2007 HONDA Civic

When headlights on turned on I have no brake lights and cruise control shuts down

I visited the honda dealership yesterday for a safety recall on my car on its passenger airbag. never aware and been told about it until i have to look it up online. upon arrival, i asked if there\'s something we can do about the car paint of the car since i believe its not normal wear and tear for a honda civic. he said that the extended warranty on the paint expired and nothing can be done. I told that we were never told about this same way with the recall. but all i received was a straight face which i understood. it has been years of problem now, it started from the roof of the car which is now very awful, then on the hood, trunk and sides. it definitely need a repaint.

The paint on my Honda Civic started peeling about 5 years ago and has reached an all time high. This is not a normal amount of oxidization – it\'s peeling on every surface area. My car is under 80k miles and is 10 years old but looks like it\'s over 20 years old. I\'ve been told this is a clear coat issue and it\'s no longer covered by warranty. I see my same car around the city with the same issue so it\'s not an isolated incident.

The design of the head restraints has caused permanent damage to my neck and continues to cause pain and discomfort. I would like for Honda to provide head restraint replacements that will not force my head and neck into an abnormal, uncomfortable position as they do now.

Premature and uneven tire wear and resulting rough ride. Honda installed new control arms but issue is still occuring on rear passenger side of the car.

The paint on the roof of the car is peeling in large sections. Beyond the clear coat, the light blue color of the car is coming off

Paint falure,peeling of top coat & fading bottom coat, on roof ,trunk & hood

Control arms failed. Caused many issues with tire wear and suspension

Paint is fading and chipping on the roof and trunk of the car. It started as small white specks and is now huge blobs of missing paint.

paint on roof of car peeling.

Clear coat peeling off roof both front and back above glass also above headlights on both sides…..as paint is no longer under warranty they will do nothing about it. Although my car is 10 years old I
only have 173,413 km. The estimate to repair is 3,566.62. I have had my car serviced at dealership
since first purchased.

In 2013 our dark blue 2007 Honda Civic had cracking and peeling paint on the hood and fenders. After much complaining, the dealership finally agreed to have this repaired under extended warranty. Now, the roof has also developed dull and white spots and the clear coat is peeling off. After many months of getting the run around from Honda, they sent us back to the body shop that did the original repainting. Of course, they say it isn\'t their problem, it\'s a Honda paint problem. Honda dealership says it\'s not their problem. And when we complained to Honda Canada, of course, it\'s not their problem either – it\'s just normal wear and tear and they would not be covering any additional repainting. Our car has been well taken care of, and has always been serviced by a Honda dealership, and yet we are left with a car that looks like crap. Clearly, there is a problem with Honda\'s paint – many others have the same problem based on all the photos on the web of damage exactly like we are experiencing. Extremely disappointed with Honda – they should be taking ownership and fixing this problem.

PAINT ON ROOF IS PEELING LOOKS AWFUL SAME IS STARTING ON HOOD AND TRUNK OF CAR. PROBLEM REPORTED TO HONDA CANADA AND HONDA MONCTON TOOK PICTURES ON FILE WAITING FOR REPLY TO PROBLEM REPORTED!

rear left side tire keep loosing tread , i have changed tires many times.

Paint started peeling about two years ago. I contacted the dealer and was basically brushed off. I will NEVER buy another Honda!!! That\'s the lesson that I\'ve learned. Shame on Honda for not standing behind their product.

My2007 HONDA CIVIC has defected Paint. I believe the paint on the roof is cracking and is related to the method
by which the factory applied the paint. My hood was repainted during the 7 year warranty extension,but the roof did not show defect until now. The whole car should have been repainted during the 7 year warranty extension,
but honda would only paint the hood.

Paint cracking and pealing off car

I was advised by the Honda dealership to call American Honda and describe the problem with the paint peeling and cracking on my bumper to see if they could cover some of it since a previous (although expired) paint recall in 2014 was issued on my car that covered similar roof and trunk issues. After calling American Honda, they recognized the defective paint but said nothing would be offered because it did not apply to the bumpers. All attempted arguments were unsuccessful where I pointed out that the same defective paint that did not properly adhere to the metal hood and fenders also did not properly adhere to the plastic bumpers resulting in the defective peeling and chips. The out of pocket cost to repair is $750. So disappointed with Honda Motors.

Sun visor broke along the joint area where the rod runs through it in July 2015. This, of course, is one year outside the extended warranty that resulted from the lawsuit. This is extremely unfortunate since the visor that broke is on the driver\'s side, and it constantly hangs down obstructing my vision. Only temporary remedy is pushing the visor to the side.

The paint is peeling, chalking, flaking or going flat or whatever words they want to use but not staying dark shiny blue in areas
We believed Honda would stand behind their product. We have purchased 3 NEW Honda Civic\'s. Honda is not taking responsibility when they definitely knew the paint issue was a factory problem

Honda knew of the issue with the paint peeling. Honda did not inform their customers, they did not take responsibility for their problems and have left us with a car that has lost value and looks awful. We want Honda to repaint the car with paint that will last. They do not stand behind what they build and sell

Change first wheel rear bering last year and the 2nd one this year. 2nd one change after accident. Going through back tires quickly. Guy at 4 star tire said it upper control arm on back wheels. Purchase new control arm from auto zone today for it costing 131.55. It has now 65614 milage on it.

