrectly, cupping or scalloping occurs, appears to be to much negative camber.the cupping creates "wobbling" or road noise.
Approximately a week after buying lifetime alignment and 4 new bridgestone potenza tires in july 2011 at firestone, el paso, tx, my car started to vibrate in the road while driving at speeds 50mph through 60mph.after many research and diagnosis from honda parts and service shop, different firestone locations and local mechanics, the conclusion is that the upper/rear control arms, front and rear camber arm and bolts are defective as per honda manufacturers.my tires are excessively and unevenly wearing.i have already bought 6 sets of new tires in the last 12 months because of this honda issue, which they admit it is a defect made by the manufacturers.they released a service bulletin (service bulletin 08-001 dated april 11, 2008) that informs honda dealer shop of this issue/defect, but they refuse to take responsibility of repairing it free of charge. I believe that it is not fair that customers buying hondas have to pay for defective parts made by the manufacturers.i would like these defect to be solved and paid by them and i would like refund for at least the last set of tires that i recently bought and are already unevenly worn out (this makes it a useless tire). In case it is needed i have all the paper work that can be a clear evidence to this complaint.like me, there are other honda owners with the same issue.
I was experiencing loud road noise from the trunk area as well as uneven tire wear on both rear tires.this vehicle has 36250 miles on it.i have had the vehicle to my mechanic to determine the cause of the noise and tire wear.they were unable to find a root cause.after doing research i found that honda is aware of this problem on the civic, but they have not notified owners of the potential for high-cost repairs and new tires.
2007 honda civic.consumer writes in regards to motor mounts uppers and lowers cracked and replaced twice in two weeks.the consumer stated while driving, she heard a rumbling noise and the steering wheel and dash started shaking. At the time, she didn't know the driver's side rear tire had blown out, until she arrived at the repair shop.
Rear tires wear bad on the inside.
2007 honda civic hybrid very rapid inside edge tire wear.at 21k we need 3rd set of tires for loud excessivenoise at 25-65 mph and even slow turning . Have had our honda dealer install the new "c"marked control arms and alignment done also at 13k.honda rep looked at car today with 21k said all is ok and is to honda specs.thisis not my idea of a car that is made correctly or in anyone's spec's anywhere in the real automotive world ! really 3 sets of tires in 21k miles "normal" that takesalot of ignorance on honda's part. A stressful waiting game for the tire's to blow out, heaven knows you will not hear tires go with all the noise from them.just hope were able to control car and no one gets hurt.
Uneven and rapid rear tire wear in the 2007 honda civic lx sedan 5 speed automatic. The uneven and rapid tire wear is accompanied by constant loud roaring noise from the rear while the vehicle is in motion and vibration at highway speed. Maintenance has been performed regularly ' i paid the local honda dealership to complete wheel and tire alignment, balance, and rotation every 5000 miles when i take the car for a oil-change, yet i already replaced 2 sets of tires at 43000 miles ' once at 19000 miles and another one at 39000 miles. The tires i used were goodyear eagle rsa p/n 42751-gyr-036 h/g 8270498 p205/55r16. This is a safety concern for most drivers since regular drivers do not anticipate tire balding every 20000 miles and perhaps thedrivers are unaware of driving on bald tires. The local honda dealership diagnosed the problem as a rear upper control arm issue but refused to cover the cost of the repair. This premature wire wearing is clearly a honda defect and a safety concern.*tw
Unsafe handling.the rear of the car abnormally "darts" laterally when going over concrete expansion joints, potholes or similar road imperfections.this momentary "darting" - or inability of the rear suspension to track correctly - is more pronounced when cornering, especially at highway speeds.i experienced a spin-out (fortunately, no collision) on a wet road at 45-50mph due to overcorrection for this "darting" condition.in conjunction with poor rear suspension handling, accelerated and excessive inner rear tire wear is experienced.effectively shortening the lifespan of a 35,000 to 50,000 mile tire by at least half, if not more.it is even more excessive and accelerated if the tires are not rotated.after my spin-out, i started researching 2007 civic handling / tire-wear on-line and it appears many, many 2006-2007 civic owners have one or both of these conditions and that honda is aware, but not willing to recall this unsafe rear upper control arm design/manufacturing flaw.
I have a 2007 honda civic si. I have approximately 36600 miles on it and i have been having the 3rd gear syncro issue since summer 2008(i bought the car 2/2/08. When i took my car in the other day to have them address the 3rd gear syncro issue after they took the car apart they told me my clutch plate was severely warn down and needed to be replaced and that it was not covered under my extended warranty. I asked them if this was caused from the 3rd synchro and i was told "no" but i have been reading that it is a direct result. I am not happy with honda and they need to include all the gears synchros and the clutch in the tsb.also the tires wear on inside and i was informed that the si was not included in the tsb because it has a different suspension.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving atapproximately 55 mph, the contact heard a rumbling sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The dealer advised that the rear support arms as well and both rear tires would need to be replaced. The repair was performed at the contact's expense. The failure recurred within two years. The dealer performed an alignment and both rear tires were replaced. The failure recurred within six weeks. There had been no further repairs. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 100,000. Updated 1/19/2010 updated 04/20/11
Popping noise while turning at 5,268 miles.replaced two tires at 19,785 miles.need a front end axle replacementat 31,839.diagnosed and adjusted torqued rear suspension noise at 60,136.replaced rear upper control arms 61,275.replaced shocks, and cv boots at 61,275.struts were making noise due to cupping.struts were replaced at 61,275.two new tires that were recently replaced were replaced again.both tires were feathered and making noise.vehicle is maintained in good condition and is following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendation.car was aligned as required by manufacturer.however, cupping or feathering of the tires still happened.when the rear control arm was not replaced yet, the rear noise was so loud and driving was bad.the tires felt flat and the shock absorber did not seem to be working.it is very hard to deal with both honda america and kolbe dealer.both companies tried to play ignorant of the issues although they knew it all along.i spent $1,419.11 for premature expenses.american honda blamed the premature damages to me.american honda nor kolbe honda did not notify me of the technical bulletins that were issued.also, just because there is a technical bulletin or corrective action does not mean that the problem will go away.design of the rear upper control arm must be reviewed again and tested for geometry with other parts of the vehicle.honda america should tightened its quality control and quality assurance so that its manufacturing facility will not release cars that have defective parts.honda knew very well that the rear upper control arms have design flawed starting with 2002 honda civic.why are they still using this design?is it because they manufactured so much of the wrong parts?the battery, and water pump pulley were replaced, updated 07/16/12
Honda civic hybrid has tire wear on inner part of back tires. At 21,000 miles dealer says the back tires need to be replaced, they say it may be a balance problem. I researched the problem and safety bulletin indicates the rear control arm is defective, but car hasn't been recalled. The control arm needs replacement, but they will only give a % of replacement for back tires. It sounds like if the problem is not fixed there will continue to be unsual tire wear, which poses a safety risk to drivers. Am contacting dealer tomorrow about problem.
I have a 2007 honda civic hybrid with tire problems. I have taken my car to the dealer twice with complaints about uneven tire wear and poor handling and have been assured that i am imagining everything. The tires that have been on the rear the longest have signs of separation and very different wear than those that have been on the front the longest. There is a definite problem with handling when the worn tires are on the front but my honda service manager says nothing is wrong with the tires. I even wrote honda hq and received a response that they know of no problem with the cheap bridgestone tires being put on these cars. I have read online in forum and blogs there are 100's of civic hybrid owners like me that are facing the same issue.
I have a honda civic 2007 and i am experiencing premature tire wear on the vehicle.the original tires only got 18,000 miles.the next set of tires were warrantied for 65,000 miles and i got 20,000 miles on them.the next set was 60,000 mile tires and are almost worn out and will need replacing after 22,000 miles.i took the car to my local honda dealer before the warranty expired and told them of my problem. They said nothing was wrong with the car. What can i do? i am replacing the tires every year.
2007 honda civic. Ltr. Regarding resolution of issues outlined in honda service bulletin 08-001. *njthe consumer experienced uneven/rapid tire wear. The consumer was informed that there were several cases where tires on 2006 and 2007 civic's required tire replacement within 11,000. The consumer stated the problem was not the tires, but its condition outlined in the bulletin.
The back tires on my 2007 honda civic went prematurely bald and my family was almost killed on a wet mountain road.the back tires only last 15,000 miles on the newer civics and honda will not acknowledge this.
I bought a brand new 2007 honda civic hybrid that i have had to replace the tires on 3 times and the vehicle only has 45,000 miles. Counting the original tires that came on the vehiclethat's 4-sets of tires. These tires were 70,000 mile rated tires. I contacted my local dealer in little rock, ar and they advise that there is no recall to fix the problem; however,they stated that honda was aware of the problem and attributed it to a defective rear camber arm. They advised me that there is apublic safety bulletin 08-001on the part. Because no recall has been issued for the defective rear camber arm they advised me that it would cost $700 to replace the defective ones. The excessive tire wear caused by this defective part can easily result in tire blow-outs, vehicle accidents, and highway fatalities. The fact that a known safety deficiencyexist that honda is aware of but unwilling to correct needs to be investigated.
My 2007 honda civic si appears to wear out rear tires faster than front tires. The car is front wheel drive. Rear tires become worn uneven and get bumps on them, this causes my car to shake and vibrate very bad, also makes it hard to drive in the rain. Appears lots of other peopole have had the same problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic si. While driving at approximate speeds of 50 mph, the front passenger side tire blew out without warning. The next week, the rear driver side tire blew out suddenly. Upon further inspection, the contact believed the failure to be attributed to the manner in which the tires were mounted to the vehicle. The dealer advised the vehicle would need a specific unknown tire and an alignment. The contact confirmed the failure persisted and the dealer was unable to determine the exact cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000 and current mileage was 75,000.
2007 honda civic. Consumer writes to express discontent with honda motor co. *tgwthe consumer stated at 21,560 the original tires on his vehicle were replaced due to extreme uneven wear.the consumer stated his mechanic informed him of a service bulletin that was issued in july 2009 regarding rapid/uneven rear tire wear.the consumer stated he has since purchased his third set of tires for the vehicle.
I replaced the original 2007 tires at 41,887 miles in 2009 with premature wear.eighteen months later, i had terrible road noise.i thought it was the bearings.it turns out that despite an alignment and proper rotation, my tires were all cupped in less than 26,000 miles.the mechanic mentioned the problem honda had with the rear upper control arms in this vehicle.i just spent another $218 to get updated rear upper controls arms on top of $800 for new tires and another alignment.honda is responsible for the poor quality control and not alerting me that this was a problem.the tires i just replaced were good for 85,000 miles.
Unusual rear tire wear and high road noise.
Rear tire noise and vibration from 25,000 miles on.visual inspection shows flat spots on both rear tires.took in for service and honda service related that there was an updated version of the rear suspension control arm which they replaced for free.however they were not willing to replace or even prorate tire wear stating that 30k miles warranted no replacement.front tires show no wear at all.the tires have worn to a unsafe level and honda has known about this service related problem for months.i have not received any notification from honda on recalls or service bulletins. Serious safety issue.
I bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid from a certified honda dealership.the design flaw of the rear tire arms of the vehicle caused the tire arm to rub on the tires of the car until the tires were nearly bald causing the car to shutter and the structure of the tires to weaken endangering me and my passengers.when i took the car to honda, i was forced to replace the tires prematurely 2 times since owning the car due to the irregular wear on the tires.honda did not notify me of the problem, refused to pay for new tires but finally admitted after the second pair of tires were rubbed bald, that the tire arm of the car was causing damage to the tires.they repaired the tire arm, but would not pay for new tires.the transmission of the car is also flawed in design.occasionally when accelerating, the gas pedal of the car can be pushed to the floor and the car will not continue to accelerate and will loose power.this has happened at stop lights, entering the freeway, and going up hills endangering my life and the lives of my passengers.honda again, did not notify me of the problem, but told me when i brought the car in after experiencing the problems that i needed an upgrade to my computer and that those upgrades may fix the problem. Those updates to the computers effect the battery of the hybrid part of the car's engine. Those batteries are loosing the ability to hold a chargeand causing the transmission to fail because the car relies on that battery power to run the engine.the gas mileageof the car has also been steadily declining.when the car was new, it got 45 mpg and honda advertised it get 50 mpg, the car now gets around 33 mpg.the computer updates are changing the way the car runs off of gas and battery power and honda is not replacing the faulty batteries.this has endangered my life and the lives of my passengers because the faulty batteries effect how the car operates.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the rear of the vehicle vibrated at various speeds.the vehicle was taken to a mechanic for an oil change and the rear suspension was inspected.the mechanic noticed that the tires had uneven wearing and advised the contact to go to the dealer.the dealer stated that the control arms and all four tires needed to be replaced.the dealer will cover the cost for the replacement of the control arms, but not the tires.the failure mileage was 19,660 and current mileage was 19,860.

I have crack on my engine block upfront where's leek out antifreeze from block when i came dealership they said it doesn't cover my vehicle but when i check online it problem issues recall on this model so what should i have to do i'm student i buy this car for cash and i see this issue factory belong my vehicle has only 115000 miles can you respond me please.
While operating the above vehicle, the driver side sun visor imploded, became unstable and fell into my line of sight. This was a known hazardous defect on behalf of the manufacturer, honda. I just became aware this has been a well documented flaw in the design and the company has been put on notice.the failure of honda to voluntarily recall and/or repair the defected visor amounts to negligence according to most state case law.this should immediately result in a civil action before another failed product presents an undue hazard to another victim of honda.
In 2011 honda settled a class action suit involving defective sun visors. My car had both visors replaced in, i believe, 2012.both are cracked just as the originals were. The danger is in the driver side defective sun visor.it can flop down unpredictably and and distract the driver.if it flops down halfway, its edge is aimed at my forehead and injure me. The only inexpensive and quick repair is a binder clip attached to the broken parts to hold them together.
I hit a pothole and the airbag was deployed.
On wednesday, june 11, 2008 i was driving from mar vista, ca to san leandro, ca with my 4 year old son and 20 year old sister in law. We were on the 580 w driving in the far left lane at 65mph at 11:30 am when we heard an explosion in the rear of the car. When we inspected the car, the right rear tire was blown through. The side walls were intact, but the whole top part of the tire was not connected to the side wall.my car is a 2007 honda civic coupe ex and it had about 8300 miles. I purchased the car in july 2007. The crash caused significant damage to the front left side of my car. The car is now at a body shop and is being repaired in san leandro, ca. We have the defective tire.after doing more research i found that honda had issued a service bulletin about uneven or rapid tire wear. Tsb 08-001 on february 8, 2008. I did not receive notification of this serious defect because honda is not required to notify consumers regarding tsbs. This defect is serious and affects nearly all 2006-2007 honda civics.this tsb needs to become a recall.all owners of 2006-2007 honda civics need to be made aware of this life threatening defect.i understand that tires should be checked regularly, and many consumers do, however, my tires did not give me any warning of uneven wearing.actually, it would be hard to notice since my 2007 civic coupe ex is not quite on the road and you can feel any little bump in the road.i was told that this was normal because of the stiff suspension.overall, i seriously hope that this is addressed quickly.many unsuspecting drivers, many of whom have driven honda's in the past are not expecting this type of problem which can cause tire blowouts and possible fatal accidents. It would be unfortunate that a class action suit or the death of innocent consumers prompt honda to make this tsb 08-001 notice a recall notice.
