2007 Honda Civic complaints

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON MY 2007 HONDA HYBRID - PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO WEAR OUT EXCESSIVELY FAST ON THE INNER PORTION OF THE TIRE LEADING TO UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR PATTERNS. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC EX: UNEVEN TIRE WARE CAUSED BY REAR FIXED UPPER CONTROL ARMS. THE ALIGNMENT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE PROBLEM SHOWS UP WITH A ROARING NOISE FROM THE REAR TIRES. IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED, THEN SEVER TIRE DAMAGE MAY DEVELOP CAUSING A TIRE FAILURE, ACCIDENTS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, TETC. *TR

THE BACK TIRES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC WENT PREMATURELY BALD AND MY FAMILY WAS ALMOST KILLED ON A WET MOUNTAIN ROAD. THE BACK TIRES ONLY LAST 15,000 MILES ON THE NEWER CIVICS AND HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 07' CIVIC SI SEDAN. I HAD TO REPLACE MY REAR TIRES AS WELL. I TRIED TO HAVE THE REAR ALIGNMENT DONE, BUT THE REAR CONTROL ARM WERE OUT AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE DEALER STATED THERE IS A PROBLEM W/ THE ARMS BUT IT DID NOT COME OUT INCLUDING THE SI, ONLY THE LX & EX. I HOPE IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY INCLUDE THE SI. IT IS THE SAME PART #. *TR

AT LESS THAN 50K MILES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED ACTING ERRATIC. THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTROL, AS IN THEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION, THE DELAY FUNCTION WAS NOT WORKING, AND WOULD NOT TURN ON SOMETIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I COULD NOT SEE DUE TO RAIN, AND THE WIPERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND ALSO WHEN I COULD NOT CLEAN THE DIRT, SALT AND OTHER ROAD GUNK OFF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT WORK. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHARGED ME HUNDRED OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY, WHEN THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART TO BEGIN WITH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE WHICH WAS A LARGE SUV, WHO STOPPED SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHTS THE CONSUMER SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES. SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE, BUT IT DID NOT RESTRAIN HER PROPERLY. THE CONTACT'S BODY SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE DASHBOARD. THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT TORE AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND THE FLOOR. SHE INJURED HERSELF VERY BADLY AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE CONTACT'S BUMPER. SHE CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT WORKED PROPERLY. THE CRASH CAUSED THE SEAT BELT TO LOOSEN. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NO ONE WOULD COME OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD PICTURES AND SAW THE DAMAGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,042. UPDATED 3/13/09 *CN HONDA REFUSED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE SEAT BELT WORKED PROPERLY. THERE WAS NO POLICE AS THE OTHER VEHICLE LEFT THE SCENE AND GAVE THE CONSUMER FALSE INFORMATION. UPDATED 03/17/09. *JB

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID VERY UNSTABLE ON ICY ROAD CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN CYCLING BETWEEN ELECTRIC MOTOR, GAS ENGINE AND COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IF I DID NOT PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL THE CAR WOULD LURCH AND LOSE TRACTION WHEN CYCLING THROUGH DRIVE SYSTEMS. AS A SIDE BAR I HAD 4 NEW TIRES INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE ON JANUARY 14, 2009. 12 DAY PRIOR TO THE ICY ROAD CONDITIONS. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIRD GEAR ON MY '07 HONDA CIVIC SI COUPE IS BOTH FREQUENTLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ENGAGE (EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH SHIFT CHANGE) AND POPS OUT OF GEAR DURING DRIVING (TYPICALLY 2-3 TIMES AN HOUR DURING CONTINUOUS DRIVING). THIS POSES POTENTIAL DANGERS WHILE DRIVING AS THERE IS FAILURE IN THE APPLICATION OF POWER TO THE DRIVEN WHEELS, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN TO BE COMMON IN THE 6 SPEED SI TRANSMISSION. HONDA DENIES THE ISSUE, STATING THAT THE ENGAGEMENT PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY NOT FULLY DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH. I ALWAYS FULLY DEPRESS THE CLUTCH WHEN SHIFTING, HAVE DRIVEN MANUALLY TRANSMISSION VEHICLES FOR 41 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY VEHICLE, LET ALONE A GEARSHIFT WHICH POPS OUT OF GEAR DURING NORMAL DRIVING). THE FAILURE TO ENGAGE IS PROBABLY MORE AN ANNOYANCE THAN AN ISSUE, HOWEVER THE POPPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING IS A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD AND RISK; FOR EXAMPLE, IF ONE IS CORNERING ON SNOW COVERED OR WET PAVEMENT, THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE DRIVEN WHEELS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF COURSE AND RESULT IN A CRASH. THE UNFORTUNATE DRIVER WHO DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE THE LOSS OF POWER TRANSMISSION, OR WHAT TO DO TO RECOVER, IS CERTAINLY PLACED IN A HIGHLY COMPROMISED POSITION, TO SAY THE LEAST, AND AT WORST MAY FIND HIM OR HERSELF IN A VEHICLE WHICH IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY HONDA TO EITHER ACKNOWLEDGE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE ISSUE HAS EXISTED