The rear tires on my 2007 Honda Civic are wearing prematurely on the inside. Honda knew about this problem and had a class action suit filed against them to fix the problem several years ago. The time limit is now over on this class action suit but my tires are wearing and nobody will do anything to fix it. Honda claims the combination of stock tires, rear suspension geometry and alignment angles are what is is causing the tire wear and recommends installation of new rear control arms stamped with the letter C to fix the problem. On February 8, 2008 they issued a TSB describing repair procedures for certified mechanics. The new control arms take .75 degrees of camber from the rear. For recommended service, Honda tells hits mechanics to install a rear upper control arm kit, replace the flange bolts and worn tires and do a four wheel alignment.

The paint on my car hood and trunk cover is peeling. It started lightening in color about a year ago and now there are big strips on the hood where the paint has peeled and there are white specks on the trunk cover. I have not attempted to repair it yet, but “0” is not given as an option above.

Uneven rear tire wear. Loud rumbling when driving at high speeds. Honda said it is no longer under warranty. Just bought the car. Will be my last honda if this is how they do business

I was driving my Honda car and suddenly I see Light indicator for the transmission. I took my car to Transmission (AAMCO) repair shop next day and the guy told me that Transmission of your car is failed. I checked online there are so many customer are having same problem like mine even he had 80% repair car was Honda. To resolve this problem Honda has done anything or not even issue recall. I call to Honda regarding this issue and to file a complain, but they are saying that they can not do anything. They are saying regarding repair you are liable for the cost.

The paint and sealant is peeling all over the front hood and side of the vehicle. It is very unsitely.

This car was recalled due to a class action suit for uneven/premature rear tire wear. I had the upper rear control arms replaced through the recall. However this did not resolve the problem and Honda will not stand behind it. There are after market fixes for this problem. I contend that the original recall fix did not fix the problem and that this may be cause for another class action. These cars may be a hazard on the roads due to this problem.

I have been going through multiple tires. all my rear tires wear very rapidly, causing me to have to buy new tires every two years even with constant maintenance.

The paint is peeling on the roof of the car which is a known problem to Honda. Honda extended the paint warranty by sending a recall. Unfortunately, my car did not show any problems until after the warranty expired. My local local Honda dealership refused to fix this problem, as did the regional Honda office, according to the dealership.

The motor mount keeps breaking on this car. Had it replaced 11/2012. It seems to only last a couple weeks, then breaks again. Makes the car loud. I only fixed it once.

My rear tires wear prematurely and unevenly. When I asked my installer about this, he said it’s a problem w/ Honda Civics, so I’m reporting it now.

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON THE REAR OF HONDA.
NOISE IS VERY LOUD AND MINOR INTERNAL VIBRATION

the clear coat and paint is bubbling and ready to crack. the paint area is almost white from the paint/clear coat bubbling. the car is in perfect condition except for this. it is on the passenger side of the car, and will quickly cause rust if not taken care of.

The sun visors are of cheap quality and both are broken. The paint is loosing it’s gloss coating.

The paint was starting to fade or flake as soon as car was purchased. We are second owners. Bought from family member. Within two years all the flat/horizontal surfaces are flaking , fading or coming off even down to the metal and it is rusting. Local Honda of Columbia dealer,where this Civic was originally purchased, says it is not on the recall list and to complain to Honda of America customer service folks. Now I find out that there was a warranty extension for this car but we are too late for a repaint of the affected areas. Waiting for further appeal results from Honda of America and the final outcome. All I want is to have those portions of the car repainted. jrs

My paint is blotched on my trunk white. It is beginning to travel too. For a 2007 this is unacceptable. My visors were changed out twice as well. So disappointing

upper struts mounts replaced x2
the paint on the roof of my car is hazing and the clear coat is peeling off, the hood of my car has white spots on it also this started in late Sept 2014

clear coat failure, paint cracking and fading

We have put 6 sets of tires on our 2007 Honda Civic. We received a letter in 2014 from Honda that a class action lawsuit had been filed regarding uneven tread wear on the rear tires. I have sent them a copy of our receipts along with a copy of our log book. They have denied our claim since all the information they need is not on the receipts. This information is not on the receipts because there was no reason to put it on at the time. If we knew what we knew now, it could have been done. But such is not the case. Honda is still not going to acknowledge that they are in the wrong. It’s easier for them to just deny the claims. Very disappointed in this company and in this car.

Uneven tire wear and noise from front right and back wheels, dealer refused to address as manufacturer. Had to spend 600$ to replace tires at dealer.
later had to spend 200$ to fix control arms,

Rear upper control arms were defective (too short) causing inner rear tires to wear, extreme road noise and vibration. I called Honda America and was told I can receive no financial help even though a class action law suit had passed and a bulletin was out for the rear upper control arms. I had to pay for new control arms, 4 wheel alignment and 2 new rear tires and take a day off work to do this.

Rear tires wear bad on the inside.

Rear Control Arms replaced / wheel align / new tires. Found via internet extended warranty issued but too late to apply – also too late to join the class action suit. Did not receive notification from Honda or dealership. First noticed the problem with fast tire wear – replaced first set of tires @ 30,000 miles then again @ 74,000 miles.

Rear control arm failure.

My civic had a recall on upper control arms which cause massive tire wear and noise inside the vehicle! I never received a claim on the honda settlement at!

I havent gone to fix my car yet. But the tires are worn and the vibrations when i drive on the highway are horrible. I know there is an issue with premature tire wear and the rear upper control arm is faulty. Please help!