Consumer would like all complaints regarding a 2007 honda civic lx two door.
There was a recall on the sun visor brought it in had it fixed it was splitting at the top would not stay up happened again same thing happened took it in all they did was put some glue on it took itfor the 3rd time they want me to pay 100.00 to have it fixed this is a problem visor won't stay up splitting again
On august 31, 2017 while i was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly.fortunately i managed to pull over the car to a safe place immediately beside the highway otherwise i would have been in a fatal situation. I had the car towed to the dean honda at pittsburgh where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem.they identified that there was crack in the engine block which has caused the coolant to leak from the engine and hence overheating of the engine has happened.they told me that the engine has to be replaced and few other parts as well (like spark plug etc.) to make the car running again which would cost me around $4000.i did some research over the internet regarding this issue and found that most of the 2006 to 2009 civics had the engine crack issue and tsb 10-048 was issued and the warranty of such engines were extended to 10 years and that would cover the replacement of the engine if such issues are found. I checked with my service consultant at dean honda if this would be covered under the extended warranty. He did a vin inquiry and said the warrant has expired 10 days ago and this won't be covered. (the original purchase date of the car was 22-aug-2007 and this incident happened to me on 31-aug-2017). This is a big blow to me. This is my first car in the us. I bought this car as the second owner in july 2015 with only 36000 miles on it and i have hardly driven 15000 miles over the past two years without any issues.the previous owner also never had any issues with it and that's why i purchased it with confidence. Considering customer's safety, these engines needs to be recalled by honda and replaced with new ones or at least the warranty of these engines needs to be extended further (for at least for 5 more years). I was lucky enough to survive a fatal accident.
I've had/having several problems with my 2007 honda civic that i bought brand new. My back tires have worn very unevenly over the years and because of this car eating tires i've replaced tires almost every 2 years. There is also a popping sound when driving when you make a tight turn. I've also had many problems with my a/c. I've had the blower fan stop working and some component relating to it replaced 3 times. My a/c recently stopped blowing cold air after it spit out frozen freon through my vents. Mechanic has told me my freon was empty and compressor locked up. Now i need to throw money ($1400) at this repair as well!...updated 07/19/16
After about 4 years the paint faded really bad on the roof and hood.i talked to honda about it at the time and they said they had had lots of complaints but that my year was not one that was covered.recently i went in and they told me that my year had been covered but that time has run out. I feel that they should have advised people if there was an issue.since i was told it wasn't covered by my dealer and then later told it was and time had run out.
Ac stop working on my new 3 month old 2007 honda civic.air conditioning condenser coil received damage apparently caused bt a pebble that was kicked up while driving on the highway. This appears to be a common problem amongst honda owners from the research i've done. There is virtually no protection against such an event and this part appears much too fragile to be exposed as it is. The condenser must be replaced and would cost $700.dealer refuse to fix under warranty.

Takata recall hi i am having several issues with the ignition not wanting to turn for several moments after putting the key inside to start my 2007 honda xivic lx sedan and then all of a sudden the lights and power to the doors and windows work but car won't roll over to start. The car has been flashing a wrench like bar along with what looks like shape of the motor for 2 months as well ad i've just had an oil change done 4 days ago but yet it still reads oil life 5% b1 on the dash which won't clear nothing was wrong with spark plus or anything else under hood from valvoline's stand point when checked other than wipers don't never want to shut off as well. Thank you and regards [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission.i patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution.honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably caused by my driving, the problem with the vehicle going into third gear is a known problem and there is a technical service bulletin that honda corporate has released for the exact problem.the headliner rattles, door gasket seal has been coming off since purchase, suspension popping noise in the front passenger side strut since purchase and the sound has become more frequent, the driver side visor was defective and was replaced, the driver door hits the fender when opening just started happening since honda worked on my vehicle.i have been taking my vehicle to two different dealerships (recommended by honda corporate) and nothing has been properly repaired.i feel as though i have been given the run around for the past year.honda has made several attempts to repair the problems and has not been able to, they have only damaged my vehicle during their attempts to repair it.they have damaged the front bumper three times, the side of the vehicle once, the door and fender once.they of course denied any involvement in the damage, then repair it under warranty.
On my 2007 civic ex, the driver side visor popped open at the parting line near the hinge and the plastic ribs inside broke. It does not want to snap back into place in any direction (front, back, or side). It hangs so low that it is blocking the view of the road (front windshield and driver side window) at all times. I am very disappointed with honda that it is not listed as a safety concern...because it is.
The vehicle's hybrid ima system (integrated motor assist) has been steadily deteriorating since approximately 40000 miles, but became hazardous at around 63000. Current mileage is 78500. The hybrid battery system must recharge so frequently that battery assist is available less than half the time. When assist is unavailable, acceleration is dangerously low, making common driving situations such as left turns, freeway onramps, and merging into traffic unpredictable and quite hazardous. Honda's only response has been a series of ineffective software updates. Honda will not replace the battery under warranty unless a warning light appears. Yet even the current severely degraded performance of the battery does not trigger that warning light. I have been in several "near miss" situations when acceleration was so sluggish that i was nearly unable to evade a dangerous traffic situation.
The sun visor on the driver's side broke in july 2015 along the joint where the rod runs through it. Had gone to a friend's house, and when i went back out to my car, the sun visor was broken. Nothing else had happened to the car; just the broken sun visor. Sun visor now constantly hangs down vertically, obstructing view. Only temporary solution is pushing the visor to the side, but that obstructs the view of traffic on the side of the vehicle. Problem occurred about one year outside honda's extended warranty for the visor. Not sure what to do.
I bought my 2007 honda civic coupe last febuary( haven't had problems until tonight car is leaking right there at the seams of the rear air bags and roof meet, the right side, water running down the sides onto the seat, discovered the other side was leaking at the same place but not as bad . Feel a cool breeze from both sides. Left side in the front where plastic and fabric meet at the top was leaking as well,the interior is soaked through. Obviously theres a problem with the seal or something but i am absolutitly furious about this situation,i did not spend $25,000 etc. In cash,for my damm car to leak a river,thats something i would expect from my 35 year old house,not my under a year old car. And a simple cleaning from a detailer is not gonna fix my problem. I am so pissed i can't even begin to express it. I just want to get this problem resolved even if that results in getting a new car and starting over again,cause the way i see it is that my car is damaged goods, yes you can fix the problem (maybe) but theres already water damage and who's knows how far the water has gone or what it has leaked into and if it is to be fixed who do i know it won't happen again.i don't exactly have a lot of money, by buying this car it is a hugepart of me that has to last and is the most expensive thing i own i will probably never have this chance to own a new car again and i'm not gonna let this slip by like its nothing. I didn't know who exactaly is in charge or who to go to so if chance be you can't help me i'm sure you can direct me to someone who can correct it. Feel free to forward this message to anyone who can help me.please contact me a.s.a.p before i have a small pond, river or lake in my car(and at that time the damage will already have been done).
The passenger visor will not go back up and hangs down which could have an effect if the passenger airbag deploys, the visor might snap if it is forced back up and visibility could be a problem if the sun comes in that way.i have major concerns for deployment of the passenger airbag. The visor is stationary and in motion on the highway and on city streets as well as turning on all roads
Car lost over 15 mpg for a number of months, extreme decrease in acceleration necessary for car to safely merge or turn into traffic, on multiple occasions, car would not accelerate over 35-40 mph when entering interstate traffic, ima and check engine lights eventually came on, complete failure of the ima batter module, module replaced under warranty, but software has been reprogrammed, car still has less power and a loss of approx 10 mpg, honda states there is no fix at this time, but that car is operating as designed
Driver side visor broken. Dangles and dangerously blocks driver's vision. It was part of recall in 2012. Had it repaired by honda 2/7/2012 as instructed. It has failed again...same exact problem. Notified honda but was advised out of warranty. My opinion is warranty should not expire on a known defective part. They simply installed another visor of the same design knowing that it too would fail.
The visors on both the passenger and driver side split in half and were hanging down. This caused the visors to block my field of vision and made driving more hazardous. There were no warnings prior to failure; however, i found online that this is a known problem (https://considertheconsumer.com/class-action-settlements/honda-civic-visor-recall-settlement). Honda did not contact me concerning the recall and i did not find out about it until i googled the information.
Defective engine and transmission mounts. A design issue that has many owners repairing (cost of $800) mounts at 65-85,000 miles. Car vibrates after the car is cold especially when in reverse. After engine warms up, the vibrations dissappear except when the gas is released and engine breaking occurs. If clutch is dissengagued the vibrations decrease. This issue is as common as the visor problem from a couple years back and is a known design flaw from the factory. Issue occurs over vehicle life after 65,000 miles
Increasingly worse rear tire noise. Dealer says normal. Eventual first oil change and dealer admits to tech. Svc. Bulletin. 4hrs labor (no loaner) and hard sell to replace tires for $300 aprox. Since this was my fault(?) sun visor failed and has become a hazard with no remedy available, only another defective visor.
My sun visors have cracked/split at the top on both the driver and passenger side.they will not stay up and block my vision so that i have to turn them to the side facing the doors while driving.i had them both replaced while under warranty on september 13, 2008. They broke exactly the same way again this summer(2010).the visors are not able to withstand the heat and seem to melt and burst at the seam in the summer months.

2007 honda civic. Consumer has issues about the blind spot on the driver and passenger's side of the vehicle. *njthe consumer stated the blind spot occurred between the vertical and the slanted front beams.
Driver window won't go up or down and there is a very strong plastic type smell.the smell was so strong that we immediately became dizzy even with the passenger window down & sunroof wide open.we drove less than a mile.it has been over an hour and we are still feeling nauseous, dizzy and weak in the knees.i am afraid to drive it again because i believe we would have passed out if driven further. No check lights came on, no previous indication of a problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.whenever the contact drives the vehicle and depresses the brake or accelerator pedals, she hears a sound as if water is rushing forward and backwards.she stated that the sound appeared to be coming from under the trunk.when taken to the dealer, they kept the vehicle for a week, but did not repair or diagnose the vehicle.the contact was informed that this was a normal occurrence.when the window is closed and the vehicle is placed into park, she can hear the sound more clearly as if she is in a boat.the failure mileage was 13,595.

This report deals with a recurring problem with my honda civic. In 2009, i took my honda to the local dealership due to the console between the front seats becoming extremely hot, so hot in fact, that i could not touch the emergency brake.the dealership said that it was fixed, however, a year to the month later, the same thing happened when the heat was again turned on.the dealership said that they could not brace the heat line to anything, that they would have to "wad up something" to have it rest upon.i am very dissatisfied with the many recalls and now this situation that keeps surfacing.when will this happen again, if it has already occurred twice.
Driver side visor started to getting stuck and loose before completely falling off the hinge.
The driver's side visor is defective. It appears as though the seal on the hinge for the visor has come undone (not due to any excess force, simply due to general everyday use). The defective hinge on the visor leads to the inability to properly position the visor, when in use, or not in use. When in use, this creates a safety hazard due to obstructing the driver's vision by the visor itself due to inability to properly position the visor (it does not stay in place), or affecting the driver's vision due to not being able to properly shield glare and sun due to the inability to properly position the visor while driving. When not in use, the visor may not stay in place, therefore "flopping" in front of the driver's line of vision. This is a safety concern that, when researched on the internet, is large problem with honda civic owners like myself. This has not yet caused me to have an accident, but i'm trying to be proactive in preventing such an incident. I have tried multiple times to speak with my honda service people, and i've been told this is not covered under warranty. However, the service people have told me they see this complaint "all the time." this is a safety defect that needs to be addressed and properly handled. Thank you for looking into this matter.
Air bag and side air bag symbol warning was coming on and off for atleast a year & now stays on all the time
I have two problems with the 2007 honda civic si that we just bought this month:1) i was told we get am and fm radio reception.i get absolutely no am radio reception and was offered the choice of having honda install xm radio (for $500).i installed it myself for $150, but this all seems like a ploy to get us to buy xm radio from them.2) every day there is a new paint defect to notice.my hood looks like it has freckles at this point.needless to say, i'll never patronize the honda corporation ever again.jason [email protected](845) 452-2537
A/c stopped cooling. Took my '07 civic (fewer than 6500 miles) to a honda dealership and was told a rock damaged my condenser. Repairs are estimated at $550. Got the best warranty i could when i bought the car and it still won't cover it due to "physical damage". After some research on the topic, i've noticed countless websites and blogs concerning this issue. Seems like a textbook design flaw to me. I can't believe honda, who "stands for quality" would like something like this keep happening to their customers. I'm going with the camry next time.
Paint falure
Pulley bolt malfunctioned causing water pump to break while also damaging the drive belt.
I own two 2007 honda civic lx coupe & sedan with15,000 miles and coupe with 30,000 miles. Both cars have the same sun visor problem. It breaks and will not stay in up postion. The visor could suddenly fall in front of the driver and cause an accident.
2007 honda civic has a reflection of the dash board onto the windshield causing a distraction.the consumer stated depending on the angle of the sun, there was a reflection that made it difficult to read the instrument panel.
I was pulling into a parking space (turning right into it and parking between cars), was almost at a full stop, about to straighten the wheels and put the car in park, when the engine accelerated to full speed.it jumped the little curb at the front of the parking space and went through a shop window at an angle, wedging in the doorway.it left acceleration marks on the sidewalk after jumping the curb, and the wheels were still spinning in the doorway until i turned the car off.the car was repaired, then towed to the honda dealership, where it was tested, but they were unable to reproduce the problem. I never drove it again.
Throttle lag. Immediately upon purchasing and driving the honda civic ex 2007 there was a delay in response from pressing the accelerator to increasing the engine's rpms. There was a distinct difference between the car that was test driven and the car that was purchased. The dealer originally acknowledged the throttle lag between the two cars. They contacted honda canada and were told to properly "break in" the engine. This consisted of lugging the car in fifth gear (manual transmission) up a hill for approx 100 kilometers. They felt that the engine was tight and that this might help the throttle lag problem. It did, marginally. Further contact with honda canada was met with a response that throttle lag was a characteristic of the car and the drive by wire throttle system. Apparently throttle lag in drive by wire is not uncommon and there are some after market parts (sprint booster) to help the problem but not for honda and they are only available in europe. The dealer suggested that perhaps it is a software issue but no software fix has been available through honda canada. There is most definitely a problem between the sending and receiving unit in the drive by wire system. This problem is more pronounced in some civics than others. Although mine is pronounced, honda canada does not see it as a problem. It is most obvious on a steep hill where you must use the hand brake to keep from rolling backwards as there is approximately a one second delay between the time you press the gas peddle and the engine responds. Also if you tap the accelerator while downshifting the rpms will not increase at all.

I bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid from a certified honda dealership.the design flaw of the rear tire arms of the vehicle caused the tire arm to rub on the tires of the car until the tires were nearly bald causing the car to shutter and the structure of the tires to weaken endangering me and my passengers.when i took the car to honda, i was forced to replace the tires prematurely 2 times since owning the car due to the irregular wear on the tires.honda did not notify me of the problem, refused to pay for new tires but finally admitted after the second pair of tires were rubbed bald, that the tire arm of the car was causing damage to the tires.they repaired the tire arm, but would not pay for new tires.the transmission of the car is also flawed in design.occasionally when accelerating, the gas pedal of the car can be pushed to the floor and the car will not continue to accelerate and will loose power.this has happened at stop lights, entering the freeway, and going up hills endangering my life and the lives of my passengers.honda again, did not notify me of the problem, but told me when i brought the car in after experiencing the problems that i needed an upgrade to my computer and that those upgrades may fix the problem. Those updates to the computers effect the battery of the hybrid part of the car's engine. Those batteries are loosing the ability to hold a chargeand causing the transmission to fail because the car relies on that battery power to run the engine.the gas mileageof the car has also been steadily declining.when the car was new, it got 45 mpg and honda advertised it get 50 mpg, the car now gets around 33 mpg.the computer updates are changing the way the car runs off of gas and battery power and honda is not replacing the faulty batteries.this has endangered my life and the lives of my passengers because the faulty batteries effect how the car operates.

Vehicle accelerating and rpm's racing while idle, and while driving.
I had the software updated in my 07 civic hybrid in august 2010.since the update the car has no electric assist when the battery is half full or less.my battery is in this state at least half of the time and honda tells me that it is normal and that the lack of power when accelerating is the result of the update.this has made the car feel very unsafe to drive, especially when pulling onto the highway.i was almost rear ended the last week in august pulling on the highway because my car had no pickup as a result of this update.
I have honda civic si 2007. I have been experiencing a problem with 3rd gear. It pops out and sometimes it's hard to get it in the 3dr gear. The problem happened more frequently when the weather is cool and it's intermediate.it could happen 2 times a day or 2 times a week depending on the weather/driving time and conditions. I took my car to the honda dealership in mahwah, nj (as i been told carhas been taking for the test drive 7 times and total 22 miles on it)and nanuet, ny(2 times total 10 miles) and i also called honda of america to file a complaint about it 3 times(case # [xxx]). As a result dealerships couldn't replicate the problem and honda of america only can advise me to go to the different dealership. I have extended warranty on this car it will expire in august 2013 and as i was told at honda of america it becomes my problem after warranty will expire. This is the worst costumer care service owning a car i have ever experienced, and it's honda.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a 2007 honda civic lx with 36,000 miles. I was turning left into a parking space going very slowly (<5 mph) when my vehicle suddenly accelerated. My foot was not on the gas pedal.i slammed on the brakes and the car continued to accelerate and i hit a curb which then caused the car to stop its acceleration. The brakes did not make too much difference as the car was continuing to move forward and rpms continued to increase as i tried to brake. Previously, i had aproblem with high rpm's and increased acceleration and rough idling at 34000 miles.i took it to the dealer who replaced the engine mountwhich i found out was under my powertrain warranty. I have also had the battery replaced. Other than that, those are the only issues i have experienced until today. I called the dealer and they said it must be operator error, but why would the car continue to accelerate with my foot on the brakes? i checked the mat as well and it had not become entangled with the gas pedal as the dealer suggested. The car moving forward at high rpms by itself is a concern. I am happy that i did not have an accident or hit a pedestrian. I am filing this complaint because i believe that this is a serious issue with my vehicle and as i researched, i am finding that others are having the same issue as i am under some of the same circumstances. I am afraid to drive my car!
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly increased to 7,000 rpms. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection who informed the contact that they were unable to actually explain why it happened. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.
I was driving and all of a sudden my vsa abs and emergency brake lights came on??? i pulled over and shut down my car then it disappeared please help me with this issue i notice there was a recall for 06 civics about wheel speed sensor... This is probably due to this? i heard alot from forums that this can cause this? please help us all with this issue and fix this...thanks
Was approaching traffic light traveling behind other vehicles and braking in preparation to stop, when vehicle engine began to ram up and down while my foot remains on brake. I shifted gear to park and engine continued to rush up and down. I turned engine off, and then back on and the engine continued to rush up and down. I again turned engine off and then on and engine still rushed up and down. I turned engine off and then on again. Engine began to rush, but then returned to normal operation. I was very concerned and excited concerning potential recurrence leading to serious accident. Immediately took car to honda dealer ship, explained situation. Dealer supposedly inspected and found no cause or explanation for problem. I reported problem in writing to american honda auto corp. Customer. Service. (this had occurredon 2 other occasions with minimal or momentary effect, thinking it was not a serious issue. This most recent case proved otherwise.
2007 honda civic.consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden acceleration accident.the consumer stated she heard a loud revving sound coming from the engine. The vehicle suddenly accelerated, crossed over the concrete parking median and hit a motorist.the consumer stated her foot was not on accelerator pedal, but was on the brake the entire time. Both vehicles suffered damaged. However, the consumers vehicle was declared a loss.
2007 honda civic, unintended acceleration has occurred 2 times while sitting in traffic with foot on brake, no interference from floor mat, car in drive.1st time car had been driven 45 minutes, 2nd time only about 5 minutes. No parts have been replaced, but idle has been "relearned", and other software elements have been reinstalled.so far, technicians have not identified cause of unintended acceleration.because it fortunately happened while driver's foot was on brake, no damage occurred, since driver was able to hold car in position until it was turned off the first time.car was racing for about 10-15 seconds before turned off.when turned back on with car in park, the engine still raced for a couple of seconds then came back to normal idle and driver was able to drive to destination with no further problem.car was taken the next morning to dealership and kept for two weeks while technicians tested it, drove it over 500 miles, had factory technicians come, and performed updates and reinstallations listed above.the car was declared safe and running according to honda specs, so owner took back the car.week later it happened again. 2nd time, driver was able to put car in neutral, at which point rpms rose to over 5000, then dropped back to normal idle.currently car is being checked at dealership again.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid. The contact stated that there was a loss of acceleration capabilities which occurred after software upgrade. The contact stated that when he was unable to accelerate on any surface unless it was flat and usually within the city limits. The contact called the dealer who offered no assistance. The contact called the manufacturer several times who also offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the contact noticed that the vehicle never became warm.the vehicle wasidlinghigh.the vehicle madea bumping noise.the contacthad to activate thebrake in order to decelerate.the honda dealer placed the vehicle on the diagnostic machine and determined the high idling failure, but could not repair the vehicle.the contact drove another vehicle of the same year, make, and model and that vehicle did not have any failure.the technician stated that the idle speed wascontrolled by the computer which didnot have a sensor.this wasthe reason why they could not assist her. The current mileagewas 615, and failure mileage was 23.updated 05/21/07.
-the contact has a 2007 honda civic with an odometer reading of 2400 miles, when turningthe steering wheel at low speeds, approximately 5 mph, the vehicle will accelerate. The contact stated the this happenedin forward and reverse. He has called the manufacturer, and they could not find the cause of theproblem with the vehicle and stated that it was operating as designed. The contact stated that it always happened and becameworse in cold weather.
I was almost in a serious accident as i went to make a right hand turn, and the car only accelerated at about 1/4 of its normal pace.i had to look down to make sure my foot was on the gas.when this acceleration failure occurred, the battery showed no charge, but it had shown almost a full charge when i first started the car, just a few minutes earlier.my car now cannot hold a charge at all.i park it fully charged, and when i start, it shows fully charged.within the first mile of driving, it drops to 1 or no bars.it then has trouble accelerating, as the car cannot pull from the ima and it tries to charge the ima, instead of accelerating.this failure is now occurring daily.it is very difficult to drive to work, as i don't know when i can merge onto interstate and if the car will fail.it is usually fine after about 10 miles of driving, but my commute is only 12 miles, so i would say this makes a very large % of my commute dangerous.the service department updated software, but this has not improved the situation at all.i am keeping a journal of these daily activities, as the ima is still under warranty.my gas mileage dropped 20% over the past year, even though i do use ethanol free gas.this was the first indication there was a problem with the ima, but honda simply gave me the brush off everytime i expressed a concern that this was an early sign that something was wrong.
I have a 2007 honda civic hybrid, on august 17,2007 as i was entering a parking space the accelerator stuck and i hit a small truck that was parked in the front spot.there was minimal damage to the truck but my car sustained over $7000.00 in damages. I was just glad there were no people between my car and the truck, since they could have sustained fatal injuries. I was only slightly injured but i am concerned this is a problem with these cars that should be addressed.the dealer denied any problems.
The sun visor cracked a few months ago and will not return to the upright position.i have seen several websites where this seems to be a manufacturing defect for several model years that honda has not chosen to respond to.it is not a visibility issue for me, i am under 5'4" but it does affect the line of vision for my boyfriend who is 6'.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the windshield wipers malfunctioned and would operate without being activated. The contact referenced a technical service bulletin (nhtsa item number: 07-071: visibility:windshield wiper/washer:motor) and the dealer confirmed the tsb but advised that the motor would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 36,600.
I have a 2007 honda civic coupe and both the passenger and driver sun visors have become loose and hang down in the way constantly. The driver side visor has now detached and is of no use for blocking sunlight. There have been many times that my vision as a driver has been compromised due to the lack of protection from the sun visor. I feel extremely unsafe driving in direct sunlight, even with the protection of sunglasses. The passenger side visor seems as though it will eventually detach as well. The failure has not been corrected, as it happened just after my car wasn't under warranty anymore. The replacement of these visors will cost $75 each and my honda dealership doesn't guarantee that the new visors won't have the same problems that the old ones had. I have done research and many other civic owners are having the same issue with the visors. It is imperative that honda corrects this problem and has a recall for the sun visors, otherwise as a consumer concerned about my safety, i will not want to purchase another honda.
The driver's side sun visor of my 2007 honda civic has suddenly split and will not stay up.it hangs down obstructing my view of the road-a safety hazard.it doesn't stay all the way up or down.it has split at the plastic seam & the spring mechanism seems to be broken.this sun visor was replaced by the dealer when i bought the car new, as the color was tan and my car is grey.my car is no longer under warranty & i am taking it to the dealer for a replacement.this seems to be a problem related to heat in the cabin.i live in the south but leave my front windows open 2 inches as i have side visors & do not park in a garage.
The driver's side sun visor on my 2007 honda civic ex 2 door suddenly burst open, it will not go in the up position now.it is a hazard with night driving since it won't go up.this should be a safety recall.
While driving my 2007 honda civic coupe at approximately 70 mph on highway 67 south near newport, ar, my rear window flew off the car. Luckily, there were no cars behind me at the time.after some quick research, there were a number of complaints regarding this happening on the 2006 honda civic coupe.it appears that there is little to no adhesive where the rear window used to be.i talked to honda and they said that they would not cover the cost to replace the window because my car has 43k miles on it.
2007 honda civic ex coupe. Consumer states driver's side sun visor broke *tgw
I own a 2007 honda civic with 40,000 miles on it.the sunvisors on this vehicle are complete junk.i already had the oem sunvisors replaced, and now the replacements have broken in exactly the same way. The honda dealer attempted to tell me that it was my fault the visors had broken, when it is extremely obvious that in fact they melt every time the temperature goes over 90 in my area.i have found numerous complaints of this exact same issue online and would like to let you know that it is not just a problem in the southwest.having a sunvisor flop into your eyes/line of vision or not being able to properly block sun from your vision are both safety issues.it is completely irresponsible of honda not to replace something as inexpensive as a sunvisor at their own expense.
Sunvisor on the drivers side just hangs down and blocks drivers view of the road.it will not stay up out of the way.
2007 honda civic driver's side visor split and no longer lays flat against the roof, creating a visibility problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the front driver's side sun visor was repaired per an unknown recall. After the repair, the visor fractured. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 244,000.
At issue is driver's side sun visor for 2007 honda, per service department at dealership, there is a defect in manufacturing that lead toa separation of the visor on the seam so that the visor does not go up and stay up causing issues with visibility. While driving, seam separated further while trying to hold up the visor to see a road sign which led to the visor hanging down in the middle of the windshield while driving on an expressway. I was able to pull it off of the hinge and toss it on the seat averting an accident. Per service desk personnel, no improvement in the part has been made by honda to date.as per review of blogs on the internet, some owners have replaced the visors multiple times.
Honda civic sun visors, split, break and lose their ability to stay fixed while driving.i'm in need in replacing my 3rd sun visor.the visors on the honda civic drops and obstructs a clear view when driving and is a major safety concern.honda dealers tell consumers that it's due to heat in the area where i live, but there are many websites listing complaints from with other honda owners who live in an areas with cooler temperatures.regardless of where one resides, i am uncomfortable driving my car with fear that the visor will drop without warning, startle me and obstruct my view.how does one get through to the honda manufacturer that this is a major problem that must be resolved, not just replaced at the owner's expense.
There were no signs that my daughter's driver's side sun visor, while driving, was going to break, and hang down in front of her eyes, blocking her view of the road.if this is not a safety issue, then what is?after searching the web and noticing the increasing number of complaints related to this issue, and calling my local dealer, only to be told that, since my warranty had expired, i would be responsible for honda's problem.i knew i had to do something to not only protect my daughter, but also protect other consumers experiencing the same problem.if you're reading this, please take the time to file a complaint with honda usa at 1-800-999-1009 and dot's, nhtsa at 1-888-327-4236.the only way,we as consumers, are going to be able to make honda do anything to correct their problem, is to file a complaint with the proper regulatory agency.it upsets me, to know, that honda, knowing they have a defective part, will not look out for the safety of their customers, and step up to the plate, and correct this problem they created.my local dealer told me that since my warranty had expired, it would cost me $100.00to replace the sun visor.i informed him that i will make a call to the above-listed numbers, and we will proceed from there.please make the calls if you're experiencing this problem.do not allow honda to get away with, not only a safety issue, but also making us pay for their defective product.this could have been a dangerous situation.make sure you select "visibility", under the components name, located on the vehicle information page, of this complaint form.
Driver's sun visor split apart at the top seam, with the inner spring sticking out so it won't go back into place without (for now) using both hands to squeeze everything back in and try to reposition, otherwise it just hangs down and blocks view. Cannot safely lower the visor to use, so driving looking into the sun etc becomes hazardous.searched online to see if this was a design problem, and after reading posts from a few hundred different owners with the same problem (many have had the visors replaced multiple times), i gave up reading the other posts..
I purchased a 2007 honda civic in late may 2007.in sept 2008, the sun visor on the driver's side broke.when i contacted honda they stated that this problem always occurs in warm climates.the sun visor will malfunction in warm climates and it is clear that this is a problem on a large scale that should be corrected by honda.i contacted honda and they said until the nhtsa officially recalls the visors, they are under no obligation to do so.early this month in may, the passenger sun visor broke inthe same manner.honda is currently stating that they cannot cover this under warranty because the car has exceed its mileage limit of 36,000 miles.however, this equipment failure is not related to mileage but in fact they have acknowledged that the part in the sun visor will break in all warm climates.
2007 honda civic drivers side sun visor cracked/popped apart causing an inability to push it up all the way, obscured view while driving; car is only 3 years old with ~29,000 miles on it; found it this way after it had been parked at the airport for 2.5 days; called honda america and was given a case number and then told i had 5 days to go to a honda dealer to "diagnose" the problem and a case manager would call me but there was no guarantee they would do anything about this....there are many complaints about this online and it's a safety hazard and there should be a recall.
Putting down my sun visor caused something to crack, and now it will not go up and it is constantly blurring my vision and i have to tape it to the roof of my car. Nothing has been done to fix it. This is a common occurrence with the vehicle in question.
