2007 Honda Civic complaints

2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH UNEVEN REAR TIRE WEAR THAT IS NOTICEABLE AT 5000 MILES AND CUPS REAR TIRES SO BAD BY 10000 MILES THAT THERE IS SO MUCH NOISE IN VEHICLE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE SHOT. BY 15000 MILES THE TIRES ARE SHOWING CORDS BECAUSE OF UNEVEN WEAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED ARMS ON REAR, SOLD ME NEW TIRES FOR REAR, AND REALIGNED VEHICLE. SAID PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. NOW HAVE 11000 MILES ON NEW TIRES INSTALLED WITH SAME PROBLEM ON NEW REAR TIRES. DEALER WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM. LOOKED ON INTERNET AT SAME COMPLAINTS ON SAME YEAR HONDA CIVIC ABOUT UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. SAME PROBLEM ACROSS COUNTRY WITH DEALER NOT KNOWING HOW TO FIX AND SAYS IT IS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX. THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG PROBLEM AS THESE CARS ARE SLOWLY PLACED INTO THE USED CAR MARKET AND TIRES ARE A SECOND THOUGHT BECAUSE IF YOU ARE STANDING BESIDE THE CAR, THE TREAD LOOKS BRAND NEW WHILE LOOKING DOWN ON THE TIRE AND YOU ASSUME IT IS NOT THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE AND KEEP DRIVING ON THEM. AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS A TIRE FAILURE COULD BE FATAL. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR AND WOULD COST 690 TO FIX. SEEMS TO ME HONDAS HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH AIRBAGS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 3 YEARS OLD. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT AIRBAGS BE CONSIDERED AS REAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON A VEHICLE SINCE IT'S NOT OPTIONAL. IF SEAT BELTS ARE COVERED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR, THEN WHY NOT AIRBAGS? I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A REPAIR AN OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. IT IS FOR SAFETY AFTER ALL. *TR

WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED OFF, THEY INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT STOP (PARK) AT THE CORRECT LOCATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD OR THEY CONTINUE TO RUN. *TR

AT 59,361 MILES THE CAR STARTED LEAKING COOLANT WHILE I WAS ON A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. IT HAD A CRACKED BLOCK. HONDA REPLACED THE SHORT BLOCK AND RESURFACED THE HEAD UNDER WARRANTY. NO LOANER CAR OR OFFER TO SUPPLY RENTAL. *TR

VEHICLE IS ON 3RD SET OF TIRES AT 54,000 MILES. THROUGH SEARCH, LOCATED HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN DATE 01/22/2008 THAT RECTIFIES THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, FIRST SET OF ORIGINAL TURANZAS LASTED 22,000 MILES AND BRIDGESTONE BLAMED HONDA. 2ND SET LASTED JUST 30,000 MILES. HONDA CHARGED $32 TO REPAIR PROBLEM, BUT SHOULD HAVE REPORTED TO CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN. CUSTOMER IS OUT THE COST OF TIRES (APPROX. $400). *TR

SUN VISOR ATTACHMENT FAILS (THE VISOR SPLITS APART) AND FALLS INTO LINE OF SIGHT. THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. REPLACEMENT VISORS DO THE SAME THING. I HAVE HAD THE VISOR REPLACED 3 TIMES. *TR

AT LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC, THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED AND FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT I NEEDED BRAKE WORK WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY THE DEALER WHEN THEY DID SOME RECALL WORK ON THE CAR FOR ANOTHER ISSUE. WHILE I WAS RESEARCHING WHY THIS MAY BE HAPPENING AND TRYING TO GET SOME ANSWERS FROM THE MANUFACTURER THE BRAKES FAILED CAUSING MAJOR REPAIR BILLS, TIRE DAMAGE AND PAINT DAMAGE TO THE CAR. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO OPEN AND INVESTIGATION OR ENTERTAIN A COMPLAINT IN THE MATTER. THE DEALER WILL NOT HONOR REPAIRS UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I MISSED PAYMENTS AND RISKED REPOSSESSION DUE TO THE COST/DAMAGES. HAD THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. ALTHOUGH HONDA DENIES IT, THERE ARE OTHER CASES OF FAULTY BRAKES ON CIVIC AND ACCORD MODELS FROM 2006 TO PRESENT. *TR

