2007 Honda Civic complaints

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CRACKED ALONG SEAM AND FALLS DOWN INTO VISION OF DRIVER. CAN'T BE RESTORED AND YOU CAN ONLY GET IT OUT OF THE WAY BY PUSHING IT TO THE SIDE. IT DOES NOT REMAIN ANCHORED THERE AND WHEN YOU TURN IT MOVES. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 1.) WHILE DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES AND DIFFERENT SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND WHILE DRIVING INTO TOWN. I WAS VERY UNSAFE ON THE FREEWAY. IN THE PASSING LANE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND HAD TO TRY TO STEER OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. 3.) TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER IN SALEM A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND HAD THE RECALLED VOLTAGE CONVERTER REPLACED AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT. NOTHING APPARENTLY HAPPENED TO CORRECT IT STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC, AND LATELY THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO MOVE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, AND LAST WEEK I NOTICED THE CASING NEAR THE ROD AROUND WHICH THE VISOR ROTATES CRACKING. TODAY THE VISOR CAME OFF COMPLETELY AND I REALIZE THAT THE TEETH SECURING THE VISOR TO THE ROD DON'T ROTATE AROUND THE ROD ANYMORE, FORCING THE PLASTIC IN THE VISOR TO WARP AND EVENTUALLY BREAK COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSES THE VISOR TO STAY COMPLETELY DOWN, BLOCKING MUCH OF THE FIELD OF VISION. AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I'M SURE I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PART. *TR

THE CONDENSER ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC WAS RECENTLY PUNCTURED BY A SMALL PEBBLE DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HAVE SINCE (THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH) FOUND THIS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM AMONG HONDA CIVIC OWNERS. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION, I FOUND THAT THERE IS LITTLE PROTECTION AFFORDED THE CONDENSER. ROAD DEBRIS CAN EASILY FLY THROUGH THE VENTS IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND PUNCTURE THE CONDENSER. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AT 60,000 MILES HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AT 600 MILES, AND IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TOMORROW. THE REPAIR COST TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER ($600) IS PROHIBITIVE, AND THE LACK OF A PROTECTIVE GRILLE IS A GLARING DESIGN FLAW. A RECALL IS WARRANTED. I WISH THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES INCURRED TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. *TR

EX COUPE MODELS. 3RD HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTIONING. VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION FOR THIS REASON. LIGHT CAME BACK ON THEN WENT OFF AGAIN WHILE MOVING WIRES A FEW TIMES. LED LIGHT NOT BLOWN, STILL WORKING BUT WIRING IS CAUSING THE MALFUNCTION. GOING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE RE-WIRED CORRECTLY. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. LED LIGHTS SHOULDN'T BLOW OUT THIS SOON BUT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE WHOLE LED STRIP HAS TO BE REPLACED AND ONLY HONDA CARRIES THE PART. ITS ALSO VERY HARD TO ACCESS THE LED PANEL/STRIP FOR REPLACEMENT. RE-WIRING IS THE ONLY CHEAPER OPTION. *TR

REAR SUSPENSION, SEVERE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-70MPH) CAUSING UNEVEN WEAR ON REAR TIRES. *TR

THE IMA SYSTEM ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID GOES THROUGH WHAT I CALL A DISCHARGE CYCLE MOSTLY IN WARMER WEATHER. THIS CULMINATES IN LOSE OF ALL IMA FUNCTIONS. I MY CASE THIS LOSE IS BRIEF. IT HOWEVER MAKE THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE ERRATIC. HONDA HAS MADE NO REAL ATTEMPT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM.OF THIS PROBLEM. HONDA SHOULD BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK AT FULL RETAIL VALUE SINCE IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SELL. I MY STATE IF I PURSUED THIS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT I COULD BE ENTITLED TO THREE TIMES THE DAMAGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A POTHOLE AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE IMPACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 07/21/11 *BF THE DEALER REPLACED THE SRS CONTROL UNIT. UPDATED 08/19/11*JB