The visor on the driver side in 2007 honda civic lx model is made of cheap plastic and cracks open if you happen to pull it down and put it back up frequently. Once it cracks open it will not stay up again and hangs loose down obstructing the driver's view. It hangs down and very annoying while driving as front view is obstructed because of loose hanging visor. My car is just one and half year old and it has already cracked open twice. Last time when the dealer replaced it since it is under warranty it cracked open in just couple months. If this problem is not fixed it will become a safety hazard as people can not go on buying and replacing the visor every month and in the absence may get involved in car accidents due to vision getting blocked with visor.
Sunvisors:the sun visors on this car fell apart without any damage to them.either the visor completely fell out or the visor will not stay up causing an obstruction/distraction while driving.there has been a recall on the 2008 models; however, there are problems with this year as well.
Driver's side sun visor split open and blocks line of sight because it won't stay up or at any angle and goes straight down, blocking the visibility of street lights especially. I have to go into honda to have it fixed now and don't know if my warranty covers a simple sun visor or not, but if not i have seen reports online that this is going to cost me about $100. I could use the "in this tough economy" line, but regardless of the economy who wants to spend $100 on something so simple and silly as a faulty sun visor because a multi-billion dollar corporation doesn't want to spend a few bucks of their money on making this right? sorry this got a little editorial but it is just frustrating.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated the driver side sun visor would not remain secure in an upward position. The contact stated the defective sun visor obstructed the visibility. The sun visor was detached from the support mount. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired at the time of the complaint. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was unknown.
The honda 07 civic sun visors are defective and must be recalled! the heat causes the visors to crack and become suspended in the down position. After it cracks it will not lock in the up position. The honda dealership admits this is a common problem and i must pay to have it fixed now that my warranty has expired! this will be the second time i've replaced both visors.
The sunvisor in my 2007 honda civic split at the seams and will no longer stay up. It hangs down into my field of vision. I have talked to several other honda owners and the same thing has happened to them- and with replacement parts that they have purchased. Apparently the honda sunvisors break in high heat. Mine exploded on july 24- when the heat was in the 100s.
Plastic driver's side sun visor separated at seam during warm weather and no longer maintained up or down position. Visor became an obstruction to the driver's vision and could only be removed from view with constant pressure or complete removal.
2007 honda civic exsun visor broken where it attaches to the ceiling of the car. My car is still under warranty and i have had both sun visors replaced atotal of 4 times. After it breaks, i have had to have it replaced immediately because it causes a huge issue with visibility on the road.not so much during the day but very much at night to the point where it is extremely annoying to drive with it at night.
2007 honda civic ex, driver and passenger sun visor breaks and flops/hangs down obstructing vision.occurred on drivers side first - replaced under warranty, passenger side occurred a year later but not replaced because not under warranty anymore.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the front driver side window fractured within the track of the door and was not able to close. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Sun visor attachment fails (the visor splits apart) and falls into line of sight.the visor will not stay up.replacement visors do the same thing.i have had the visor replaced 3 times.
The driver's side sun visor in my 2007 honda civic has split at the seam twice, and i have had it replaced by my local honda dealer both times. It starts to split slowly, but with each use gets gradually worse until itjust hangs limply, obstructing my view of the road. The 2nd time it was replaced, honda said i was out of warranty and would not fully pay for the replacement part (this was in the span of approx. 1 year). When the visor was broken, i had several near-wrecks due to the visor being directly in my view of the road. It is dangerous because as a driver, you either have to accept that the sun will be in your eyes and will block your view or the visor will be in your way and obstruct your view. This is an every-day occurrence, as a visor is used almost daily. The second time i had it replaced, i took a binder clip (found at any office supply store) and clipped it over the seam to keep it held together. I have not had the problem of the seam splitting since i have put the clip there, but this should not be happening, and i should not have to hold my 2007 vehicle together with a paper clip.
The sun visor is broken in my 2007 honda civic ex.when it first happened, i was able to muscle it up into the proper closed position, but since i park in the sun, and need to use a sun shade, i need to put down the sun shade, then muscle it back into the closed position again.this morning as i put down the shade, i heard a loud cracking sound, and saw that the shade is falling apart now, with broken pieces of plastic now falling out of the shade.this is a design flaw that several others have reported.i have a 100 mile commute to work, so the car was long out of warranty when this first happened, based on mileage, and i can't afford to have this repaired at my cost, so i will have to attempt to repair it myself, as there has been no recall initiated by honda for this extremely common issue.
(1) recurrent (2) driver-side visor defect rendering it inoperable. Due for another replacement on july 7, 20082) power steering leaks (2). Due for another repair/replacement on july 7, 2008.
The sun visor (passenger side) on my 2007 honda civic si split open in the hot sun while sitting in the driveway. It is not repairable and will not stay in the upright position.
Sun visor in 2007 honda civic splits at seam and falls in to line of sight.the visor can no longer be locked in place, it continuously falls in to the line of sight.
2007 honda civic visor is defective, splits, falls down and obstructs driver's view and can cause accident. Safety issue. Honda replaced once. Now failed again. Claims not under warranty-not a safety issue. What do i do with my 16 yr. Old daughter when this happens while she is driving? please make this a recall. Otherwise, i'll be replacing twice a year forever. Thank you so much.
Cpsc# i1160082a2007 honda civic ex coupe driver's side sunvisor broke off.*ln
I have purchased the brand new march 2007 honda civic on may 2007.the driver's side sun visor is broken and does not remain in up position nor remain on the side. This is a driving hazard as it blocks and obstructs the driver's view, and will hit the driver with vehicle movement. It causes a huge issue with visibility on the road. Not so much during the day but very much at night to the point where it is extremely annoying to drive with it at night.it is under warranty for three years but car driven more then 30,000 miles. When i go to schaumburg honda they said it is never covered under warranty because it is wear & tear.i also have bumper to bumperwarranty even though they did not care to verify warranty and quoted me parts $65.00 and installation charge $36.00.

The visor on my 2007 honda civic broke and is now hanging down in my line of sight.this is extremely dangerous.i've done some research and found forums where many people are having the same issue.there should really be a recall because this issue can cause major accidents!
The driver side interior sun visor came apart and came down into the driver's line of sight for no apparent reason. Further inspection indicated that it had split at the seam near the left side with internal damage to the visor rendering it beyond repair.
Sun visor on driver's side splits open causing it to sag and block the drivers view. There is no way to make it stay up.
At less than 50k miles on my 2007 honda civic ex my windshield wipers started acting erratic.they would not respond to the control, as in they would not turn off when turned to the off position, the delay function was not working, and would not turn on sometimes.when this happened there were times when i could not see due to rain, and the wipers not working properly, and also when i could not clean the dirt, salt and other road gunk off the windshield because they would not work. I took the car into the dealership where they charged me hundred of dollars to replace the windshield wiper motor assembly, when this was obviously a defective part to begin with.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated thatthe sun visors were warped and would continuously swing down and flap back and forth, obstructing the driver's view of the roadway. The engine would also overheat frequently and the engine block was cracked.in addition, the temperature gauges would not properly monitor the engine temperature. The engine rpms would often exhibit and abnormal increase. On one occasion while exiting the highway on an incline, the vehicle stalled and began to roll backward on the ramp. The contact barely missed crashing into a tractor trailer. The manufacturer advised taking the vehicle to a dealer for diagnostics testing. The manufacturer also stated they would cover ninety percent of the engine block repairs. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. The vehicle had been in the possession of the dealer for over one month. The current and failure mileages were approximately 74,900.
Drivers side sun visor broken and dangles.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the drivers side sun visors fractured and would not stay in the upright position, causing obstruction to the drivers view of the road. The sun visor was repaired by the dealer. The contact stated that the manufacturer should issue a recall due to the amount of sun visor complaints regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Sun visors crack and break so that they are no longer secure and hang down obstructing the driver's vision.my driver side visor broke approximately 1 year ago and was replaced under warranty (with the same defectively designed visor).it has now broken again (out of warranty).
I own a 2007 honda civic si which has faulty sun visors.the visors appear to be made of two separate pieces which separate apart in the heat.due to this separation, they do not "grip" the little arm which is connected to the ceiling; therefore, the visors cannot be pushed up to the ceiling. No-matter-what the visors drops down and returns to the position it would be to be used (for example, if the sun is in your eyes).. However it is a distraction and a complete nuisance to any driver.i am petite and it obstructs my view; however, if anyone else who is taller than me attempts to drive my vehicle they cannot see straight in front of them because the visor will not stay in place against the ceiling.. Obviously this is a major safety hazard.moreover, the passenger visor separated last week and has the same faulty issue as the driver's side.
The driver's side visor cracked near where it is attached and will no longer stay up, so it falls down into my line of sight.
The driver side sun visor on my 2007 honda civic is defective. The plastic pieces that attach it to the mounting has melted due to the heat inside of the car and causes the visor to not be able to be put back into the upright position. Before it totally broke, it would fall down into my line of vision while driving, since it was not able to be folded back up properly due to the damaged parts. It now hangs partially in my line of vision since it no longer can be folded up properly.i have read countless similar complaints of this happening on other honda civics and it's a shame that honda doesn't consider this a "safety hazard"!
I have owned a honda civic for at least 2 year maybe mores. Its a 2007 model. I had been living in chicago (had moved there) since theend of 2008 (december to be exact-making it almost the beginning of january 2009. I lived there till april2010. We then moved back to texas. I had not had a problem with the visor until a month and a half later before my girlfriends and i left for a trip to dallas. The visor refused to stay up. I have not however had the money to buy a new one until l now. Still i find this very risky and very much of a safety issue.
A sudden collapse of the rear windowthe rear window collapsed upon itself for no apparent reason, filling the back seat with sharp shards of glass.the car was parked in the driveway, the day was clear and bright, and i was standing right behind the car when the rear window started to collapse upon itself.i shudder to think what would have happened to a baby restrained in the back seat if such a glass shower landed on it while driving.i had the rear window replaced at my own cost.my efforts to have the manufacturer reimburse me under the car warranty failed.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving the sun visor broke, which made it difficult to see during the day and in inclement weather. The manufacturer stated that thewarranty expired and the failure should be diagnosed by the dealer. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The failure mileage was 26,000.
Drivers side visor split open falling into face of driver.
2007 honda civic driver's side visor split open just a few months after it was purchased in may 2007. Dealer could not replace right away because visors were on back order because so many had failed.since that time i have made sure visor was never left in the down position, however the visor split open again while in the up position. I was only out of the car for 30 minutes. The mileage is 53000, so it is no longer under warranty. This appears to be a manufacturers defect, especially seeing how many others have had the same experience. Can honda not be made to replace or redesign these visors.
Honda civic models 2006 and 2007 have defective sun visors.there are hundreds, if not thousands, of reported cases online.twice in the past 14 months, i have been driving when my sun visor unexpectedly split at the seam and suddenly fell into my line of sight.both times i was startled and my vision was obstructed while operating the car at speeds exceeding 60 mph.fortunately, i was able to avoid an accident both times.i am on my 3rd visor, but feel uneasy behind the wheel, worried it will happen again.additionally, when waiting for a service appointment, i am forced to drive without a functional visor, and have been temporarily blinded by the sun on more than one occasion.i called honda and spoke with "morris" who readily admitted that this is a common complaint that they receive, but honda was unwilling to do anything on my behalf since my car is no longer under warranty.i still have the last faulty sun visor.
The sun visors on the 2007 honda civic lx are defective.once the hinge breaks, the visor will no longer stay up and it hangs straight down blocking more than one third of the windshield visibility.because my vision is dangerously obstructed i often have to move the visor so that it is against the driver-side window. With the visor in this position, nearly half of the side window visibility is obstructed causing yet a different but equally dangerous hazard. Furthermore, when my visor is against the driver-side window and i have to turn, the visor often hits me in the head.in order to prevent being hit in the head i have to hold the visor in place while turning.your defect is not only a cosmetic nuisance it is also very dangerous.
Driver's side visor cracked and fell apart. Visor will not fall suddenly and obstruct my view.
Broken sun visors impeding drivers and passengers view.lack of movement of internal breaking mechanism causes visor to crack and separate.
Hello,i bought the 2007 honda civicbrand new.the sun visors on both sides busted within 2 months.there was no unusualpressure or use. Given the numbered complaints.i thought this should be escalated.we must have honda resolve the issue definitively and quickly.both for the ongoing safety and the inexplicableresidual cost to the consumer.please let me know what our rights and recourse are.please reference this internet link in regards to the extend of the problem.http://www.usrecallnews.com/2007/09/major-honda-civic-recall-of-2006-and-2007-models.htmlthank you in advance,sharon goh
8th generation honda civic models have a common problem of sun visor hinge failures that cause the visor to always stay in the down position.this is not so much of a problem during the day, but it severely limits the sight of the driver at night.this is a problem with all 8th gen civics, but honda refuses to cover the repair, or to recall the visor.
Driver side sun visor falls down into the line of vision on our 2007 honda civic lx sedan.it appears the visor has become warped and will not stay seated and often falls down into your line of sight out of the front windshield.only recourse is to swing it over towards the door but this is a safety issue and could cause a serious accident as your vision is blocked until the sun visor can be re-located.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the drivers side sun visor was replaced in 2009 after the sun caused the plastic to melt. The sun visor was damaged twice. The manufacturer stated that the warranty would not cover the repair cost and that they would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 49,000.
I purchased my 2007 honda civic new in december 2006.since that time my driver's side overhead visor has broken and failed twice!once in june 2009 and again october 2010.this is unsafe for normal driving because the visor will not remain out of my field of vision when i drive.there is no way to adequately secure the visor out of the field of sight without totally replacing the part.the first time it was repaired by honda for free because it was covered by warranty.now my vehicle is out of warranty and the dealer wants to charge me nearly $100 to repair the visor.this happened under normal driving conditions and during normal use of the vehicle.i have never had a problem of this type with any other vehicle before!this is an obvious quality control manufacturing defect that continues to recur and honda should take responsibility for the repair and replacement of the defective article on behalf of the consumer/customer.i believe this problem warrants investigation and follow up before a serious accident happens due to someone not effecting the repair in a reasonable amount of time due to the prohibitive cost placed on the shoulders of the consumer.
Driver's side visor just fell apart.it was not acting any different and then i went to position it back to its resting position before pulling out of work and it failed.housing has separated which kept the interior workings in place.now the visor has slipped out from around the mechanism and i do not have the ability to position it to assist me in driving safely.
1. It has been a hot summer, and the car is parked in partial shade during the day.2. The seam on the sunvisor at the arm has cracked open rendering the sunvisor ineffective.this is a safety issue because the sunvisor can only be moved while the car is stopped; it requires both hands and some time to move up or down.3. It has not been fixed yet, but honda said that they can replace the part for $60.
2007 honda civic sisun visor separation and hangs in the field of vision.there is a defect in the manufacturing or design of the sun visors of honda civics.the unit breaks apart without warning and will no loger be able to retract out of the drivers field of vision.i repaired the driver's side under warranty, and now the passenger side has become a problem, and hangs straight down with no ability to adjust the position.i have reviewed several sites on the internet to conclude that this is not an isolated error, but a continuing defect.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the sun visor became fractured and it impaired her vision. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised her that the sun visor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000. The current mileage was 87,894.
2007 honda civic ex 4 door (60,000 miles), drivers side sun visor split open at the seam and now hangs down and blocks forward and side line of sight. I believe this to be a safety issue. This happened once earlier when my car was under warranty. The dealer gladly fixed it. My car is now out of warranty and i don't want to pay 100+ bucks for a design issue that i'm not responsible for.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.while driving approximately 45 mph, the driver's side sun visor failed to remain in an elevated secured position.the defective sun visor obstructed the driver's visibility.the failure occurred whenever the vehicle was in motion or stationary.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they replaced the sun visor.the failure mileage was 7,500 and current mileage was 8,000. Updated 08/28/09 updated 08/31/09.
