2006 Honda Civic complaints

WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED A LEAK ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE ENGINE WHILE CHANGING OIL IN MY WIFE'S 2006 CIVIC. FIRST TIME, THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A LEAKY OIL PAN GASKET BOLT WHICH THEY TIGHTENED. THIS TIME I AM TOLD THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS LEAKING AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS 18 MONTHS OLD WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT. THE HONDA DEALER IS CURRENTLY REPAIRING THE CAR FOR $470 BY REPLACING THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A YEAR THIS OLD! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD ROAD NOISE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE UNEVENLY WORN, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO NOT ROTATE THE TIRES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 22,652 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,300. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE BATTERY PACK(BETWEEN REAR SEAT AND TRUNK) IS CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. UPDATED 07/10/07 *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX ON 3/18/06. ON 8/31/06 AFTER 15,658 HIGHWAY MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE INNER FRONT BRAKE PAD WORE OUT AND RUINED THE ROTOR. I REPLACED THE ROTOR, PAD, AND CALIPER WITH ORIGINAL HONDA PARTS. MY DAUGHTER HAS COMPLAINED THAT THIS CAR'S BRAKING IS "UNSTABLE". NOW AT 34,000 MILES THE FRONT INNER PADS ARE WORN TO METAL AGAIN. THE OUTER PADS AND REAR SHOES ARE STILL VERY SERVICEABLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HONDA AND THEY BOTH FAIL TO ADMIT A PROBLEM OR OFFER A SOLUTION. I THINK THIS CAR'S BRAKES HAVE A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES THE FRONT INNER PADS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. AND I THINK THIS FLAW ALSO CAUSES UNSTABLE BRAKING. I HAVE THE CAR AND THE OLD PARTS FOR INSPECTION. *TR

I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. AFTER MOVING ABOUT 1.5 FEET, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BREAKING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE SEQUENCE REPEATED ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF BOTH SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS. FINALLY, AFTER ABOUT A 2 MINUTE PAUSE, THE AIRBAG CONTAINED IN THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER SEAT DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG CONTAINED WITHIN THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) CONDENSER WAS LOCATED. IT SEEMED THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE A/C IN THE CAR WAS NOT WORKING, BROUGHT TO HONDA, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER FROM ROAD DEBRIS. THIS WAS A DESIGN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. THEREWAS NO PROTECTION ON THE GRILLE. THE GRILLE WAS WIDE OPEN.*AK

THE 2006 CIVIC AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) STOPPED WORKINGAT ONLY 16,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE A/C CONDENSER WAS PUNCTURED BY ROAD DEBRIS AND THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILTY TO PAY THE $575 FOR THE REPAIR. HONDA AMERICA AVOIDED THE ISSUE, AND STATED THE SAME. AFTER REVIEWING INTERNET FORUMS IT APPEARED THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT THE A/C CONDENSER UNIT WAS NOT PROTECTED AND WAS VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE EASILY. I WASVERY UPSET THAT HONDA HAD NOT ACTED WITH GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICES, AND WASTRYING TO AVOID THE MATTER. *AK

TL-CALLER OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. CURRENT MILEAGE 7000. FAILURE MILEAGE 6890. WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THERE WAS A THUMPING SOUND AND A SHAKING FROM REAR OF CAR. WIFE WAS ABLE TO STEER CAR OFF HIGHWAY AND ONTO SHOULDER. AS SHE BROUGHT VEHICLE TO A STOP SHE COULD SEE THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL WOBBLING. SHE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAID WHEEL HUB HAS FAILED. SPECULATED PROBLEM WAS WITH MANUFACTURER OF THE WHEEL HUB. WEATHER WAS SUNNY. HE DOES NOT KNOW THE PURCHASE DATE OR ENGINE SIZE. KTF THE DEALER REPLACED THE WHEEL HUB. UPDATED 06/13/07. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX IN THE US AND BROUGHT IT TO KOREA WITH ME A FEW MONTHS AGO. I, HOWEVER, JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN LEAKING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD BE REPLACED SOON CAUSE IT MIGHT LEADS TO AN ACCIDENT IF IT'S NOT FIXED. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THIS PART MUST BE DEFECTED IN THE BEGINNING BUT THE PROBLEM FOR ME IS THAT THE HONDA WOULD NOT FIX IT WITH FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE I PURCHASED IT IN THE US AND IT'S IN KOREA NOW. I DON'T THINK IT'S FARE FOR CONSUMERS (CAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY). IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET IT FIXED WITH FREE OF CHARGE?? *AK

