2006 Honda Civic complaints

I RECENTLY HAD MY AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER PAID 115.00 FOR A SRS DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY SIGNAL. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE PASSENGER OUTER AND INNER WEIGHT SENSOR AT A WHOPPING COST OF NEARLY 900.00 THIS MANUFACTURING SAFETY FAILURE IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COVERED MY FAILING PAINT JOB ONE YEAR AGO BUT FAIL TO COVER A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT WILL NOT DEPLOY MY PASSENGERS AIRBAG AND ALSO WONT LOCK THE SEAT BELT PUTTING ANYBODY IN THAT SEAT AT GRAVE DANGER. SINCE THE SENSOR IS FAULTY AND DOES NOT DETECT ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. OTHER CIVIC OWNERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN ONE GET THE DEALER TO OWN UP TO ITS PRODUCT AND REPLACE ITS FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN THEIR VEHICLES. SMH *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE, EXCLUDING THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE DEFROST STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WEST TO CALIFORNIA, AT 65MPH, THE ENGINE POWER WAS COMPLETELY LOST. UPON PULLING OVER I OPENED THE HOOD AFTER ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES TO FIND COOLANT FLUID ALL OVER THE ENGINE. I ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE BUT IT ONLY TURNED OVER WITHOUT STARTING. WE TOWED IT TO SERVICE CENTER AT COLFAX, CA TO FIND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE INTERNAL DAMAGE FROM LEAKING COOLANT FLUID. THE SOURCE WAS NOT LOCATED YET WITH NO SIGNS OF RADIATOR DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED 90 MILES TO RENO, NV HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. AFTER RESEARCHING POSSIBLE CAUSES, I DISCOVERED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 10-048) THAT ADDRESSES AN ENGINE CRACK LEAKING COOLANT AND CAUSING ENGINE OVERHEATING. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT MY HONDA IS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO VIN INQUIRY AND AWAITING AN APPOINTMENT TO LOOK INTO CAUSE. THE ENGINE DASHBOARD GAUGES NEVER INDICATED ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY TO WARN OCCUPANTS OF PENDING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. *TR

THE SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER BOLT SNAPPED CAUSING THE BELT TO SLIP ONTO THE WATER PUMP PULLEY. THE BOLT HAD TO BE DRILLED OUT AND THE WATER PUMP PULLEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THIS BOLT BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. IT COST ME $1,100.91 TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA CIVIC BRAND NEW. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, STARTED NOTICING A SMALL AREA ON THE TOP OF THE TRUNK WHERE THE PAINT WAS COMING OFF. IT GRADUALLY SPREAD WHERE PAINT WAS COMING OFF FROM THE ROOF , TO THE FRONT HOOD TO THE SIDE PANELS OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS DOWN TO THE FENDERS. THE CAR LOOKS TERRIBLE, BIG SPLOTCHES ALL OVER THE CAR WHERE PAINT HAS COME OFF. IT MAKES THE CAR LOOK REALLY OLD. WE HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING WHERE THEY CAN RE-PAINT ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE. JUST HAPPENED TO BE READING A MAGAZINE CALLED SHOPSMART WHICH IS PUT OUT BY CONSUMER REPORTS AND THERE WAS AN ARTICLE "FIX YOUR CAR-FREE". IT MENTIONED THAT 2006-2011 HONDA CIVICS HAVING ISSUES WITH CRACKING AND/OR CHALKING ON THE HOOD, ROOF, TRUNK OR FRONT FENDERS FOR CERTAIN COLORS. THE FIX WAS THAT THE DEALER WILL REPAINT THE AFFECTED AREAS AT NO CHARGE. IN THE ARTICLE, IT GAVE DIFFERENT WEBSITES TO CHECK OUT OTHER COMPLAINTS, FIND OUT ABOUT ANY RECALLS. NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING WITH THE PAINT COMING OFF ALL OVER THE CAR. HONDA HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM NOR DO THEY WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT AND SIMPLY RE-PAINT THE TROUBLED AREAS. SO, RIGHT NOW WE'RE STUCK WITH A CRAPPY LOOKING CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PIVOT BOLT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE AIR BAG SENSOR THAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AT ANYTIME OR EVEN NOT GO OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT. BUT APPARENTLY THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED.