CERTAIN 2006 AND 2007 HONDA CIVICS WERE PRODUCED WITH IMPROPERLY SPEC'ED REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGED TO THE REAR TIRES (CUPPING). HONDA ISSUED TWO TSB'S BUT ONLY ACTS ON THE PROBLEM ONCE THE TIRE DAMAGE IS PRONOUNCED. CUPPED TIRES EFFECT BRAKING, HANDLING, AND IN EXTREME CASES, TIRE FAILURE. I OWN AN 06 AND 07, ALL DEALER MAINTAINED, AND OF THE FOUR DEALERS I AND MY DAUGHTER HAVE DEALT WITH, ONLY ONE BROUGHT THE PROBLEM TO MY ATTENTION ONCE MY TIRES WERE CUPPED AND I COMPLAINED OF A VIBRATION IN MY SUSPENSION. THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED BUT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES AT MY EXPENSE. INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT PROPERLY SERVICE THEIR CIVICS ARE AT RISK OF POOR HANDLING, TIRE FAILURE AND ACCIDENTS DUE TO CUPPED AND FAILED TIRES. THE INTERNET IS REPLETE WITH COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER THE RADAR BY HONDA EVEN WITH THE POTENTIAL RISKS TO THE PUBLIC. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE! *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA CIVIC 2007 AND WITHIN 2 YEARS (~25K-26K MILES) THE REAR TIRES STARTED VIBRATING LOUDLY. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICING CENTER I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR CONTROL ARMS WHICH CAN CAUSE UNEVEN OR PREMATURE TIRE WEAR IN ALL 2006-2007 CIVICS, EXCEPT FOR THE SI. WHILE THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED OVER A FEW MONTHS I WAS IN WARRANTY BUT WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND I WENT IN FOR A CLAIM HONDA SAID I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PARTS FOR FREE BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR AND WOULD GET NO REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE TOTALLY CHOPPED TIRES. THIS IS A VERY WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM (ONLINE HONDA/CIVIC FORUMS ARE FULL OF COMPLAINTS) WHICH I BELIEVE POSES A GRAVE ROAD SAFETY PROBLEM AND DANGER TO THE LIVES OF OWNERS WHO COULD GET INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO BAD TIRES, IF NOT DIAGNOSED ON TIME. HONDA HAS BEEN SHUNNING ITS RESPONSIBILITY BY NOT SENDING OUT A RECALL AND ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM WITH DUE DILIGENCE. I URGE YOU TO TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH HONDA AND ENSURE THAT THE THOUSANDS OF AFFECTED CIVIC OWNERS GET COMPLETE PAID REPAIRS AND ASSURANCE FROM HONDA. *TR

AFTER BATTERY UPGRADE DUE TO HONDA RECALL NOTICE, THE 2007 CIVIC HYBRID BATTERY DOES NOT HOLD ITS CHARGE AS WELL AS IT USED TO. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN ICY CONDITIONS, AS ACCELERATING IS SLOW. IT'S ALSO DANGEROUS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AND MAKING A QUICK LEFT TURN. IF I EXPECT THE CAR TO PERFORM AS IT DOE WHEN THE BATTERY IS WORKING, I END UP BARELY GETTING UP TO SPEED IN TIME. I'M HESITANT TO CONTACT HONDA FOR A FIX BECAUSE OF REPORTS THAT THIS MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE AND ALSO DECREASES MPGS. *TR

DANGEROUS HANDLING AND EXTREME UNEVEN TIRE WEAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION DESIGN. HONDA ISSUES A TSB 08-001 ALERT TO ALL HONDA DEALERS, BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION AT MFG COST. THREE SETS OF TIRES AND A NEW SET OF REAR CONTROL ARMS LATER, AFTER JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THE TSB 08-001 ALERT, HAS RESULTED IN OVER $3,000 OF REPAIRS TO REPLACE TIRES, BRAKES AND THE FAILED REAR SUSPENSION (CONTROL ARMS) COMPONENTS THAT HAVE CAUSED THESE ISSUES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS BOTH ACTIVE AND PENDING. PLEASE CONTACT US WITH QUESTIONS AS WE HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OUR MAINTENANCE IN GREAT DETAIL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL TOWARD AN INTERSECTION WITH A HEAVILY TRAVELLED CROSS STREET. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS IN SPITE OF PUTTING ALL MY WEIGHT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGAN GRADUALLY EDGING FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION. WITHOUT TAKING MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO ITS REGULAR IDLING SPEED. I TOOK IT INTO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT RECCURRED, YET.