I have not had this problem repaired. I am trying to find the proper recourse to be reimbursed before doing so. I’ve been advised Honda paint only has a 3 year warranty, but there should be an exception to this rule. I am interested in Class Action only if I cannot be reimbursed for this repair.

I have experienced asymmetrical cupping (uneven and rapid wear) on the tires of my 2007 Civic. I just installed the third set of tires on this vehicle.

I was made aware of the asymmetrical cupping late in 2013 by a Costco Tire Service Center. At their recommendation I had a four-wheel alignment done at the FLOW Honda Dealership in Winston-Salem, NC in late 2013, at the cost of $69.00 plus tax. I mentioned the asymmetrical cupping to the technician as the reason for the alignment. FLOW Honda did not bring to my attention the class action lawsuit, nor did they recommend looking at the rear upper control arm. There was a technical service bulletin issued in 2008 regarding this issue.

I wrote a letter to Honda North America regarding this issue, but they have not offered to replace the defective upper control arms free of cost.

Excessive tire wear and noise. Am having my rear upper control arms replaced on 8/2/2012 per a Honda Service bulletin. But for some reason I’m having to pay for the repair. I don’t understand!! The cost shown includes two new rear tires, an alignment, and the estimate of the cost of installing the rear upper control arms.

drivers window sometimes goes up and down by itself. Honda has worked on it three times, but it is still doing it.

Continual failuretires wear out abnormally early.

Accelerated inner tire wear on the rear. Wheel is out of alignment, but not adjustable.

3rd set of tires worn due to tires wearing rapidly due to bad rear control arms

Rear upper control arm manufacturing defect causing premature tire wear and road noise.
Paint oxidising and fading on roof.

The paint on the roof and trunk of my 2007 Honda Civic has begun to cloud, fade, and peel. It’s a mess, and will affect the resale value. One Honda dealer knew nothing of what appears to be Campaign 12-049, while the other in town is willing to inspect the paint job later this week.

The Honda Class Action Administrator partially approved the claims I submitted for the Class Action Tire Wear Settlement. I provided all receipts for the tire replacements and the final claim was posted before the deadline on March 20, 2014 but was rejected for not having a “diagnosis” for the replaced tire. This claim is important because the following claim was also denied claiming that it exceeded the mileage in the settlement agreement. The first claim in January 2007 with mileage of 9,000 would safeguard the mileage terms for the following tire replacement. I have a 30-day time frame to appeal the denial of the 2007 claim which is being denied. Honda did not send a denial letter for the 2007 claim.

The “Lead” of the Honda Class Action Settlement does not return phone calls within the promised 48 hours and allegedly left “messages” on my answering machine which is time stamped and dated. No messages were ever left. The “Lead” is always in a meeting and not available. The attorneys, Starr and others, referred me back to the Class Action Administrator.

The reimbursement checks were scheduled to be mailed in March 2014, and have now been delayed to the first weeks in April 2014, and now to the end of April 2014.

Incorrectly engineered rear upper control arms causing rapid and uneven tire wear. Covered in Technical service bulletin 13-047. Causes vibration and loud noise while driving. Honda, while admitting this part was incorrectly engineered and has failed (their word), will not cover the cost of the updated upper control arm kit needed to correct the problem.

I was listening to the news today and I heard that Honda has a recall for the paint on the Honda civics 2003-2014. I called to check if my car fell under this extension because my car has been releasing blue chalk and the whole roof if a different color than the rest of the car. The guy I spoke to was just rude and didn’t help me out, he just said that it didn’t fall into it. My concern is this, how do they know if my car falls under that recall if they don’t check and if they don’t look at the car. It just seems like Honda has been having a lot of recalls lately, and every time I try to check they tell me no, and are rude even if it is covered.

Due to the suspension issue it has cause premature wear of the tires and a lot of noise, the repairs have not been done yet, but will need to be done before I replace the tires again.

Control rear arms on 2007 Honda Civics which cause uneven and rapid tire wear were a subject of a class action lawsuit. I was never notified of the lawsuit and didn’t know about this issue until 8/18/14 when the local Honda dealership told me I needed to replace them. I’ve had to replace several sets of tires and the 2007 car only has 67,000 miles. The deadline to file a claim was December 2014.

OEM Rear upper control arms on both driver and passenger sides need to be replaced in order to reestablish alignment (camber) within safe limits. This is a known defect from the Honda company.

Light has been going on and off for passenger side air bag, I have not had it repaired. Honda re-painted the hood for cracking paint. Driver side visor is broken, Honda was nice enough to put tape on it for me. Also have put two sets of tires on this car due to uneven wear. First set at 61,000 second set at 94,000,

The paint is durastically peeling off of my roof and now on my hood. It started maybe the beginning of this year, 2013, and has just kept getting worse. I have now researched and found this is a common problem with the year and make of my car, yet no recall to fix this has happened.

This car has worn out two sets of rear tires with extreme inside wear and cupping caused by a design failure of the rear control arm that is too shot.

Rear Upper Control Arms too short, need replacement. Rear end making excessive noise unrelated to all season tires. Excessive unusual tire wear. Service Bulletin 08-001 Honda describes corrective action, so Honda knows about this problem, but no recall.