The sun visors on both the driver and passenger side failed.the poor design of the visors is the reason for the failure.the amount of force required to move the sun visor up or down eventually "unwelds" the plastic front from the plastic back.the result is the visor is stuck in the down position resulting in a safety issue.
I am a resident of charleston sc and it gets fairly hot here with summer month temperatures. I have a 2007 honda civic and the sun visors ( both of them) have melted , cracked and broken from my car getting warmer inside while sitting.the visors hang in the line of view for myself and passengers of my vehicle. I feel that this car is fairly new,and a safety issue like this should not be happeningthis is pretty common occurrence after researching this.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving 60 mph, the contact noticed that the driver side sun visor suddenly broke and had obstructed his view. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired when the complaint was filed. The current and failure mileages were approximately 49,000.
Sun visors split in half.once the visors are split, they will not hold a "tucked up" position, but rather will hang down and obstruct the driver's vision.the problem is chronic and there is now a class action lawsuit that has forced the vehicle manufacturer to extend the warranty on the sun visors.however, the broken visors are being replaced by another visor with the same design defect.after a brief period of use, the new sun visor also fails.the vehicle manufacturer needs to create a new design without the flaw and replace the old design with the new design at the manufacturer's expense.
Driving along at 65 mphon the freeway and the driver's side sun visor split open at the "glued" seam and it fell down in my lap, nearly causing me to have a serious accident as it obscured my vision and certainly startled me. There are hundreds if not thousands of complaints about the sun visors on civic's model years 2006-08 all over the internet.
2007 honda civic visors (drivers and passenger sides) break when it gets hot and they flop down unexpectedly interfering with the drivers line of sight.this is the car my daughter drives and i am very concerned about the problem because honda is doing nothing to fix the problem.i live in arizona and the visor can't take the heat.i have had both visors replaced 3 times and they are broken again.aside from the obvious inconvenience, i truly believe this is a safety issue yet the keep putting in the same defective visors.
The sun visors in my 2007 honda civic are defective. The plastic inside the visor weakens and breaks in the heat, and the visor no longer stays in place. It can drop into the driver's line of vision at any time, posing a hazard for visibility when driving. It can no longer be used to block the sun, so visibility is reduced when driving into the sun as well.
I have a 2007 honda civic lx. Hot day, opened the car door and sat down and noticed my sun visor flapped down and busted. Looked online to see if this was a common problem and view hundreds of complaints and the pictures of what happened to my case. Buerkle honda in minnesota wants to charge me 125.00 to fix a problem that was not my fault and is obviously a common problem that they are ignoring.
2007 honda civic, both sun visors have had to be replaced. I have purchased the care brand new march 2007 - and this will be the 4th time getting these replaced, i have called honda's 800 number twice and they just keep telling me i am under warranty. Well, what happens if the thing breaks again while i am driving and get into an accident? this is an issue and i have to drive 60 miles round trip every time i need these replaced. I think honda should look into these visors - this is a safety issue - i live in fl and use my visors everyday. I should not have to have them replaced 4 times within 2 years!
Driver side factory installed (original equipment) visor of 2007 honda civic ex split apart and no longer remains in the fixed upright (flush with ceiling) position, but rather hangs down in views way.this issue occured spontaneously and without force or misuse of feature.this failure is permanent.item will have to be replaced.research easily found many similar experiences from other honda civic owners for this same defect.honda is not claiming responsibility and not correcting the defect without charge.this is indeed a safety hazard.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.the driver and passenger side visors were flipped down.when he attempted to flip the visors up he noticed they were stuck.the dealer replaced the visors but stated that the failure would happen again.the failure mileage was 4,200.the current mileage was 5,300.
1. Nothing happened to lead up to it. It just broke.2. Driver side sun visor split and won't stay up. It is safety issue when driving as it's always falling down and constantly taking my attention away from the road to try and get it to stay up or to the side.3. Tried to find a used one, but no luck. Honda wants me to pay to replace it.
Both sunvisors cracked from the normal southeastern heat after i had had the car about two years.
Driver's side visor was loose and did not stay in the full up or full down position reliably,trouble began a year after delivery and gradually became worse.in june, 2010, the visor suddenly split open and the visor hung loosely and would stay in the up position.i repaired the visor by clamping the split parts together with a u-shaped piece of stainless steel.seems to be holding for now.
The visor is cracked and will not stay up.
The sunvisor on my 07 honda civic cracked and hangs down, obstructing my view (especially of signal lights). This occurred on it's own. I don't pull it down often, so it's received no sort of abuses nor anything that could have possibly caused a break. I researched the part to find a cheap replacement when i discovered that i am among a multitude of people who have experienced the exact same thing! http://www.usrecallnews.com/2007/09/major-honda-civic-recall-of-2006-and-2007-models.htmlthe worst part is that if one does pay for the replacement, then he/she can be nearly certain that it will crack as well.
Windshield wiper does not park itself in the right position when turning off.while driving, sometimes the windshield wiper will stop in the middle of the windshield thus blocking portions of my view.this occurs on several occasions when the outside temperature is below 40 degrees f and raining/snowing.when the wiper fail to park itself in the correct position, it blocks driver's view and could cause an accident. Issue occurred a few times on highway travel and partially block my view of a lane barrier.brought to dealership and dealership could not reproduce problem.
Drivers side visor split open on hot day and will no longer stay up or down. Impacts visibility.
Sun visor has split into and i have no clue why and my third gear is always hard to get into and the rubber seals on the driver door always comes off in the heat of the summer.
I have a 2007 honda civic ex.the drivers side sun visor has split along the hinge line and will not stay in the up position.this blocks my view of the road at unwanted times and has caused me to have instances of blind vision to traffic around me.
2007 honda civic sunvisors break - repeatedly, and hang in view of driver.i have had driver and passenger visor break and understand it is a defect that honda does not recognize or support.honda dealer admits that nearly all honda civics have had this problem.
2007 honda civic sun visor cracks/splits and drops in front of your face while driving..... Very dangerous.common issue for honda civic owners which needs to be addresses by honda. Please see this linkbelow : http://www.civicforums.com/forums/181-8th-gen-honda-civic/296797-sun-visor-split-open.html.
The driver side sunvisor on my 2007 honda civic sedan cracked so it no longer stays up, thus creating a safety hazard. This is the first summer where i've parked my car outside during the day so i believe the part failing is heat related.
The driver side visor fell on my lap and honda replaced it because it was still on warranty.. But now the passenger visor is hanging down but honda wont replace because its out of warranty. The front brakes does wear out around 12k miles after replacing it with the dealer for the 3rd time (honda dont want to admit that they use poor quality pads so you'll keep coming back to them for replacement, they say its the way you drive but i did point out to them that if i drive like a maniac i would have also need to replace my tires which lasted me more than 50k miles) i decided go get an aftermarket ceramic pads and had it installed from pepboys. Its been more than 30k miles and brakes are still fine. The wiper blade on driver side does become sticky on the windshield which leaves unpleasant streak on my windshield.. Even after getting a new wiper it still have the same problem.. I solve this problem by replacing my driver wiper with a shorter one(original is 26" now i have 24").
Broken driver's side sun visor on a 2007 honda civic.many people are experiencing this problem.the broken sun visor will not stay up and causes a safety hazard by limiting the drivers vision of the road.please get honda to recall and redesign these visors, they are terrible and break repeatedly.
The sun visors in my 2007 honda civic are defective.the plastic inside the visor weakens and breaks in the heat, and the visor no longer stays in place.it can drop into the driver's line of vision at any time, posing a hazard for visibility when driving.it can no longer be used to block the sun, so visibility is reduced when driving into the sun as well.
Both sun visors on 07 honda civic ex split, visors will no longer stay in the up position.visors cause a distraction and is a safety issue.you can get them replaced at honda dealership but they give you the same visors that they know are defective and will not last.visors are very cheaply made.
2007 honda civic ex 4 door (120,000 miles), drivers side sun visor split open at the seam and now hangs down and blocks forward and side line of sight.i believe this to be a safety issue.called american honda and they will not replace or warranty the defective part.
Car sits in the sun while at work.i have tinted windows, leave them slightly cracked to get some airflow, and also use a sun shield on the windshield to keep as much heat out as i can.still, the sun visor hinges fail and the visors hang down in your face with no way to get them out of the way except removing them from the car completely.i had one visor replaced under warranty last year, and now both driver/passenger visors are broken in the exact same manner, including the visor that was already replaced once.driving on the highway and having the visor flip down in your face with no way to move it out of the way is a big problem.i'm a pretty tall guy, and the visor is directly in my field of vision when it falls down.holding it up out of the way with one hand, second hand on the wheel, and trying to shift to get off the interstate to remove the visor is no easy task...as far as i can tell, there has been no redesign of this part, so it will continue to happen (seemingly every summer) even if i were to pay to get the visors replaced each year.
1. 2007 honda civic visor split within a month of purchase. It was still functional despite the split, until approximately 9/27/10, when it stopped locking in place and started interfering with visibility. Just learned that many civic owners complain of the same problem.2. At approximately 26,000 miles, windshield spontaneously cracked while parked overnight, yet there was no impact. Crack formed overnight on 9/30/10-10/1/10. Windshield was smooth to the touch from both the outside and inside all along the length and breadth of the crack.
I pulled down the sun visor on the passenger side and a few seconds later my husband pulled down his drivers side)visor in our 2007 honda civic lx and they both cracked and wouldn't go back up. This obstructed our view and made it difficult for him to see the road while driving and posing a safety hazard.
The visor on my honda civic 2007 has cracked and hangs down in my face causing visibility of the road to be greatly diminished. Due to the cracked visor you are unable to get the visor to go back up and stay up so everytime i drive my car i can barely see the road. If i wreck my car due to this error in the make of honda civics i will sue honda for not having a recall on something that is extremely dangerous for myself and all other drivers on the road.
Sun visors for honda civic 2007 coupe crack (both passenger and driver side).
The driver's side sun visor dropped down, blocking me vision (i'm 6'1). It seems to be broken, for no apparent reason and won't go back inplace.
2007 honda civic driver side sun visor keeps breaking i have gone through two already and honda will not replace it for me.
2007 honda civic sun visor fails at the seam and blocks the driver's view. This has happened 8-9 timnes sinec i purchased honda in 2007. Each time the dealer replaces it, but it takes time and is dangerous until it is replaced.can't honda's engineers design a visor?
Driver and passenger side sun visor in our 2007 honda civic breaks in the summer time.it cracks at the joint that mounts to the roof.causes visors to hang down all the time and hamper view.apparently a defect in the materials.
Sunvisor of 2007 honda civic cracked; visor hangs down, impairing vision.
2007 honda civic ex sunvisor broke and it now limits visability.
Paint is peeling on car big areas on roof and car is only 5 yrs old, sunvisor broke into pieces and they wouldn't replace it even though it had a recall on it, and engine mount broke also.
Driver and passenger side sun visor on our 2007 honda sedan exploded and flopped down in our face, which creates a hazard when driving.
A sun visor failed, again.this is the 3rd time.first was the driver's side, second and third, passenger's side.the melting of the visor insides, due to high ambient temperature, is now a known defect to many owners and the dealerships.driving with the sun visor stuck in the down position can be very dangerous when a taller driver is present.also, the issue is not easily mended unless the visor is taken in to be replaced.which was free the first two times, but now costs around $100.
Sun visor on 2007 honda civic fails again in the heat.have purchased replacement visor just to have them fail again in a few months.when they fail at the hinges, it causes the visor to hang down in the line of site, if you remove it, then you don't have any protect from the sun shining in your eyes.honda is very aware of this as there are 1,000's of posting and the dealers all acknowledge that it is an issue.honda needs to come up with a recall and a visor design that works verses just doing nothing...it is a huge safety issue!!
I purchased a new honda civic sedan in 2007. At around 40,000 miles, the driver's side visor has split apart and will not stay up. It flops down making it difficult for me to see the roads. I have not taken the visor to get repaired, but my research shows that this has happened to several other owners of the same type of vehicle.
Our 2007 honda civic sun visor has broken twice.the first time was only a month or so after purchasing brand new from the dealer.when the sun visor breaks, it dangles in front of the driver's view.whether in the front or pushed to the side, the broken sun visor tilts down and dangles in a distracting way which is dangerous for the driver of the civic.the sun visor was very poorly designed by honda.structurally speaking, the torsional resistance required to rotate the visor from the up position to the down position wasn't correctly designed for.the result is that the internal plastic clamps that are supposed to resist all forces from the internally rotating metal arm, fail and after these plastic clamps internally get torn apart, the sun visor dangles oddly in front of the driver and causes a dangerous distraction.this poorly designed sun visor fails very easily under normal use, and gives no warning of distress, before failing suddenly.this sun visor should be recalled and replaced with a correctly designed sun visor that won't brake and cause this safety issue.
Sun visor failed, resulting in reduced visibility.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at any speed, the windshield wiper switch was activated and the windshield wipers stopped in the middle of the windshield and obstructed the contact's visibility. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The issue recurred numerous times. The dealer informed the contact of nhtsa campaign number:08v169000 (visibility); however, the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.
Honda civic 2007 visor pops open and does not grab. Visor floats down into field of vision. Honda not issuing recall they don't believe it is a safety issue. Maybe a lawyer will convince them.
2007 honda civic. Sunvisors split open and hang down in front of the windshield causing the driver tohave full view of the road.
I own a honda civic 4 dr auto transmission, and have issues with poor quality sun visors. The sun visors break apart every summer i have owned vehicle for three years and changed the sun visor atleast thrice till now for no cost. But now i being charged since warranty is over. Why do i have to pay for known quality issue?
I own two 2007 honda civic lx coupe & sedan with15,000 miles and coupe with 30,000 miles. Both cars have the same sun visor problem. It breaks and will not stay in up postion. The visor could suddenly fall in front of the driver and cause an accident.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the front sun visor flipped down while she was driving. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer twice where it was repaired. The failure continued but the vehicle had not been repaired again. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000 and the current mileage was approximately 55,000.
The sun visors (both drivers and passenger ) split at the top seams where they are glued together, making it impossible for visors to stay up; thus obscuring the vision of both the driver and passenger. This is the second time the passenger sun visor has been replaced for the same defect which is a manufacturing, design, and engineering defect. I was advised by several honda employees that numerous sun visors are replaced on a weekly basis for the identical defect, just at one dealership. This is not a dealership issue but a honda issue. It is to be noted that the sun visors were in no way abused or even used that much but the seams just split.i have been in law enforcement for over thirty years and can assure you that this defect not only affects the individuals in the honda with the defective sun visors but other drivers and pedestrians as well, resulting from the obscured vision,i was advised that honda is aware of the defect but continues to use the same sun visors in new vehicles and that they continue to fail by splitting at the seamsthere was no resulting accident, i was advised that the sun visors would have to be returned to honda but i did photograph them and the photos are available. It is to be noted that the service department at the dealership was excellent and that honda did replace them at a reduced cost even though the vehicle had approximately 51,000 miles on it and was out of warranty.