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HINGE IS DEFECTIVE. IT BROKE, AND THE VISOR IS NO LONGER ADJUSTABLE -- IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. JUDGING FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINS BEING REGISTERED ELSEWHERE ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN, AS I AM NOW BLINDED BY THE SUN OR HAVE THE VISOR BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I WILL CONTACT HONDA TO REQUEST A FREE REPLACEMENT, BUT AS MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SPLIT OPEN FALLING INTO FACE OF DRIVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR TIRES WERE ABNORMALLY POINTED INWARD AND CAUSING THE TIRES TO WEAR DOWN UNEVENLY AND PREMATURELY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRE ARM FOR BOTH REAR WHEELS. THE CONTACT FEELS THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT BECAUSE OF HOW THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

SUN VISOR HAS SPLIT INTO AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHY AND MY THIRD GEAR IS ALWAYS HARD TO GET INTO AND THE RUBBER SEALS ON THE DRIVER DOOR ALWAYS COMES OFF IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR CRACKED NEAR WHERE IT IS ATTACHED AND WILL NO LONGER STAY UP, SO IT FALLS DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THE WINDOW WOULD DERAIL AND BOUNCE BACK DOWN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOW HAD TO BE CLOSED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE GLASS AND RAIL WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. UPDATED 06/01/11*LJ UPDATED 1/24/2012 *LN *TR

IN 2008 I NOTED THAT THE TIRES OF OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC WERE WEARING UNEVENLY. I DISCOVERED THIS WHEN I ROTATED THE REAR TIRES TO THE FRONT AFTER ABOUT 25,000 MILES AND IT JUST ROARED. WE TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE UPPER REAR CONTROL ARMS AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM AND PRORATE THE REAR TIRES. AT THAT TIME I ELECTED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES AND ASSUMED THAT HONDA HAD FIXED THE DEFECT. AFTER 25,000 MILES, THE ROAR IS BACK AND I AGAIN HAVE CUPPED TIRES ON THE REAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS EVENTUALLY THIS SUSPENSION DEFECT COULD LEAD TO EITHER TIRE FAILURE AND/OR LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM (SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001) BUT TOLD US WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE DEALER THAT IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. WHILE POOR ALIGNMENT CAN LEAD TO CUPPED TIRES, I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING BULLETIN BOARDS ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT OTHERS ARE STILL EXPERIENCING TIRE WEAR THAT RESULTS IN CUPPED TIRES AFTER THE 15,000 TO 25,000 MILES ON TIRES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST 60,000 TO 75,000 MILES. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR TO AND FROM COLLEGE AND HAS NOT HAD A MAJOR FAILURE YET. HOWEVER, IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT HAD I NOT RECENTLY RIDDEN IN THE CAR AND HEARD THE PROBLEM THAT SHE WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT, UNAWARE THAT SHE MAY BE HEADING FOR A CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE DUE TO THIS DESIGN FAILURE. SPECIFICALLY, IT APPEARS THAT 2007 HONDA CIVIC REAR ENDS WILL "DRAG" THE REAR TIRES DOWN THE ROA

PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AT LOCAL DEALER. THE REAR TIRES EXHIBIT EXCESSIVE WEAR PREMATURELY. THE ORIGINAL SET OF TIRES WAS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. THE SECOND SET (75,000 MILE TIRES) WORE OUT AFTER 30,000 MILES (65,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER). OUR THIRD SET OF TIRES (ALSO, 75,000 MILE TIRES) ARE NOW WORN OUT WITH THE ODOMETER READING OF 97,000 MILES. JUST DISCOVERED THAT A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR REPLACEMENT OF REAR CONTROL ARMS. HAVE NOT PURSUED THAT ROUTE YET. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC GETS UNEVEN REAR TIRE WEAR REFERRED TO AS CUPPING WITH AN ACCOMPANYING VIBRATION AND NOISE. HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN, 08-001 REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUIRED TO FIX IT. THEY DENIED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI, SINCE DAY ONE I HAD PROBLEMS GOING INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR'S. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER MORE THEN ONCE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM.... NOW AT ALMOST 48K MILES, SOMETHIN BROKE IN MY TRANSMISSION WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY AROUND 10 CARS.... I READ POST ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT STILL HONDA WILL DO NOTHIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I EVEN WENT TO THE DEALER BEFORE MY WARRANTY WAS UP AND STILL THE SAME THING NOTHING IS WRONG.... NOW I HAVE TO LOOK TOG ET YM TRANSMISSION REBUILT OR LOOK FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION DEPENDS IF IT CAN BE REBUILT... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE HAVING THE TIRES REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL HUB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE FAILURE CAUSED EXCESSIVE TREAD WEAR ON THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. OPENED UP SUNROOF COVER TO DISCOVER THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. NOTHING HIT THE GLASS; IT IS BOWED OUTWARDS AS IF IT HAD BECOME TOO LARGE FOR THE FRAME. *TR

THE TRUNKLID OF THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC DEPARTS FROM THE OPEN POSITION WHILE PARKED ON A STEEP GRADE OR WITH A GUST OF WIND. SINCE MOST OF THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUNKLID IS AFT THE VELOCITY OF ITS MOVEMENT INCREASES AS IT IS CLOSING. THE ISSUE IS PERSONS ATTEMPTING TO LOAD OR RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT MAY SUFFER HEAD INJURY AS THE LID IS MOVING TO THE CLOSED POSITION WITHOUT WARNING STRIKING THE PERSON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE IMA BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

2007 HONDA CIVIC EX 4 DOOR (60,000 MILES), DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT OPEN AT THE SEAM AND NOW HANGS DOWN AND BLOCKS FORWARD AND SIDE LINE OF SIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

DEALER STATED HONDA WOULD COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER WHILE REPLACING THE ENGINE BLOCK, ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND THAT RESULTED FROM THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. HONDA IS ONLY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK AND CHARGING ME FOR THE REMAINING COSTS. *TR

SUN VISOR FAILED, RESULTING IN REDUCED VISIBILITY. *TR

DRIVING INTO THE PARKING LOG GOING AROUND 7 MPH THE SUPPORT ARM FOR THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL SHOCK/SUSPENSION SNAPPED IN THE MIDDLE AND MY WHEEL WAS BASICALLY DRAGGING FOR AROUND 20 FEET SO I COULD PARK AND WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. THIS CAR IS USED AS A COMMUTE CAR SINCE I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY I DRIVE AROUND 70 MILES A DAY COMBINED MOSTLY AT 70 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL ON DECENT HIGHWAYS. I DON'T JUMP OFF RAMPS OR DRIVE CRAZY THIS IS CLEARLY POOR MANUFACTURING, WORKMANSHIP, OR DESIGN. I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKING AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY.