I have a 2007 Honda 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. I’m about to buy another set, its always the rear tires that I have replaced. I didn’t know Honda had had this issue. Now that I know about it, I’m 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.
I’m hoping that Honda Corp will help me pay for the fix.

Clear-coat failing on roof causing peeling and paint damage/peeling. It’s a common and known documented problem with Hondas. The dealership and American Honda both stated there is nothing they can do…

Bad paint.

I bought a new 2007 Honda Civic in May 2007 and started having problems with the rear tires in 2008. Replaced rear tires again in 2010 and I’m currently having problems again.

Called Hoehn Honda in Carlsbad California today, and got the run around. They are aware of the problem but they haven’t recalled the issue.

On February 8th, 2008 Honda issues a Technical Service Bulletin for 2006-07 Civic 2-door and 4-door vehicles regarding “Uneven or Rapid Tire Wear”. Honda Civic Si’s are not covered. In the TSB, Honda lists the probable cause as a combination of the tires and the rear suspension geometry may cause rapid or uneven tire wear. They go on to point out that worn tires will cause vibration and/or bad bearing noise, especially at highway speeds.

Honda admits defective rear control arms causing dangerously uneven tire wear. Dangerous to drive even with new tires because suspension doesn’t hold car on road when going over even slight bumps. Have spent way too much money on numerous sets of tires.

Rear Tires have abnormal wear which is causing vibration and noise. This is due to the faulty Rear Control Arm.

CRACKED SHORT BLOCK, replaced by Honda
I am on my 3rd set of tires at 58,000 miles and numerous alignments – cost of over $1500+
Rear end problem causing tire wear – not fixed and not notified by Honda – had to do research to find this out

My car needs new rear upper control arms for the suspension to correct the uneven wear on the tires. Honda will not help out knowing that there is a Service Bulletin out for this problem

Clear coat/paint is coming off on driver side roof and driver side window frame.

Defective paint on this 2007; apparently according to the other reports on the internet, the clear coat is defective and peels off. There is a class action suit against Honda, for which I have signed up.

My paint on my car is peelling on several areas of my car. It’s peel on the roof, trunk and hood. The paint on the good is also cracking. I’ve notice this same defect on other Honda civics like mine.

No forewarning at all. No slipping, no leaking, ran perfect. Just got off the busiet highway in NJ and engine light came on, light senser next to “drive” began to blink. Couldn’t drive more than 30 mph or so. Went right to repair shop (a very good friend of mine) and then got a transmission specialist to look at it. I need whole new transmission. This is crazy. I thought buying a Honda would assure me years and years of reliability with the major components. I also had to replace a starter 2 years ago..that seemed odd for a 3 year old car. I just thank God I was off the highway..I could have been killed.

paint has begun to peel and fade on roof

Over the past month and a half I have 5 spots on the roof that have turned white. The paint is just disappearing from my car. My Honda dealer said they would cover all but $150.00 to repaint roof and the warranty extension will cover hood and front fenders. Why do I have to pay anything for them to fix an obvious defect? In addition to having to pay for that I am also responsible for paying for a rental car so I can get to school and work? I shouldn’t have to pay a dime for anything, repairs or a rental. I love Honda but this is not being handled well.

Unever wearing of the rear tires due to manufacturing defect with the rear controls arms.

roaring tire noise caused by defective rear upper control arms

Clear coat and paint is peeling and fading on roof, trunk, hood, bumper and other areas of the car. I am very unhappy with the paint on my car. I don’t feel like I should have to pay for a new paint job for a shotty paint job. The dealer has stated that my car was over the 3yr factory warrantee and there was nothing they could do about it. I was planning on upgrading to a Honda Accord when the vehicle was paid for but now I don’t think I will ever buy another Honda.

The paint on the hood is steadily peeling off and is getting worse. When we took it as soon as we noticed it, the dealer said it wasn’t covered but they had other people who had similar problems.

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.

I replaced the original set of tires on my 2007 Honda Civic at 49,749 miles, which I thought was premature, but the tires looked worn out. I am now on my second set of tires (68,000+ miles) and have noticed a loud noise coming from the passenger rear tire area. I took the Civic into the tire dealership (Discount Tire) where I purchsaed the second set of tires and they stated the passenger-side rear tire exhibited a bad cupping or choppy pattern on the inside edge which was probably due to a bad wheel bearing, bad suspension or bad wheel alignment. I took the Civic to a local repair shop (Tom’s) for inspection. They stated the wheel bearings and shocks looked fine. I paid them $55 for a 4 wheel alignment, after which they stated the wheels were really not that much out of alignment. Discount Tire rotated the tires for me, putting the passenger rear tire on the driver front. The noise now moved tothe driver front and was so annoying that I asked Discount Tire to replace it, which they did at the replacement cost of $13.25. They did comment that the other rear tire (which was located on the driver-side rear but now located on the passenger-side rear due to rotating necessary to incorporate the new trie) is also showing the same wear pattern (cupped/choppy) on the inside edge, just not as bad as the tire they replaced. I am sure after a number of miles, it too, will also cup badly. The new tire they placed on the car is located on the driver-side rear.

When the vehicle is in motion, the back moves to the right and left, like the tail of a dog

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.