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHERE IT FEELS LIKE THE BACK END OF THE CAR IS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ALSO HAS EXTREMELY LOUD TIRE NOISE. TIRES HAVE EXCESSIVE WEAR. DEALER SAID I JUST NEED NEW TIRES, AND WHEN SEARCHING FOR NEW TIRES ON INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

3RD GEAR POPS OUT DURING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATIONS. THE GEAR POPS OUT REGARDLESS OF RPM, SPEED OF TRAVEL, OR IF THE GEAR IS ACTUALLY PUSHED IN ALL THE WAY. *TR

I AM HAVING REAR SUSPENSION ARM CONTROL ISSUES WITH MY HONDA I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IT NOW HAS UNDER 30,000 AND NEEDS THE REAR ARM CONTROLS REPLACED, THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER CIVIC'S BUT NOT ON MINE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION, AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A ANSWER BACK FROM THEM. I HAVE LOOKED ON LIKE TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER CIVIC SI OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM NOT ONLY HAVING TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART, BUT TO REPLACE TIRES MULTIPLE TIME!... *TR

EXTREMELY SEVERE TIRE WARE ON REAR TIRES OF 2007 HONDA CIVIC, 12,000 MILES AND THE REAR TIRES ARE WORN TO THE BELTS ON INSIDE EDGE. REAR ALIGNMENT APPEARS TO BE WRONG FROM THE FACTORY. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AMERICAN HONDA THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR CONTROL ARMS. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC SI ~15700 MILES AIR CONDITIONER FAILED DUE TO "DAMAGE TO THE CONDENSER BY ROAD DEBRIS" THOUGH CAR IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, HONDA WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS A FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH A DESIGN DEFECT OF THE CAR. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE IN AUGUST 2007. I NOTICED A LOUD VIBRATION/THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR AT AROUND 15K MILES. I KEPT AN EYE OUT AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM NOW AT 25K MILES AND I JUST HAD TO GET MY TWO REAR TIRES REPLACED DUE TO SEVER CUPPING AND UNEVEN TREAD WEAR ON THE TIRES. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CIVICS IN REGARDS TO UNEVEN OR RAPID REAR TIRE WEAR AND ALSO FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM HONDA ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS. I REALIZE THAT THE FACTORY TIRES THAT ARE PUT ON NEW CARS ARE NOT THE BEST TIRES BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SO SEVERELY CUPPED AND WORN AT 25K MILES. I SPENT $400 ON TWO NEW TIRES THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I AM AFRAID AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 20-25K MILES IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I BELIEVE IT IS HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON TIRES THAT ARE SEVERELY CUPPED AND UNEVEN. PLEASE HELP IN DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS AS MUCH ABOUT SAFETY AS IT IS FORKING OVER THE MONEY TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY 25K MILES. *TR

I WAS EXPERIENCING LOUD ROAD NOISE FROM THE TRUNK AREA AS WELL AS UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON BOTH REAR TIRES. THIS VEHICLE HAS 36250 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE AND TIRE WEAR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A ROOT CAUSE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE CIVIC, BUT THEY HAVE NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH-COST REPAIRS AND NEW TIRES. *TR