2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID CUSTOMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER AND CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP TIME TO BRING CAR IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WORK COULDN'T BE DONE ON THE WEEKEND AND THAT THEY DON'T GIVE RENTAL CARS**NAR**CC *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. IN LATE APRIL OF 2007, THE ENGINE LIGHT, ICA LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE DEALER PERFORMED A REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE STILL OCCURS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 5,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN JANUARY OF 2006 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN AUBURN, WA.. TWO WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THE A/C HAD STOPPED WORKING, SO I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND REPAIRED. THE CAR HAS ONLY 11,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE CONDENSER WHICH IS BETWEEN THE OPEN GRILL OF THE BUMPER AND THE RADIATOR. THE CONDENSER, MADE OF APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MATERIAL AS ALUMINUM FOIL AND ACTUALLY ALUMINUM, IS COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED. THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC IS WIDESPREAD AND ACROSS NEW HONDA MODELS. IF A SMALL PEBBLE OR ANY OTHER TINY HARD ELEMENT HAPPENS TO STRIKE THE COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED CONDENSER IT KNOCKS A NEARLY INVISIBLE (WE CAN'T SEE IT) HOLE IN IT, WHICH IN TURN KNOCKS OUT ALL A/C. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS A POOR DESIGN TO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROTECTION FOR THIS PART. THE PERSON SAID, YES, THEY UNDERSTAND BUT CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP AND THAT THEY SEE THIS EVERY WEEK. I WAS TOLD TO CALL HONDAS CONSUMER COMPLAINT LINE, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME STORY AND THAT THEY ARE LOOKING INTO FIXING IT FOR FUTURE MODELS. THEY ALL TOLD ME TO CLAIM IT ON INSURANCE, THAT IT IS A ROAD HAZARD PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY IT'S A DESIGN PROBLEM, AND HAD I KNOWN ABOUT IT I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED A TOYOTA. DEDUCTIBLE ON MY INSURANCE IS $500.00 AND THE COST TO FIX IS $600.00, IT WOULD MAKE NO SENSE TO CLAIM IT AND TAKE THE HIT ON INSURANCE COSTS. HONDA NOT ONLY WILL NOT DISCUSS ANY

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MY CARS INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK, ALL GAUGES WENT OUT. THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE CARS ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING. IT IS A HYBRID AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN THE AUTO STOP MODE WHEN YOU ARE AT A LIGHT, THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING (AT LEAST YOU COULD NOT TELL IT WAS RUNNING). I TURNED THE CARS IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED UP AGAIN AND THE GAUGES WERE WORKING AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE SYMPTOMS. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER FOR ERROR CODES AND FOUND NONE. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE STATED THAT THERE WERE TO MANY COMPUTERS AND WIRES FOR THEN TO CHECK THEM ALL AND WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED ONE OTHER TIME WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVE WAY DURING THE WINTER IDLING. WHEN WE GOT IN THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES, WE NOTICED THAT ALL GAUGES WERE OUT. AGAIN, TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR CLEARED THE PROBLEM. *TR