WHILE GOING TO MY DRS. HOME IN TILDON PARK, IN BERKELEY, TO GET TO TILDON PARK, THERE IS A SERIES OF 3 HILLS WITH STOP SIGNS AT THE TOP OF EACH. AFTER STOPPING AT THE SECOND STOP SIGN, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AFTER I LET THE CAR ROLL BACK AND I PARKED ON THE CURB FOR 5 MINUTES WITH THE CAR IDLING, FINALLY THE CAR FINISHED GOING UP THE THIRD HILL AND I MADE IT TO THE DRS. HOUSE, FROM THE DRS HOUSE I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS PROBLEM, PLUS, WHEN I GOT TO THE DRS HOUSE, THERE WAS A SMELL, LIKE A SLIPPING CLUTCH OR HOT BRAKES, I ALSO TOLD HONDA OF THIS, THEY MADE ME A APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS APPROACHED BY A SERVICEMAN AND HE ASKED ME,,WHAT WAS I BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR?...I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE TRANS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, I WAS TOLD..TAKE THE CAR HOME, WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THAT YET. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND I WAS TOLD..TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, SO A HOUR LATER THE CAR WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THE SERVICEMAN EXACTLY WHERE I WAS WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A DRIVER GO UP THOSE HILLS AND SEE IF THE CAR WILL DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TWO DAYS. FINALLY I CALLED AND WAS TOLD..THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE ITSELF. WHEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, I ASKED..DID YOU GO UP TO TILDON PARK?..I WAS TOLD YES. TWO DAYS LATER I HAD TO GO UP THOSE SAME HILLS AGAIN..AND AGAIN>.THE C

I TOOK MY HONDA CIVIC LX TO GET WATER LEAKS AROUND THE WINDSHIELD REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME I'D BE CALLED BACK TO GET THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD REPLACED, HOWEVER, DESPITE CONTINUOUS FOLLOW UP WITH THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REPAIR MY WINDSHIELD. THE LATEST NEWS I RECEIVED WITH RUN-AROUND CALLS IS THAT THE DEALER HAS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER VENDOR. I AM VERY WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY ON A DAILY BASIS. CAN YOU HELP ME GET THIS RESOLVED? I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH POMPANO BEACH HONDA, 5381 NORTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, POMPANO BEACH, FL 33064. *TR

BOTH OF MY REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVICS EAT UP TIRES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THE CAR THAT CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR AT UNEVENLY AND DANGEROUSLY QUICK. WE ONLY GET 1/3 OF THE WARRANTY LIFE OF TIRES AND WHEN WE REPLACE THE TECHNICIANS TELL US THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON. THEY ARE WORN UNEVENLY, BLISTERED ON THE INSIDE SO MUCH THAT WIRES ARE STICKING THROUGH. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC PAINT IS DEFECTED. CROWSFEET ALLOVER THE HOOD AND FENDERS.HONDA WILL NOT COVER 100 PERCENT. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID: REAR WHEELS MAKE A LOT OF NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO RECALL ON 2007 CIVIC (RECALL # 07V399000) FOR DAMAGED WHEEL BEARINGS, HOWEVER, MY HYBRID IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. WHEN IS A CIVIC NOT A CIVIC? *TR

