ORIGINAL NOTICE MAY 23 STATED THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE "LATE SUMMER/FALL 2016" AND UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED HONDA SUGGESTS THAT I AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY ANNOUNCING THE RECALL OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER, OCEAN HONDA OF SANTA CRUZ, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY HAD INFORMATION.

NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED UNTIL HONDA CAN PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS. IN THE MEANTIME, THE NOTICE SAID, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SINCE THE MIDDLE OF JUNE. BOTH MY BOYFRIEND AND I LIVE TOGETHER. WE BOTH DRIVE THE SAME CAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT HIS IS AN '07. WE BOTH HAVE RECALLS ON OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND WE HAVE A SWITCH THAT INDICATES WHEN NOBODY IS THE PASSENGER SEAT IT SHUTS OFF THE AIRBAG. UNFORTUNATELY, BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES DON'T DO THAT, THE LIGHT NEVER INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG IS SHUT OFF AND THAT MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG IS STILL ACTIVE. SO IN OTHER WORDS IF WE GET HIT, EVEN THOUGH NOBODY IS IN THE SEAT, OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE GOING OFF. IVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING THIS AND EVEN SUBMITTED PHOTOS. FINALLY, THEY CALLED ME REGARDING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION ON 8/15 BUT TODAY, 8/16, MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT I WAS DENIED ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I LOVE THAT HONDA THINKS THIS IS A GAME. IN OTHER WORDS, MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE SEPARATE CARS TO THE GROCERY STORE OR WHEN WE GO OUT OF TOWN. WE CARPOOL AND I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE CASE MANAGER AND SEVERAL PEOPLE BUT I GUESS MY BOYFRIEND'S LIFE OR MY LIFE DON'T REALLY MATTER TO THEM. MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT SHE IS ORDERING A PART TO FIX MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND I MAY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR. I WONDER WHEN THIS WILL EVEN COME IN BY THEN MY AIRBAG MAY GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR WHAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BELOW, I HAVE SUBMITTED PHOTOS OF MY CAR WHILE IT'S ON AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT IS OFF WHEN IT'S SUPPOSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE SUN VISOR IN THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER A RECALL. HOWEVER, THE SUN VISORS WERE STILL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,133.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-346: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA INFORMING ME OF A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, THE LETTER STATES THAT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO MAKE A REPAIR LATER IN THE SUMMER I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR, MY YOUNG DAUGHTER SITS IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, WE OFTEN HAVE A SECOND CHILD IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND A LARGE DOG. WE CAN'T POSSIBLY AVOID USING THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE BACK SEAT IS FULL, AND OUR OTHER CAR IS TOO SMALL TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. WHEN I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE PERIOD UNTIL THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, IT WAS DENIED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND HAD TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION AND WAS TOLD A CASE WORKER WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2 WEEKS OR SO. I THINK THIS IS ALL ABSURD. THEY ARE IMPLYING THAT AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT AS HAZARDOUS AS ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND ALSO THAT A REASONABLE SOLUTION IS TO JUST NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE, AND IT HAS LEFT MY FAMILY IN DANGER UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE, WHENEVER THAT WILL BE. NO ESTIMATED TIME LINE HAS BEEN GIVEN.

CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION A HAIRLINE CRACK WAS VISIBLY LEAKING COOLANT ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT IT IS THE CRACK FROM TSB 10-048 BUT WILL NOT COVER SAID ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY TIME LIMIT . AS A SIDE NOTE, BEING THE THIRD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY/ ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE NECK, CHEST, AND KNEE, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

