2006 Honda Civic complaints

TAKATA RECALL. NOTIFIED IN MAY 2016 WITH AN EARLY SUMMER LATE FALL RESOLUTION WITH NO FURTHER UPDATE. WIFE AND I USE CAR TO CARPOOL TO WORK, SO "AVOID THE PASSENGER SEAT" RENDERS THE CAR MOSTLY USELESS UNLESS ONE OF PLAYS CHAUFFEUR AND THE OTHER SITS IN THE BACK. SITTING IN THE BACK OF A HONDA CIVIC AS AN ADULT IS A VERY OVERRATED EXPERIENCE, MORESO WHEN IT'S DONE EVERY DAY.

"TAKATA RECALL"LETTER RECEIVED JULY 2016 FRONT PASSENGER. "HONDA SUGGEST TO AVOID HAVING PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT." HONDA NOTIFICATION INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BE AVAILABLE LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY UPDATES FROM HONDA REGARDING RECALL.

THE ENGINE BLOCK STARTED LEAKING COOLANT THAT CAUSED OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. I DISCOVERED IT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

CAR OVERHEATED VERY QUICKLY WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH IN THE FAST LANE RESULTING IN A PLUME OF BLINDING WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND LIFE THREATENING EXPERIENCE AS I BARELY GOT THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER WITH OTHER CARS WIZING PAST ME AT SPEED. HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC FRIEND WHO TRACED THE LEAK TO A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. HE SAID THIS WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE BLOCK. THE CRACK IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE, BEHIND THE EXHAUST HEADER PIPE AND DIFFICULT TO SEE. IT IS HOWEVER IN THE SAME AREA AS ALL OF THE OTHER REPORTED COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CIVIC OWNERS ON THE WEB. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THE 2006-2009 CIVICS. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. FUNNY HOW I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICES WHATSOEVER AND DID NOT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM ONE YEAR PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HONDA WILL COVER NOTHING AT ALL. CAR HAS 63,000 MILES AND IS OTHERWISE IN MINT CONDITION. ASKED HONDA TO PROVE THAT THEY SENT OUT THE NOTICE TO ME AND THEY HAVE YET TO RESPOND. HAD I RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF THIS ISSUE I WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY TRADED THE CAR. NOW I AM STUCK WITH AN INOPERABLE CAR AND AN $8,900.00 REPAIR (QUOTED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP). TOTALLY LEFT IN THE DARK, BUT HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE

THE VEHICLE IS HAS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE WHERE THE LOWER ENGINE BLOCK CORRODES, LEAKS COOLANT, AND THEN AS A RESULT OVERHEATS. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN ADMITTED TO BY HONDA AND THEY HAVE ISSUED TSB 08-044. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND AS A RESULT I WAS STRANDED WITHOUT A WORKING VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING THIS AND WAS TOLD MY CAR IS 2.5 MONTHS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. I WAS OFFERED AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKES, WHICH THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED BY HONDA IN MAY/JUNE OF THIS YEAR THAT THERE WILL BE A REMEDY IN THE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016, AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION SINCE THEN. THIS REMEDY IS TAKEN LONGER THAN EXPECTED, AND IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT AS I AM NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH ME.

TAKATA RECALL. SUPPOISED TO BE READY FIRST OF "FALL". STILL NOT READY 11/24/16. STILL WAITING. ANY INFO?

AT ABOUT 110,000 MILES ON MY 2006 CIVIC, THE ENGINE BLOCK DEVELOPED A CRACK. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT FAILED TO CONTACT US (MY WIFE IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER). WE ARE NOW JUST OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS QUOTED AS ABOUT $5,000. HONDA SHOULD COVER THIS COST DUE TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF A FAULTY PRODUCT BUT IT APPEARS WE ARE IN THE HOOK FOR THE COST (LIKELY WILL RESULT IN OUR NEED TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, A LOUD POP WAS HEARD AND SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

HONDA HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2006-2011 MODEL YEAR CIVIC VEHICLES. 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. THIS PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANT. AMERICAN HONDA HAS OR THE DEALER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGE, WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME (60-DAYS FROM THE DATE I WAS FIRST CONTACTED FOR REPAIR APPOINTMENT IN JULY 2016).

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE, BUT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT LEAKED ONTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSED IT TO SHUT DOWN. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL.