2007 CIVIC SI IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR AND GRINDS. TWO ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BY DEALER, BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER EACH REPAIR. PROBLEM STARTED AT AROUND 8K MILES, WAS REPAIRED THEN IT RECURRED AT AROUND 15K MILES. THE ODOMETER IS NOW AT 23K MILES AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. THE FIRST REPAIR ATTEMPT REPLACED THE 3RD GEAR SYNCRO. THE 2ND REPAIR REPLACE THE 3RD & 4TH GEAR SYNCRO AND SHIFT FORK. I RECOMMEND HONDA ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE 6SP MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON THE CIVIC SI DUE TO NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX. TODAY I TOOK IT TO MEINIKE TO GET MY OIL CHANGE AND TIRES ROTATED. THERE WAS NO TREAD LEFT ON THE INNER TIRES. I'VE ROTATED MY TIRES EVERY 6K MILES AND NOW I'M AT 28K MILES. THE MECHANIC SAID I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU MADE IT HERE. HE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THEM BACK ON BECAUSE THEIR WORN TO THE CORE. THERE IS ALSO NO TREAD LEFT. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW, BUT WHEN I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. HONDA SAID THEY WOULDN'T PAY TO HAVE THE TIRES FIXED FROM THEIR DEFECT. *TR

HONDA CIVIC SI 2007, PROBLEM WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IN DIFFERENTIAL GEAR AND OTHER PART IN THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION. *TR

ON THURS. OCT. 1 I DROVE TO WORK IN MY '07' HONDA CIVIC EX 4-DR WITH 48,900 MILES(APPROX) AND I STARTED HEARING A NOISE. THE CAR KEPT RUNNING PRETTY WELL THOUGH SO I CONTINUED THE 22 MILES TO MY OFFICE. WHEN I GOT THERE I WAS SMELLING BURNING RUBBER AND IT WAS MAKING QUITE A RACKET. I CALLED ROUSH HONDA IN WESTERVILLE, OHIO AND BROUGHT IT IN THAT AFTERNOON. I HAD TO RUN ON BACK ROADS INSTEAD OF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT IT WOULDN'T MAKE IT - I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE HAD IT TOWED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WATER PUMP PULLEY BROKE, RUINED THE WATER PUMP, TENSIONER AND BELT ETC. I HAVE A DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY THROUGH 100,000 MILES BUT NOT A PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN! I HAD AN OVERALL WARRANTY BUT I AM ABOUT 900 TO 1,000 MILES PAST. IT WILL COST $500.00 PLUS TO FIX. I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND THEN ON YOUR SITE AND I FIND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 08=039 (NHTSA # 10026791) ON BOLTS COMING LOOSE ON WATER PUMP PULLEYS AND DOING DAMAGE. I EVEN ASKED THE ROUSH SERVICE MAN WHEN HE CALLED TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS IF THESE DO THIS A LOT. HE SAID THAT THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT HE HAD EVER HEARD OF. DO YOU BELIEVE HIM? I SURE DON'T! WHAT CAN I DO? I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF AUTO MAKERS BUILDING JUNK AND THEN NOT STANDING BEHIND IT. I BOUGHT CHRYSLERS FOR 30 YEARS AND GOT SICK OF THEIR GAMES AND SWITCHED TO HONDA TO GET AWAY FROM IT BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY PLAY THEM TOO. NOW ADMITTEDLY, NO INJURY OR PHYSICAL DAMAGE WAS CAUSED, BUT I AM SURE GLAD THAT THE PUMP DIDN'T FAIL C

2007 HONDA CIVIC, BOTH SUN VISORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE PURCHASED THE CARE BRAND NEW MARCH 2007 - AND THIS WILL BE THE 4TH TIME GETTING THESE REPLACED, I HAVE CALLED HONDA'S 800 NUMBER TWICE AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME I AM UNDER WARRANTY. WELL, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE THING BREAKS AGAIN WHILE I AM DRIVING AND GET INTO AN ACCIDENT? THIS IS AN ISSUE AND I HAVE TO DRIVE 60 MILES ROUND TRIP EVERY TIME I NEED THESE REPLACED. I THINK HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THESE VISORS - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - I LIVE IN FL AND USE MY VISORS EVERYDAY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED 4 TIMES WITHIN 2 YEARS! *TR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR ON OUR 2007 HONDA SEDAN EXPLODED AND FLOPPED DOWN IN OUR FACE, WHICH CREATES A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. *TR