HONDA CIVIC 2006 SUNVISOR IS BROKEN - REMAINING IN THE DOWN POSITION PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTING VIEW FROM WINDSHIELD AND REAR-VIEW MIRROR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CEMENT BARRIER. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT FACILITY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURE TO THE FRONT SINUS BONE, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR LACERATIONS AND A BRUISED SHOULDER, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN GALAXY GREY METALLIC, VIN [XXX], HAS PEELING AND CRACKING PAINT ON THE HOOD, PASSENGER SIDE FENDER, AND ROOF. ON 07/29/16 THE CAR HAD 38,000 MILES. I SHOWED IT THE DEALER ON 10/29/15 AND THEY TOOK PICTURES OF THE CAR AND SENT THEM TO HONDA, BUT I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM. THIS CAR IS WAXED TWICE A YEAR, IN THE SPRING AND FALL WITH A GOOD QUALITY CLEAR COAT SAFE WAX FROM TURTLE WAX. I TAKE PRIDE IN THE APPEARANCE OF THIS VEHICLE AND HONDA?S REFUSAL TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SUN VISOR IS FALLING APART BECAUSE THE METAL SPRING INSIDE HAS BROKEN THE PLASTIC WITHIN THE VISOR. THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER. I COULD FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN THE MOTION OF THE VISOR OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IT FINALLY BROKE YESTERDAY. THIS IS THE PASSENGER VISOR (THE DRIVER'S VISOR WAS REPLACED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM) AND IS PRIMARILY USED TO HOLD A SUN SHADE IN PLACE WHEN IT IS PARKED. EVERYTHING WITHIN MY CAR IS TREATED VERY GENTLY SO THAT MY TEN YEAR-OLD CAR LOOKS ALMOST BRAND NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES AND CUTS ON THE LEGS, BACK, AND RIGHT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED BRUISES FROM THE SEAT BELT. THE REAR PASSENGER SUSTAINED CUTS TO THE FOREHEAD, A FRACTURE ON THE FRONT OF HIS SKULL, AND BRUISING IN THE BRAIN AND ABDOMEN THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

L/H SUN VISOR ASSY OF OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC MECHANICAL FAILURE. MODE OF FAILURE WAS SPLITTING OF A BONDED JOINT OF THE UPPER AND LOWER PLASTIC PIECES THAT SURROUND & CAPTURE L/H (PRIMARY) ROTATION MECHANISM. INTERNAL MECHANISM IMPARTS SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL STRESS ON THE BONDED JOINT EACH TIME SUN VISOR RE-POSITIONED. UNDAMAGED SEAM GIVES ROTATIONAL RESISTANCE WHEN VISOR IS STOWED OR FULLY FORWARD (SOMEWHAT OUT OF THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VIEW). THIS FATIGUE-INDUCED FAILURE MODE PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. THE VISOR ASSEMBLY FAILS IN THE WORSE POSSIBLE POSITION: HANGING VERTICALLY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER OBSCURING SIGHT THROUGH THE UPPER SECTION OF THE WINDSCREEN. THE DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR IS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. IT CANNOT BE ROTATED AROUND THE PRINCIPAL AXIS INTO ANOTHER POSITION WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY FALLING DIRECTLY BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. THE FAILED SUN VISOR COMPLETELY OBSCURES OVERHEAD TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND SIGNAGE. THIS MODEL YEAR HONDA CIVIC HAS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE MODE. A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT CIRCA 2011 WAS APPLICABLE ONLY TO VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES OR 7 YEARS (REF: "SETTLEMENT WEBSITE FOR COOPER, ET AL. V. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC., ' CASE NO. BC 448670"; URL: HTTP://SETTLEMENT-CLAIMS.COM/VISORSETTLEMENT/). THIS PARTICULAR VISOR FAILURE OCCURRED SOON AFTER A LIMITED 'EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD.' OUR VEHICLE'S ODOMETER READING IS 103,574 MILES. PRIMARY DRIVER N

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 4 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I RECEIVED A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE JULY 23, 2016. UPON RESEARCH, HONDA RECALL WEBSITE STATES NOTICES WILL GO OUT JUNE23? WHY WAS MY NOTICE NOT RECEIVED UNTIL 30 DAYS LATER? ADDITIONALLY- WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE "LATE JULY TO AUGUST". AND THE NOTICE SAYS DO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE? THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! BETWEEN CAR POOL, TAKING KIDS TO SCHOOL, TAKING KIDS TO SPORTS PRACTICES- WHERE ARE THEY ALL SUPPOSED TO SIT? IF YOU CANNOT EXPEDITE REPAIRS, PARTS, OR THE RECALL NOTICE, A FREE RENTAL SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE LIABILITY POSITION YOU HAVE JUST PLACED YOURSELF IN IS ABSOLUTELY TRAUMATIC. I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT TANAKA AIR BAGS FOR OVER A YEAR AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED INJURIES AND DEATHS-- AND WE JUST NOW RECEIVE NOTIFICATION?? AND NOW YOUR TELLING US TO WAIT MORE TIME FOR ANOTHER NOTICE? DO PEOPLE'S LIVES NOT MATTER TO YOU, HONDA, OR TANAKA? I HOPE THIS AND OTHER EMAILS ARE USED IN COURT SO COMPLETE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST EVERYONE INVOLVED. GOD FORBID ANYTHING HAPPEN TO MY KIDS- AND TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE, AND SAVE LIVES- YOU ARE SIMPLY SAYING "HERE IS A LATE NOTICE- OH YA, AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT WE'LL LET YOU KNOW AT A LATER TIME."

