2006 Honda Civic complaints

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE FRONT WHEEL MADE CLICKING NOISE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHILE I WAS DOING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL AT A DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC THERE TOLD ME THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WAS BROKEN, AND THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THE WHEEL BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AM SITTING IN A MECHANIC SHOP TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE DRIVE SHAFT AND WHEEL BEARING NOW ( WHICH COSTS ME 500 BUCKS), THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING IS ALSO BROKEN. I REALIZE THE WHEEL BEARING PROBLEM COULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. INDEED, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE O-RING IN 2006( NOT SURE IF MY CAR WAS IN THE RECALL OR NOT), AND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN FILED HERE ON NHTSA. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE DRIVING ON THE ROADS NOW, WHICH MIGHT CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS. I WISH THE COMPANY TAKE ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE RAN HOT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, LEFT THE CAR UNTIL IT COOLED, ADDED WATER, AND BROUGHT IT HOME. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID I HAD A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. A USED ENGINE WOULD COST $2100. I DON'T KNOW WHAT A NEW ONE WOULD COST. I WAS TOLD I COULD GO THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE USED ENGINE THAT I DID HAVE INSTALLED. I ALSO WAS TOLD ABOUT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I TALKED WITH SOMEONE AT HONDA CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD 2 TIMES THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING BECAUSE MY 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED IN AUGUST 2016. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON APRIL 22, 2017 WITH 98500 MILES ON THE CAR.IF HONDA KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIAL, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I HAVE SUNG HONDA'S PRAISES FOR 20 YEARS WITH 2 CARS. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HONDA HAS ENDED.

MY CIVIC HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT. HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY OUT TEN YRS FROM ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE BUT DID NOT NOTIFY OWNERS OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR CAN OVERHEAT AND/OR ENGINE FAILS WITHOUT WARNING AND STEERING LOCKS UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE AS THEIR ACTIONS HAVE NOT ONLY BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE BUT FRAUDULENT. THERE SHOULD BE NO TIME LIMIT ON A MANUFACTURE DEFECT PARTICULARLY WHEN OWNERS DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE HONDA CIVIC ON FRIDAY MORNING 4/16/16 WITH SOME OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR WHEN FUMES STARTED COMING OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. HE PULLED OVER BECAUSE IT WAS OVERHEATING. TOOK THE CAR TO MIDAS WHICH WAS CLOSED BY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE. HE WAS ASKED BY MIDAS $2600 TO GET THE ENGINE REPLACED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I TOLD THEM THAT IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE WHY DIDN'T THEY ISSUE A RECALL. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE. PEOPLE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT FROM THIS INCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL, PROPELLANT WAFERS DEGRADE OVER TIME. SEE ATTACHED FOR DETAILS. I FIRST RECEIVED THIS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA. THE PHONE REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED HERSON'S HONDA LOCATED IN 15525 FREDERICK RD, ROCKVILLE, MD 20855 AND SET UP A PHONE APPOINTMENT. WHEN I SPOKE TO HERSON'S THE POC TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND DEALERSHIP WILL CONTACT ME ONCE IT ARRIVES. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT IT COULD TAKE MORE THAN 90 DAYS. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON BUT I DO NOT THINK HONDA IS TAKING THIS SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUSLY.

NOTICED A ENGINE BLOCK COOLANT LEAK IN THE FRONT. THERE IS A TSB 10-048 BUT ONLY FOR 10YRS FROM 2006. CLEARLY THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THE ENGINE REPLACE FROM HONDA

PAINT AND CLEAR COAT PEELING.

THE CAR WAS SOLD AS STOLEN AND SALVAGED TITLE.. IT WAS IN 2 ACCIDENTS PRIOR TO SALE. IT IS UNABLE TO BE INSURED AND HAS BEEN REPOED. LOOKOUT FOR IT TO BE RESOLD!!!