TIRES WEAR OUT , DUE TO WEAK STABILIZER BARS ON REAR END, HONDA REPLACED THE STABILIZER'S, AND ALIGNED CAR, HOWEVER DON'T PAY TO REPLACE TIRES, ONLY WAY TO KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IS TO TAKE CAR TO DEALER, IF YOU GET YOU SERVICE ANYWHERE ELSE, YOU DON'T KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. I TOOK CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND GOT THE WORD ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE HYBRID BATTERIES DISCHARGE IN WARM WEATHER LEAVING THE CAR DANGEROUSLY UNDER-POWERED. THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY AND WHEN IT DOES THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO SAFELY MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, CHANGE LANES OR TURN BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT CAN BE VERY SCARY AT TIMES. INITIALLY THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURRED IN VERY HOT WEATHER BUT IS WORSENING AND NOW OCCURS ROUTINELY IN REGULAR WARM AIR ' MOST ANY TIME THE A/C IS USED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT CAN ONLY SAY THAT HONDA CORPORATE IS AWARE AND INVESTIGATING. SAFETY DICTATES THAT THIS INVESTIGATION MOVE FASTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE REAR SUSPENSION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE, MAKE NOISE AND THE TIRES TO BECOME UNEVEN. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE STRUTS SUSPENSION WHICH WAS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE REAR AXLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO REPAIR THE SUSPENSION IF THE REPLACED TWO TIRES AND ALIGNED THEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE TIRES SINCE THE STRUTS AND REAR AXLE CAUSED THE FAILURE. SERVICE BULLETIN# 08-0001 DATED FEBRUARY 2009 IS RELATED TO THE REAR SUSPENSION AND DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE BULLETIN ALSO INDICATED THAT THE DEALER HAD TO INSTALL A REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT, REPLACE THE FAN BOLTS AND THE WORN TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,098. THE DEALER REPLACED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT, BUT WHEN THE CONSUMER ASKED THE DEALER IF A 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT HAD BEEN DONE, THEIR REPLY WAS THE TIRES WERE SO BADLY WORN AND ALIGNMENT COULD NOT BE PERFORMED UNLESS TWO TIRES WERE PURCHASED FOR THE REAR. THE CONSUMER STATED HE SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS FOR THE REAR AXLE CAUSED BY THE BADLY WORN TIRES. THE SERVICE BULLETIN STATED THE WORN TIRES WERE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH OTHER PARTS. THE MANNER IN WHICH THE TIRE REPLACEMENT WAS HANDLED BY THE DEALER GAVE THE CONTACT ONLY TWO OPTIONS; DRIVE AWAY IN A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE WITHOUT COMPLETION OF THE WORK OR PAY WHATEVER THE DEALER ASKED FOR THE