2007 honda civic lx coupe has defective sun visors.at first visor very loose.over time visor would not stay up.this hinders driving and being able to see the traffic signals.now the entire visor has come off as it won't stay on its hinge.now i drive in the morning facing the sun and drive home facing the sun.very difficult to see traffic in front of you with the sun in your face.honda agrees i can get a replacement at my expense but i understand this is a flaw with many honda civic owners.
Sun visor in 2007 lx civic coupe failed in hot weather.the plastic melted and spring broke through so that it does not function and partially obstructs view.replaced the visor the first time in 2008, and the new one broke again in 2009.the part is not under warranty by honda.
Sunvisor on passenger side has split and will not stay up.this is annoying and a safety hazard.the drivers side did the same thing while car was still under warranty therefore honda replaced it for free.this is an ongoing problem for many people i don't understand why honda has not given this issue some attention in redesigning.i guess its a good money maker because the cost is not cheap. This is something you would never think you would have to replace on a car.
The sun visors on the 2007 honda civic lx are defective.once the hinge breaks, the visor will no longer stay up and it hangs straight down blocking more than one third of the windshield visibility.because my vision is dangerously obstructed i often have to move the visor so that it is against the driver-side window. With the visor in this position, nearly half of the side window visibility is obstructed causing yet a different but equally dangerous hazard. Furthermore, when my visor is against the driver-side window and i have to turn, the visor often hits me in the head.in order to prevent being hit in the head i have to hold the visor in place while turning.your defect is not only a cosmetic nuisance it is also very dangerous.
My driver side sun visor in my 2007 honda civic ex suddenly fell from the stored position and wouldn't go back up in place.i was merging onto the interstate when this happened and it came down directly into my line of site and i couldn't see for a moment.my fiance's sister has the same car and it happened to her also.took it to the dealership and asked for a replacement and the service guy said it is a known defect and honda told them not to replace them for free anymore.this to me is a serious safety concern.if you look it up on the internet many people have had the same issue with this.honda knows it is a problem or they wouldn't have redesigned a replacement for it.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic hybrid.the contact stated that the front driver side window would not close properly. The window would derail and bounce back down while attempting to close. The contact stated that the window had to be closed manually. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician stated that the glass and rail would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.updated 06/01/11*ljupdated 1/24/2012 *ln
Driver side sun visor split at the top seam and continues to drop in sight of the windshield. Brought it to honda and they said it would cost $110 + labor.
I took my honda civic lx to get water leaks around the windshield repaired.the mechanic told me i'd be called back to get the entire windshield replaced, however, despite continuous follow up with the dealerships service department they have not done anything to repair my windshield.the latest news i received with run-around calls is that the dealer has to make an appointment with another vendor. I am very worried for my safety. I drive on the highway on a daily basis. Can you help me get this resolved? i've been dealing with pompano beach honda, 5381 north federal highway, pompano beach, fl 33064.
There is a design flaw with 2007 honda civics, which is a potential safety issue.the sun visors split in hot weather, which causes them to no longer be adjustable to block the sun while driving.
Passenger sun visor cracked due to heat and will not stay in up position or correct slanted position for correct visibility.appears to be a common problem on google blog sites where honda is aware of the problem but is ignoring the issue (i.e., replacement part is the same defective part that fails again).
Driver side and passenger side visors fell apart almost like they melted.i don't think they fixed it the first time i brought it in.now they are saying it isn't covered under warranty.they knew the visor design was flawed.now i can't move either visors from my view.
Both driver and passenger sun visors in honda civic 2007 model cracking and falling apart. Hangs and does not go up in the stow position easily without wanting to pop off.blocks driver's view and can no longer do a good job of blocking the sun out of the field of view.this situation can easily lead to a dangerous driving condition.i've reported the problem to honda usa and they are not making a recall or a redesign on this part.so the broken/cracked sun visors are being replaced by new parts that are designed to fail in the future.
My driver side sun visor would not close causing it to hang down. I got into my car smashed my head into the visor causing me pain, and tenderness on the top of my head.
Out of the blue my driver's side visor cracked and i am unable to keep it in the "up" position. It continues to fall down in my field of vision and it is very distracting while i drive.

My wife's hybrid honda civic (2007) while driving, if you open the two back windows, you get this loud whipping of wind sound thru out the car, its an aerodynamics flaw i believe. In any case its annoying to the point where you must roll the windows back up.
Driver's side sun visor cracked along seam and falls down into vision of driver. Can't be restored and you can only get it out of the way by pushing it to the side. It does not remain anchored there and when you turn it moves.
The driver's side sun visor is broken and does not remain in up position nor remain on the side.this is a driving hazard as it blocks and obstructs the driver's view, and will hit the driver with vehicle movement.

The driver's side visor is defective. It appears as though the seal on the hinge for the visor has come undone (not due to any excess force, simply due to general everyday use). The defective hinge on the visor leads to the inability to properly position the visor, when in use, or not in use. When in use, this creates a safety hazard due to obstructing the driver's vision by the visor itself due to inability to properly position the visor (it does not stay in place), or affecting the driver's vision due to not being able to properly shield glare and sun due to the inability to properly position the visor while driving. When not in use, the visor may not stay in place, therefore "flopping" in front of the driver's line of vision. This is a safety concern that, when researched on the internet, is large problem with honda civic owners like myself. This has not yet caused me to have an accident, but i'm trying to be proactive in preventing such an incident. I have tried multiple times to speak with my honda service people, and i've been told this is not covered under warranty. However, the service people have told me they see this complaint "all the time." this is a safety defect that needs to be addressed and properly handled. Thank you for looking into this matter.
I own a 2007 honda civic lx which i purchased from dealer new.recently my driver side sun visor "ruptured" open, and no longer stays in the secure position.it drops down in front of me while driving and obstructs my vision.i am tall, so this is a safety visibility issue for me.apparently honda issued a recall for this issue, and also settled on a class action lawsuit and acknowledged a defect in the visor.however, the recall only extends up to 100,000 miles and i have more than that, so the dealer says honda will not cover it and i will have to pay out of pocket.that isvery wrong, particularly when honda has acknowledged defective part, and it is clearly a safety issue.
Faulty sun visor on drivers side ... Has broke twice ... Visor can not be moved so always hanging straight down ... Can not see street lights ... Have to slide down in the street to see stop signs, etc.
The sun visor in my honda keeps falling apart and sometimes it falls right in front of my face which is a safety issue. I see online this is happening to a lot of honda owners. Can you do anything about it? this is the second visor that went bad. It is very distracting when you are driving.
Drivers side visor fails to return to "up" positionhangs down.
I left my driver side sun visor down and with the heat it split apart. The visor now hangs down in the line of vision while driving and i will have to have it replaced.
Sun visor on 2007 honda civic cracking (driver side).
When the windshield wipers are turned off, they intermittently do not stop (park) at the correct location at the bottom of the windshield or they continue to run.
My 2006 civic hybrid sedan has had 4 sets of sun visors put in it while under warranty. The sun visors break internally and will not go all the way up or down. When this happens the visors hang down about three inches from the front roof line right in the drivers field of view. When trying to place the visor all the way forward it does the same thing and hangs about three inches down in the drivers field of view. My sun visor failures all happened during the summer and the manufacturer has not offered a fix for this part.
I have a 2007 honda civic, and the driver's side sun visor hinge is defective. It broke, and the visor is no longer adjustable -- it just hangs straight down. Judging from the number of complains being registered elsewhere online, this is a very common problem. It is also a safety concern, as i am now blinded by the sun or have the visor blocking my field of vision. I will contact honda to request a free replacement, but as my car is out of warranty, i will probably have to buy a new one.
2007 honda civic sun visor breaks and hangs down blocking drivers vision.
The driver's side sun visor on my 2007 honda civic ex melted on the inside and now will not remain in the up position, making it very difficult to see.
I have a 2007 honda civic lx sedan.the sun visor on both the driver and passenger side has split into two and broken off it's support.i am very concerned about the safety of this vehicle while driving it in this condition.it should be recalled at the manufactures expense!
Passenger side visor failed.the visor cracks and is no longer connected to the rod.this is the second time it has happened.the failure is due to heat from the sun.
I have now owned this vehicle for two years and in that time i have had to have the passenger side sun visor replaced twice to date and today, am taking my car in once again for the driver side sun visor to be repaired for the third time.needlessly to say at this point i am getting quite aggravated with this particular problem.every time one of the visor's break it causes a vision issue for me while i am driving; i commute to work 45 minutes one wayi am told the glue holding the visor in our 100+ degree temperature does not hold.each time it is repaired but does not last.
2007 honda civic sun visors break and will not stay up. Driver cannot see traffic lights without holding the sun visor up with his/her hand. Visor falls back down as soon as it is pushed up. This is a safety issue because the driver's vision is impaired. Driver's visor just broke, while passenger visor also broke a few months ago -- suggests the visors are defective. Car only has 45,000 miles on it.
Sun visor broke. I put my sun visor down to block the sun coming in my eyes, and when i went to lift it back up, it 'snapped' and won't go back up to the locked up right position. I took it to honda while i had my oil change to have them look at it, and they said it would be 100 dollars plus labor to change it. I refused to pay for it, and have since looked and seen many other complaints of the same type. Maybe this should be recalled!
2007 honda civic defect with the sun visors.the consumer stated the plastic that holds the visor to the curved bar attached to the roof seemed to be split because of a design flaw. The design flaw, allowed the sun visors to move freely and not stay in place in the up position and they moved freely about to the right and left in the down position.
The sun visor in my 2007 two door honda has broken and will not stay in place. It gets in the way of my vision and distracts me when trying to drive.the design flaw of the visors in this car is major. It will not stay up and falls down in front of my face.a few times it has caused such a distraction i almost ran off the road trying to keep it out of my face.this occurs every day and i have to move it to the side which bothers me.nothing has been done to correct this failure. I am not paying $100 for a replacement which will only end up failing anyways. Honda needs to own up and make a recall so that this design flaw does not cause crashes or any deaths due to the major distraction it creates to the drivers.
While trying to put my sun visor down i heard something crack, and after that the visor will not stay closed any more. It also happened on the passenger side 2 weeks ago.
Defective sunvisors- fall into line of sight.broke at approx 40,000 miles. First the driver side and about a week later the passenger side. No longer able to keep them out of the way.
2007 honda civic sun visor falls apart in sun.
The driver side sun visor fell apart.this started about a year ago.it started off being annoying.we had to manually hold the visor together to put it up or down.it finally broke apart and can't even be put back on.
The wiper blades on the front windshield will not stop running even after turning the switch to off. If they do decide to stop running, they stop at various points and often stops in the middle of my view making it hard to see around them. The intermittent setting also will change from working to not working (constantly running) following the same stopping issues. I've researched this online and it seems to be a very common issue. Here is an example: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/130742-intermittent-wiper-problem.html
I was driving on the interstate around 9:30pm - 10:00pm in the rain.i had my wipers on, which were working fine for approximately the first 15 minutes of my 40 minute drive.after approximately 15 minutes, the wiper blades occasionally stopped resting at the bottom of the windshield while on intermittent, but would rest slightly higher.they would also wipe the windshield between 3-5 times in a row, when the intermittent was set to wipe once every few seconds.i tried turning the intermittent off and would manually push the wiper bar in the car when needing my windshield cleared, to see if that worked better. I received the same results, with the wiper blades not resting at the bottom of the windshield, and the blades wiping 3-5 times in a row with only one push.about a week later, it rained again, and i experience the same thing as described above, except it happened more frequently than the first time.i was driving in town the second time, instead of the interstate.
On my 2007 civic ex, the driver side visor popped open at the parting line near the hinge and the plastic ribs inside broke. It does not want to snap back into place in any direction (front, back, or side). It hangs so low that it is blocking the view of the road (front windshield and driver side window) at all times. I am very disappointed with honda that it is not listed as a safety concern...because it is.
Honda civic 2007 lx sunvisor manufacturer defect where visor won't stay up and impairs driving visibility.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that the driver's side sun visor cracked and would not remain closed. The sun visor was obstructing the driver's view while driving. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 32,199.
Driver side sun visor is falling apart.why no recall?

Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnywyaxxg8w&feature=youtu.beit should be posted as a massive recall!... This is so dangerous...i was just in the sandy hurricane and i was having issue with my wiper not properly working it stops in the middle of my view??? please is there a recall if not we need to let them know of this!!!https://twitter.com/xghostyxjokerx/status/262999908318052353.
The contact's mother owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact's son noticed that the front window was separated from the frame and that the front bushings of the window frame inadvertently fell down. The contact called mcconnell honda (334-271-2500, 2840 eastern blvd, montgomery, al 36116), but they did not repair windows. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.updated 12/13/2017 *ln
Sun visor falls during driving limiting visibility, especially when getting to an intersection and the traffic light can't be seen. It is a safety an hazardous problem.
1. Safety recall notice indicative of air bag problem. Took to dealer. He said that it has been fixed after an hour of stay for passenger inflator-and whennoticed while driving back, the airbag light came again. Prior to this also, this problem was notified a few years ago, and i got it fixed. Dealer asking money for doing diagnostics and then fixing it. 2. Front and rear bumper clips fixed several times-4 times spending my own money but always a problem.
While driving my windshield wipers would not turn off. Then when they finally did shut off they were parked in the middle of my windshield. They also have turned on randomly while driving. This happened all week and it's been raining. I took it to the honda dealership today and they had to replace the wiper motor which cost $400. After researching online this seems to be a common issue with honda civics and it should be made into a recall as it's unsafe.
Wipers will not park in correct spot blocking visibility, also will not stop and can continue going for minutes on end after being switched off.this is very distracting to my driving. Feel honda should own up to this issue since it is a common problem on many of their vehicles.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving, the passenger side visor fell down and obstructed the contact's view. The dealer diagnosed that the visor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.
When pressing for the wipers to run once, it runs multiple times, and other times, they stop when on the intermittent, low, or high settings. Also when turning off or when they randomly stop they do not stop at the correct position on the window.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at any speed, the windshield wiper switch was activated and the windshield wipers stopped in the middle of the windshield and obstructed the contact's visibility. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The issue recurred numerous times. The dealer informed the contact of nhtsa campaign number:08v169000 (visibility); however, the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.
I went to stow my driver-side sun visor, it split in half and remained about 1" from stowing flat. It then kept deploy an additional 2 to 3 inches resulting in a significant distraction. I went to the internet to see about buying a new one and noticed a recall was in place for this item.i called my honda dealer and he confirmed there was a recall that applied to some 2007 honda civics but that my vin wasn't part of the recall -- despite the fact that it failed in the same way that the recall described.
Takata recall hi i am having several issues with the ignition not wanting to turn for several moments after putting the key inside to start my 2007 honda xivic lx sedan and then all of a sudden the lights and power to the doors and windows work but car won't roll over to start. The car has been flashing a wrench like bar along with what looks like shape of the motor for 2 months as well ad i've just had an oil change done 4 days ago but yet it still reads oil life 5% b1 on the dash which won't clear nothing was wrong with spark plus or anything else under hood from valvoline's stand point when checked other than wipers don't never want to shut off as well. Thank you and regards [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
This has been an ongoing annoying issue. My wipers do not stop in the correct off position. Instead, they'll freeze in various positions on windshield. They also do not wipe at the chosen speed. The functionality is completely abnormal! this needs to be a recall. As i do more research, i see more and more posts about this issue. I'm truly shocked that it's not a recall.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while parked, he lowered the front driver's side sun visor when it suddenly fractured. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
The intermittent wipers stop unexpectedly anywhere on the windshield. The problem persists.