MY VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING COOLANT DUE TO A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, AND THE LETTER ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXISTENCE OF A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE WAS EXTENDED TO TEN YEARS, BUT MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY A LITTLE OVER ELEVEN YEARS SINCE PURCHASE, AND HONDA DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER ACCOUNTS OF THE ENGINE CRACKING IN THIS MANNER RIGHT AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. FURTHER, DESPITE BEING APPLICABLE TO ALL 2006-2008 MODELS AND CERTAIN 2009 MODELS, THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT IS ONLY OFFERED AFTER THE CRACK/OVERHEATING EVENT OCCURS, AND OWNERS HAVE NO ABILITY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE UNDER THIS WARRANTY WITHOUT EXPERIENCING A PRIOR FAILURE. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED FOR OWNERS IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON SITUATION BEYOND THE TEN-YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 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 MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

AS I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN RT 102 WEST BOUND IN RHODE ISLAND, IN THE LEFT LANE OF A TWO LAND ROAD IN ROUGHLY THE 30 - 40 MPH RANGE WITH MY 7 MONTH OLD TODDLER IN THE CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT, THE SIDE AIR BAGS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR DEPLOYED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MY CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND DID NOT HIT A POT HOLE OR A BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT WAS A SMOOTH DRIVE UP UNTIL I HEAD A LOUD BANG AND WAS SMACKED IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, WHEN THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED UP AS WELL. I WAS LEFT WITH A TEMPORARY RED MARK ON MY NECK AND A RINGING IN MY EARS. AFTER 3 HOURS THE HEARING IN MY LEFT EAR HAS YET TO RETURN BACK TO NORMAL. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED OR WHAT COMPONENT IS THE CAUSE. THIS INCIDENT ENGAGED MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD.

CAR OVERHEATED WHILE ON HIGHWAY. QUICK CHECK FOUND COOLANT HAD DROPPED. ADDED COOLANT, LEAK UNKNOWN. TOOK TO HONDA, THEY SAID LEAK FROM ENGINE BLOCK HAD A LETTER FROM HONDA WITH THIS ISSUE FOR 06-09 ENGINES IT COULD HAPPEN. INSTEAD OF RECALL, THEY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS. MINE EXPIRED LAST 07-2016. FOUND OTHERS WHO HAD ISSUE AROUND 90K MILES. MINE IS AT 89,500 MILES. MANY OTHER MAY FACE SAME ISSUE, LEFT FACING AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR INSTEAD OF RECALL. HONDA WILL NOT BUDGE ANY REPLACEMENT DUE TO KNOWN ISSUE OR AID IN A REDUCED COST.

CAR OVERHEATED. LEFT MY DAUGHTER STRANDED, ALONE, LATE AT NIGHT ON A RURAL HIGHWAY. LATER IDENTIFIED A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO HONDA. NOT REVEALED TO USED CAR BUYERS. HONDA WILL NOT HELP WITH REPAIR BECAUSE THE CAR IS BEYOND 10 YEAR WARRANTY. WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT CAR IF SHE HAD KNOWN. PREYS ON PEOPLE WHO BUY 10 YEAR OLD HONDAS, PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THIS BIG OF HIT. NOW SHE HAS TO PAY FOR A CAR SHE CAN'T DRIVE AND FIND ANOTHER WAY TO WORK.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. MY CAR OVER HEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN WHICH I WAS DRIVING 30MPH, JUST TWO MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND/ OR GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS? THE ENGINE HEAT GAGE WENT UP TO ONLY OF THE WAY HIGH AND SINCE THIS WAS NOT NORMAL THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR MY CAR, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF MY CAR. WHEN I HAD PULLED OVER MY CAR WAS SMOKING. I CALLED FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO HELP ME TAKE MY CAR TO A MECHANIC. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A MINOR REPAIR BUT TO MY SURPRISE IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH HONDA. THE PROBLEM WITH MY ENGINE ENDED UP BEING A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK IN WHICH HONDA HAD NEVER INFORMED OF ABOUT THIS KNOW FACTORY DEFECT/RECALL FOR CERTAIN YEAR HONDA CIVICS. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE ENGINE BLOCK REPLACED. WHILE MY CAR WAS BEING REPAIRED BY THE MECHANIC I DID FOUND OUT, UPON MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, ABOUT HONDA CIVIC CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK DEFECTS/RECALLS. I HAD CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ASKING IF WHAT I HAD FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET WAS TRUE THEY SAID YES. A FEW MONTHS EARLIER, I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL AND A CALL FROM HONDA ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH I PROMPTLY HAD FIX. IF I HAD RECEIVED INFORMATION ON THE AIRBAG, WHY WAS THIS NOT THE CASE OF A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK? HONDA TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I AM 4 MONTHS PASSED THE 10-YEAR WARRANTY, THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME AND THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN EXPIRED. I WAS SHOCKED. HONDA HAD ALSO DELAYE

TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL HAS BEEN ACTIVE SINCE MAY 23, 2016 AND HERE WE ARE NEARING 12 MONTHS LATER AND "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE" LANGUAGE STILL BEING DISPLAYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE HEAT WAS ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE CIRCULATED COLD AIR INSTEAD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAD A FRACTURED BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS WILLING TO PROVIDE A PORTION OF THE REPAIR THROUGH THE WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED LETTER FROM HONDA JULY 2016. MORE THAN 60 DAYS HAVE PASSED. IT HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY 260 DAYS SO I'M REPORTING THIS EGREGIOUS AFFRONT TO MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

IN NOVEMBER 2016, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TIRES HAD UNEVEN WEAR AND DAMAGE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT. I LEARNED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT HONDA ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS PART, BUT THAT IT HAD EXPIRED BEFORE THE HONDA MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE ISSUE TO ME. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE MECHANIC, TO SEEK AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AS I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CASE NUMBER IS 05759414. UNFORTUNATELY, HONDA DECLINED MY REQUEST. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DANGERS OF DRIVING WITH TIRES THAT ARE UNEVENLY OR PREMATURELY WORN AND BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE PARTY IT WAS AWARE OF.

PAINT PEELING BADLY. DEALER UNWILLING TO CORRECT DR SIDE VISOR FAULTY BEAKS AWAY FROM MOUNT. DANGEROUS WHEN SUN IS HIGH FRONT BUMPER OF POOR DESIGN.

I PURCHASED 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX FROM PERSON FROM TX. AND I LIVE IN LA.IT HAD BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT AND 73,000 MILES AND WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. AT 75,000 MILES I STARTED HEARING NOISE IN REAR END LIKE ROARING NOISE.EACH TIME I HAD IT SERVICE AT LOCAL HONDA DEALER THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID TIRES OR ALIGNMENT.THEY KNEW ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND TSB 08-001 BUT NEVER INFORMED ME ABOUT IT. IT TOOK ME 4 YEARS AND 2 WORN OUT $130 MICHELIN TIRES EACH TO FIND THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FROM MY BROTHER. THE HONDA DEALER SHOULD HAVE INFORMED ME ABOUT HONDA BAD DESIGN REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS EARLIER AND I COULD HAVE SAVED MYSELF 2 NEW TIRES AND LOTS OF HEADACHE. BUT I HAD IT FIXED AT LOCAL SHOP IN BOSSIER CITY ALIGNMENT SHOP FOR $560. NO MORE NOISE AND CAR RIDES LIKE NEW AND TIRES SIT STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW NOT COCKED OUT LIKE THEY DID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FRACTURED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

WAS DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HOME FROM SCHOOL AND SUDDENLY NOTICED COOLANT LEAK/SMOKE. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS RECALL FOR CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK BUT HAS SINCE EXPIRED AND NOW WANT $4500 TO REPAIR - MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR! I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S EVER AN EXPIRATION ON A RECALL. HONDA REALLY WANTS UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE OUT DRIVING WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM? THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO HAVE KNOWN THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM SINCE WHEN I CHECKED MY VIN #, NO OPEN RECALLS SHOWED UP (I GUESS SINCE IT WAS ALREADY EXPIRED WHEN I PURCHASED IT - JULY 2016 FROM USED CAR LOT). PRETTY DISAPPOINTING THAT A DEALERSHIP COULD SELL ME A CAR WITH A KNOWN RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME. I'M JUST 17 YEAR OLD STUDENT/ATHLETE, HARD- WORKING AND BOUGHT THE CAR WITH MY OWN $ AND NOW FEEL RIPPED OFF AND HELPLESS. I'VE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE AND PRIDE IN MY CAR SO THIS ISSUE IS DEVASTATING TO ME.