DUE TO HONDA'S ADMITTED POOR PAINT JOB, PAINT BEGAN COMING OFF (ON ROOF FIRST). HONDA SAID THEY EXTENDED WARRANTY, WITHOUT NOTIFYING OWNERS. ALSO SAY IT IS NOT SAFETY RISK. IF THE ROOF RUSTS, THE SUN ROOF WILL CERTAINLY DISMOUNT CAUSING SAFETY ISSUE; IF SIDE PANELS RUST, EXHAUST ENTERS PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSING SAFETY ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, HEADLIGHTS CLOUD TREMENDOUSLY REGARDLESS OF PREVENTATIVE ATTEMPTS. IF DRIVER CAN'T SEE PROPERLY OR ANOTHER CAR CANNOT SEE THE HONDA, IT IS A SAFETY RISK. HONDA AMERICA IS SIMPLY A LAME, PERHAPS ONCE GOOD COMPANY NOW TRYING TO RIDE ON REPUTATION TO SELL POORLY CONSTRUCTED VEHICLES AND DENY ALL LIABILITY FOR FAULTY WORK BY CLAIMING IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. SO FAR, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. HOWEVER, IF HONDA AMERICA DOES NOT OWN THEIR MISTAKES AND FAULTY WORK, CORRECT THE PROBLEMS IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A SAFETY BREECH OCCURS.

HONDA RECALL.THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC [XXX], FOR THE VISORS FALLING DUE TO FAILURE OF INTERNAL SPRINGS THAT HOLD THEM IN PLACE, CAUSING OBSTRUCTION OF VISION AS WELL AS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, CURTTRIGHT HONDA IN ENID OK. I WAS TOLD THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. FOR REASONS UNKNOWN I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL, HAD I KNOWN I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTION IN A TIMELY MANNER. I WAS LATE RESPONDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE BUT WHY DOES AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES? THE RECALL WAS EXTENDED 7 YEARS BUT THAT EXTENSION HAS PASSED AS WELL. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED BUT I WAS NOT A PART OF IT. IS THERE ANYONE THAT COULD HELP ME GET THESE DEFECTIVE VISORS REPLACED? THANK YOU,FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY ASSISTANCE YOU COULD PROVIDE. [XXX].

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL # 16V-346 THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT AGAINST MY HONDA DEALERSHIP. RATHER, IT IS A QUERY OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE DEALERSHIP IS DUE TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR ON JULY 16. HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT DEFECTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHETHER THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE CORRECTLY. THANK YOU.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF IS PEELING AFTER LESS THAN 10 YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE RECENTLY NOTIFIED OF COVERAGE IN THE AIRBAG RECALL AND RECEIVED THE INSTRUCTION TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE) REPAID HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THIS CAUSED ME TO NOTICE THAT THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR WAS NOT ILLUMINATING EVEN WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DANGEROUS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REMAINS ACTIVE EVEN WITHOUT A PASSENGER THERE. I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL CENTER AND SPOKE WITH A SUPERVISOR, MS. VANESSA ROBINSON, WHO TOLD ME MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING TO A DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR CHECKED. I THINK I CAN REASONABLY TAKE THE CAR'S USER DISPLAY AT FACE VALUE, SUGGESTING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO REMAIN ACTIVE, SUCH THAT HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE AN INTERIM MECHANISM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS PART OF THE RECALL. I AM PARTICULARLY CONCERNED GIVEN THAT WE USED OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN TEXAS FOR MANY YEARS, WHERE I UNDERSTAND THE CLIMATE INCREASES THE RISK FROM THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE, FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR A BURNING SMELL CHECKED COOLANT & WAS EMPTY REFILLED & PARKED CAR, NEXT DAY WENT TO DEALER ,SAID CRACKED HEAD GASKET KEPT OVERNIGHT THEN SAID COOLANT EVAPORATED SAID BURNING CAME FROM PLASTIC BACK ON EXHAUST I SAW THE TECH WHEN HE WAS WORKING ON MY CAR & HE SAID HAD CRACKED HEAD GASKET, THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME COPY OF DETAILED WORK ORDER JUST MY RECEIPT FOR CHARGES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 48 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING FROM THE HOOD AND OVERHEATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

REAR TIRES HAVE PREMATURE WEAR FROM INSIDE OUT AND WEARING FAST. CAUSING ALOT OF VIBRATION AS WELL.