BOTH SUNVISORS CRACKED FROM THE NORMAL SOUTHEASTERN HEAT AFTER I HAD HAD THE CAR ABOUT TWO YEARS. *TR

SINCE I HAVE GOTTEN THE IMA BATTERY UPGRADE THE CAR BATTERY COMPLETELY DISCHARGES RANDOMLY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. WHEN THE BATTERY DISCHARGES THE CAR LOOSES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ITS ACCELERATION. IT FREQUENTLY LOOSES ALL BARS ON THE BATTERY GAUGE, SIGNIFYING A RECALIBRATION EVENT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT A REASONABLE SPEED SINCE THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS TRYING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING THE CAR. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND AVOID ANY SITUATIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE QUICK ACCELERATION WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING OR ELSE YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THREE INCIDENTS SINCE THIS UPGRADE WHERE I HAVE NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME ABNORMALLY FIRM.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE AND BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SUN VISORS HAVE BECOME LOOSE AND HANG DOWN IN THE WAY CONSTANTLY. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS NOW DETACHED AND IS OF NO USE FOR BLOCKING SUNLIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES THAT MY VISION AS A DRIVER HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO THE LACK OF PROTECTION FROM THE SUN VISOR. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, EVEN WITH THE PROTECTION OF SUNGLASSES. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WILL EVENTUALLY DETACH AS WELL. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED, AS IT HAPPENED JUST AFTER MY CAR WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE VISORS WILL COST $75 EACH AND MY HONDA DEALERSHIP DOESN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE NEW VISORS WON'T HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THE OLD ONES HAD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND MANY OTHER CIVIC OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE VISORS. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT HONDA CORRECTS THIS PROBLEM AND HAS A RECALL FOR THE SUN VISORS, OTHERWISE AS A CONSUMER CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY, I WILL NOT WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

I HAD CAR CRASH TWO WEEKS AGO WITH HONDA CIVIC EXI 2007, DURING DRIVING PAST THREE YEARS I COMPLAINED IN SERVICE CENTER FEW TIMES LAST YEAR ABOUT CAR STABILITY IN TURNS AND AFTER DRIVE TEST THEY CAME UP WITH NOTHING, IT HAPPENED WITH ME FEW TIMES THAT AFTER TAKING SHARP TURN THE CARE SWING AND THE CAR GO OUT OF CONTROL. THIS TIME I WAS TAKING EXIT FROM THE BRIDGE AND TURNING DOWN TO THE MAIN ROAD ,I REALIZE THAT THE TURN IS SHARP AND I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE CARE DOESN'T RESPONSE INSTEAD THE CRAZY MOVEMENT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS HOLDING THE WHEEL AND MAKE STRONG BRAKE SURPRISINGLY THE CAR ACCELERATE AND TURN BACK TO HIT THE SIDE STEEL RAIL , I COULDN'T EXPLAIN TO POLICE AND ALL THE PEOPLE PASSES BY THE ACCIDENT SHOCKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THAT IT SEEM UP NORMAL CAR RESPONSE , I WAS IN CONVERSATION WITH FRIEND HAS THE SAME CAR AND I SHOCKED AFTER I KNOW HE HAS MADE ACCIDENT THE SAME WAY , NOT ONLY HIM BUT IN VISITING THE SHOW ROOM THE DEALER HAD THE SAME ACCIDENT BUT WITH JAZZ CAR , I REALIZE THAT HONDA HAS SERIOUS PROBLEM IN STABILITY AND I URGE ALL HONDA DRIVERS TO TAKE CARE AND DRIVE SAFE AND TRY TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AND I URGE ALL CONCERNED PERSON TO ACT OR CONDUCT THE COMPLAIN IN ORDER TO FIND SOLUTION BEFORE WE HONDA KILL MORE LIFE'S.*TR

A FRIEND MENTIONED HIS 07 CIVIC WAS SHAKING. HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT, SO I LOOKED IT UP. THIS NEEDS TO BE A HONDA " RECALL" BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO PAY BIG MONEY FOR TIRES, ALIGNMENTS ETC. FOR HONDA'S ~~ KNOWN ~~ PROBLEM. 2007 HONDA CIVIC REAR SUSPENSION COMPLAINTS (CONTROL ARM FAILURES) MANY (76) COMPLAINTS OF THIS HERE: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2007/HONDA/CIVIC/REAR+SUSPENSION "THE RESULT IS BECAUSE OF REAR CONTROL ARMS ON THIS VEHICLE BEING MANUFACTURED TOO SMALL CAUSING A NEGATIVE CAMBER OF THE REAR WHEELS AND CAUSING PREMATURE AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR OF THE INNER HALF OF THE TIRES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW INCREASING OVER TIME AND WAS NEVER RECALLED BY HONDA BUT SIMPLY ISSUED TO DEALERSHIPS UNDER SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 WHICH WAS NEVER CARRIED OUT DURING REGULAR SERVICE OF THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP." *TR