THE CLEAR COAT HAS DISSOLVED IN SEVERAL SPOTS.

TAKATA RECALL WAS ISSUED MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AGO, THERE IS STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE. HOW LONG AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT?

CENTER BRAKE LIGHT HAS BAD CONNECTION AND DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. I HAD A DIFFERENT 2006 CIVIC THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS AN LED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT IS FUNCTIONAL BUT THE CONNECTION IS BAD. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN BRAKING AT ANY SPEED. ONGOING PROBLEM.

MY DAD HAS DIED FROM INJURIES SUSTAINED FROM A CAR ACCIDENT, HE TOLD ME HIS CAR 2006 HONDA CIVIC ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN! THE CAR ACCELERATED AT HIGH RPM WHEN HE JUST WENT TO ACCELERATE. TO ENTER THE ROAD MAKING A LEFT, INSTEAD THE CAR WENT SO FAST WITHIN SECONDS, HE LOST CONTROL AND HIS HONDA PLOWED THREW A STOP SIGN, THEN WAS FINALLY STOPPED BY A STEEL POLE HOLDING UP A QUICK CHECK SIGN! HE SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE CHEST INJURIES! 3 BROKEN RIBS, 2 DROPPED LUNGS, FRACTURED STERNUM, FRACTURED C4 AND C7 SPINE INJURIES! HE DIED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE ACCERLAERTION OF THE VEHICLE RACING ON ITS OWN! MY DAD HAS ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH RECALLS AND HAS CAR LOGS AND MAINTENANCE LOGS, ETC. I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE NEVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS TRAGIC SUDDEN DEATH, DUE TO A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURER ACCELERATION, OR WHATEVER EQUIPMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ACCIDENT! IT'S A MFG DEFECT! PLEASE ADDRESS OR AT LEAST MAKE PUBLIC AWARE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM! THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A STATUS UPDATE. *JS

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND IS LEAKING COOLANT, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE ENGINE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE COVERED IN HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048, BUT THAT ONLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN JULY 2006, SO THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 MONTHS PAST THAT 10-YEAR CUTOFF. I'VE BEEN QUOTED $5800 FOR A NEW ENGINE, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE CAR'S VALUE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 MODELS IN THE SAME SITUATION ALREADY, AND THERE WILL BE EVEN MORE AS EACH SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEAR UP TO 2009 HITS THE 10-YEAR MARK. LUCKILY I CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECAME A MAJOR HAZARD. FIRST THE CAR'S HEATER QUIT BLOWING WARM AIR, THEN A FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH ANY TIME I PARKED. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO FOUND THE CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. IF I HADN'T NOTICED THE LEAK AND THE COOLANT HAD BEEN COMPLETELY DEPLETED, THE ENGINE COULD HAVE OVERHEATED AND POSSIBLY FAILED ALTOGETHER WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG WAS IN MAY OF 2016 BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE? I WOULD RATHER HAVE NO AIRBAG THAN ONE THAT MIGHT KILL ME.

TAKATA RECALL ANY UPDATE ON IF A SOLUTION WILL BECOME AVAILABLE AND ROLLED OUT TO DEALERSHIPS SOON?

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE NOTICE I RECEIVED FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016 ABOUT THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG, SAID THE REMEDY PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL 2016. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (IKE HONDA) ON OCTOBER 19, 2016 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN..."ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS". I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. MY NOTICE FROM HONDA DIRECTED ME TO CONTACT YOU IF I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM AMERICAN HONDA OR THE DEALER WITHIN 60 DAYS. IN THE MEANTIME HONDA'S ADVICE IS NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT...USUALLY NOT AN OPTION.