WHILE DOING GENERAL MAINTENANCE ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC (STATIONARY) I NOTICED IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT. AFTER WORKING ON THE CAR TO FIND THE LEAK AND DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT FOR 2006-2009 HONDA CIVICS THAT CAUSES A FAILURE AND CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THERE IS A 10 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION, WHICH I AM BEYOND BY 5 MONTHS SO HONDA HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. AS AN OWNER OF TWO HONDA VEHICLES I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS BY MAIL OR OTHERWISE BY HONDA. I HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THEM REGARDING OTHER ISSUES ON MY 2011 ACCORD, BUT NEVER ABOUT THE 2006 CIVIC. IF I HAD I MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD AS A SMALL LEAK BEFORE IT BEGAN DUMPING/POURING COOLANT. LUCKILY, THIS NEVER LED TO SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS RISK OF ACCIDENT AND INJURY. IN ADDITION, HONDA WAS EXCEPTIONALLY RUDE AND UNHELPFUL ON THE PHONE. AFTER DAYS OF GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM THEY FINALLY GAVE ME A CLAIM NUMBER FOR THE ISSUE. ONCE DENYING IT THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD CALL THEIR CLAIMS DEPARTMENT, WHICH I ALREADY BELIEVED I WAS SPEAKING TO. TO MY SURPRISE THE NUMBER THEY GAME ME WAS FOR THE COURT SYSTEM THAT HAD RULED ON THIS CASE FOR HONDA. SO, AFTER WASTING MY TIME WITH THEM THEY FELT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO PLAY WHAT AMOUNTED TO A PRACTICAL JOKE ON ME. THE WORST JOKE OF ALL IS THAT THEY HAVE

TAKATA RECALL -- 90 DAYS HAS PAST WITH ACTION FROM DEALERSHIP

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65MPH, MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EXPERIENCED AN UNEXPECTED OVERHEATING INCIDENT. WHILE SURROUNDED BY HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I JUST BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY SAFELY. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER FLAW THAT RESULTS IN CRACKED ENGINE BLOCKS AND CONSEQUENT LOSS OF COOLANT. SINCE THE CRACK WAS ON THE INSIDE, I HAD NO WAY TO TELL THAT I WAS DRIVING WITH SUCH RISK. THERE WERE NO LIQUID DRIPS UNDER MY VEHICLE. HONDA WILL YEARS OWNERSHIP. MY VEHICLE WAS 10 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS. THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY THEY OFFERED WAS FOR 10 YEARS, UNRESTRICTED MILEAGE. MY VEHICLE IS A LOWER THEN AVERAGE MILEAGE VEHICLE SO MY 10 YEARS WAS SLIGHTLY EXCEEDED. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND A FORMAL RECALL SHOULD BE OFFERED OR TIME AND/OR MILEAGE BE GRANTED TO ENSURE THAT OWNERS CAN HAVE THEIR VEHICLES INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. HAD I NOT BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF MY LIFE OR OTHER VEHICLE OPERATORS WHO WERE TRYING TO AVOID ME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL. *TR

TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA JULY 2016 ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAVING A DEFECT/BEING RECALLED AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED (RECALL WAS ISSUED MAY 23, 2016(HTTPS://VINRCL.SAFERCAR.GOV/VIN/VINLOOKUP)-SO THE NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL TOOK A FEW MONTHS ALONE). THE SOLUTION GIVEN WAS TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. THE LETTER STATED THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. I CALLED TODAY, 10/28/2016 @ 09:06 EST, SPEAKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE NAMED [XXX] AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE STILL MANUFACTURING PARTS AND I WOULD GET A NOTICE WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE. AS A FAMILY OF 4, BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR AND RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN YOUR VEHICLE WOULD BE FIXED IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IF THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE, THEY NEED TO GET IT FIXED IN A TIMELY FASHION. IF THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS ARE GOING TO BE MADE AVAILABLE THEN THEY NEED TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE UNTIL THE RECALL CAN BE FIXED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL NOTIFICATION WAS ORIGINALLY SENT IN MAY 2016. THE MANUFACTURER STILL HAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE ONLINE INFORMATION SAYS THE INITIAL LETTER WILL BE FOLLOWED UP WITH A SECOND AND THAT THE REMEDY WAS EXPECTED IN LATE SUMMER/FALL. NO REMEDY IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, AND I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIRBAG. *TR

BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA CIVIC WITH 54,000 MILES IN AUGUST OF 2016. ON A 6 HR TRIP TO OMAHA NEBRASKA THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLANT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A HONDA DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING COOLANT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY HONDA BUT THE EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BY 7 MONTHS. CURRENTLY ON THE HOOK FOR $5200 BECAUSE OF HONDA'S KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART

I HAVE 2006 HONDA CIVIC THAT I BOUGHT BACK IN 2012 WITH 93K MILES ON IT AND NOW IN 2016 I HAD MY ENGINE BLOCK LEAK AND SO I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER SO THEY CAN CHECK IT AND TOLD ME I HAD A CRACK ON MY ENGINE AND THEY SAID THAT HANDA SENT A LETTER WITCH I NEVER GOT AND THAT MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRE AND THEY CAN'T DO ANY THING ABOUT I'VE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR I ALWAYS KEEP CLEAN AND MAKE SURE I DO MY MAINTENANCE ON IT I HAVE NO ACCIDENTS ALSO WAY I KNOW I HAD A PROBLEM IS BY THE CAR OVER HEATING AND THE SMOKE COMING OUT WHILE I WAS IN HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY YET HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO ANYTHING WHAT ABOUT IF WE GOT HURT WHILE WAITING FOR SOME TO COME AND TOW MY CAR AWAY AND FOR SOME TO PICK US TO TAKE US HOME NOW I HAVE NOW CAR AND NOTHING TO DRIVE I HOPE EVERYONE SPEAKS UP FOR EVERYONE.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AT 10-YEARS, 4-MONTHS. HONDA WARRANTED THE ENGINES ORIGINALLY FOR 5-YEARS THEN EXTENDED BLOCK WARRANTY TO 8-YEARS AND FINALLY TO 10-YEARS. THE BLOCKS HAVE A MAJOR DEFECT WHERE THE BLOCK CRACKS BECAUSE THE BLOCK WALL IS TOO THIN ON THESE ALUMINUM BLOCKS AND MINE WAS NO DIFFERENT. MY BLOCK FAILURE CAME 4-MONTHS OUT OF SECOND EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. HONDA SAYS THEY WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR IS 4-MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS NUMBERS TO NO AVAIL. THIS PROBLEM IS A DEFECT AND HONDA HAS ADMITTED TO IT THAT'S WHY THEY PROVIDED WARRANTIES FOR THIS PROBLEM. SINCE MY CAR IS 10-YEARS OLD AND IS 4-MONTHS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS COVERED REPAIR, I AM STUCK PAYING TO GET MY CAR ON THE ROAD AGAIN AT THE TUNE OF $5000 - $6000 AT LEAST. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA FOR THEIR STANCE ON THIS ISSUE WITH ME. IT'S BASICALLY MY BAD THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AT 10-YEARS, 4-MONTHS INSTEAD OF WITHIN THE 10-YEARS STATED ON THE WARRANTY. I DIDN'T EVEN RECEIVE A LETTER EXPLAINING THE WARRANTIES OR EXTENDED WARRANTIES. I THINK HONDA SHOULD STEP UP AND COVER THIS REPAIR ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM IS THEIR FAULT IN THEIR MANUFACTURING OF THE BLOCKS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR MONTHS TO DETERMINE IF OUR CIVIC IF PART OF THIS RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE SAFE.GOV SITE SAYS OUR YEAR AND MAKE ARE PART IF THE RECALL, BUT THE SITE ALSO SAYS RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM HONDA. I AM CONCERNED IF THIS IS PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN WE FIND OUT WITH CERTAINTY?

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY. I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 STATING THAT IT WOULD HAVE THE PART BY LATE SUMMER/FALL. THAT WAS THE LAST COMMUNICATION I RECEIVED. I AM DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AUTO THAT MAY CAUSE GREAT LIABILITY OR INJURY TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK FRACTURED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL, WHICH CAUSED WATER TO PENETRATE THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 270,000. UPDATED 12/13/16*LJ *TR

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE INITIAL NOTICE SINCE LAST 3 MONTHS AND YET NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT PROVIDING ME AN ALTERNATIVE/RENTAL MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I TRAVEL 50 MILES, EVERYDAY. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE AND MY FIANCE CANNOT EVEN RIDE WITH ME, WITHOUT TAKING THE DANGER OF BEING KILLED BY THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. MY CAR ALSO SHOWS SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT, FOR WHICH DEALERS WANT $100 TO DIAGNOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-40 TRAVELING TOWARDS WILMINTON, NC WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT WAS REGISTERING HOT AND WAS IN THE RED ZONE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO WILMINTON, NC. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THEY CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THE CAR WAS COVERED UNDER TSB 10-048 AND THEY WERE TOLD THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON MY CAR EXPIRED IN JULY. THE CAR HAS ONLY 66,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STOP RUNNING ANYWHERE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN RALEIGH ON I-40 THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY 2016 (OFFICIAL DATE MAY 23, 2016) DETAILING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE PROBLEM IS THAT "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." THE LETTER GOES ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS COULD CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION AND HARM THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT. THE ONLY OPTION GIVEN IN THE LETTER IS TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. ACCORDING TO THE LETTER, THE PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE BY NOW. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHER PEOPLE'S SAFETY AS THEY RIDE IN MY CAR. ***TOO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED, AND I EXPECT IMMEDIATE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE.***