HAD A CAR ACCIDENT 11/07 SINCE THAT ACCIDENT & REPAIR THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON,AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY,NO MATTER WHAT I M DOING IN THE CAR THE LIGHT TENDS TO POP ON & OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER THAT DID THE REPAIRS BUT IT IS STILL A CONSTANT PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE CONTACT THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. BUT NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT OTHER THAN A PHONE CALL. *TR

2007 CIVIC SI SEDAN W/ PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM: ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, AND THE RADIO IS TURNED, ALL SPEAKERS EMIT A BUZZING SOUND, WHETHER THE VOLUME OF THE RADIO IS ALL THE WAY DOWN OR CASUALLY LISTENING. YOU CAN HEAR THE BUZZING SOUND AND IT ITS VERY UNPLEASANT. IT OCCURS ALL THE TIME THE CAR IS ON AND DRIVING, OR IDLING. WHEN TO DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE HONDA HAS NOT RELEASED A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 36600 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE 3RD GEAR SYNCRO ISSUE SINCE SUMMER 2008 (I BOUGHT THE CAR 2/2/08. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THE OTHER DAY TO HAVE THEM ADDRESS THE 3RD GEAR SYNCRO ISSUE AFTER THEY TOOK THE CAR APART THEY TOLD ME MY CLUTCH PLATE WAS SEVERELY WARN DOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS CAUSED FROM THE 3RD SYNCHRO AND I WAS TOLD "NO" BUT I HAVE BEEN READING THAT IT IS A DIRECT RESULT. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH HONDA AND THEY NEED TO INCLUDE ALL THE GEARS SYNCHROS AND THE CLUTCH IN THE TSB. ALSO THE TIRES WEAR ON INSIDE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SI WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TSB BECAUSE IT HAS A DIFFERENT SUSPENSION. *TR

2006 THROUGH CURRENT HONDA CIVIC SI HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE INABILITY TO ADJUST THE REAR CAMBER OF THE TIRES. NORMALLY WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN 2,000 AND UP MILES THE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WEAR TO THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES THAT GOES UNDETECTED UNTIL A BLOW OUT OF THE TIRE OCCURS. THE FAULT LIES IN THE REAR CONTROL ARM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CAMBER ADJUSTMENTS OF THE TIRES. HONDA SELLS THESE VEHICLES NEW WITH THE SUSPENSION AS IS. THE OWNERS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET HONDA AND THE DEALERS WHO SOLD THE CARS TO MAKE GOOD ON A REPAIR THAT COST UPWARDS OF OVER $800.00. THEY WONT. HAVING BEEN AN ARMY ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR MY CONCERN LIES IN THE FAILURE OF THE CONTROL ARM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CAMBER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE REAR TIRES. CURRENTLY THE REAR TIRE OR TIRES ARE ALLOWED TO RUB AGAINST THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM CAUSING A BLOW OUT OF THE REAR TIRE (S) CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND A SUBSEQUENT CRASH. THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM COULD BE REMEDIED BY THE RECALL OF SI VERSION CIVICS FOR INSTALLATION OF AN ADJUSTABLE REAR CONTROL ARM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING ORIGINAL CIVICS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY HONDA TO CORRECT OR EXAMINE THIS PROBLEM. THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS INCIDENTS OR FATALITIES I DO NOT BELIEVE HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED OR REPORTED. BUYERS OF THESE VEHICLES, INSURANCE AGENTS AS WELL AS ACCIDENT INVESTIGATORS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT MIGHT JUST SAVE A LIFE OR TWO. I BELIEVE THAT A DATA BASE FOR ALL CIVICS INVOLVED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

EXCESSIVE AND PREMATURE REAR TIRE WEAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS. *TR