TAKATA RECALL 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. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR CRASH, BUT I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY ASKING ME TO LOOK TO SEE IF THIS CAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. SHOULD I BE REPLACING THE AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR? *TR

MY ABS SYSTEM CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I WAS GOING 20 MPH IN SNOWY CONDITIONS (I HAVE SNOW TIRES). WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED BUT AFTER 20 FEET OR SO MY CAR HAD NOT SLOWED AT ALL. FINALLY I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE SLIDE THROUGH SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS IN THE PAST BECAUSE WHEN THE ABS COMES ON IN THE SNOW THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO BRAKING AT ALL. I KNOW IT'S THE ABS SYSTEM THAT IS THE PROBLEM BECUASE IN ALL OF THESE INSTANCES I CAN ACCELERATE WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE THE CAR WONT STOP. I FINALLY TOOK THE FUSE OUT OF THE ABS AND DROVE THROUGH THE SAME INTERSECTIONS AND MY CAR STOPS IMMEDIATELY WITH NO PROBLEM. I EVEN TRIED SLAMMING ON MY BRAKES ON THE SNOW COVERED ROAD WITH MY ABS FUSE REMOVED AND THE CAR STOPS IN LIKE 5 FEET, BUT WITH THE ABS FUSE INSTALLED IT TAKES ABOUT 30 FEET. WHY IS ABS REQUIRED IF IT'S SO DANGEROUS IN THE SNOW/ICE? WHY IS THERE NO BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER DURING THE SUMMER (2016) SAYING THAT MY AUTOMOBILE WAS NOW ON A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THE LETTER STATED THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A SECOND LETTER GIVING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, BUT NO LETTER WAS EVER RECEIVED. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT AS WELL AS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING HAVING NO RECOURSE AT THIS POINT. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FEEDBACK AS TO A TIME THAT A REMEDY WILL BE BEING PUT IN PLACE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I EVENT RECALL ON HONDA ODYSSEY SEATS THAT WOULD NOT STAY LATCHED... EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH OUR CIVIC COUPE. RARELY DID WE MOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT WHEN WE DID IT WOULD FREQUENTLY NOT LOCK IN PLACE AFTER AWHILE WITHOUT A VERY JERRY MOVEMENT WITH WEIGHT IN THE SEAT... WE'D FORGET TO CHECK AND COME TO A STOP SIGN AND I'D SLIDE FORWARD OR ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY AND I'D SLIDE BACK, JUST AN INCH OR SO, BUT I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN AN ACCIDENT. NO ONE BELIEVED US /SAW ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT. POINT IS READING THE RELEASE TODAY - - THERE COULD BE MORE HONDA VEHICLES AFFECTED. WE HAVE SOLD THE CAR SO I CAN'T PROVIDE ANY MORE INFO. DATE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE.

TAKATA RECALL - FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN MAY OF 2016. IT IS NOW COMING UP ON JANUARY OF 2017 (SEVEN MONTHS LATTER) AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION ABOUT GETTING THIS DEFECT CORRECTED. WHEN CAN I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN?

TAKATA RECALL ON AUGUST 19, 2016, WE TOOK OUR HONDA TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. OUR DEALER RAN INTO A PROBLEM WITH A MOUNTING BOLT (APPARENTLY A BOLT WAS CROSS-THREADED AND TWISTED OFF). A CALL TO HONDA AMERICA CONFIRMED THE ENTIRE AIR BAG WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE REPLACED. OUR DEALER ORDERED THE PART THAT DAY. AND HAS OF THIS WRITING NOT YET RECEIVED THE AIR BAG FROM HONDA AMERICA. OUR DEALER GAVE US A LOANER CAR FOR TWO MONTHS, BUT THEN TOOK IT BACK AND GAVE US OUR CAR BACK, WITHOUT A FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, ON OCTOBER 31, WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO NOT PUT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. (IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR BACK, I HAD TO SIGN A STATEMENT ON THE WORK ORDER SAYING I HAD REFUSED A REPAIR, BUT I WAS NOT OFFERED A REPAIR TO REFUSE. I HAD TO SIGN THE WORK ORDER OR NOT GET MY CAR BACK.) JUST PRIOR TO THE DEALER CALLING AND TAKING THE LOANER BACK, I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA AMERICA ABOUT THE DELAY IN DELIVERING THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG. I HAVE RECEIVED NO REPLY. SO IT HAS BEEN FOUR AND ONE-HALF MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN WAITING ON A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA AMERICA; I BELIEVE MY DEALER HAS ACTED IN GOOD FAITH. ATTACHMENTS: - ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE - WORK ORDER FROM MY DEALER - MY LETTER TO HONDA AMERICA