THIS REPORT DEALS WITH A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA CIVIC. IN 2009, I TOOK MY HONDA TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE CONSOLE BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS BECOMING EXTREMELY HOT, SO HOT IN FACT, THAT I COULD NOT TOUCH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS FIXED, HOWEVER, A YEAR TO THE MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN THE HEAT WAS AGAIN TURNED ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT BRACE THE HEAT LINE TO ANYTHING, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO "WAD UP SOMETHING" TO HAVE IT REST UPON. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE MANY RECALLS AND NOW THIS SITUATION THAT KEEPS SURFACING. WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, IF IT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED TWICE.

2007 HONDA CIVIC SI REAR END NOISE AND TIRE WEAR TOOK BACK TO DEALER THEY STATED THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT WHAT I BEEN HEARING THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM NATION WIDE HONDA NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM A TIRE BLOWING OUT. *TR

SUN VISOR IN 2007 HONDA CIVIC SPLITS AT SEAM AND FALLS IN TO LINE OF SIGHT. THE VISOR CAN NO LONGER BE LOCKED IN PLACE, IT CONTINUOUSLY FALLS IN TO THE LINE OF SIGHT. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT OPEN AND BLOCKS LINE OF SIGHT BECAUSE IT WON'T STAY UP OR AT ANY ANGLE AND GOES STRAIGHT DOWN, BLOCKING THE VISIBILITY OF STREET LIGHTS ESPECIALLY. I HAVE TO GO INTO HONDA TO HAVE IT FIXED NOW AND DON'T KNOW IF MY WARRANTY COVERS A SIMPLE SUN VISOR OR NOT, BUT IF NOT I HAVE SEEN REPORTS ONLINE THAT THIS IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT $100. I COULD USE THE "IN THIS TOUGH ECONOMY" LINE, BUT REGARDLESS OF THE ECONOMY WHO WANTS TO SPEND $100 ON SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AND SILLY AS A FAULTY SUN VISOR BECAUSE A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND A FEW BUCKS OF THEIR MONEY ON MAKING THIS RIGHT? SORRY THIS GOT A LITTLE EDITORIAL BUT IT IS JUST FRUSTRATING. *TR

OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX 4DR BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE MILD SHAKING DURING DRIVING WITH AN INCREASED SHAKE THE FASTER WE DROVE. THIS RESULTED IN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DURING SLIGHT SLIPPERY CONDITIONS ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THE WINTER BECAUSE OF A FISHTAILING EFFECT THAT WAS BEING INDUCED. THE RESULT IS BECAUSE OF REAR CONTROL ARMS ON THIS VEHICLE BEING MANUFACTURED TOO SMALL CAUSING A NEGATIVE CAMBER OF THE REAR WHEELS AND CAUSING PREMATURE AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR OF THE INNER HALF OF THE TIRES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW INCREASING OVER TIME AND WAS NEVER RECALLED BY HONDA BUT SIMPLY ISSUED TO DEALERSHIPS UNDER SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 WHICH WAS NEVER CARRIED OUT DURING REGULAR SERVICE OF THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY NOW WHEN I COMPLAINED OF A SHAKE AND FURTHER RESEARCH BY MYSELF HAVE THEY DECIDED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE WINTER AND SUMMER TIRES NOW THAT HAVE UNEVEN WEAR ON THEM AND HAVE EXPERIENCED HEADACHE-INDUCING SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AT THE PRESENT MOMENT HONDA IS REPAIRING THESE REAR CONTROL ARMS BUT I HAVE TO FLIP THE BILL FOR LABOR, AN ALIGNMENT, AND 2 NEW SETS OF TIRES WHICH ARE SAID TO BE COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN BY HONDA. THIS IS COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY AND A RECALL BE GENERATED FOR THESE VEHICLES. *TR