The clear coat paint on the roof and top of door frame is cracking and flaking and looks terrible. This just began to appear last month. Dealer offered to repaint roof and rear quarter panel if I paid $100 deductible. I have not yet agreed, because I am concerned that this will continue to happen on other areas of the car in the future. I purchased this car new and intended to drive it for 15 or more years. I am afraid that failing paint will be a MAJOR expense in the future. I have other vehicles that are up to 14 years old and the paint is perfect. I feel I am being asked to foot the bill for a manufacturer’s defect and I think the only long term solution is to have Honda repaint the entire car.

paint is peeling on roof and the car is only 5 yrs old
also the engine mount has failed
also sunvisor on driver side came apart theres a recall but they would not fix because its over the mileage

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 owes me for paying for their poor quality control and not alerting me that this was a problem. The tires I just replaced were good for 85,000 miles.

three sets of tires, all with uneven wear, all due to failed rear suspension control arms. Though there is a TSB out to dealers for thousands of Civics, Honda dealers do not honor any warranty claims and have not issued any recall. Our local Honda dealer’s service manager says they’ve had hundreds of other Civic owners with the same problem, have been on the phone with Honda corporate, and have not been able to get corporate to pay for the failed suspension which caused the tire wear. There is one class action suit and many more pending. We have documentation supporting full and complete maintenance with our Honda Civic and tires. Even with religious adherence to all maintenance schedules, tire rotations/balancing/alignment, all of the tires on our Civic have been dangerously worn, the last set with steel bands protruding from the inner edge of the tire. I wish your form had multiple instances of failure…it does not. So I can only cite the first set of tires—which had to be replaced with only 12K miles on the car. I am very concerned about this as others have reported severe crashes due to the unpredictable handling in wet and uneven road conditions with this failed rear suspension design.

Clear coat is oxidizing and peeling away down to the metal in several areas on the 4 yr old car. Honda said they have not seen this before and we must not be waxing the car often enough. They will take no responsibility for it. They will pay for 1/2 the repainting as ‘a courtesy to a longtime good customer’. When asked why only half, they said if that doesn’t make us happy they will rescind the offer immediately. When I said I would look around online to see if anyone else had a similar problem, she said I better call the dealer ASAP and make an appt to fix it while the offer was still good. Upon looking online I see that there are tons of Honda owners with this exact same problem.
We have not had it repaired yet.

On March 8, 2010, on my way back home from Jacksonville, Fl my car started to decelerate quickly. I was on a busy interstate 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 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. I’m already out of pocket over $330.00 plus one day of work. 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. After an dealer’s inspection, I was told it would be $4600 for a new engine; a really good deal, “Robert”, the green team service manager explained. I brought the Service Bulletin to Robert and later to Mr. Steve Siegel. Mr. Siegel’s response was that he 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 thing. They stated that the car was out of warranty and I had bought it used (in Nov 09) and as is so they would not be able to help us. When I bought the car, I immediately had it fully inspected by another Honda dealership and it was given a clean bill of health. My husband asked to speak to someone above him and today is March 12 and nobody has called us back. On March 11, I had also called Honda of North America, 1-800-999-1009 for a second time. I had called them the day after the occurrence and opened a customer complaint case (#N012010-03-0900-168). I spoke to a Cynthia and a Mr. Darrell Harville, one of the supervisors and although they both stated they were aware of Service Bulletin 08-044, they stated Honda would not pay for their defective motor because it was out of warranty. Mr. Harville said I was free to contact the State Attorney General, DOT or anyone else I wanted, but Honda’s policy would stand. My life and my son’s life were put at risk and Honda refuses to acknowledge that they are responsible!

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 hunk of metal through my neck for the sin of having a fender bender. all in all i am a very unhappy honda owner. ,

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. dealership 485 serramonte blvd colma, ca 94014 phone number (650) 758-4800

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.

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.

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.

Potential defective air bag , possible unlawful airbag tampering

I've been informed that my car's passenger side airbag is defective and nothing has been done about it. our local honda dealership (bill kay honda, bradley illinois) is aware of my vehicle and the recall. *the date listed below is an estimate.

Takata recall on 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 advised that 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.

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

Takata recall it 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 transport a passenger in the front seat with me for the same reason. again, this excessive delay is unacceptable.

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 dangerous defect with engine block. this isn't over. something must be done.

Takata recall- i was parked in michaels craft stores parking lot. i pulled forward to leave i didnt see the curb/median/sidewalk in front of me. when i pulled forward i hit them and both of my air bags went off. i bruised my forearms, hurt my left pinkie/hand and my back has ben hurting me. i know their is a recall on my airbags but im not sure if my airbags going off so easily had anything to do with it.

Started leaking coolante and i notice that leak come from the midle of the motor and the car started heating up (this happend on the street and i notice it because start smelling coolante)

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 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.

Takata recall 13 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 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. *tr

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.

Wipers do not park when 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 blades in order to prevent scratching on the windshield by the worn out rubber insert. i believe this is caused by the wiper motor malfunctioning.

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 $1500 to 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.

Takata recall recall 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

Tl* 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.

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 diagnostics for 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.

Takata recall recall 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. *tr

Takata recall - honda has not issued a fix. have been waiting 8 months (since may 2016).

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.

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 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.

This all happend when i was driving 45 mph at night headlights turn off, dash lights flicker off an on car power tran jerking the engine stalls, and prevented the vehicle from being restarted, check engin light came on the car has been parked in the grarge since this happend 3 years ago it now starts but its throwing codes check engin light still on . after car warms up these same symptoms start to happen codes for powertran control modul computer and ima system this all happend suddenly without warnning .