My wipers won't park in the "park location" (they stay in the middle of windshield) and when i press the switch upwards for one swipe, the wipers will continue for multiple cycles and then finally stop in a random spot on the windshield. Occasionally, all three speeds on the switch(hi,med,low), are all the same (low speed). Happens while driving or stationary. Has become a nuisance in very light rain because it will continue once the windshield is dry and can be a potentially dangerous visibility issue for the driver.
There was a recall on the sun visor brought it in had it fixed it was splitting at the top would not stay up happened again same thing happened took it in all they did was put some glue on it took itfor the 3rd time they want me to pay 100.00 to have it fixed this is a problem visor won't stay up splitting again
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, the driver side sun visor became cracked and would not remain closed. The failure was interfering with the driver's view of the roadway. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 30,000.
Wipers do not work properly, stopping and starting random times, and quitting any time, keep going after turned off, can be minutes till they finally stop & stop in random location at random time sometimes stop in middle of windshield directly in the field of view of driver.very very distracting almost caused an accident due to impaired visibility. Honda should have a recal on this .
The passenger visor will not go back up and hangs down which could have an effect if the passenger airbag deploys, the visor might snap if it is forced back up and visibility could be a problem if the sun comes in that way.i have major concerns for deployment of the passenger airbag. The visor is stationary and in motion on the highway and on city streets as well as turning on all roads
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. At various times and in various conditions, the reflective coating on the vehicle's rearview mirror peeled off and continued to peel off. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
When turning the windshield wipers off, they intermittently do not park at the correct location at the bottom of the windshield, or they continue to run. When you try to put it in the park position, it just keeps running, and lands in the middle of the windshield.the symptom is usually more noticeable in colder weather; however, it is difficult to reproduce. If you have a vehicle that reportedly has this symptom, replace the windshield wiper motor cover plate.a honda service bulletin 07-071 dated september 24,2010 identifies this problem and says the windshield wiper motor cover plate is faulty. I have seen hundreds of people complaining about this on internet forums, and this is a huge safety issue. At what point will honda take responsibility for this and recall it? can you help with that? honda did recall '03 accords for a wiper issue. This problem does not meet safety standards and is a safety-related defect. Can you help?
The wiper motor or wiper control module is known to stop working correctly on 2007 honda civic. When the temperature lowers during winter the wipers do not seat correctly and sometimes will not turn off after being used. They will sometimes stop in the middle of the windshield blocking the drivers view until they are moved again. There is no way to make sure that the wipers stop in the correct parked spot. This causes the driverto continue to activate the wipers until they are clear of the field of view. The causes extra wear and tear on the wiper blades, causing the owner of the vehicle to have to purchase more wiper blades than needed. Living in washington state, where it rains quiet a bit, this makes me have to spend extra money on wiper blades. Honda has not issued a recall on the wiper motor. Their suggestion is to have the wiper motor replaced, which i have done once already in the winter of 2013. As of this winter, 2015-2016, the wipers have began to not park correctly after being used again, again blocking the drivers field of view while driving. It would take a short internet search to see that my vehicle is not the only one to have this problem. Honda has already said they will not issue a recall, but i believe this to be a safety issue with my vehicle and other similar models. This safety issue happens all all times with the vehicle, whether it's at slow or highway speeds.
I was driving down the road carefully because i take this road almost everyday. This road has been damaged for a long time now and hasn't been fixed yet. All of a sudden my car hits a huge pot hole, it couldn't have been seen due to how dark this road is at night. Both wheels on the left side popped and my front windshield crack in the middle due to the hard impact.
Windshield wipers just stop in the middle of the windshield when using intermittent setting. Very dangerous when using wipers when driving on highway and wipers just stop working.
The visor cracked open and would not close or stay up, and falls into the vision of driver/passenger, causing visual impairment. The first time happened on the passenger side and was under warranty and replaced on 09/23/2008 at 17534 miles. The second time on the drivers side was replaced on 07/02/2009 on 24484 miles.the third time happened again to the passenger side, and was not replaced, around 35,000 miles.nowit is happening again to the drivers side, at 53,000 miles, again has not been replaced.
Wipers do not parkwhen turned off after use in the appropriate spot. They continue to run for several more cycles until they park in the middle of the windshild. This causes a view obstruction while driving and ultimately distracts the driver.the wipers have to be tunred on and off numerous times so that the wipers end up in the correct position at the bottom of the windshield. Also the continuous running of the wipers when the window is dry results in frequent replacement of the wiper bladesin order to prevent scratching on the windshield by the worn out rubber insert. I believe this is causedby the wiper motor malfunctioning.
The motor of the wiper blades would only work randomly. Even when it was turned off they would not stop. When they did stop they would not be in the right spots. Sometimes they would stop in the middle of the windshield.

3 months after buying vehicle noticed ac running warm. First told by honda carland cartersville that nothing was wrong.took it back to honda carland roswell that freon was low and coolant but no leak.have had continuous problems with ac running hot.yesterday went to grocery store and when i walked backed to car noticed something leaking underneath.tried to get it to car repair place but car immediately ran hot.towed it and they called saying that the engine block has a crack.noticing multiple complaints for 06-07 honda civic engine block cracks with initial problems showing in ac and coolant.
Driver's window moves up and down.i put window up, and it comes down by itself.minor issue is clearcoat paint peeling off of bumper.
Driver side window malfunction on 2007 honda civic hybrid.
A sudden collapse of the rear windowthe rear window collapsed upon itself for no apparent reason, filling the back seat with sharp shards of glass.the car was parked in the driveway, the day was clear and bright, and i was standing right behind the car when the rear window started to collapse upon itself.i shudder to think what would have happened to a baby restrained in the back seat if such a glass shower landed on it while driving.i had the rear window replaced at my own cost.my efforts to have the manufacturer reimburse me under the car warranty failed.
Windshield wipers fail to turn off or when they do turn off fail to park in a lowered position. Vehicle was 500 miles out of warranty.apparently this is a known problem with manufacturer who has issued a tsr on this.dealer filed appeal with district service manager who authorized a replacement of the wiper motor for a courtesy charge of $50 to owner.
When engine is warm and car is at idle (either when stopped at traffic light or when parking before shutdown) and you open/close sun roof and/or power windows the rpms dip, car shakes, and engine almost stalls before rpms recover to normal idle.this has happened at least two dozen times and started happening soon after taking delivery.at approx 400 miles car was taken into dealer and dealer was able to reproduce the problem on my vehicle and also reproduced the problem on other new civics on dealer lot.dealer reset pcm and performed idle relearn procedure.this did not resolve the problem.dealer reported to honda engineering and they had no knowledge of issue and offered no advice.additionally at approx 600 miles after car sat unused all dayand when attempting to start later that night, the car did not start on first attempt.on second attempt and after cranking longer than usual for startup, the car started roughly with a jolt and ran rough (car shaking) for 3-5 seconds.
Driving on the highway, suddenly heard a loud popping noise. Opened up sunroof cover to discover that my sunroof had completely shattered. Nothing hit the glass; it is bowed outwards as if it had become too large for the frame.
The windshield wipers on my 2007 civic have been replaced 4 times since the purchase of the car in october of 2006.the wipers streak so badly that i cannot see out of the windshield safely.upon taking the car back to the dealer, they admit that there is a problem that they have experienced with other vehicles, but that the new wipers are only a temporary fix.they have used several different compounds on the windshield to attempt to "erase" whatever problems are causing this issue.they have used a "clay" that is used in body shops to "scrub" down the window.this works momentarily.there is a bigger issue that honda is not yet addressing.they claim that it is the elements which are responsible for this problem.i refuse to agree with this as this is my 5th new vehicle, and the other 4 had wipers that worked perfectly for over 2 years before needing to be replaced.i am severely annoyed that i've had to keep returning to the dealership and i am still getting no real solution.
I have less than 65,000 miles on my car.it has received regular scheduled maintenance from the honda dealership.after replacing the 4 original michelin tires @ 38,000 miles i have had to replace the rear tires 3 additional times.the car has an extremely loud "humming" noise coming from the rear end. It eats up the rear tires quickly, which cause the car to mishandle.each new set of rear tires wears out more quickly than the previous ones.i just bought the 4th new set of rear tires on 12/18/2011, drove down to the los angeles area from sacramento.when i returned, i went to the tire store where i purchased the new tires, to gage/check out any possible wear that may have occurred on the trip.at less than 1000 miles (850 of these being highway miles), the new rear tires were already down to 8/32.the humming noise is so loud you can not have a normal conversation in the car, or hear a siren for that matter and the steering appears to be/feel loose.i am afraid to drive this car any short/long distance.
While driving heard loud humming noise and the ride was rough.brought vehicle to honda dealership in burlington.they said the tires were badly cupped.needed to replace tires and get an alignment.brought vehicle for a second opinion.mechanic told me honda had technical bulletin in 2008 for uneven wear in rear tires. The rear camber assembly needed to be replaced.cost $250. Honda won't pay for it even though they were aware of the problem and never said anything.add four new tires and wheel alignment and your looking close to $1000. If you don't get it fixed the tires will wear down regardless if you get tire rotations and blow out.luckily no one has dies from this but this shouldn't be the reason for not having a recall.look at the blogs, etc.honda just tells everyone to replace tires and get an alignment.people do and keep coming back to replace tires.honda has hid from this problem.i haven't replaced my tires but if i listened to honda i would have replaced tires and been back again in 20,000-30,000 miles to replace tires. I should not have to pay for a serious problem that honda hid from it's owners.please help.
I have purchased, in the last 5 years, 5 different sets of tires because of cupping' of my rear tires due to a defect in the rear suspension. I was told on 2 occasions by 2 different honda dealers that the problem in my rear suspension had been solved. The last service was 10 months ago; i purchased my fifth set of tires and now have to replace them again.
My rear lower control arms need to be be replaced with the correct ones stamped "c".honda dealersin southern california are refusing to correct the mistake at no cost to me. Please help!
When i originally purchased this vehicle at $14,000 miles i immediately started to hear noise from the tires at highway speed but it wasn't until my failed inspection that i noticed the severity of the uneven wear/ear on mainly the back tires. Due to a control arm recall, i went to honda in order to get this fixed and purchased my own tires at the time since they wouldn't cover it. Unfortunately, about 19,000 miles later, again my inspection failed due to the tires. I had replaced it again but at this time honda would not do anything and told me that it is past the warranty point and if i bring it in and they find that there's something wrong, i would have to pay for it as its not covered under my general warranty. I don't get this because clearly it is a manufactures recall and i shouldn't have to pay for this plus my tires every 19,000 miles. I purposely chose to buy a honda because they are known to be economical and reliable. None of which my '07 honda civic ex has been. I tried taking it out with new tires during the snow; biggest mistake. Even driving in the rain is a hazard. This should be a huge warning for those who are in the market for a honda civic. These cars are not worth the price if the tires are not reliable. Tires are an important sector of a car. This is really disappointing and i would not think twice about taking this matter to court.
I purchased this 2007 honda civic coupe new in may of 2007. There was a class action suit and subsequent recall for the rear upper control arms that caused severe uneven tire wear and vibration. The problem i have is that the fix did not fix the problem and honda will not stand behind making it right. The replacement arms do not provide sufficient latitude in the adjustment in camber. There are after market fixes for this. My concern is that the tire wear and subsequent handling while driving are a hazard on the road. This may alsobe cause for a new class action suit, as the original "fix" was not a fix.
Since i got my car with 62,000 miles every time i take it to get oil changes every 3 months the tell me the control arms are bad and causing uneven wear on the tire tread...i get new tires and it only last so long before the car starts to shake because of the uneven wear not even going at a high speed... It makes it harder to stop due to the shaking which scares me when i have to stop suddenly due to other drivers or something in the road..
I have had my vehicle for 2 years now. In that time i have put only 20000 miles on the vehicle. I have had to replace my tires twice already on the vehicle due to uneven wear on the tires. The camber of the tires is affected by the rear control arms. This also caused the rear suspension to wear, which i have already had to replace on the vehicle. When breaking my steering wheel shakes affecting my steering. This is caused by the uneven inner tire wear on this vehicle. I am concerned for the safety on this vehicle and i believe other similar vehicles might have the same issue. It is also become a quite expensive problem for me to have to deal with on this vehicle. To whom it may concern,thank you!
I purchased a slightly used civic from a dealer in january of 2009 and began to drive it on icy roads in ontario winter.my wife who usually drives the car complained she was scared to drive it if there was any ice on the road surface because the car would suddenly shift position sideways in the lane.i found the rear tires worn out very fast on the inside of both wheels.i did some research and found out honda had issued a service bulletin to replace the rear upper struts with a longer unit.the dealer did not disclose this information when i bought the car but after i brought it up volunteered to replace them and negotiated with me for half the replacement cost of the tires.i thought this would solve the problem.the next set of rear tires also wore prematurely on the inside in about 25000 miles.when i called the honda dealer he told me i needed an alignment.i paid for an alignment at an independent garage and was told the real wheels could not b adjusted to correct the negative camber.i went back to the dealer who told me that honda did not recognize this defect and the warranty would not cover any remedy.he did a free realignment for me with difficulty and said to rotate my tires more often.i tried that and my next set of tires wore out on the inside just the same.the dealer did say there was an aftermarket part that may correct the problem but i would have to pay for the installation ($600).i have about 180000 kilometers on the vehicle.the vehicle makes rear noise and the vibrationcannot be good for the vehicle.this could be a safety issue.
I am having premature tire wear due to a faulty rear control arm. Please help! my car hydroplanes and the vibration on the steering wheel is horrible on the highway.
Front left wheel bearing and left rear wheel bearing need to be replaced after 80,000 miles on these 2007 honda civics.
Uneven tire wear. Honda won't replace the bad control arms because i put on snow tires and they said that voids any warranty i would have, i've gone through several sets of tires now. Steering wheel shakes badly anytime i go over 50 mph. Brakes have issues. The car is unsafe and honda won't do anything about it.
Original rear upper control arms (oem) need to be replaced due to known camber misalignment from factory. This well-known issue from honda (on 2006 - 2009 civics) causes uneven wear and shortens the lifetime of tires. The only option available to bring the alignment specs (camber) back into a safe range is to replace the upper control arms and tires.
Went to my local honda dealer because of heavy vibration while driving. Dealership informed me that i needed to replace my rear control upper arm because my tires were cupping badly. I have already replaced tires yearly because of uneven wear. I called corporate honda, since i am out of warranty they will not reimburse with parts and labor despite 2013 settlement regarding this matter. It is a safety issue regarding tire suspension and honda is turning a blind eye..
Rear tires are cupping and they've become very noisy after 5,000 miles. Problem first noticed: november 2011. The rear tires were always slippery in tight curves at normal speed.went to route 23 honda, nj for a check up on 02/16/12. They blamed my new tires (10000 miles old). Charged me $96.25 for a 4 wheel alignment, no problem found with the rear wheels. I have asked them about service bulletin 08-001 (uneven or rapid rear tire wear) but they did not admit any fault. They've said my car does not need a repair as per sb 08-001 mentioned above.i have contacted (opened account with) american honda motor co. They did not call back.