GRAY PAINT ON A 2007 CIVIC FLAKING OFF THE BUMPER AND HOOD. *TR

I COLLIDED WITH AN SUV. BOTH CARS WERE PROCEEDING FROM A FULL STOP AND PROBABLY WEREN'T DOING MORE THAN 15 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, IT WAS SO SLOW THAT IF THERE HAD BEEN A PASSENGER THE BAG WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY USELESS. ALTHOUGH THE OTHER DRIVER'S INSURANCE PAID FOR THE REPAIR, THE COST OF MY REPAIR ALONE CAME TO SOME 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS, I'M TOLD MOSTLY DUE TO THE COST OF THE AIR BAG. WHAT'S THE POINT OF A USELESS AIR-BAG THAT COSTS THE EARTH TO REPAIR AND DEPLOYS SO SLOWLY AS TO DO NOTHING TO PREVENT INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE SAFETY SPLASH SHIELDS THAT PROTECT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE DETACHED AND WERE DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. THE SPLASH SHIELDS WERE DESTROYED AND REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH A SECOND SHIELD AND IT WAS REPLACED AS WELL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS DUE TO STRIKING BUMPS ON THE GROUND WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM TO BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 01/14/09. *LJ UPDATED 01/15/09. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2007. A FEW MONTHS LATER, HE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR WITHOUT IT MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSIVE AT TIMES AND INTERMITTENTLY HE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF THE ROTOR FAILED IT COULD CAUSE A CRASH. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THE FAILURE AND IT IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,800.

CAR: HONDA 2007 CIVIC SI COMPLAINT: CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY. EXCESSIVE INNER TIRE WEAR ON REAR WHEELS EATS TIRES TO THE THREADS. TIRE MUST BE INSPECTED CLOSELY SINCE MOST OF IT WILL APPEAR WITH PLENTY OF TREAD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA HAS ALREADY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON MANY 2006/2007 CIVIC (BUT THIS EXCLUDES THE SI). THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL ON THE SI BUT HONDA WILL NOT COVER IT AS A DEFECT. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 CIVIC SI. *TR

PREMATURE TIRE WEAR LEADING TO LOUD REAR AXLE NOISE, AND TIRE FAILURE. FIRST SET OF TIRES FAILED AFTER 14000 ODOMETER MILES. SECOND SET AT 37000 ODOMETER MILES. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE IS DEFECTIVE WELD IN THE CONTROL ARMS. *TR

ME AND MY FIANCE PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI. THIS IS THE SECOND 07 SI WE HAVE OWNED. ON BOTH OF THE CIVICS I HAD THAT PROBLEM WITH 3RD GEAR POPPING OUT AND ALSO GRINDS SOMETIMES GOING INTO 3RD. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE CAR STARTED DRIVING FUNNY, AND THE REAR END WAS SLIGHTLY MOVING SIDE TO SIDE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CHECKED AND NOTICED THE TIRES WERE ALMOST GONE IN THE REAR. WITH ONLY 22000 MILES THE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE WEARING DOWN SO ALL OF THE WIRES ARE SHOWING IN THE TIRE. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. I ALREADY KNEW THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF, BUT I JUST FELT LIKE SOMETHING ELSE WAS WRONG. I CALLED MY DAD AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON. A COUPLE DAYS LATER HE FOUND A WHOLE BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2006-2007 CIVICS, WITH EXCESSIVE WEARING OF THE BACK TIRES. IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS CAUSED BY BAD CONTROL ARMS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT HONDA HAS MADE A BULLETIN OF THIS, BUT HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. I CALLED THE MANAGER TO WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, AND TOLD HIM THAT MY TIRES WE WORE DOWN TO THE WIRES. ACCORDING TO HIM HE CONSIDERED THAT NORMAL WEAR. NOW THAT I KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM, I GOT IN CONTACT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO IS LOOKING AT MY CAR ON MONDAY. I HAVE PRINTED OFF ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THE PICS OF THEIR TIRES SO I CAN SHOW HIM. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS ABOUT THE CAR I WOULD HAVE NOT PURCHASED IT. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED HONDA\'S, BUT I AM NOT VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS 07