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 when noticed 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.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 16v346000 (air bags) was received in june of 2016. after contacting the dealer and the manufacturer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available.

Vin: [xxx] year: 2007 make: honda model: civic sedan number of open recalls: 1 nhtsa recall number: opens new window takes away from vin lookup section> 16v-346 recall date: may 23, 2016 manufacturer recall number: ka5 summary: american honda motor co., inc. (honda) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 honda civic vehicles. according to the equipment defect notifications (16e-042 and 16e-043) filed by takata, the 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. honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed. safety risk: in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material possibly causing injury to vehicle occupant. remedy: the remedy parts needed to conduct passenger frontal airbag inflator recalls will become available in late summer/fall of 2016. honda will notify owners in an initial letter with a second letter being mailed when parts are available. owners may contact honda automobile customer service at 1-888-234-2138. honda's number for this recall is ka5. recall status: recall incomplete. remedy not yet available. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

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.

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. *tr

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?

Tl* 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. *tr

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v346000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was notified. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available.

I began to have back and neck pain after buying a honda civic 2007. 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.

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.

"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. *tr

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.

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: 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!

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. *tr

Takata recall the 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.

Takata recall it's been 5 months since recall issued.

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. *tr

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.

Improper road signage: speed limit: visible speed maximum: nonvisible

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.

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 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.

Engine block cracked at 99,000 miles. coolant leaking.

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. *tr

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 *tr

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

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

Burnt wire smell and smoke coming from the steering wheel.

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.

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.

Cracked engine block, random overheating, major coolant loss, emergency pullover

44,000 miles on vehicle and diagnosed at honda dealer that engine block is cracked! manufacturers defect with unpublicized safety bulletin 10-048 will not repair.

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.

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 small crack. 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.

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.

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.

I was driving on a highway and i noticed coolant leakage resulting in engine overheating.

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.

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). *tt

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,

Tl* 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.

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.

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.

The car overheated suddenly. the engine block has a crack. 134k miles. well maintained vehicle. perfectly good engine cracked.

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?

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.

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 a technical 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Tl* 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.

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 and it don't seem as if anything is helping with complaint after complaint.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving 45 mph, the vehicle overheated. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to crown honda greensboro (3633 w wendover ave, greensboro, nc 27407, (336) 790-9855) where it was diagnosed that the motor block needed to be repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 160,000.

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.

Rear tires are wearing down faster than the front, yet it's front wheel drive.

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.

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

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.

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 it for 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

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

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.

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.

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 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 shits!

The engine is cracked in the back and leaking coolant. car only has 80,000 miles on it

Takata recall it 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 to get her insurance.

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 a known 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.

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.

Cracked block and leaking coolant--vehicle overheating. manufacturing defect. logged a case with honda of north america.

"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.

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?

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.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 16v346000 (air bags). while the contact's daughter was driving the vehicle, the front driver and passenger air bags deployed after driving over a pothole. there no injuries. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 180,000.

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 and googled 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.

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 discovered a 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 customer extended 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.

Cracked engine block, leaking engine coolant and overheating

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!

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.

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 . **this happens on the highway or at any speed**

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.

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?

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!

2007 honda civic engine block cracked, leaking coolant - honda related to tsb 08-044.

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.

There is a crack in the engine block. has only 70,000 miles

Engine block crack, coolant leaking.

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.

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.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v346000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. coggin honda of ft. pierce (4450 south u.s. 1, fort pierce, fl 34982, (772) 621-5991) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Had a major accident in 2014 on interstate 85 going through charlotte, nc. got struck at high speed from behind and front end struck the median. the front of the car was destroyed. my airbag did not inflate causing my ribs to be broken.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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 leak with engine overheating and steam coming from under the hood while driving. i took it in for service and was shocked when i was told 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 the warranty 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.

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.

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 same dealer 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.

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.

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

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.

“takata recall”

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

Air bag light on

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.

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.

"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.

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.

Cracked engine block causing loss of antifreeze, which in turn causes engine to over heat

Honda tsb# 10-048, my sons honda civic over heated due to a known crack issue in the engine block. 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 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.

Tl* 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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while the vehicle was operated at low speeds, it experienced a loss of power and black smoke appeared from the engine compartment. the vehicle was pushed to the side of the road. the contact did not see flames; however, a coolant leak was observed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine block was defective and needed to be replaced. checkered flag honda (6541 e virginia beach blvd, norfolk, va) stated that the failure was included in the extended coverage for the engine block. the manufacturer stated that the unknown nhtsa campaign number for the failure had expired. the failure mileage was approximately 166,000.

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.

Tl* 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2007 honda civic. consumer writes in regards to concerns with replacement parts delay to repair passenger side airbag recall. *smd

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?

Purchased 2007 honda civic new. had issue with passenger side airbag light on 2008. 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'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 *bf

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. current mileage is under 55k miles

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 driver to 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.

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.

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.

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?

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 bought it 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 so i took it to the shop.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The passenger side airbag light went on and i want to know why my vin is not part of safety recall.

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.

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 stuck if you google these year civics there are lot of people complaining about this issue

I hit a pothole and the airbag was deployed.

This is related to suspension...three issue i have observed 1. 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.

No incidents/accidents to date. i'm concerned about the airbag malfunctioning/exploding. i want to have the airbag replaced, at no cost to me, at an authorized honda dealer. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).” *jb

Air bag and side air bag symbol warning was coming on and off for atleast a year & now stays on all the time

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

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.