Rapid tire wear occurred on the inner portions of both rear tires. The problem was discovered after noticing much road noise and having the tires rotated. Two new tires were purchased and the rear upper control arms were replaced. The problem still exists to this day after consulting two different honda garages they both confirmed that the rear control arms were installed correctly and are within spec. Both garages recommended replacing the tires again, but this is becoming very costly. The ride of the car over the last year has gotten significantly worse and now i'm noticing braking problems. The car hops in the back when applying the brakes at highway speeds. Honda is denying the problem and has offered no compensation.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic.while approaching an exit ramp at 60 mph, the contact discovered that the ramp was full and tried to maneuver the vehicle to remain on the highway.he slammed on the brakes, but the vehicle did not decelerate or stop.he lost control of the vehicle and struck the guard rail.the contact sustained minor injuries.a police report was filed.the vehicle sustained major damages.honda was not notified because the cause of the failure was unknown.he received a recall letter (q56) regarding the wheels on october 1, 2007.the current and failure mileages were 7,000.
The rear tires wear out unevenly due to defective rear control arms.
The control arms on 2006-2007 honda civics are defective which causes uneven tire wear in the rear tires. The inside edge of the tires go bald quickly and the rear end of the car begins to 'jump' around on the highway. There is a service bulletin issued by honda (08-001), but they will not fix the problem. The car feels very unstable on the highway. We have had to replace the tires and get an alignment every year.
Elderly mother drives this car. She drives slow and knows very little about cars. I borrowed her car to find it vibrating excessively from the rear with loud tire noise from the rear as well. Found scalloped rear tires in poor, dangerous condition. Replaced tires thinking they were faulty tires. Problem recurred only several months later. Replaced tires again, different brand and had the rear suspension worked on per honda service bulletin. Problem keeps happening over and over and we must keep replacing the tires. I'm tired of seeing my mom being taken advantage of and continuously spending money on problems that should not be happening. I'm scared this is going to cause someone to get hurt. If the tires blow out, my mother might lose control. Yes, this "will" cause me to file a lawsuit on honda because this is a well documented problem on these cars and i have had multiple mechanics tell me so. We could sell the car but then someone else might be in danger of blow outs. Honda should make it right...at their cost.... Before someone gets killed.
I just had to replace the tires for the second time on this car. The car is expiring uneven tire wear. This does effect braking of the car as well. Honda has admitted that the rear control arm is to short effecting suspension and tire wear. This is dangerous because the visible part of my tire looked fine, plenty of tread and about 38000 on a 90000 mile tire. The inside of the tire was so worn it actually had a hole worn in it. This wear issue could cause a tire to fail while traveling at a high rate of speed. Please help the owners of these vehicles get a recall from honda before someone is hurt.
Driving into the parking log going around 7 mph the support arm for the rear right wheel shock/suspension snapped in the middle and my wheel was basically dragging for around 20 feet so i could park and wait for the tow truck. This car is used as a commute car since i live in the country i drive around 70 miles a day combined mostly at 70 mph on cruise control on decent highways. I don't jump off ramps or drive crazy this is clearly poor manufacturing, workmanship, or design. I'm glad it happened when i was parking and not on the highway.
Honda civi 2007 lx coupe; noise coming from wheels/tires. Took to dealer they said tires. Went to tire dealer,they said not tires but rims. Noise gets really bad around 70. This has been ongoing for a few months. Getting expensive, frustrated.
Excessive rear tire noise and wear.i have been informed there is a service bulletin on my rear upper control arms - they are not marked with a "c".(but see conditions under which i was informed, below.)i am having the new control arms installed on 9/2/12.(i had new rear tires put on, and an alignment performed, 8/28/12.)i spent approximately $500 on the tires/alignment.the estimate for the new control arms is approximately $350.i don't understand why i have to pay for this repair.i've noticed there are multiple complaints about excessive rear tire noise and wear (and subsequent need for rear upper control arm replacement) on honda civics of this vintage (2007).why is this only being treated as a "service bulletin" rather than a "recall".by the way, i wouldn't have even known about the problem if my husband wasn't concerned that the noise was a wheel bearing that was failing.i took it to honda to have them check out the wheel bearing and they blamed the noise on a broken tire belt.when i got home from the dealer i noticed the information on my invoice about the "service bulletin".they hadn't even mentioned it to me themselves!i have been a loyal honda driver for approximately 15 years.as a result of this issue, plus other things about the civic i'm just not crazy about, i will never again buy a honda product!

Excessive and uneven tire wear....cupping.honda will not do anything since the car is out of warranty even though they issued a service bulletin regarding the rear control arms being faulty.
My 2007 honda civic hybrid has uneven and irregular wear on the tires due to an extension arm problem in the rear.honda issues a recall "fix" which did not fix the problem.the problem causes cupping which creates an extremely noisy, unstable ride.i have had to have my tires replaced four times.honda has said they are aware of the problem and understand my "concern" but they will no longer replace my tires.i think it is unacceptable that i would have pay for rear tires more than twice a year because of their engineering problem.i noticed the problem about a month after purchasing the vehicle and it has been a constant battle!the car becomes really unstable and in minnesota winters, it handles terrible in winter conditions.i have slid in the ditch when others were traveling much faster than myself based on the road conditions.this is a nuisance and safety issue.
I bought this car 08/31/13 and began hearing a noise coming from the rear wheels and now i'm surprised to know that there was a recall regarding the wheel bearings.i think my car wasn't properly fixed. Please help.
Wheel bearing type noise coming from rear wheels. After pulling to side of road and checking things out, i noticed extreme tire wear on inside portion of road tread on both rear wheels.
The contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While having the tires replaced by an authorized dealer the contact was told that rear passenger side wheel hub needed to be replaced. The contact was also told that the failure caused excessive tread wear on the tires. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileages were unknown. The vin was unavailable.
The paint on the roof of my car is hazing and the clear coat is peeling.the hood of my car also has white spots.honda garage in moon twp., pa will only pay half of the cost to paint the roof of my car.they said there was a "goodwill recall" that ended in sept 2014, but i never received this.
I am on my 3rd set of tires on a car that has 58,000 miles.research shows that this is a common problem on honda civics for 2006-2007.there seems to be a problem/defect in the design of the car and honda is not standing behind their product.we need help.
Rear tires have abnormal wear which is causing vibration and noise due to a faulty rear control arm. This may cause safety problems.
2007 honda civic lx sedan has exhibited chassis vibration and wheel noise at highway speeds. Passenger side rear tire is cupping. Three visits to two honda dealership service facilities has not corrected this chronic problem.
I've had/having several problems with my 2007 honda civic that i bought brand new. My back tires have worn very unevenly over the years and because of this car eating tires i've replaced tires almost every 2 years. There is also a popping sound when driving when you make a tight turn. I've also had many problems with my a/c. I've had the blower fan stop working and some component relating to it replaced 3 times. My a/c recently stopped blowing cold air after it spit out frozen freon through my vents. Mechanic has told me my freon was empty and compressor locked up. Now i need to throw money ($1400) at this repair as well!...updated 07/19/16
Had a flat tire that would not hold air, so attempted to put on the spare tire that was purchased new with the vehicle (by me) at nalley honda of union city, ga.it was the wrong size spare tire. The lug pattern would not fit. It was a 16" spare instead of the 15" that my car calls for.the dealership would not swap it out for the right size spare tire, even though it was the first time out of my trunk (2007 car, and 2007 date coded spare).luckily, the flat happened in my driveway instead of my daughter being stranded on the interstate.
My 2007 honda civic began having a loud sound coming from the drivers rear wheel. Upon looking on the internet i found a safety recall notice from honda - service bulletin # 07-055 for rear abs wheel speed sensor and o-ring inspection. It stated that some sensors were not installed properly and water may enter the hub assembly damaging the wheel bearings. In areas where road salt is used, the wheel bearings may corrode, which may result in the wheel falling off. I live in an area where road salt is used. My vehicle vin number was listed within the range of potentially effected vehicles on the recall, but i never received a recall notice. I contacted honda customer service, explained that my car has the wheel bearing issue as stated in the recall. They stated that my vehicle was not effected and only certain vehicles in the notice were effected, not all vins listed. They stated my vehicle would not be covered under the recall even if my vehicle has the defect. I took my vehicle to a service repair center which confirmed that my rear wheel bearing was bad and corroded. The car is only 3 years old and this should not have occurred. I had the exact problem as stated in the recall and feel that honda should expand the recall to include all the vehicles they have listed in the recall notice. It's obvious more vehicles are effected than they thought. If they list a range of vin numbers than they should check all on the list, not just pick and choose which ones they think might have the problem.
Rear tires wear bad on the inside.
My 2007 honda civic wear out rear tires extremely fast, causing loud vibrations and safety concerns.
I am constantly having to buy new tires for this car, like at least 2 tires a year. They wear down unevenly and in order to pass inspection i'm constantly having to rotate and buy new ones. I'm not made of money and tires are expensive. I'm a stay at home mom, so i'm not even out driving daily or going on long road trips.
I have to replace the tires every 30000 miles due to uneven tire wear.i guess there is a known problem with a faulty rear arms that honda keeps ignoring after so many complaints.sure way to lose customers when you pride your self in quality but not delivering.
There is uneven wear on my tires which has caused large vibrations when driving on the highway and very dangerous handling in slippery conditions.i just replaced my tires, which the previous owner (i bought it from him in october 2014) stated were almost new at purchase time.the inner edge of each tire was worn down.i also brought the car in for alignment today and found that the rear camber is negative 2.5 degrees on both sides, but that camber is not adjustable.this camber issue, plus regular tire rotations, almost certainly caused the inner edge wear on each tire.apparently this is a known issue with honda civics of the 06-08 era (see 2008 service bulletin, attached), but honda is no longer performing fixes, and the fix did not necessarily rectify the tire wear issue.i have brand new tires today, but i expect that they will also wear out long before the 60,000 mile warranty expires... It seems that my last tires lasted only about 25k before the car felt unsafe to drive.
Both of my rear wheel bearings failed on my 2007 honda civic.
The rear wheels had excessive and uneven tire wear on the inside of both tires, because of the rear upper control arm being too short, causing the camber to be out.this in turn, caused misalignment and excessive tire wear.i had no warning of how fast my tires were wearing out, and they almost wore to the steel belt, which could have caused an accident.i regularly service my honda civic at the honda dealer for each oil change and inspection, but was not notified of any problems at the last service appointment.i believe this is a known manufacturer problem, that needs to be addressed and recalled to be fixed.
Tires have worn unevenly due to rear balance arm/ strut assembly issue which have caused the wheel assembly to canter and be toed in, which in turn has also damaged the suspension/springs. Car now leans to driver side in the rear. Car has had 4 sets of tires and has less than 90,000 miles. Due to uneven tire wear the car is extremely loud (ear damaging loud) and vibrates (shimmies) at speeds above 40mph. We were told by a honda dealership that only an after market adjustable balance arm will correct the problem. American honda refuses to take any accountability.
Monitor catalyst monitor evap monitor 02 monitor egr is not ready it got recall
Rear tire wear to the belts.no adjustment of camber possible.owner has no way to prevent this dangerous and expensive wear.these vehicle should all be recalled and rear camber adjustable components installed regardless of vehicle miles.wear happens very quickly and is not shown at all on the front tires which have a fully adjustable suspension.
I was driving down the road carefully because i take this road almost everyday. This road has been damaged for a long time now and hasn't been fixed yet. All of a sudden my car hits a huge pot hole, it couldn't have been seen due to how dark this road is at night. Both wheels on the left side popped and my front windshield crack in the middle due to the hard impact.
Small vibration heard in the rear of the car.took car in for routine maintenance, told them of sound coming from the rear of car.they informed us that there was a service bulletin on the car, advising them to replace the upper control arms and tires.parts were on back order.reported on 5/22, today is 6/9, part still not replaced.honda refusing to replace tires, even though defective part caused rear tire to ware unevenly and rapidly.fear this is a safety issue and am concerned about driving on the highway.
The rear suspension and the rear upper control arm cause excessive and premature wear on tires requiring replacement of premium tires after only 20,000 miles or less. My car has about 80k miles and is in need of its 4th set of tires. Needles to say the wear create unsafe conditions while driving faster than 50mph making driving on the interstate a risky endeavor.
Approximately a week after buying lifetime alignment and 4 new bridgestone potenza tires in july 2011 at firestone, el paso, tx, my car started to vibrate in the road while driving at speeds 50mph through 60mph.after many research and diagnosis from honda parts and service shop, different firestone locations and local mechanics, the conclusion is that the upper/rear control arms, front and rear camber arm and bolts are defective as per honda manufacturers.my tires are excessively and unevenly wearing.i have already bought 6 sets of new tires in the last 12 months because of this honda issue, which they admit it is a defect made by the manufacturers.they released a service bulletin (service bulletin 08-001 dated april 11, 2008) that informs honda dealer shop of this issue/defect, but they refuse to take responsibility of repairing it free of charge. I believe that it is not fair that customers buying hondas have to pay for defective parts made by the manufacturers.i would like these defect to be solved and paid by them and i would like refund for at least the last set of tires that i recently bought and are already unevenly worn out (this makes it a useless tire). In case it is needed i have all the paper work that can be a clear evidence to this complaint.like me, there are other honda owners with the same issue.
Car rear end moves from side to side in adverse conditions such as ice and snow even driving at what should be a safe speed.even on dry tar or concrete i notice something is not right.the tires wear unevenly on the rear. The 1st time i brought the car in on 12-13-07 at 5,622 miles the rear tires were shot and honda blamed it on me. Bulletin # 08-011 (rear upper control arm kit) was performed on 1-24-08 and seemed to help some.that didn't solve the problem because on 2-12-09 at 14,489 miles the tires were shot. After that tire replacement the car was aligned all around and so i thought maybe that would solve the problem. Since then i still noticed the rear end was still unstable and went in several times to get the problem resolved and each time they either blamed it on me or said there was no problem. Then on 1-12-2011 at 38,359 miles and another week at the hondashop i come to find out the tires are again worn badly on both rear inside edges. The only offer honda cooperation has made is to replace the tires with them only paying some of the cost but no permanent solution. The 3rd set of tires i put on were the best cooper tires and still had the problem so i know replacing the tires again will not solve the problem. I and my family feel unsafe in this car especially under certain conditions. More important to me then anything is the safety of my family and i hope honda will understand this and find a permanent solution before an accident happens at a result of this. Honda suggested trading the car in for something else but i can not pass this safety hazard on to another person and feel good about it.
Excessive noise from rear end of vehicle unrelated to normal higher noise from all season tires. The noise is so bad that passengers cannot converse in the car with the windows closed.excessive unusual wear on tires requiring frequent replacement.honda put out a service bulletin 08-001 feb 5, 2009 about this problem but has not issued a recall.i think that honda should do a recall or offer to pay something toward the corrective action they mention in their service bulletin.a rear upper control arm kit, new tires, alignment and labor charges are needed to be done and parts will need to be shipped to me from the us so i can have the repairs done where i am stationed here in germany.i'm frightened to take the care out on the autobahn.thanks.
Had a flat tire two times when our car touched the curb. The car was traveling below 10 mph when the tire touched the curb. Both the times the edge of alloy wheels of my honda civic cut through the tire exactly at the point of the pressure. This happened twice. We also have a honda accord and this happened a few times but never had a flat tire. The wheels are stock wheels and edges of the wheels are not curved out as most of the vehicles have them. Since the edges are not curved out the weight of the car along with the uncurved edges causes the tire to be cut.