HONDA COMMON SENSE FAILURE. HONDA PLACES THEIR AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) CONDENSER AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROTECTION, IE A SCREEN TO DEFLECT PEBBLES, RESULTING IN AN EASY TARGET FOR PEBBLES TO PUNCTURE THE FRAGILE CONDENSER TUBE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT HONDA IS REFUSING TO DEAL WITH. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT IN HIS THREE YEARS WORKING FOR HONDA, HE PERSONALLY HAS DEALT WITH ABOUT 100 OF THESE FAILURES. HOWEVER. HE DID NOT SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND LIKENED THE FAILURE TO A CHIPPED WINDSHIELD. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS AT A SINGLE DEALERSHIP, WITH A SINGLE REPRESENTATIVE AMONG SEVERAL. DURING COMMON, EVERYDAY, FREEWAY DRIVING, $657 DAMAGE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS A CHIPPED WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD IS A PROTECTIVE DEVICE, AND THEREFORE DEFLECTING PEBBLES AND OTHER ROAD HAZARDS IS EXPECTED. I DON'T THINK THE A/C CONDENSER SHOULD FALL UNDER THE SAME CATEGORY AS MY FORMER HONDA DEALER HAS IMPLIED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION EXCEPT TO BE RECOMMENDED TO MAKE IT AN INSURANCE CLAIM OR PAY THE $657 OUT OF POCKET. A $657 REPAIR MAY BE EXPECTED WHEN BUYING A USED VEHICLE, BUT WHEN THIS SORT OF DAMAGE IS SUSTAINED DURING EVERYDAY DRIVING WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR OF PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE AND IS NOT THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE BY THE DRIVER, IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE TOLERATED. RECALL. *AK

I HAVE FELT FOR SOME TIME THAT AS I AM ROLLING TO A STOP AT 10-15MPH AND APPLY THE BRAKES THAT THERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE RPMS FROM 600 TO 1000 OR SLIGHTLY MORE. THE SUDDEN REVVING IS ENOUGH THAT I HAVE SENSED THAT THE CAR COULD ACTUALLY CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN I INTEND FOR IT TO STOP AND PERHAPS CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. RELATED TO THIS, I HAD ONE INSTANCE WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THAT I HAD TO APPLY GREAT FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID RUNNING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT THE END OF THE SPACE. I HAD INITIALLY THOUGHT I MAY HAVE PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BY ACCIDENT, BUT DOUBTED THAT AT THE TIME, AND NOW SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT GIVEN SOME OTHER REPORTS I HAVE READ ON THE WEB.*AK

THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL GEARBOX AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS VERY STIFF TO OPERATE. THIS COMBINED WITH A FAIRLY LONG TRAVEL COULD REQUIRE SHORT DIVERS TO POSITION THEIR SEAT VERY CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO GET ENOUGH LEVERAGE IN THEIR LEG TO FULLY DEPRESS THE CLUTCH PEDAL PRIOR TO STARING THE ENGINE. THE INCIDENT DATE IS NON-SPECIFIC AS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAVE RAISED MY CONCERN WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY CANNOT REDUCE THE STIFFNESS OF THE CLUTCH ACTION OR REPOSITION THE ENGINE DISCONNECT SWITCH (SO THAT THE PEDAL DOES NOT NEED TO BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR). *JB

THE INCIDENT DATE IS NON-SPECIFIC AS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. THE SUN VISORS ARE VERY STIFF AND THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO RAISE AND LOWER THEM FREQUENTLY RESULTS IN THE VISOR SPRINGING AWAY FROM THE RETAINING CLIP. THIS MOVEMENT COULD STARTLE UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS OR RESULT IN THE VISOR HITTING THE DRIVER'S HEAD. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE VISORS HAD TO BE THAT STIFF OR THEY WOULD "FLOP" DOWN. THIS IS INACCURATE - WE HAVE A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA THAT HAS A VERY LIGHT ACTION ON THE SUN VISORS AND TO-DATE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VISOR "FLOPPING" DOWN. I HAD HOPED THAT THE VISOR MECHANISM WOULD SLACKEN WITH TIME; HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING HER 2006 HONDA CIVIC AT 40 MPH, SHE TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT COULD NOT GET TO THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE ON TIME BEFORE IT COLLIDED WITH THE REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION THE CONTACT AND PASSENGER WERE WEARING SEATBELTS, AND THE DAMAGED WAS IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT WAS TOWED. THE DRIVER SUFFERED INJURIES ON HER NECK AND WAS EXPERIENCING CHEST PAIN AND HAD TO BE TAKEN IN AN AMBULANCE, THE PASSENGER DID NOT NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION OF THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, BUT SINCE THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SORENESS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 MILES. THE CONTACT CAN PROVIDE POLICE REPORT IF NEEDED.

MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX HAD APPROXIMATELY 20000 MILES ON IT AS OF 3/20/07. I BOUGHT IT NEW OVER A YEAR AGO AT ABOUT 10000 MILES . I STARTED HEARING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER , WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE TWO REAR TIRES HAD FLAT SPOTS. THEY ASKED ME IF I HAD DRIVEN WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. I DID NOT DRIVE IT WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HELP ME, AND ASKED ME TO CALL BRIDGESTONE TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER TIRE WARRANTY. BRIDGESTONE TOLD ME IT WAS A VEHICLE ISSUE, AND WOULD NOT HELP ME. I THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME HONDA DEALER 1000 MILES LATER AND PAID $45 FOR THEM TO TELL ME I NEEDED NEW REAR TIRES. THAT WAS DUMB ON MY PART CONSIDERING I KNEW THAT, BUT I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE A WARRANTY ISSUE . I ASKED THEM WHAT I WOULD DO IF THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, HE SAID IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY WANTED $425 FOR TWO REAR TIRES PLUS AN ALIGNMENT. I SAID NO, AND TOOK IT TO SULLIVAN TIRE, WHO REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH SUPERIOR GOOD YEAR TIRES FOR UNDER $425. THE ONE THING WORTH NOTING, THEY SAID THE VEHICLE DID NOT NEED AN ALIGNMENT, AND THEREFORE DID NOT DO ONE NOR DID THEY CHARGE ME FOR ONE. I ASKED HOW THE REAR TIRES BECAME SO CHOPPY, AND THEY SAID MAYBE IT WASH SUSPENSION ISSUE OR DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT I WILL WAIT NOW TO SEE IF THE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE GOODYEAR TIRES. *AK

I BOUGHT A NEW 2006 HONDA CIVIC AND TOOK DELIVERY IN JULY 2006. FROM THE TIME OF DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE, IT WAS NOTICEABLE THAT THE REAR END OR REAR TIRES OF THE HONDA CIVIC WERE VERY NOISY. LACKING SUFFICIENT TIME, I DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE NOISE UNTIL OUR TRIP TO ARIZONA IN EARLY MARCH, 2007. WHEN WE ARRIVED IN ARIZONA, I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES FOR THE FIRST TIME TO EXAMINE THE REAR TIRES. TO MY AMAZEMENT, THEY WERE WORN OUT AT 21,000 MILES - TO THE POINT WHERE STEEL BELTS WERE PROTRUDING FROM THE TIRES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER IN TUCSON. AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTS, THEY CLAIMED THAT THE CAR HAD NO DEFECT - I HAD TWO DEFECTIVE REAR TIRES. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT BOTH REAR TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE WOULD WEAR SO BADLY, WHILE THE FRONT TIRES ON THE FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE CAR WERE IN EXCELLENT CONDITON FOR 21,000 MILES. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A SERVICE BULLETION FROM ACURA - A DIVISION OF HONDA. THE SERVICE BULLETIN 05-076 DATED JANUARY 19, 2007 STATED THAT THE ACURA 2004 & 2005 HAD AN ISSUE WITH "PREMATURE REAR TIRE WEAR". THE PROBLEM WAS DESCRIBED AS: "THE REAR TIRES ARE WEARING PREMATURELY (UNEVENLY ACROSS THE TREAD). PROBABLE CAUSE: THE REAR TOE INCREASES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LOADED" THE DESCRIPTION AND PICTURES OF TIRE WEAR IN THIS SERVICE BULLETIN EXACTLY MATCH WHAT I FOUND IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. I HAD JUST CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE IN ALL FOUR TIRES. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE HONDA CIVIC, THE REAR TIRES ARE DIFFICULT TO SEEN WITHOUT KNEELING. WHEN