I WAS RECENTLY INFORMED BY A HONDA REPAIR SHOP THAT MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THE SERVICEMAN RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT HONDA USA REGARDING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT WAS ISSUED. I CONTACT HONDA AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY CANNOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. I EXPLAINED THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR USED WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT THERE WAS SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE CAR UNLESS I NEEDED A REPAIR AT A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO REPRESENTATIVES SO FAR AND RECEIVED THE SAME "STANDARD" ANSWER. "WE ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM OF THIS TYPE WITH THE CAR AND THAT'S WHY WE ISSUED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY." I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT'S PRODUCT BY PAYING 100% OF THE REPAIR COST WITH NO TIME OR MILEAGE LIMIT. AS AN OWNER OF TWO ACURAS AND A HONDA, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR APPROACH TO CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS CAR. THIS DEFECT IS NOT THE CUSTOMERS FAULT. I AM CONTINUING TO PURSUE A RESOLUTION THAT ENDS WITH HONDA TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT IN THESE CARS. I PRAY THAT SOMEONE DOES NOT GET SERIOUSLY HURT BEFORE HONDA FINALLY MAKES THIS RIGHT OR NHTSA FORCES THEM TO ISSUE A FULL RECALL. I NOW HAVE THE VEHICLE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE MANY TESTIMONIALS THAT DESCRIBE THAT DOING SO WILL RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILU

THE CAR HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND IS LEAKING COOLANT. PER RESEARCH HONDA IS AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR 2006 - 2009 HONDA CIVICS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS ON THE MOTOR. THE ORIGINAL OWNER PURCHASED THE CAR IN MAY 2006 AND MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP IN DECEMBER 2013. WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE MOTOR OR THAT THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE. HONDA WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO ASSIST MY DAUGHTER WITH REPLACEMENT OF A MOTOR THAT WILL NOW COST HER $5000 ON A CAR SHE STILL OWES ON.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS RUNNING EXTREMELY HOT. SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND IT HAD RUN OUT OF COOLANT. WE THEN FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT FROM A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS FROM 2006-2009. WHEN WE CONTACTED HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN EXPIRED SINCE MAY OF 2016 AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME. THIS CRACK IN MY BLOCK IS DUE TO HONDA'S NEGLIGENCE IN MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THEIR ENGINE BLOCKS, YET THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THE CAR HAS HAD NO OTHER ISSUES AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

I STARTED MY VEHICLE DURING THE NIGHT AND COLD WEATHER DROVE MY CAR LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES WHEN THE INSIDE STARTED SMELLING LIKE ANTI COOLANT. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK FLUID AND NOTICED THE BLOCK HAD A CRACK IN IT I HAVE NOTICED THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL OF CAR BUT IT'S FOR TEN YEARS OF PURCHASE AND I NEVER GOT A LETTER STATING I COULD GET THIS CHECK EARLIER I NEED HELP

FOR SOME TIME, A WARNING NOTICE WAS ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING THAT THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR WAS TURNED OFF. IN JUL 2016, I RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL 16V-346 SAYING THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE PASSENGERS SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THE NOTICE SAID THE "REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." IT'S DECEMBER. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HONDA SAYING THAT PARTS OF AVAILABLE. I CHECKED SAFECAR.GOV, WHICH SAID RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL - PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR.