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH IN SNOW AND ICY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND FELT A VIBRATION WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. SUDDENLY, THE FRONT END AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SKID. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURS ONLY WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW AND ICY ROADS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE FAILURE. THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED WHEN BRAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I PURCHASED NEW 2007 CIVIC IN NOVEMBER 2006, GOT A RECALL FOR REAR BEARING POSSIBLY NEEDING CHANGING DEC 2007, I ALSO NOTICED THE INSIDE OF MY REAR TIRES WEARING, SO WHILE WARRANTY WORK WAS DONE JAN 2007, I HAD CAR ALIGNED, I DID NOT PAY MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL THIS WEEK 12/3, AND I NOTICED MY RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS "SLICK" WOW, AND MORE VWOW, I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO DEALER, POINTED OUT WHAT WE HAD DONE IN JANUARY, AND HAD THEM LOOK AT TIRES: 2 FRONT TIRES HAD LOTS OF TREAD, LEFT REAR WAS ALMOST "SLICK" RIGHT REAR IS "SLICK"... THEY TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS A "BULLETIN" OUT, NOT RECALL TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THE REAR OF THE CAR, NO COST, FREE ALIGNMENT, BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR 2 NEW TIRE, AT THEIR "COST" $258 WITH TAX.....I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED HONDA DID NOT AT LEAST SEND ME A NOTE EVEN A EMAIL ALERTING ME TO THE FIX....WHEN THEY KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.....BRIDGESTONE TIRE WILL LOVE IT....I THING HONDA SHOW COME CLEAN ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND PAY FOR FIX AND PRORATED WEAR ON MY TIRES.......*TR

ROARING SOUND FROM REAR OF VEHICLE (SOUNDS LIKE I'M DRIVING ON 4X4 TIRES)!. FIRESTONE DEALER SAYS BOTH REAR TIRES ARE HEAVILY 'CUPPED'. THIS PROBLEM BECAME NOTICEABLE AT APPROXIMATELY 18K MILES. THE REAR TIRE NOISE IS SO LOUD NOW, THAT I CANNOT HEAR MY ENGINE RUNNING WHILE UNDERWAY. APPROXIMATELY 50% TREADWEAR. *TR

CONSUMER HAD ISSUES WITH THE SERVICE ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. *NJ THE CONSUMER HEARD A ROTATING CHIMING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR TIRES THAT HAD FLAT SPOTS DUE TO IMPROPER TIRE PRESSURE OR PANIC STOPS. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS TOLD A TSB HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE REAR CONTROL ARMS. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE NOISE WOULD CONTINUE UNTIL THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. *JB

I TOOK MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID IN FOR A SERVICE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IT HAD JUST OVER 21000 MILES ON IT AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES DUE TO UNEVEN WARE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CIVIC SI WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES ON IT. ISSUE: 3RD GEAR HARD TO ENGAGE. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEN 3RD GEAR DOES NOT ENGAGE I HAVE TO GO TO 2ND OR 4TH GEAR, THAT CAUSES VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN DURING MERGING. COMPLAINT TO DEALERSHIP TWICE. FIRST TIME TRANSMISSION OIL REPLACED BUT DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. 2ND TIME DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THESE FAULTY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

NOTICED UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATION ON MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, AND NOTIFIED HONDA SERVICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE CAR FOR OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE WORN, AND THIS WAS DUE TO REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEM. HONDA WOULD COVER THE COST OF THAT FIX, BUT I ALSO NEEDED FOUR NEW TIRES -- NOT COVERED BY HONDA. HE OFFERED TO MOVE THE REAR TIRES UP FRONT AND JUST FOCUS ON THE REAR ($280 FOR TWO TIRES). AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE AND FINDING THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED LAST SPRING, I DECLINED TO HAVE TWO WORN TIRES WITH EVIDENCE OF CUPPING PUT ON THE FRONT OF A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR. I ASKED WHY I HADN'T BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS DESIGN FLAW WHEN I HAD BROUGHT IN THE CAR FOR A PRE-ROADTRIP CHECK IN JULY (HE SAID IF I DID NOT TELL HIM TO LOOK FOR REAR TIRE WEAR THEY WOULDN'T LOOK) OR WHY HE DIDN'T NOTE IT TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN BECAUSE THE A/C HAD FAILED ON THE TRIP (ANOTHER KNOWN DEFECT, I NOW REALIZE). THE CAR ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRIC SWITCHING IRREGULARITY, WHICH HAS YET TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE SERVICE REP SAID UNLESS I SPECIFICALLY ASK, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION ISSUE -- EVEN THOUGH THERE HAD BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN -- BECAUSE "NOT EVERY CIVIC HAS THE PROBLEM." I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT AT 15,600 MILES (WHERE IT WAS IN JULY) THAT THE TIRES DID NOT THEN HAVE SIGNS OF UNEVEN WEAR THAT NOW HAS NECESSITATED TIRE REPLACEMENT AT 19,000 MILES. I REPLACED TWO TIRES, ONE