XI HAVE OWNED A 2006 CIVIC HYBRID FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NOTICED THAT A LIGHT APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL CAN RESULT IN A SUDDEN ACCELERATION} RATHER THAN IN BRAKING. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, I WOULD SAY APPROXIMATELY ONCE A MONTH. IT SEEMS LIKE A MALFUNCTION IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM RUNNING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. ON ONE OCCASION LAST APRIL THIS RESULTED IN A MINOR ACCIDENT. AT THE TIME I HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A SHORT INTERVAL AND WAS SURPRISED AT THIS STRANGE REACTION OF THE CAR. SINCE THAT TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF YOU HAVE HAD OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM AND WHETHER YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. SINCE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT EFFECT IT IS NO USE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JB

TL* - THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL 07V034000 FOR AN INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST CABLE. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN PLACED ON A WAITING LIST TO RECEIVE THE PART. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19000. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19000.*AK

THE A/C CONDENSER ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC WAS DAMAGED BY A SMALL PEBBLE. THE REPAIR BILL IS $500. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE WITH HONDA. *JB

GASOLINE FUMES ENTER THE CAR THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM AFTER START UP WHEN CAR HAS BEEN SITTING. *NM

MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED. THE FRONT IMPACT ABSORBING REINFORCEMENT BAR HAD COLLAPSED. I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 20-30 KILOMETERS PER HOUR IN SNOWY CONDITIONS. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX, HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. ON 11/16/06, WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT NOTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPM MONITOR SHOWED THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING QUICKLY. HE HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES REALLY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE THEM FOR 2 DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP DROVE THE VEHICLE, AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE OR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM . THE CONTACT WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH MANUFACTURER, AND WILL SUBMIT THE CASE # WITH THE HARD COPY. THE FAILURE MILEAGES WAS 9500 , AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13800.*AK UPDATED 03/30/07. *JB

MY 2006 HONDA HYBRID HAS A SURGE PROBLEM. I'VE SMELLED BATTERY FLUIDS BEFORE PLUS THE IMA DRIVE SHUTS DOWN UNDER LOAD (LONG-DISTANCE FREEWAY DRIVING) WHICH CAUSES MULTIPLE DRIVABILITY ISSUES. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO THE ADVERTISED MPG LEVELS WHILE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED AN ACCIDENT THAT I BELIEVE MAY HAVE BEEN SURGE INSTIGATED AS THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD. I WAS PARKED AND HAD JUST COVERED THE BRAKE AFTER ASSESSING THE ROADWAY WHEN A WOMAN HIT ME. SHE STATED IT WAS MY FAULT BUT I HAD THE BRAKE ON AND MY WORK PARTNER SAW SOMETHING RELATED TO THIS ON THE TELEVISIONS AT A SHELL GAS STATION RELAYING THE INFORMATION TO ME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACQUIRE ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE PAID (PAYING) 35 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THIS VEHICLE I FEEL HONDA OWES ME AN EXPLANATION AT THE VERY LEAST. I NEVER REPORTED THE DEFECTS AS I WAS UNDER THE BELIEF IT WAS JUST MY AMPLIFIER THAT WAS SMELLING BUT NOW I AM UNSURE. I HAVE HAD POOR SERVICE FROM CARSON HONDA IN THE PAST AND AM RELUCTANT TO USE THEM IN THE FUTURE SO IF YOU CAN HELP ME, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. *JB

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE THE ACCELERATOR SPED OUT OF CONTROL WHILE IN REVERSE CAUSING MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID TO CRASH INTO MY HOUSE. *NM

TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC COUPE . WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A VEHICLE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. NEITHER THE DRIVER'S FRONT NOR THE PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. *AK

AC NOT WORKING - SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS CONDENSER ON MY 06 CIVIC WAS DAMAGED BY ROAD HAZARD. *NM

I PURCHASED 2006 HONDA CIVIC 4-DR. THE REAR OF THE CAR IS LOWER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BY APPROXIMATELY 1/2" TO 3/4". THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND I AM WORRIED IT MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE SEEN OTHER MODEL VEHICLES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO TOOK BACK A 2ND TIME WITH NO POSITIVE RESPONSE. *JB

AT ABOUT 11,000 MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 6 MONTHS OLD, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FROM THAT POINT FORWARD, THE PROBLEMS BEGAN TO ESCALATE. THE VEHICLE ENGINE BEGAN TO REDUCE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE FROM 75 TO 50, 50 TO 35 AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION, 45 TO 25 WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. ON ALL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 2/2006 FINALLY CONCEDED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REFERRED TO AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION FOR MEDIATION AND A BUY BACK PRICE. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THE VEHICLE MEETS ALL TEST REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA LEMON LAW. AMERICAN HONDA WANTS TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE AND REPLACE THE ENGINE, THEN RESELL.. HONDA CIVIC SEDAN WITH NAVIGATION. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND NOT RESOLD ON THE MARKETPLACE. *JB

MY SON GOT OUT OF A FRIENDS CAR AND SLAMMED THE DOOR AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IT'S A 2 DOOR 2006 HONDA CIVIC. HONDA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER WARRANTY. THE AIR BAGS AND HEADLINER ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED ,BUT I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA KEPT THE OLD PARTS. *NM

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC AND LAST FALL MY AC STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD A PEBBLE HAD GONE THROUGH THE OPEN GRILL AND DAMAGED THE CONDENSER. THEY SHOWED ME THE DAMAGE WHICH IS ALMOST NOT NOTICEABLE. VERY LIGHT AND CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE AC TO STOP WORKING. THIS IS POOR DESIGN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. AND, IT SEEMS, IT IS NOT CONFINED TO JUST THE CIVIC BUT WITH SEVERAL HONDA VEHICLES. THE DEALER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY AND TOLD ME TO GO TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. HOGWASH. I'M NOT GOING TO PAY A HIGH DEDUCTIBLE OR THE $700 REPAIR BILL. I AM GOING TO FIGHT HONDA ON THIS ONE, AND I HOPE OTHER HONDA OWNERS WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE. *NM

I STOPPED AT A CROSSWALK TO LET INDIVIDUALS CROSS AND WHILE I WAS STOPPED THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND IT FELT LIKE I REALLY NEEDED TO PUSH DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GOING FORWARD.. A LITTLE SCARY. *NM

2006 HONDA CIVIC HARBORS MICE IN AIR DUCTS/HEATER FAN/CABIN AIR FILTER ASSY. HONDA REFUSES TO PUT SCREEN ON INPUT TO OUTSIDE AIR INLET. MICE INFESTED CAR. I HAVE ALLERGYS THAT CAUSE ME TO SNEEZE AND HAVE ASTHMA ATTACKS. I BELIEVE THESE ATTACKS LEAD TO DANGERS WHILE DRIVING. HONDA SAYS 'MICE STUFF' IS HAZARDOUS MATERIAL BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY DEALER 'VACUUMED UP 'MICE STUFF'. HOWEVER ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT GUIDLINES VACUUMING 'MICE STUFF' CAN CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD. SHOULD BE DISINFECTED.