1. I DRIVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE. MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY CRUISING ALONG, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND SUDDENLY, OUT OF NOWHERE, MY REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE. 2. MY REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, IT SNAPPED IN HALF BECAUSE THE PARTS MADE TO ASSEMBLE THEM WERE MADE FROM LOWER QUALITY MATERIAL. THE QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED TO PUT TOGETHER THE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. WHOEVER THOUGHT OF USING THAT PARTICULAR MATERIAL FOR A REAR CONTROL ARM IN A VEHICLE SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE CHARGES PRESSED AGAINST HIM FOR ATTEMPTED MANSLAUGHTER. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING ON THE ROAD, AND THE PIECE JUST SNAPPED. THIS IS DEFINITELY DUE TO A LACK OF COMMITMENT TO USE QUALITY MATERIAL ON THE REAR CONTROL ARM. THIS WAS ON THE FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. WHEN A REAR CONTROL ARM BREAKS BECAUSE OF FAULTY MATERIAL, SCIENTIFICALLY, WHAT HAPPENS 99.999999% OF THE TIME IS THE WHEEL FLIES OFF, THE DRIVER LOSES COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR, THE CAR SPINS A FEW TIMES, THE CAR GETS HIT BY A FEW OTHER CARS, THE CAR FLIPS OVER A FEW TIMES, AND THE DRIVER IS LEFT DEAD. HOW I DID NOT FALL INTO THAT SCIENTIFIC CALCULATION IS NOTHING LESS THAN AN ACT OF GOD. IF I DROVE ONE MORE MILE, THIS WOULD'VE PROBABLY OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN AN EXPERIENCE THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY TRAUMATIC TO MYSELF, AND I AM IN COMPLETE FEAR OF DRIVING ANY HONDA NOW. I HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE PARTS ON MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC, I HAVE REPLACED 2 SUN VISORS SO FAR AND TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE AND THE PASSENGERS IS ABOUT TO FAIL DUE TO THE NOISE IT MAKES, I SAW THE VERY PROBLEMS ON U-TUBES, THAT IS MY PROBLEM. I HAVE TO REMOVE IT BECAUSE IT KEEPS FALLING DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW BUT HAVE NO PROTECTION FROM SUN GLARE WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH ALMOST HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN IT FAILED, I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT IS RIDICULOUS I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SUN-VISOR EVERY YEAR. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC EX SUN VISOR BROKEN WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE CEILING OF THE CAR. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE HAD BOTH SUN VISORS REPLACED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. AFTER IT BREAKS, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT CAUSES A HUGE ISSUE WITH VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD. NOT SO MUCH DURING THE DAY BUT VERY MUCH AT NIGHT TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO DRIVE WITH IT AT NIGHT. *TR

HONDA CIVIC SUN VISORS, SPLIT, BREAK AND LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO STAY FIXED WHILE DRIVING. I'M IN NEED IN REPLACING MY 3RD SUN VISOR. THE VISORS ON THE HONDA CIVIC DROPS AND OBSTRUCTS A CLEAR VIEW WHEN DRIVING AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HONDA DEALERS TELL CONSUMERS THAT IT'S DUE TO HEAT IN THE AREA WHERE I LIVE, BUT THERE ARE MANY WEBSITES LISTING COMPLAINTS FROM WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO LIVE IN AN AREAS WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES. REGARDLESS OF WHERE ONE RESIDES, I AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR WITH FEAR THAT THE VISOR WILL DROP WITHOUT WARNING, STARTLE ME AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. HOW DOES ONE GET THROUGH TO THE HONDA MANUFACTURER THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RESOLVED, NOT JUST REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN AND DOES NOT REMAIN IN UP POSITION NOR REMAIN ON THE SIDE. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD AS IT BLOCKS AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VIEW, AND WILL HIT THE DRIVER WITH VEHICLE MOVEMENT. *TR

MY PAINT CRACKED ON MY HOOD, ROOF AND FENDERS. I DID HAVE BIRD POOP EAT THROUGH THE PAINT ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. I KNEW HONDA WOULDN'T COVER THE BIRD POOP BUT I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE CRACKS. HONDA SERVICE SAID THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE CRACKS FROM WHO KNOWS WHAT SO I HAD TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I HAD TO HAVE ALL THOSE PLACES ON MY CAR PAINTED. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PAINT AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME. I BELIEVE HONDA'S PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR'S PAINT BE SO SOFT AND OF POOR QUALITY. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR AND BELIEVE IF THE PAINT DOESN'T HOLD UP THEN RUST WILL ENSUE AND THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THE GUY AT THE BODY SHOP SAID THAT HE HAD TO REPAINT 4 HONDA VANS THAT HAVE THE BLUE PAINT BECAUSE THE PAINT WAS DEFECTIVE. I BELIEVE THE SILVER PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE BUYING THESE CARS AND BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO LAST A LONG TIME AND THEY ARE NOT. MY 1992 HONDA ACCORD'S PAINT HELD UP SO WHY ISN'T MY 2007 CIVIC DOING THE SAME? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