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.. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

The clear coat and paint job is bubbling and getting ready to crack and expose the car to rust. *tr

The intermittent wipers stop unexpectedly anywhere on the windshield. the problem persists. *tr

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. *tr

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 also be cause for a new class action suit, as the original "fix" was not a fix. *tr

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 department reps 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 them they 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... *tr

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. *js

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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? *tr

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. *tr

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). *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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.

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. *js

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 system that someone needs to look into it. please look into this. *js

Tl* 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.

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! *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated while driving approximately 15 mph over a bump, the front passenger's seat and side curtain air bags both deployed in inadvertently even though there was no impact to the vehicle. there was no personal injury. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 85,000. *tr

Right (passenger side) engine mounts are failing. front end of top, right mount now resting on body of vehicle at top of housing for shock absorber. when vehicle is driven in reverse, transmission rumbles. when vehicle is driven forward, transmission rumbles only slightly. transmission noise is most evident when vehicle is started cold and particularly on cold days. once engine is hot, very little noise is heard. problem is well known: see internet.

2007 honda civic. consumer writes in regards to motor mounts uppers and lowers cracked and replaced twice in two weeks. *smd 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.

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. *tr

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). *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Brought vehicle in to dealership due to leaking (green and brown fluids). was told that engine block was cracked and needed to be replaced, along with the radiator. was told that tires were showing wear that should probably be replaced soon and was told this was possibly due to the control arm issue in 2007 honda cars causing uneven wear on tires. paid for new tires and labor for install. paid for new radiator and labor for install. was not charged for control arm part. was not charged for parts/labor on cracked engine block. on 11/11/2013, brought vehicle back to dealership due to continued leaking. was told that clamp on the radiator had not been tightened properly.

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.

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. *tr

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 form attach a copy of the repair receipt or invoice for the repair attach proof of payment mail 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. *tr

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). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that the front end of the vehicle vibrated and would make a loud muffle noise sporadically and without warning. the contact also mentioned that when shifting into reverse, the vehicle would exhibit a louder noise and the vibration was more intense. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and the mechanic stated that an engine mount had to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 66,000. the current mileage was 66,500.

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. *tr

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 !!!!!! *tr

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 or age of the car. i did not cause the factory problem, due to the fact i did not make the car. american honda is responsible. *tr

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 air bag inflater". he said to take it to a 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. service bulletin 10-001 dated february12,2010 and revised on august13,2010. it says floor wire harness has a poor crimp in it. this is a safety issue! honda needs to have a recall on this!! *tr

I have a 2007 honda 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 had this 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. *tr

Clear coat and paint are peeling from top of vehicle in front of, and behind the sunroof. *tr

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 dealership during the last 5 1/2 years that i took my car for service. p.s. - car has not been involved in an accident (yet). *tr

Premature paint fading on top of car front of moonroof and back of roof and growing. *tr

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). *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Honda civic 2007 coupe engine 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!? *tr

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. *tr

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... *tr

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 car has 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). *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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 problem back 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. *tr

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. *tr

It doesnt stop at correct position and at times keeps going even pressing once... expecially on snow or rainy day its stops in the middle of driving view and i have to keep pressing off and on distracting my ability to drive safely!!! please recall thanks! http://youtu.be/jnywyaxxg8w. *tr

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). *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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! *tr

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!!! *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Rear control arms are defective and cause dangerously uneven tire wear. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Cracked engine block... *tr

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle made a loud noise and began to shake as soon as it was started. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the front passenger side motor mount needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted. the failure and current mileage was 70,000. updated 04-05-13 *bf

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, which honda refused, even though it was a known safety issue problem. *tr

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. *tr

My 2007 honda civic wear out rear tires extremely fast, causing loud vibrations and safety concerns. *tr

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. *tr

Rear tires have abnormal wear which is causing vibration and noise due to a faulty rear control arm. this may cause safety problems. *tr

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. *tr

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 and do not expect you car to be out of gear. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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=2832175 http://repairpal.com/low-rumbling-sound-when-in-reverse-bad-engine-mounts-598 http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/117405-broken-motor-mount.html http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/dealership-experience/285443-450-replace-1-motor-mount-dealer-wtf.html http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=194374 http://anaphoral.blogspot.com/2012/02/honda-civic-engine-vibration-fix.html http://www.civicforums.com/forums/197-mechanical-problems-vehicle-issues-fix-forum/351877-motor-mount-vibration.html http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/279863-defective-motor-mounts-help.html http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2897153 http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2989384. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Srs light on. dealer said floor wire harness is crimped and air bags will not deploy in a crash. serious safety issue. *tr

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? *tr

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. now it is happening again to the drivers side, at 53,000 miles, again has not been replaced. *tr

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 *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving approximately 30 mph, the contact noticed smoke emitting from under the hood accompanied by a burning odor. in addition, there was a sudden loss of power steering without any warning indicators being illuminated. the contact was able to drive to a safe location and the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer who stated that the failure was contributed to a cracked engine block. the vehicle was being repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

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. *tr

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 vibration cannot be good for the vehicle. this could be a safety issue. *tr

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving 25 mph he engaged the brakes to stop at a traffic light however, the vehicle failed to stop. the contact mentioned that he had to engage the emergency brake in order to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. the vehicle was towed to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure and the current mileage was 51,000.