THIS CIVIC HAS A DEFECT ON REAR CONTROL ARMS CAUSING TIRES TO WEAR UNEVEN AND RAPIDLY AND MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK THIS IS UNSAFE ISSUE I REPLACE THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS, THE WHELL HUBS AND OFCOURSE THE TIRES AND THE PROBLEM STILL THERE UNTIL CONTROL ARM BE REPLACED FOR AN ADJUSTABLE ONE FOR PROPER ALIGMENT ,,, HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT PAYING FOR ANYTHING , I THINK COSTUMERS DON'T HAVE PAY FOR HONDA MISTAKES THAT'S NOT FAIR.

THE PAINT IS SEVERELY COMING OFF AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. AND I HAVE CALLED HONDA SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP. *JS

PAINT HAS SEVERE ISSUES NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED ANKLE, A FRACTURED NOSE AND RIBS, AND A BRAIN INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATED 2/11/15*CN UPDATED 10/2/2015*JS

HONDA PART#: 77900-SNA-A01 (METHODE) -OR- 77900-SNA-A02 (FURUKAWA) REEL ASSY, CABLE. WITH THE FAILURE OF THIS PART, VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO CONTROLS AND SRS AIR BAGS FAILED. THE CABLE REEL ASSEMBLY IS THE COMPONENT THAT MAKES THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FUNCTION BUTTONS AND AIR BAG ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE NON-ROTATING STEERING COLUMN. THE RIBBON CABLE INSIDE THIS MECHANISM WAS COMPLETELY SEVERED ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

DAMAGED AND FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS CAUSE EXCESSIVE RATTLING TO MOTOR/CAR. APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUES WHICH CAN LEAD TO FURTHER ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND EMITTING UNKNOWN NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

BOLT THAT CONNECTED TENSIONER, TO BELT SHEARED OFF. CAUSING VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION. CAR BECAME NOT DRIVABLE. MIGHT HAVE CAUSED INJURY AT HIGH SPEED, OR LOSS OF CONTROL. A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC, ACCORDING TO INTERNET COMPLAINTS! DESIGN PROBLEM? ONE OF THE MOST PREVALENT PROBLEMS REPORTED. *TR

I REPORTED TO HONDA DEALER THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT PARKING PROPERLY. OPEN ROAD HONDA CHARGED $62 FOR A "DIAGNOSIS FEE" AND REPORTED THAT A NEW MOTOR WAS NEEDED THAT WILL COST $374.41. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. IT WOULD SEEM THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *JS

FUEL PUMPS ARE LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF PUMP HOUSING AND ARE FILLING UP THE CUBBY HOLE THAT THEY SIT IN, WITH GAS. THIS PUMP HAS A ACCESS HOLE UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CARS, WITH SOME LEAKING ON THE GROUND. IT ALSO IS KNOW TO BE ON SOME ODYSSEY AS WELL. IF PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT THE FUMES COULD FILL THE AREA AND BE IGNITED BY A WATER HEATER OR SOME OTHER SOURCE. I HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THESE PUMPS OVER THE YEARS AND HONDA DEALERS ARE DOING THE SAME WITH NO CONCERN THAT THEY ARE A DEFECT AND COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK. *TR

THE PAINT STARTED COMING OFF THE TOP OF THE CAR, AND NOW IT HAS COME OFF THE HOOD AS WELL. THE CLEAR COAT WENT FIRST THEN THE PAINT. *TR

A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS PURSUED AND SETTLED WITH HONDA CORPORATION IN DECEMBER 2013 RELATED TO UNEVEN/EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON 2006 HONDA CIVICS. IT WAS RELATED TO FAULTY CONTROL ARMS. I MISSED THE DEADLINE TO FILE A CLAIM (JANUARY 16, 2014), BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT. MY CIVIC HAS HAD 3 SETS OF TIRES SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2006. 2 TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 32,261 MILES, THEN 2 MORE AT 39,399MILES. AFTER THAT 4 TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 55,750 MILES, AND THEN 4 MORE AT 72,450 MILES. RAPID WEAR OCCURRED BETWEEN 39,399 - 55,750 MILES, AND 55,750 - 72,450 MILES. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM AT NO COST AND PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR TIRES THAT HAVE WORN TOO RAPIDLY. *TR

DEFECTS IN REAR SUSPENSION CAUSE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. AFTER ROTATING THE TIRES, THE FRONT WHEELS VIBRATION MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING OVER A CURB, THE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE DEALER STATED THAT ALL THE AIR BAGS WERE DISABLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