HONDA HAS INSTALLED FAULTY REAR CONTROL ARMS ON THEIR 2007 HONDA CIVICS. THEY WILL NOT RECALL THIS PART. THEY HAVE ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. THE DEFECTIVE PART CAUSES THE TIRES IN THE REAR TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND IN A CUPPING MANNER. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN KNOW TO BLOW OUT AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES. HONDA REPLACES THE PART BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THE REPAIR SHOPS WILL ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO LEAVE WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID - THE OEM REAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY WEARS THE INNER EDGE OF THE TIRES EXTREMELY QUICKLY. HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (08-001) IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING THE PROBLEM WITH REPLACEMENT UPPER CONTROL ARMS. THE DEALER/HONDA REFUSES TO COVER PARTS/LABOR CHARGES FOR CORRECTION ON A CAR THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IMPACTS SAFETY AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD CORRECT IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

8TH GENERATION HONDA CIVIC MODELS HAVE A COMMON PROBLEM OF SUN VISOR HINGE FAILURES THAT CAUSE THE VISOR TO ALWAYS STAY IN THE DOWN POSITION. THIS IS NOT SO MUCH OF A PROBLEM DURING THE DAY, BUT IT SEVERELY LIMITS THE SIGHT OF THE DRIVER AT NIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL 8TH GEN CIVICS, BUT HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR, OR TO RECALL THE VISOR. *TR

THE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE IT UP INTO THE PROPER CLOSED POSITION, BUT SINCE I PARK IN THE SUN, AND NEED TO USE A SUN SHADE, I NEED TO PUT DOWN THE SUN SHADE, THEN MUSCLE IT BACK INTO THE CLOSED POSITION AGAIN. THIS MORNING AS I PUT DOWN THE SHADE, I HEARD A LOUD CRACKING SOUND, AND SAW THAT THE SHADE IS FALLING APART NOW, WITH BROKEN PIECES OF PLASTIC NOW FALLING OUT OF THE SHADE. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. I HAVE A 100 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK, SO THE CAR WAS LONG OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, BASED ON MILEAGE, AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT MY COST, SO I WILL HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT MYSELF, AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL INITIATED BY HONDA FOR THIS EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE. *TR

MY 2006 CIVIC HYBRID SEDAN HAS HAD 4 SETS OF SUN VISORS PUT IN IT WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE SUN VISORS BREAK INTERNALLY AND WILL NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP OR DOWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VISORS HANG DOWN ABOUT THREE INCHES FROM THE FRONT ROOF LINE RIGHT IN THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VIEW. WHEN TRYING TO PLACE THE VISOR ALL THE WAY FORWARD IT DOES THE SAME THING AND HANGS ABOUT THREE INCHES DOWN IN THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VIEW. MY SUN VISOR FAILURES ALL HAPPENED DURING THE SUMMER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT OFFERED A FIX FOR THIS PART. *TR

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AT 16,500 DUE TO REAR CONTROL ARM DESIGN FLAW. HONDA ISSUED TSB 08-001. THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT ADMIT TO IT UNLESS PRESSED. I DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, CONFRONTED THEM AND FINALLY THEY "REPAIRED" REAR CONTROL ARM???? BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE MY WORN TIRES OR GIVE ME A TIRE ALIGNMENT. I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT MY EXPENSE AND NOW 4,000 MILES LATER , I HEAR EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE AND WONDER IF THE PROBLEM WAS EVER FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ROAD HAZARD. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED CORRECTLY AND COMPLETELY WITHOUT THE CUSTOMER BEING CHARGED OR HARASSED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND HIGHER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN VIBRATING AND MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE THERE WAS A BLISTER ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS TOO SHORT AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO BEND INWARD AND FORM A BLISTER. THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF $230.00. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS AND NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE OFFERED. THERE IS A CURRENT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD CONTINUE TO OCCUR AND RESULT IN THE REAR TIRES HAVING TO BE REPLACED CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 51,000. UPDATED 09/25/09 *BF UPDATED 09/29/09.*JB