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. *tr

Driver side sun visor is falling apart. why no recall? *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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! *tr

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!! *tr

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. *tr

I replaced the original tires on my 2007 honda civic at 49,749 miles. i thought this was a little premature, but the tread was getting thin so i went to discount tire on 12-28-2010 and had 4 new tires placed on the vehicle. after less than 19,000 miles on the new tires, the passenger-side rear tire was making a loud noise. the technician at discount tire inspected it and stated that the inside edge of the tire is cupping (or looks choppy) and this is typically due to bad suspension, wheel bearings or alignment. i took the vehicle to tom's auto repair and had it inspected for the wheel bearings and shocks and had a 4 wheel alignment done for $55.00. they stated the wheel bears and shocks looked fine and that the alignment wasn't that bad. i then took the car back to discount tire and they agreed to replace the passenger-side rear tire for the replacement cost of $13.25. the technician commented that the driver-side rear tire was also starting to show signs of the same wear pattern, i.e. cupping on the inner edge. the tire which they replaced is not available as it was disposed of by discount tire. i researched on-line and found honda had issued technical service bulletin # 08-001 back on april 11, 2008, with a revision issued on february 5, 2009. from reading numerous on-line consumer comments about this tire issue (which is directly attributable to a honda design flaw in the vehicle suspension), i get the feeling honda's fix will not actually fix the problem. *tr

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. *tr

A new team tex america car seat was given to a family through the emergency department as the family tried to put the seat in with the lower anchors it was discovered that a part of the lower anchor that secures it to the seat seemed to be melted. upon further investigation it appears that the manufacturer used a heating process to connect the lower anchor and any small amount of pulling on this piece causes the heated area to separate from the connection on the seat itself.

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. *tr

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. *tr

Popping noise while turning at 5,268 miles. replaced two tires at 19,785 miles. need a front end axle replacement at 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

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 *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Tl* 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.

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. *tr

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. *js

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. *tr

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. *tr

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 a problem with high rpm's and increased acceleration and rough idling at 34000 miles. i took it to the dealer who replaced the engine mount which 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! *tr

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? *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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 wheels were 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. *kb

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle began to spin out of control. the contact was able to stop the vehicle. after inspecting the vehicle the contact noticed that the rear passenger side wheel was detached from the vehicle. the police were called and reported to the scene, a police report was filed. the contact sustained neck injuries as a result of the failure. the vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection. the contact was unaware of the specific repairs. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 07v399000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:wheel speed sensor) but was advised by the manufacturer that the vin was not included in the recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 77,000. kmj

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated the rear end of the vehicle would sway back and forth while driving various 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.

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. *tr

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. there is no such vibration while driving. 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. i am not sure if any tsb was released by american honda for the same... *tr

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic si. the contact stated while driving 25 mph the vehicle would stall for about three seconds and then restart and stall completely. the malfunction indicator lamp would illuminate before the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who rebooted the computer but after a couple days the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 88,382.

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. the contact stated that after having routine service performed on the vehicle, she was advised that two motor mounts were fractured. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

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. *tr

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. *kb

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. *tr

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.. *tt

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *kb

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 honda dealer 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! *tr

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=2225229 my tires are 60,000 mile all 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! *kb

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. my civic 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. *tr

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 often the 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). *tr

Air conditioning was working intermittently. would blow cool air then warm air. called the mechanic and he asked me to bring in the car. before i could do that, the car overheated and smelled of burning smoke. took the car to the mechanic. they replaced the water pump - said it was leaking. after replacing that, they tested it and found a cracked engine block. was informed that i would have to take my car to the dealer for a new engine. after researching this on the internet, found it was under an extended 8 year warranty by honda. the dealer would not pay for the loaner or rental car, so i am out a rental for a week, plus the cost of the water pump at $362, plus a missed day of work to figure this all out, plus the depreciation on my car that is now considered a defective automobile. it's a honda 2007 civic ex. *tr

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.

1.- 2007 honda civic rear tire control arms are defective, causing problems with tires. alignment geometry of back tires is not proper, tires are not vertical. 2.- tires wear off unevenly making them unsafe. 3.- i replaced tires a few months ago and had tires aligned. new tires are render useless/unsafe in a few months. *tr

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 is very wrong, particularly when honda has acknowledged defective part, and it is clearly a safety issue. *tr

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. *tr

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.

Faulty suspension causes tires to wear quickly and unevenly. tires develop cups that cause excessive vibration at all speeds.

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. *tr

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. *tr

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 car began 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.

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. *tr

I drive a 2007 honda civic, and lately the driver's side sun visor has been difficult to move. this has been happening for over a year now, and last week i noticed the casing near the rod around which the visor rotates cracking. today the visor came off completely and i realize that the teeth securing the visor to the rod don't rotate around the rod anymore, forcing the plastic in the visor to warp and eventually break completely. this causes the visor to stay completely down, blocking much of the field of vision. as the vehicle is out of warranty, i'm sure i'll have to pay for the part. *tr

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 the si. 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. *tr

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! *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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 has load 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. *tr

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. *tr

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.

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

2007 honda civic sun visor falls apart in sun. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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 honda shop 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.

Tl*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 the warranty 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.

My 2007 honda civic slid into the concrete wall on interstate 20 in arlington texas 45 mph crash and car is totaled but no air bags were deployed. i have pictures. i believe the airbag failed in this crash. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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! *tr

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 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.