SUN VISOR GLUE MELTS IN THE HEAT AND THE SUN VISOR STOPS FUNCTIONING AND CREATES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. ALSO, PIECES OF PLASTIC CAN FLAKE OFF AND FALL ON THE DRIVER, POTENTIALLY GETTING IN THE DRIVER'S EYE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH MY CIVIC, NOT LIMITED TO A SCATTERED TRANSMISSION (~110K), A LED BRAKE LIGHT GOING OUT (~90K), AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE 10-048 CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK (JUST RECENTLY).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT SMELLED ANTIFREEZE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A CLICKING NOISE. BY THE TIME I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON. MY CAR THEN DIED AND SOON FOUND THE CAR HAD OVERHEATED. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK BUT WERE UNABLE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MORE THAN 8 YEARS SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS OFFERED FOR THIS PROBLEM.

HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I HAD WHITE SMOKE COME OUT OF MY ENGINE BAY. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE TOWING. HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER JUST TO FIND OUT THAT ITS GOT CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. AND THE SAID I AM OUT SIDE OF TIME PERIOD FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY JUST OVER A MONTH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE... IF THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK IS FAULTY THEN HOW CAN THEY PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE WARRANTY. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR NOT TOO LONG AGO AND NOW I HAVE TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO GET IT TO RUN AGAIN. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL PERIOD....

HELLO! A VERY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 06-09 HONDA CIVIC IS A TENDENCY FOR THE ENGINE BLOCKS TO CRACK. FREQUENTING ONLINE FORUMS AND WEBSITES, IT SEEMS A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED FROM LESS THAN 1,000 MILES TO UP TO 200,000 MILES. THAT BEING SAID, IT SEEMS THIS CAR IS A LITERAL TIME BOMB. THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS OF PEOPLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO RAPIDLY LOSE POWER TO ALL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A PROFOUND SAFETY HAZARD, NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL! THAT BEING SAID, HONDA ADMITTED THAT THE TENDENCY FOR BLOCKS TO CRACK WAS DUE A FAULTY CASTING PROCESS. THEY HAD ISSUES AN INITIAL 8 YEAR WARRANTY AND INCREASED THAT TO 10 YEARS. AS OF LATE, MANY CURRENT OWNERS HAVE STILL HAD THEIR BLOCKS CRACKED. ONLY THIS TIME, HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. AS SUCH, I WANTED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE AND HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO ALLEVIATE THIS MATTER. A CAR'S BLOCK UNDER NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND USE SHOULD NEVER CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL, LET ALONE RISK PEOPLE'S LIVES! EVEN IF A RECALL ISN'T ENFORCED, AT LEAST HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINES AND PLACE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TAKATA RECALL *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND ENGINE OVERHEATED, MAKING MY CAR A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, UNSAFE AND UNDRIVABLE. I TOOK MY HONDA INTO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND OFFERED TO RELPLACE WITH USED ENGINE FOR $4333.00. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE I FOUND PLENTY OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE CRACK WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM HONDA.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WAS UPSET BECAUSE MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN SEEN THERE FOR A WHILE I CAN TAKE MY CAR WERE I WANT TO TAKE IT BUT HE WAS RULED BY WHAT HE SAID TO ME. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CIVIC MY 1989 CIVIC DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS I FEEL I SHOULD GET HELP WITH SOME OF THE MONEY I HAVE ALREADY PAID OUT FOR THE REPAIRS MY CAR IS FALLING APART MONTH BY MONTH AND I NEED ANSWERS HONDA NEED TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT.

THERE IS A LEAK COMING THROUGH DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WHEN IT RAINS. NO BODY WORK OR ACCIDENTS IN THIS CAR.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS COME APART AT THE HARD-PLASTIC SEAMS AND FAIL TO RETRACT BACK INTO THE HEADLINER ONCE THEY ARE ENGAGED, LEAVING THEM BLOCKING DRIVER'S VIEW AT ALL TIMES. THEY CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO ANY GRADUAL POSITIONING. THEY SIMPLY HANG STRAIGHT DOWN. HONDA ADMITTED THE PROBLEM AND HAS SAID THEY ONLY WARRANTED REPLACEMENT FOR 7 YEARS. WHEN CAR WAS IN WARRANTY, DEALER PROMISED HONDA WOULD REPLACE AS LONG AS THE CAR HAD THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS IS A SIMPLE ENGINEERING FIX THAT HONDA WILL NOT ADDRESS. IT IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT GET REPLACEMENTS (VISORS LAST, ON AVERAGE 15-18 MONTHS AND MUST BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY) AND THE VISORS NOW HANG, OBSTRUCTING MY OUTWARD VIEW TO THE SIDE AND THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.