ANOTHER STARTER MOTOR PROBLEM. CAR WON'T START. NOT THE BATTERY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS GENERATION OF HONDA CIVICS HAVING CARS NOT ABLE TO START UP THAT'S NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND FOUND OUT THERE HAS BEEN A SETTLED CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BECAUSE THE REAR CONTROL ARM CAUSES EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE REAR TIRES. I GUESS I AM STUCK HAVING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR ON MY OWN. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. IT STARTED BY ILLUMINATING PERHAPS 5% OF THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING, BUT NOW IT ILLUMINATES PERHAPS 50% OF THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA ON 9-24 THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN ON 9-26 AND THEY AT FIRST SUSPECTED A SHORT IN THE WIRES,AND SAID NO HARD CODES WERE STORED. AFTER A MORE WORK HONDA REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AIRBAG NEEDED REPLACEMENT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A PASSIVE ELEMENT LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER ONLY 8 TO 9 YEARS. ISN'T THIS A DEFECT?

I WAS ON HWY 18 JUST BEFORE LAKE ARROWHEAD, CA WHEN I LOST THE POWER STEERING AND ALMOST WENT OFF THE CLIFF. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE BELT TENSIONER BRACKET'S PIVOT BOLT HAD SHEERED OFF THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING THE BELT TENSIONER TO COME LOOSE. THIS, IN TURN CAUSED LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THERE WAS A TSB (09-007) ISSUED BY HONDA FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN NUMBERS. THIS TSB CALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE PIVOT BOLT AND THE DRIVE BELT. THE TSB EXPIRED ON JANUARY 30, 2012, HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. I ALSO CONTACTED A SMALL LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF THIS PIVOT BOLTS THEY HAVE SOLD IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THIS DEALERSHIP ALONE SOLD OVER TEN BOLTS. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BEFORE INJURIES OCCUR OR WORSE, LIVES ARE LOST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 15 MPH, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE FILLED WITH SMOKE. AS A RESULT, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TRUNK LATCH SUDDENLY FAILED. THERE IS NO KEYHOLE ON THE EXTERIOR TRUNK, AND THE FOB AND INTERIOR SWITCH CAN'T OPEN IT. THE SEAT RELEASES ARE ALSO IN THE TRUNK, SO THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT GOING TO THE DEALER, AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MULTIPLE PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT DATE BACK TO 2008. I CAN'T GET TO MY SPARE TIRE OR ANY OF MY OTHER EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT. *TR

SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE GLUE GIVES OUT CAUSING THE CLAMP TO LOSE TENSION AND THE VISOR TO FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAS YET TO FIX THE PART. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE VISORS REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS CIVICS BOTH TWO AND FOUR DOOR MODELS IN THE 2006 THRU 2010 YEAR MODELS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 111,000 MILES ON MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WHICH HAS GONE OUT FOR THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. WHEN ADDED TO THE VISORS WHICH CAME WITH THE CAR, I CURRENTLY HAVE HAD FOUR GO BAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FIVE GO BAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HONDA MAKES VISORS THAT WILL NOT GO BAD IN THIS WAY IN THEIR OTHER MODELS. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, SUN VISOR DESIGN. *TR

THE TENSIONER BOLT BROKE IN HALF BECAUSE IT WAS THE WRONG BOLT PUT IN BY HONDA.. NEEDS NEW ENGINE AND HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT... ONLY HAVE 42000 MILES ON IT... *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE PIVOT BOLT BROKE ON OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC... TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN ON FOR MY HONDA CIVIC VIN NUMBER BUT WHEN I HAD IT TOWED UP TO HONDA THEY CLAIMED IT WASN'T FOR MY HONDA AT ALL BUT FOR THE 2007... WELL MY HONDA WAS ONE OF THE LAST ONES MADE IN 2006 AND I THINK IT HAD A 2007 MOTOR PUT IN... MY CAR ONLY HAS 42000 MILES ON IT AND IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE?????? WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO FIX... THIS WASN'T ANYTHING I HAD DONE IT IS A MANUFACTURING MISTAKE AND I THINK HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT... I WAS FIGHTING THEM BUT NO ATTORNEY WILL TAKE THE CASE AGAINST HONDA... I AM A POOR WORKING MAN WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX A CAR I PAID 20000 DOLLARS FOR A MISTAKE THAT IS HONDA'S FAULT.... PLEASE HELP! *TR

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WAS DISCOVERED AFTER COOLENT ESCAPED AND CAR OVERHEATED AND STALLED. *TR

THE BRAKE LINE OF OUR 2006 CIVIC DEVELOPED A MAJOR LEAK AS A RESULT OF CORROSION OR ABRASION, LEADING TO A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND SEVERELY DIMINISHED BRAKING. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBACK IS FALLING OFF. POSSIBLY CLIPS BROKE. *TR

CLEAR COAT AND PAINT ON ROOF IS TURNING WHITE AND COMING OFF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON 110 FWY THE REAR SUSPENSION BOUNCED LIKE NO SHOCKS ON IT THAT REALLY SCARED ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO THE WHEEL BEARING BEING PAINTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD EXCESSIVELY WEAR DOWN TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,838.