TAKATA RECALL- FIRST HEARD OF THIS RECALL OVER 1 YEAR AGO, CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES, NO RECALL ON MY CAR, GOOD, CHECKED A 3RD TIME AND NOTICED I SUDDENLY HAD THE RECALL ON MY PASSENGER AIRBAG- SO IT TOOK THEM OVER A YEAR TO TELL ME THAT I HAD THIS AIRBAG IN MY CAR. WAS NOT NOTIFIED PERSONALLY UNTIL 3 MONTHS AFTER I FOUND THIS ON RECALLS.GOV. HAVE CALLED HONDA TO TALK ABOUT THIS- THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CANNOT CONFIRM OR DENY WHETHER I HAVE THIS IN MY DRIVERS AIRBAG, ONLY THAT IT IS MY PASSENGER ONE- AND IT CANNOT BE FIXED UNTIL SEPT OF 2016. I FOUND THIS OUT IN MAY OF 2016. IT IS ALMOST OCTOBER (TODAY IS 9/19/16) AND I CONTACTED HONDA AGAIN- REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE NJ PARKWAY COMING HOME FROM WORK AND THERE WAS A LOUD CRACK NOISE, AT FIRST I THOUGHT I GOT HIT ON MY WINDSHIELD BY A ROCK, THEN ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER MY PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR LOWERED AND IT IS BROKEN ON THE INSIDE OF THE PLASTIC. NOW IT WILL NOT STAY UP AND CAUSES A DISTRACTION TO ME WHILE I'M DRIVING. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY IN REPLACING A VISOR THAT THEY KNOW IS BAD.

THE PAINT IS DISAPPEARING FROM THE ROOF AND THE SIDES OF MY BACK WINDOWS. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING SINCE THEIR PAINT RECALL IS OVER. I RECEIVED OTHER RECALLS IN THE MAIL. NEVER A PAINT ONE. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE PAINT PROBLEM BEGAN. PROBABLY AROUND 2012-2014.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FIRST WEEK IN JULY, HAVE CONTACTED BROOKDALE HONDA, BROOKLYN CENTER, MN SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING REPAIR AND AM ALWAYS TOLD THE "PART IS ON ORDER, WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN PARTS ARRIVE".

I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER MIDNIGHT AND NOTICED A SMELL. I LOOKED FOR SMOKE AND SAW NONE. I GOT STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND CHECKED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND SAW IT WAS AT 3/4 RATHER THAN 1/2 AND JUMPED TO FULL WHILE WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS EVER LIT UP. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AND HAD IT TOWED HOME AND THEN AGAIN TO THE HONDA DEALER I GO TO FOR MY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS IN THE MORNING. THEY CALLED LATER THAT AFTERNOON TO SAY IT WAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND WOULD BE $5000 + TAX FOR A NEW BLOCK. THEY TRIED TO GET HONDA TO HONOR THE TSB-08-044 WARRANTY BUT IT WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE TIME FRAME FOR THE WARRANTY SO HONDA REFUSED. THE CAR HAS AROUND 148K MILES ON IT AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN FOR ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2010 AT 30K MILES. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE BLOCK EVEN THOUGH THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY EXTENSION TO 8 YEARS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2010. I DID HOWEVER GET THE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR, SO HONDA KNOWS I OWN THE CAR AND SHOULD HAVE LET ME KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE WARRANTY. CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS ENGINE BLOCK FAILURE IS STILL HAPPENING TO WAY TOO MANY HONDA CIVICS AFTER 10 YEARS WITH MANY RANGES OF MILEAGE, BUT HONDA IS REFUSING TO HELP IN ANY WAY FOR A KNOWN CASTING ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE BLOCK. MY TWO PREVIOUS HONDA CIVICS I OWNED FOR 11 YEARS WITH 208 K MILES AND 9 YEARS WITH 205K MILES AND NEITHER OF THEM HAD AN
