2007 Honda Civic complaints

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. HONDA WON'T REPLACE THE BAD CONTROL ARMS BECAUSE I PUT ON SNOW TIRES AND THEY SAID THAT VOIDS ANY WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE, I'VE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES NOW. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY ANYTIME I GO OVER 50 MPH. BRAKES HAVE ISSUES. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE NEW IN MAY OF 2007. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND SUBSEQUENT RECALL FOR THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS THAT CAUSED SEVERE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATION. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE FIX DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND MAKING IT RIGHT. THE REPLACEMENT ARMS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LATITUDE IN THE ADJUSTMENT IN CAMBER. THERE ARE AFTER MARKET FIXES FOR THIS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TIRE WEAR AND SUBSEQUENT HANDLING WHILE DRIVING ARE A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. THIS MAY ALSO BE CAUSE FOR A NEW CLASS ACTION SUIT, AS THE ORIGINAL "FIX" WAS NOT A FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SEAT BELT WEBBING WAS NOT STITCHED OR BOLTED TO THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED BUT THE SPECIFICS OF THE REPAIRS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 03/17/15*LJ UPDATED 6/19/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FRACTURED WITHIN THE TRACK OF THE DOOR AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE.

EARLY 2014 WE APPROACHED HONDA OF COLUMBIA, THE PURCHASE POINT OF THIS CAR, ABOUT THE FACTORY PAINT FLAKING AND COMING OFF. HONDA SAYS WE HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR REPAINTED AND SHOW THEM THE RECEIPT BEFORE THEY WILL HELP OFFER FINANCIAL HELP. THAT COSTS US $4000+ OUT OF OUR POCKET AND THEN THEY MAY SUBSIDIZE THE COST. THIS CAR MISSES THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE PAINTING BY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HER CAR HAS BEEN WELL KEPT BUT NOT GARAGED. INDEPENDENT PAINT SHOPS CONFIRM THAT IT IS A FAULT W/ THE ORIGINAL PAINTING PROCESS. NEARLY THE WHOLE TOP/FLAT SURFACES OF THE CAR ARE IN QUESTION: SPOILER, ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD, FENDERS AND ALL OTHER HORIZONTAL SURFACES ARE AFFECTED. THE VERTICAL PORTIONS ARE IN ACCEPTABLE SHAPE. THE LOCAL DEALER HONDA OF COLUMBIA, S.C. SAYS THIS CAR DOESN'T FALL INTO THE FACTORY RECALL CRITERIA BECAUSE IT IS AN '07 AND THEY ONLY QUALIFIED UP TO '06. ONE OF THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPS ASSURED US THEY IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT EVEN THE COLOR WAS ONE LISTED ALONG W/ THE OTHER CAR COLORS. NOT HONDA OF COLUMBIA DENIES THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE REPAINTED BEFORE THEY WILL HELP PAY, BUT NOW ONLY OFFER $1000 TO SUBSIDIZE THE COST AND STILL WONT TELL ME HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL HONDA OF AMERICA SERVICE FOLKS AND TALK TO THEM THEY HAVE YET TO ANSWER A CALL. THERE IS NO ANSWER OF ANY KIND SO I AM UNABLE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. WHAT SHOULD I DO... *TR

ELDERLY MOTHER DRIVES THIS CAR. SHE DRIVES SLOW AND KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT CARS. I BORROWED HER CAR TO FIND IT VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY FROM THE REAR WITH LOUD TIRE NOISE FROM THE REAR AS WELL. FOUND SCALLOPED REAR TIRES IN POOR, DANGEROUS CONDITION. REPLACED TIRES THINKING THEY WERE FAULTY TIRES. PROBLEM RECURRED ONLY SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. REPLACED TIRES AGAIN, DIFFERENT BRAND AND HAD THE REAR SUSPENSION WORKED ON PER HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN. PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND WE MUST KEEP REPLACING THE TIRES. I'M TIRED OF SEEING MY MOM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND CONTINUOUSLY SPENDING MONEY ON PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I'M SCARED THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT. IF THE TIRES BLOW OUT, MY MOTHER MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. YES, THIS "WILL" CAUSE ME TO FILE A LAWSUIT ON HONDA BECAUSE THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS TELL ME SO. WE COULD SELL THE CAR BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT BE IN DANGER OF BLOW OUTS. HONDA SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT...AT THEIR COST.... BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CIVIC 2007 ON A RAMP GOING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER, WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND STARTED SMOKING. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL IT STOPPED AND STARTED SMOKING. TURNS OUT THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED CREATING OVERHEATING. THE OVERHEATING CAUSED OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE TO MELT, THE SPARK PLUGS, OIL DIPSTICK, HEAD IS WARPED. *JS