KNOW PROBLEM WITH 2006 HONDA CIVICS THAT HONDA FAILED TO RECALL-- CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK CAUSED 2006 CIVIC EX COUPE TO OVERHEAT AND BREAK DOWN IN RALEIGH NC. WAS STRANDED FOR 4 HOURS IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PART OF TOWN AND HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE BLOCK RATHER THAN RECALL IT. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALER AND SAYS THAT THE HEAD IS WARPED DUE TO THE OVERHEATING. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA BUT THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS EXPENSIVE COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF THE WARPED HEAD BECAUSE THEY ONLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE BLOCK EVEN THOUGH THE FAULTY BLOCK CAUSED THE HEAD DAMAGE. HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE IMPLIED THAT I HAD BEEN NEGLIGENT IN SOME WAY, PERHAPS BY IGNORING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAUSING THE DAMAGE. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006 AND NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNTIL THE MOMENT THE CAR BROKE DOWN. HONDA IS ACTING IRRESPONSIBLY WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE THE REAR WINDSHIELD STARTED TO DEVELOP A CRACK AND THE CRACK WAS EXPANDING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRACK WAS CAUSED BY THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO REMEDY WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

RETURNING HOME, I STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE IN THE ROADWAY WITH SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO MY PASSENGER FRONT, SUSPENSION & FENDER. THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WAS EVEN BROKEN BUT NO PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN & I NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED.!....UPDATED 07/31/14 *BF

LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE TRYING TO AVOID AN OBJECT ON THE HIGHWAY. MY VEHICLE HIT THE RAILING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A COMPLETE LOST AS OTHER DAMAGE TO THE FRAME OCCURRED, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL CAME OFF. *JS

WHEN IT IS NEAR FREEZING OR BELOW OUTSIDE, MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES BEHAVE ERRATICALLY. THE INTERMITTENT SETTING STOPS WORKING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS KEEP GOING. THE SLOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEED WORK. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OFF, THEY TAKE AWHILE TO STOP AND STOP IN RANDOM LOCATIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 4/17/2014 AND I RECORDED A VIDEO WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES CAN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION. WE ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX IT AND THEY WANT TO GET PAID TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

HEAVY, LOOSE OBJECTS IN TRUNK STRUCK & BROKE OFF TRUNK LATCH ASSEMBLY, PREVENTING REAR HATCH FROM BEING OPENED IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING REMOTE. (NO EXTERNAL TRUNK KEYHOLE EXISTS.) SINCE REAR SEAT FOLD-DOWN RELEASES ARE LOCATED IN THE TRUNK, ONE OF THE REAR SEATS NEED TO BE UNBOLTED TO BE ABLE TO PULL THE SEAT RELEASE, REMOVE THE SEAT, AND MANUALLY UNLATCH THE TRUNK. THE DESIGN OF THE REAR LATCH IS NOT PROTECTED AGAINST STRIKES FROM HEAVY OBJECTS AND IS THEREFORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IF THE LATCH WERE TO BREAK, THE VEHICLE GET A FLAT TIRE, AND THE DRIVER UNABLE TO REMOVE THE REAR SEAT FOR LACK OF TOOLS OR KNOW-HOW, THE DRIVER WOULD BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE AND BE STRANDED. *TR

HONDA CLAIMS THAT THE REAR UPPER SUSPENSION ARMS SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS INVOLVED SINCE I AM PAST THE DATE ON THE WARRANTY. *TR

I RECENTLY JUST REAR ENDED SOMEONE ON THE FREEWAY WHO CAME TO A VERY SUDDEN STOP IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. MY CAR HAS $5,500 WORTH DAMAGES ALL IN THE FRONT END (AND IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE) FROM HOW HARD THE IMPACT WAS, FOR THE CAR I HIT HAD A STEEL RAMP ON THE BACK OF IT. MY AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF AND I NOW HAVE A SPRAINED NECK, SHOULDER, AND NERVE DAMAGE SHOOTING DOWN MY LEFT ARM. MY SEATBELT DOES NOT RETRACT ANYMORE IT MUST HAVE LOCKED AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON EVEN MY DAMAGE ADJUSTER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY AIRBAG DIDN'T GO OFF, FOR IT SHOULD HAVE! *TR