THE RIM ON THE CAR BROKE TOO EASILY. I RAN OVER A POT HOLE ON THE FREEWAY AND IT CRACKED THE INSIDE OF THE RIM AND FLATTENED THE TIRE. THE CAR IS ONE MONTH OLD AND ONE RIM PLUS THE TIRE WILL COST $600. *NM

SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN PARKING. *JB

AFTER BACKING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED VERY RAPIDLY. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. AFTER RESTARTING ,THE CAR RESPONDED NORMALLY WHEN IT WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. FORTUNATELY, MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE SO THERE WAS NO PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. HOWEVER, THIS GREATLY CONCERNS ME. I NOTED YOUR WEBSITE HAS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY INDICATED THERE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS OF THIS SORT. THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WILL DO SO, BUT THE DEALER AND I BOTH AGREE IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MY EXPERIENCE, AS WELL AS THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHER PERSONS WHO HAVE CONTACTED YOU, INDICATES THERE IS A STRONG LIKELIHOOD OF A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2006 CIVIC EX IN DECEMBER OF 2005. WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THE RIGHT DRIVER SIDE A/C VENT STARTED TO RATTLE AS WELL AS AROUND BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT ADJUSTERS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE VENT BUT COULD NOT LOCATED THE NOISE BY THE SEAT BELT ADJUSTERS. AT THIS TIME, THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAD BEEN LEAKING AND REPAIRED THIS WAS WELL. AT MY NEXT SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE, I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE A/C VENT RATTLING MORE THAN BEFORE THE AND THE RATTLING AROUND THE SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTERS HAD INCREASED. THEY INSTALLED A NEW A/C VENT FOR THE SECOND TIME. THEY ALSO WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE AFTER TAKING OFF THE PANEL WHERE THE SEAT BELT ADJUSTERS ARE LOCATED, THAT IT WAS POORLY INSULATED AND ADDED FELT TAPE. THE NEW A/C VENT IS MORE STURDY THAN THE ORIGINAL AND FIRST REPLACEMENT SO IT NO LONGER RATTLES. THE FELT TAPE INSULATION HAS ALSO STOPPED THE SEAT BELT ADJUSTER FROM RATTLING. HOWEVER IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE ADDITIONAL RATTLING WHICH I HAVE LOCATED TO INSIDE OF CEILING DIRECTLY BEHIND THE MOON ROOF. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THERE WAS A LOSS OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, AND THE VEHICLE STRUCK A TREE. THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE A FAILURE AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE WERE ALERTED, AND A REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. AFTERWARDS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 12/29/06. *JB

MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAS EXPERIENCE FRONT END NOISES (SQUEAKING, CREAKING LIKE AN OLD PICKUP TRUCK). WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE FRONT LEFT STRUT WAS WORN AND REPLACED IT. THE NOISE HAS NOT ABATED DESPITE THE CHANGE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HANDLING OF THIS VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. *NM

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON UNBUCKLED THE SEAT BELT WHILE IN CAR SEAT WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. HE MANAGED TO GET THE SEAT BELT TWISTED AROUND HIS WAIST AND CHEST. HE STARTED SCREAMING, AND WHEN I TRIED TO GET SLACK IN SEAT BELT, THERE WAS NONE. IT KEPT RESTRICTING HIM AND STARTED TO EFFECT HIS BREATHING, WHICH BECAME LABORED AND SHALLOW. AS MUCH AS I TRIED I COULD GET NO SLACK. I WENT TO LOOK FOR A KNIFE AND HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO FREE HIM. I TOOK IT INTO STEPHEN WADE HONDA. THEY LOOKED AT THE OTHER SEAT BELT IN THE BACK SEAT AND SAID IT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, BUT HAD NO SLACK WHEN UNLOCKED LIKE THE OTHERS. MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THIS. WHEN A SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED, THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO GET SLACK AND PULL IT OUT TO AVOID THESE VERY SITUATIONS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND THE CAM SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REDONE SO IT ALLOWS MORE SLACK FOR EMERGENCIES. *JB

I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CAR ON 8 OCCASIONS HAS NOT RESTARTED WHEN IN THE AUTO STOP MODE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. MY DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT. I AM STUCK IN TRAFFIC UNTIL I RESTART THE CAR BY GOING TO PARK. I FEEL I AM A SITTING DUCK AND SOONER OR LATER WILL BE REAR ENDED. *NM