I BOUGHT A NEW 07 HONDA CIVIC SI SEDAN. THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. IN FACT THEY ARE BUILT TO GIVE THE REAR TIRES MORE NEGATIVE CAMBER FOR BETTER TRACTION AROUND TURNS. IF I PUT TWO PEOPLE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR IT GIVES ME EVEN MORE NEGATIVE CAMBER AND WITH THAT MY I GO THROUGH TIRES QUICK. I HAVE EVEN NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH SNOW THE CAR WANTS TO CHANGE LANES BY ITSELF. I STILL HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PUT ADJUSTABLE CONTROL ARMS IN THE REAR LIKE THE OTHER CIVICS. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. I CAN SEE THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOME ONE WAS USING THIS AS A FAMILY CAR AND NEVER CHECKED THERE BACK TIRES. THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND BLOW OUTS. I HAVE TO ROTATE MY TIRES EVERY 2K MILES AND WE MOSTLY JUST DRIVE DOWN A STRAIGHT FREEWAY. *TR

BROKEN SUN VISORS IMPEDING DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS VIEW. LACK OF MOVEMENT OF INTERNAL BREAKING MECHANISM CAUSES VISOR TO CRACK AND SEPARATE. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS THEY TOLD ME THAT MY AIR COMPRESSOR WAS HIT BY ROAD DEBRIS AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. *TR

FAULTY SUN VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE ... HAS BROKE TWICE ... VISOR CAN NOT BE MOVED SO ALWAYS HANGING STRAIGHT DOWN ... CAN NOT SEE STREET LIGHTS ... HAVE TO SLIDE DOWN IN THE STREET TO SEE STOP SIGNS, ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE FRONT LEFT TIRE STRUCK A PIECE OF WOOD AND RUPTURED THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT A COST OF $640.00. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT DOES NOT FEEL THE REPAIR WILL REMEDY THE FAILURE SINCE THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE FAILED COMPONENT WITH A PLASTIC FUEL TANK WITHOUT A GUARD TO PROTECT THE FUEL TANK FROM ROAD DEBRIS OR RECURRING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,010.

WHEN I TOOK MY '07 CIVIC HYBRID TO MY DEALER IN MAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THEY TOLD ME ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN OUT TREADS. THE CAR ONLY HAD 18500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME, SO I WAS FLABBERGASTED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SUGGESTED I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TOO AGGRESSIVELY. WHILE RESEARCHING REPLACEMENT TIRES ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PREMATURE TIRE WEAR HAD HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER CIVIC OWNERS. IN FACT, HONDA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (008-001) FOR THIS BACK IN EARLY '08. 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. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, SHOWED THE ADVISOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN, AND GOT THE CONTROL ARMS FIXED. NOW WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST FIX THE CONTROL ARMS IN THE FIRST PLACE INSTEAD OF QUESTIONING THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING HABITS? SEEMS TO ME EITHER THE ADVISOR IS INCOMPETENT OR DISHONEST. I SUSPECT IT'S THE LATTER AS SHE MENTIONED THAT HONDA DOESN'T PAY THE DEALER MUCH TO COVER THE REPAIR. OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE OVER THIS ISSUE. LOOKS LIKE HONDA STUMBLED ON THIS ONE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN. THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAS SPLIT INTO TWO AND BROKEN OFF IT'S SUPPORT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING IT IN THIS CONDITION. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AT THE MANUFACTURES EXPENSE! *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC VISOR IS DEFECTIVE, SPLITS, FALLS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS DRIVER'S VIEW AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT. SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA REPLACED ONCE. NOW FAILED AGAIN. CLAIMS NOT UNDER WARRANTY-NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY 16 YR. OLD DAUGHTER WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE SHE IS DRIVING? PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL. OTHERWISE, I'LL BE REPLACING TWICE A YEAR FOREVER. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID ENGINE/HYBRID SYSTEM OPERATION HAS BECOME ERRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE. ADEQUATE POWER TO ACCELERATE, MERGE AND SAFELY OPERATE VEHICLE CAN SUDDENLY CUT OUT, LEAVING VEHICLE WITH UNACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE AND CREATING SAFETY HAZARD IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