WHILE DRIVING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THEN WHEN THEY FINALLY DID SHUT OFF THEY WERE PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. THEY ALSO HAVE TURNED ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ALL WEEK AND IT'S BEEN RAINING. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR WHICH COST $400. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS AND IT SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL AS IT'S UNSAFE. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR IS HAZING AND THE CLEAR COAT IS PEELING. THE HOOD OF MY CAR ALSO HAS WHITE SPOTS. HONDA GARAGE IN MOON TWP., PA WILL ONLY PAY HALF OF THE COST TO PAINT THE ROOF OF MY CAR. THEY SAID THERE WAS A "GOODWILL RECALL" THAT ENDED IN SEPT 2014, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED ONCE A YEAR ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE VIN NUMBER ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2007 CIVIC COUPE DOES NOT BRING UP A RECALL TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. WHY? DOES THIS MEAN THAT THERE IS NO DANGER OF METAL SHARDS EXPLODING OUT OF THE AIRBAG? I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA'S CONSUMER INFORMATION DEPT. THEY CHECKED MY VIN AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NO AIRBAG RECALL. I ASKED WHY THERE WAS NO RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA DOES NOT ALWAYS PUT THE SAME BRAND OF AIRBAG IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. IS THIS TRUE? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 08/31/13 AND BEGAN HEARING A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS AND NOW I'M SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE WHEEL BEARINGS. I THINK MY CAR WASN'T PROPERLY FIXED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THIS CIVIC IS GALAXY GREY. THE ROOF AND TRUNK PAINT HAS BEGUN TO CLOUD, FADE, CRACK, AND PEEL. WHILE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, IT WILL AFFECT THE RESALE VALUE OF THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR AIR BAGS ERRONEOUSLY DEPLOYED CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

AFTER ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, BY MY MECHANIC, AN OIL LEAK WAS NOTED. AFTER CLOSE INSPECTION ON A LIFT IT TURNED OUT TO BE SMALL FISSURES IN OIL PAN METAL(ALUMINUM). THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED, AND NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE METAL IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS MATTER AS AN OIL LEAK CAN HAVE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. I SPOKE TO HONDA(AMERICA) THIS AFTERNOON AND REPORTED IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE TURNING BACK OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

4/10/14 PICKED UP MY CAR FROM A BODY SHOP REFERRED BY VICTORY HONDA DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS TURNED LEFT 3 TO 4 SECONDS AFTER THE TURN MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND THE AIRBAG IN THE SIDE OF MY SEAT DEPLOYED AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT COLLISION AT THE SAME TIME. CAUSING A CONTINUAL RINGING IN MY EAR. TOOK CAR BACK TO BODY SHOP THEY TOOK MY CAR BACK TO VICTORY HONDA AND TOLD THEM I HIT A CURB. VICTORY HONDA, HONDA OF AMERICA, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE BODY SHOP ARE ALL STICKING TO THAT STORY. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND NOW I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AS THE SEAT BELTS AND THE REMAINING AIRBAGS ARE ALL DISCONNECTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [XXX]. MY PHONE NUMBER IS[XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I TOOK MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT MY SRS LIGHT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAUSE WAS DTC 32-10, INTERMITTENT CONNECTION IN FLOOR HARNESS. AND THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SEEN OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE IS DESIGN FLAW IN THE SRS SYSTEM. I HAVE ALSO FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: SB-10-001 THIS SEEMS LIKE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE DRIVER AIR-BAG DEPLOYED WHILE EXECUTING A LOW-SPEED "K-TURN" ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE DRIVER'S HANDS ARE BRUISED AND SWOLLEN, AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT RESIDUAL RINGING IN THE EARS. NO BONES WERE BROKEN AND THE EARDRUM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PERFORATED. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT SHE GOT HER CIVIC PAINTED BECAUSE OF A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY CAR AT THE HONDA DEALER IN KILLEEN TEXAS, BUT I CALLED MY LOCAL GREG MAY HONDA IN WACO TX SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I TOLD THEM I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE STATING THERE WAS A RECALL, AND SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT IT. I WAS HAVING THE EXACT COLOR ISSUES WITH PEALING, CLOUDY COLOR ON MY ROOF, AND A FEW OTHER PANELS ON MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT ITS PAST DUE NOW, AND I BASICALLY WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS. I AM HAVING MY CAR ROOF PAINTED THIS WEEKEND, AND WILL HAVE TO DO THE REST AS I CAN AFFORD IT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL THAT HONDA SAID WAS HAPPENING IF YOU NEVER SENT A NOTIFICATION TO ME.??? I HAVEN'T BEEN ONLINE HERE SINCE I PAID MY CAR OFF, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WOULD HAVE RECALLS ETC ON HERE. I WILL KEEP WATCH NOW THAT I KNOW. I LOVE MY HONDAS THIS IS MY SECOND CIVIC I ALSO HAD AN ACCORD. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING FOR ME? I HAVE PHOTO'S OF MY CAR WITH THE DAMAGE IF YOU NEED PROOF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION REGARDING THE ABOVE MATTER. *TR