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THIS CAR IS EQUIPTED WITH A COMPLEX WEIGHT SENSOR SYSTEM WHICH ARMS/DISARMS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. WHEN THE CAR LEFT THE FACTORY THE SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER ONE ROUND OF RECALL WORK, THE SYSTEM WAS STILL DEFFECTIVE. I DO NOT BELEIVE THE COMPANY HAS ANY CLEAR IDEA HOW TO MAKE THIS COMPLEX SYSTEM FUNCTION IN A RELIABLE MANNER. I WANT THEM TO FIX THE SYSTEM SO THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE ARMED ALL THE TIME. HONDA REFUSES TO ALLOW THIS TO BE DONE. MY PASSENGER'S SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO TURN ON THE ARIR BAGS ALL THE TIME.

PURCHASED NEW HONDA CIVIC EX ON 5/25/06 1ST FAILURE ON 7/21/2006: FRONT AND REAR (TAIL) RUNNING LIGHTS FAILED WITH 1666 MILES ON THE CAR ---- DEALERSHIP REPLACED FUSE BOX. KEPT CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS 2ND FAILURE ON 7/31/2006: FRONT AND REAR (TAIL) RUNNING LIGHTS AGAIN FAILED ---- HEADLIGHT SWITCH REPLACED, CAR DRIVEN BY DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS TO ENSURE REPAIR SUCCESSFUL 3RD FAILURE ON 10/22/2006: FRONT AND REAR (TAIL) RUNNING LIGHTS AGAIN STOPPED WORKING ---- HONDA AMERICA WANTED CAR BACK TO INVESTIGATE/REPAIR LIGHTS ---- DECLINED REQUEST AND INSTEAD HAVE ASKED HONDA TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE, INVOKING THE LEMON LAW BUYBACK PROVISION BECAUSE UNRELIABLE/INTERMITTENT REAR RUNNING LIGHTS FAILURE CAN LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND TWO FAILED REPAIR ATTEMPTS ARE SUFFICIENT TO INVOKE THE BUYBACK PROVISION IN OUR STATE. HONDA SENT THIS DEMAND TO INTERNAL HONDA ARBITRATION BOARD. IT IS NOW 11/2/2006 - 11 DAYS AFTER NOTIFYING THEM OF LIGHTS FAILING FOR 3RD TIME. *NM

I WAS DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN DIES. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. I TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT IT JUST WOULD NOT START. IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY OR GOING INTO A TURN I BELIEVE THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR I COULD HAVE INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAN FRANCISCO DEALERSHIP (GREAT DEALERSHIP) AND THEY SAID THAT THE BOLT TENSIONER BROKE, "HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO BREAK A BOLT, IT WAS VERY THICK?". THEY REPLACED THE BOLT AND WATER PUMPTHE ,CAR RUNS FINE, BUT I STILL WORY THAT THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY TIME. *NM

2006 CIVIC STEERING WHEEL IS DIFFICULT TO TURN BACK TO STRAIGHT POSITION. * TS WHEN THE CONSUMER MADE A LEFT LANE CHANGE AND ATTEMPTED TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL HE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO STRAIGHT. THE CONSUMER HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE EFFORT TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING A CONCRETE DIVIDER. ONCE THE CONSUMER DID THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT NORMAL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH ON CITY STREETS, THE PASSENGER AND BOTH SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT.

AFTER DRIVING 10 MILES AND PARKING, THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. UPON BACKING OUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. AFTER THIS, THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE TO GO BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE. WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE CAR CONTINUED IN REVERSE. THE ENGINE WAS THEN TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED 1 MINUTE LATER. EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED 11-OCT-2006 AND 1 PREVIOUS TIME LAST MONTH. HONDA HAS NO RECORD OF THIS ON 2006 CIVIC. *NM