SUN VISOR ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC CRACKING (DRIVER SIDE). *TR

THERE HAS BEEN UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, PARTICULARLY AT THE REAR OF OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC. EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THE FEATHERING OF THE TREAD RESEMBLED A TRACKING PROBLEM, BUT WE ALSO HAD WHEEL BEARING FAILURES. THREE WERE REPLACED OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. THE DEALER NEVER CHECKED THE TRACK DESPITE MY QUERIES. I NOW FIND THAT THERE IS A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN THAT WAS ISSUED REGARDING REAR SUSPENSION IN FEBRUARY 2008. THE DEALER STILL HASN'T ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM BEYOND SELLING US NEW TIRES AND ADJUSTING THE TRACK AND CHARGING US FOR THE FULL COST. THEY DID NOT PERFORM THE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS. *TR

I PULLED DOWN THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND A FEW SECONDS LATER MY HUSBAND PULLED DOWN HIS DRIVERS SIDE)VISOR IN OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX AND THEY BOTH CRACKED AND WOULDN'T GO BACK UP. THIS OBSTRUCTED OUR VIEW AND MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AND POSING A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC LX BECAME COMPLETELY DISABLED WHILE DRIVING. ON THE ROAD, THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT PRIOR ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER SERVICEMAN REPORTS A BOLT WAS SEVERED POSSIBLY FACTORY ERROR. DAMAGES INCURRED WERE BROKEN TIMING CHAIN, ROCKER ARM BOLT BROKEN, BROKEN HEAD AND MAJOR LEAKAGE. SERVICEMAN REPORTS ALL PARTS REPLACED, HOWEVER VEHICLE NO LONGER WORKS AT FULL CAPACITY. ENGINE/TRANSMISSION MAKES GRINDING NOISE. ADDITIONAL NOISES FROM REAR SUSPENSION ALSO. VEHICLE RETURNED FOR SERVICE 2X'S SINCE INCIDENT WITHOUT SUCCESS. CURRENT PROBLEMS, (NOISE AND SLUGGISHNESS) OCCUR AFTER VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR. CUSTOMER REQUESTED OLD PARTS AT TIME OF SERVICE, BUT WERE NOT GIVEN. SERVICEMAN STATED PARTS WERE RETURNED TO THE FACTORY FOR INSPECTION. *TR

BROKEN DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ON A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE BROKEN SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD BY LIMITING THE DRIVERS VISION OF THE ROAD. PLEASE GET HONDA TO RECALL AND REDESIGN THESE VISORS, THEY ARE TERRIBLE AND BREAK REPEATEDLY. *TR

THE REAR SUSPENSION / UPPER REAR CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE LEADING TO EXCESSIVE NEGATIVE REAR CAMBER. THIS CAUSED RAPID TIRE WEAR TO THE INSIDE EDGES AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IN WET CONDITIONS. HONDA HAS ISSUED A TSB (08-001) THAT COVERS THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY HAVE EXCLUDED THE SI MODEL IN THEIR TSB. I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED AND PARTS DIAGRAM SHOWING THE FAULTY UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THE CARS COVERED BY TSB 08-001 CARRY THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBER AS THOSE ON THE SI MODEL THAT IS EXCLUDED. LATER YEAR MODEL SI CARS HAVE A NEW DESIGN UPPER CONTROL ARM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. MY DEALER SAID THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER MY CAR UNDER THIS TSB ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM AND PARTS ARE IDENTICAL. *TR