LAST EVENING 5/28/2014 AT 10:10 PM MY WIFE AND I WERE RUNNING AN ERRAND WHEN A DRIVER FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED BLINDLY ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF US. DUE TO THE FACT A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER COMBINATION WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, STOPPED, I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY VEHICLE IN THE SUICIDE LANE UNTIL HE WAS IN MY LANE OF TRAVEL. WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 35 MPH WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED. MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC COUPE HIT A LATE 2000'S JEEP WRANGLER. IMPACT AREA WAS TO THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELTS WORKED AS DESIGNED, BUT NEITHER AIRBAG WENT OFF. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR AND THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER ON THE RIGHT FRONT IS HANGING. THIS SYSTEM WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL, AND HAD NO CODES STORED IN THE SDM NOR ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE IMPACT WAS LESS THAN 6 INCHES FROM THE SENSOR. MY QUERY IS TO WHY THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SPEED SHOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE DEPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS THE AREA OF IMPACT. *TR

A FAULTY DESIGNED UPPER REAR CONTROL ARM CAUSES UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND ALIGNMENT & BRAKING ISSUES. *TR

AS THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF NOTIFICATION THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTED UNTIL I STARTED A WEB SEARCH FOR INFORMATION ON WHY THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TO THE HONDA CIVIC. WE FORMERLY OWNED A HONDA ACCORD AND NEVER HAD ANY SERVICE PROBLEMS (OTHER THAN REGULAR MAINTENANCE CONCERNS). I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE FACT THAT THIS IS TAKING UP TIME TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OF FACTS, REPAIRING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS AND THEN BUYING NEW TIRES. THE TIRE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER UNEVEN WEAR!!! *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BROKE AND FELL OFF IN AUGUST 2011 ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. PRIOR TO AUGUST 2011, WHEN MOVING IT BACK INTO THE NONUSE POSITION IT WOULD STICK AND HANG IN THE WAY CAUSING VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. THEN EVENTUALLY BROKE ALL THE WAY AND JUST FELL OFF. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO MISUSE OR OVERUSE!!!! THIS IS A FAULTY PRODUCT!!! I AM APPALLED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A CORRECTIVE PRODUCT DESIGNED AND REPLACED THROUGH A RECALL SCENARIO!!!! IT IS OBVIOUS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS PART!!!! IF YOU WILL SEARCH THE INTERNET AND EVEN THIS SITE, YOU WILL SEE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WARRANTS A RECALL! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU CANNOT SEE WHEN THE SUN IS AT A CERTAIN LEVEL IN THE SKY WITHOUT THE VISOR, AND YOU CANNOT SEE WITH A FAULTY VISOR THAT HANGS IN YOUR FIELD OF VISION WHEN IN A "BROKEN BUT HASN'T FALLEN OFF YET" SCENARIO. HONDA - YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!! PLEASE RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY DAUGHTER!!!! I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER, NEVER, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A SUNVISOR. *TR

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

I ON A 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX. YESTERDAY I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND AS I DID SO THE CAR STOPPED AND THEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE AND ROAR. I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER AS THE CAR BEGAN TO TRY TO JUMP FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE RACED EVEN MORE AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT HOLDING THE CAR BACK SO I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CARE ENGINE WAS NORMAL THIS TIME AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RACE SO I DROVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT WHEN THEY DID A VISUAL CHECK OF THE GAS PEDAL, THEY FOUND THAT THE GAS PEDAL HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR MOUNTING. THEY TIGHTEN THIS PART AND CHARGED ME FOR LABOR AND THE TIME ON THE COMPUTER (WHICH CAME TO $104.). THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR SOME OF THE 2006 HONDA CIVICS, BUT THAT MINE WAS NOT THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL. WHEN I LOOK ON YOU WEBSITE IT TYPE IN MY VIN NUMBER AND MAKE AND MODEL, IT SAYS IT IS ON RECALL AND THAT THEY HAVE A MODIFICATION KIT FOR THE GAS PEDAL THAT THEY SEND TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE CAR FOR FREE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE ORDER THE REPAIR KIT FOR MY GAS PEDAL AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD SERVICE MY CAR FOR FREE. MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S COULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK WITH THIS INCIDENT AND POSSIBLY WITHO