I WAS SHIFTING EASILY FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AT 15-18MPH AND APPROXIMATELY 3K RPM. MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT THAT TIME, AND I LOST POWER-- NEARLY CREATING AN ACCIDENT. THE FAILURE INVOLVED BROKEN TEETH OF THE COUNTERSHAFT AND FINAL (RING) GEAR. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED PREVIOUSLY IN MANY INTERNET FORUMS, BUT PERHAPS NOT FORMALLY. HONDA SHOULD HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT MODELS EXPERIENCING SUCH FAILURE, REPRESENTED BY THE NUMBER OF TRANSMISSIONS / COUNTERSHAFT / FINAL DRIVE GEARS SOLD BY THEIR PARTS DISTRIBUTOR. AS A PHYSICIAN, I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY & ROAD HAZARDS FROM THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE-- RAYMOND BERNAL, M.D. *TR

HELLO, I BOUGHT THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC BRAND NEW. THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH SIDES BUSTED WITHIN 2 MONTHS. THERE WAS NO UNUSUAL PRESSURE OR USE. GIVEN THE NUMBERED COMPLAINTS. I THOUGHT THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED. WE MUST HAVE HONDA RESOLVE THE ISSUE DEFINITIVELY AND QUICKLY. BOTH FOR THE ONGOING SAFETY AND THE INEXPLICABLE RESIDUAL COST TO THE CONSUMER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT OUR RIGHTS AND RECOURSE ARE. PLEASE REFERENCE THIS INTERNET LINK IN REGARDS TO THE EXTEND OF THE PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.USRECALLNEWS.COM/2007/09/MAJOR-HONDA-CIVIC-RECALL-OF-2006-AND-2007-MODELS.HTML THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, SHARON GOH *TR

I HAD MY 2007 CIVIC HYBRID IN FOR SERVICE LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE PARTS SUBJECT TO A RECALL THAT AFFECTED THE TIRE WEAR AND THE RIDE. THE RECALLED PARTS, REAR SUSPENSION, AND THE INSTALLATION WERE COVERED BY HONDA, BUT THE EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR WAS NOT. MIKE (SERVICE) CHECKED WITH HONDA WHO SAID THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR 30% OF THE NEW TIRES, SO I WOULD STILL BE OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT 1) HONDA WOULD HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND BAD PERFORMANCE, BUT NOT NOTIFY THE OWNERS TO BRING THEIR CARS IN; AND 2) THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS FAULTY PART CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE TIRES, AND THAT HONDA WOULD NOT PAY FOR NEW TIRES. I NOW HAVE TO GET NEW TIRES AT 29,000 MILES WHICH I FEEL IS IN APPROPRIATE. FINALLY, I HAVE RESEARCHED THE APPROPRIATE TIRES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE ARE MANY CHOICES WELL UNDER $100 PER TIRE, AND FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT MY REPLACEMENT TIRES WOULD COST $100 + PER TIRE, PLUS INSTALLATION, BALANCING ETC., IS TOO COSTLY. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TREATED FAIRLY AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. WHEN A DEFECTIVE PART IS NOT COMMUNICATED TO THE OWNER WHO COULD BRING THE CAR IN TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE THE TIRES WERE TOTALLY DAMAGED, THAT IS THE FAULT OF HONDA. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE TIRES HAVE UNEVEN WEAR CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE CONTROL ARMS. *NJ THE MANUFACTURER WAS WILLING TO REPLACE THE REAR CONTROL ARMS, BUT NOT THE TIRES. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE CONTACT FELT THE BRAKES LOCK. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FORCED OUT OF HIS HANDS. THE CONTACT STRUCK A CURB AND DROVE INTO THE LIVING ROOM OF SOMEONE'S RESIDENCE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS FAILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE HONDA MANUFACTURER AND THEY DISPATCHED AN ADJUSTER AND AN ENGINEER, WHO BOTH STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 19,500.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 CIVIC HYBRID. WHEN ITS WARM OUT AND / OR I HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE CAR THE HYBRID SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR LOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. A FEW TIMES I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR HAD SO LITTLE POWER THAT ALL I COULD DO WAS PULL INTO THE PATH OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND NOT ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HAS A REFLECTION OF THE DASH BOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A DISTRACTION. THE CONSUMER STATED DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE SUN, THERE WAS A REFLECTION THAT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *JB

THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX MODEL IS MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND CRACKS OPEN IF YOU HAPPEN TO PULL IT DOWN AND PUT IT BACK UP FREQUENTLY. ONCE IT CRACKS OPEN IT WILL NOT STAY UP AGAIN AND HANGS LOOSE DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. IT HANGS DOWN AND VERY ANNOYING WHILE DRIVING AS FRONT VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED BECAUSE OF LOOSE HANGING VISOR. MY CAR IS JUST ONE AND HALF YEAR OLD AND IT HAS ALREADY CRACKED OPEN TWICE. LAST TIME WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED IT SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY IT CRACKED OPEN IN JUST COUPLE MONTHS. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED IT WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AS PEOPLE CAN NOT GO ON BUYING AND REPLACING THE VISOR EVERY MONTH AND IN THE ABSENCE MAY GET INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO VISION GETTING BLOCKED WITH VISOR. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC (CURRENTLY 42,000 MILES) HAS A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING. THE SOUND HAS BECOME WORSE AS THE MORE MILES I DRIVE. WHEN THE REAR TIRES ARE RUBBED ACROSS, FLAT SPOTS ON THE TIRES CAN BE FELT. HONDA WROTE A REPAIR FORUM STATING THAT THE CAUSE OF THIS IS THE IMPROPER DESIGN OF THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS. THESE ARMS ARE TOO SHORT CAUSING THE CAMBER OF THE WHEELS TO BE INCORRECT. I HAVE CALLED HONDA CORPORATION AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND HAVE CONTACTED OURISMAN HONDA OF LAUREL (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) AT LEAST 5 TIMES. NEITHER ONE HAS BEEN OF ANY HELP. TOM ALEXANDER (SERVICE MANAGER) FROM OURISMAN HONDA OF LAUREL HAS NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALLS. HE TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (PAST 36,000 MILES) THEN HE WOULD LOOK AT MY CASE AS GOODWILL (AS IN HE LOOKED AT MY SERVICE HISTORY LIKE OIL CHANGES AND SUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL BASE HIS DECISION ON REPLACEMENT AT NO COST ON THIS, RIDICULOUS). I WANT MY REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED WITH NO COST SINCE THE PART WAS INCORRECTLY DESIGNED. *TR

EXCESSIVE TEAR WIRE, CAR PURCHASED IN MARCH 2007, NEEDED NEW REAR TIRES, AFTER ONLY 18,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2007 CIVIC HYBRID IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE IMA. AS I AM DRIVING, THE BATTERY CHARGE WILL BE REDUCED TO ZERO OR ONE BARS. I DRIVE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND NORMALLY DO NOT EXCEED 55 MPH. THIS NORMALLY OCCURS WITHIN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING MY CAR. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP. THE CAR ACCELERATES EXTREMELY SLUGGISHLY AND THE RPM'S REACH AROUND 4500 TO APPROACH THE SPEED LIMIT (50 MPH). GAS MILEAGE WHEN THIS OCCURS DROPS TO ABOUT 20-25 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO GET THIS REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND HAS MADE MINIMAL ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND REPAIR THE CAR. THE ONLY REPAIR ATTEMPT MADE WAS TO RESET THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. THIS HAS ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING. THIS COULD BECOME A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OR WHEN TRYING TO MERGE. *TR

HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, CAR WAS WORKING FINE AT PURCHASE, ONCE THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FREQUENTLY EVER SINCE. THE MALFUNCTION MOSTLY OCCURS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED IS THE HOT SUN, ONCE ENGINE IS STARTED WITHIN 3-10 MINUTES ENGINE WILL RUN ROUGH, THE IMA SYSTEM (INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST) WILL START CHARGING THE IMA BATTERY (158 VOLT NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY) THEN SUDDENLY EMPTY THE COMPLETE CHARGE OF THE IMA BATTERY WITHIN 10 SECONDS. WHILE THE IMA SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING WHICH IS USUALLY 5-20 MINUTES THE BRAKING IS SEVERELY AFFECTED; WHEN LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN, IT FEELS LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON AND BRAKING FORCE IS GREATLY REDUCED. ALSO, WHILE THE IMA SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING, THE IMA ASSIST ELECTRIC MOTOR STOPS WORKING AND THE ACCELERATION IS SEVERELY REDUCED TO THE POINT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE WITH THE TRAFFIC, IF YOU HAD TO ACCELERATE IN A HURRY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WHILE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK DURING THE WARMER MONTHS, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. ALSO, SINCE THIS MALFUNCTION HAS STARTED THE GAS MILEAGE HAS SEVERELY DROPPED. CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY CIVIC HYBRIDS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA IS NOT CURRENTLY ADDRESSING THIS. THIS MALFUNCTION MAKES THIS CAR AN UNSAFE HAZARD TO DRIVE.*TR

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX STARTED TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THERE WAS AN INCREDIBLY LOUD "HOWLING" NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK TIRES. I TOOK IT IN REPEATEDLY AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TIRES WERE FINE, AND THAT ESSENTIALLY I WAS IMAGINING THIS PROBLEM AND OR BLOWING IT OUT OF PROPORTION. IT WAS ONLY RECENTLY THAT I LEARNED OF HONDA'S SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 FOR UNEVEN AND OR RAPID TIRE WEAR. WITH INFORMATION IN HAND, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO WHICH THEY ACTED LIKE THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE BULLETIN. AFTER KEEPING MY CAR FOR THE DAY, THEY SAID IN THE FIRST CALL THAT IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF ROTATION (EVEN THOUGH) I ROTATE EVERY 10K ,THEN THEY CALL BACK AND SAY THAT MY BACK TWO TIRES ARE WORN-OUT; BUT THE WEAR IS NOT COMPARABLE TO THE WEAR THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THE BULLETIN. THEY THEN PROCEED TO TELL ME THAT IT IS TYPICAL TO HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR TIRES EVERY 30-40K MILES. I HAVE OWNED 7 HONDAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE TIRES THAT SOON. IT IS JUST AMAZING TO ME THAT I HAVE DETAILED EVERY SYMPTOM IN THAT BULLETIN, PRIOR TO EVEN KNOWING THAT IT EXISTED AND THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM. I AM TAKING IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVED FROM PARK INTO NEUTRAL. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE RPM'S RACED TO AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH RATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,900 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

I LEASED A 07 HONDA CIVIC; I AM HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO A WATER LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES WERE COVERED BY MFG WARRANTY. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE IS BEING ATTRIBUTED TO HIGH STANDING WATER AND IS NOT COVERED. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE WAS IN 08/07, 5 MONTHS AFTER I LEASED THE VEHICLE. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND AT THAT TIME, THE CARPETING AND PADDING WAS REPLACED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS IN 07/08 THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT WAS THE VEHICLE WAS IN HIGH STANDING WATER. ADDITIONAL TESTS WERE RUN AND LEAKS WERE FOUND AND REPAIRED. THE CARPETING AND THE PADDING WERE REPLACED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS IN 9/08. THE SAME REASON WAS USED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN HIGH STANDING WATER. THIS OCCURRENCE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY MFG WARRANTY. I AM WORKING WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. MY COMPLAINT IS IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HISTORICAL ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKING. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED AND REPAIRED SOME OF THE ISSUES. THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND NOW IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. I AM ON MY OWN AND HONDA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE AND MY INSURANCE RATES WILL INCREASE AS A RESULT OF THIS CLAIM. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I AM TO DO THE NEXT TIME IT RAINS HARD AND THE FLOORBOARD OF MY VEHICLE IS SOAKED AGAIN. *TR

REAR TIRE NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM 25,000 MILES ON. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWS FLAT SPOTS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND HONDA SERVICE RELATED THAT THERE WAS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM WHICH THEY REPLACED FOR FREE. HOWEVER THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE OR EVEN PRORATE TIRE WEAR STATING THAT 30K MILES WARRANTED NO REPLACEMENT. FRONT TIRES SHOW NO WEAR AT ALL. THE TIRES HAVE WORN TO A UNSAFE LEVEL AND HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SERVICE RELATED PROBLEM FOR MONTHS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA ON RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