DRIVER'S WINDOW MOVES UP AND DOWN. I PUT WINDOW UP, AND IT COMES DOWN BY ITSELF. MINOR ISSUE IS CLEARCOAT PAINT PEELING OFF OF BUMPER. *TR

SINCE I GOT MY CAR WITH 62,000 MILES EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO GET OIL CHANGES EVERY 3 MONTHS THE TELL ME THE CONTROL ARMS ARE BAD AND CAUSING UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRE TREAD... I GET NEW TIRES AND IT ONLY LAST SO LONG BEFORE THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE BECAUSE OF THE UNEVEN WEAR NOT EVEN GOING AT A HIGH SPEED... IT MAKES IT HARDER TO STOP DUE TO THE SHAKING WHICH SCARES ME WHEN I HAVE TO STOP SUDDENLY DUE TO OTHER DRIVERS OR SOMETHING IN THE ROAD.. *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A 5 WAY INTERSECTION CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. MY CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR MADE LOUD RUBBING NOISE. CAR WAS TOWED TO HONDA DEALER. I WAS TOLD IN WAS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH. I CONTACTED HONDA WARRANTIES I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED USED HONDA. IT HAD 100000 MI WARRANTY WHICH I WAS PAST. HONDA ADVISE IT WAS 3900.00 IF FIX AND AGREED TO PAY 1300. IN READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 YEAR I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID MORE. SINCE OWNING THE CAR I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES FROM HONDA ABOUT ENGINE LEAKAGE PROBLEM AND THAT ENGINE IS COVERED FOR 10YEARS, ALSO REAR CONTROL ARMS, AND I JUST RECEIVED IN MAIL A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE ABOUT PREMATURE BREAK WARE. AT AROUND 70000 I HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR MOUNTS THAT WAS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR DRUM BRAKES AT 90000. I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A CLUTCH EVERY AND KEEP MOST CARS FOR OVER 150000 MI. AND DRUM BRAKES SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE AT 90000. I HAVE TO SAY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE THERE IS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSIONS ON THIS YEAR. *TR

EXCESSIVE INNER TIRE WEAR. WHEEL IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT, BUT NOT ADJUSTABLE. FIX IS TO PURCHASE ADJUSTABLE ARMS, THEN ALIGN. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION ACCIDENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HEARD A LOUD REVVING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CROSSED OVER THE CONCRETE PARKING MEDIAN AND HIT A MOTORIST. THE CONSUMER STATED HER FOOT WAS NOT ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. BOTH VEHICLES SUFFERED DAMAGED. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A LOSS. *JB

DRIVER SIDE VISOR STARTED TO GETTING STUCK AND LOOSE BEFORE COMPLETELY FALLING OFF THE HINGE. *TR

I AM HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH MY SIDE CURTAIN DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WHEN IT RAINS. I SPOKE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WANT TO TAKE APART MY WHOLE CAR AND BOTH ALSO SAID COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. IT APPARENTLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANT BECAUSE IT IS A WATER LEAK BUT THAT IS UNFAIR. IT IS MOST LIKELY DESTROYING MY AIR BAG AND THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. HONDA CORPORATE TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE AND THAT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. *TR

I WAS ADVISED BY HONDA NORTH IN CLOVIS, CA, TO REPLACE THE OPDS SENSOR AND THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT WHICH SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. IT DID NOT! I SPENT $697.87 FOR THIS REPAIR AT VISALIA HONDA ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT RESET THE AIR BAGS. I WAS THEN TOLD THE SRS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESET THE AIR BAGS. THE QUOTED COST TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS $450.00. ALSO, I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA'S SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], THAT THEY HAD NO WAY OF DETERMINING WHY THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COMING SO REPAIRS WERE BEING MADE IN SOME KIND OF PECKING ORDER. THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED WITH AMERICAN HONDA PROVIDING THE PART WHILE I PAID $221.54 FOR THE LABOR. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN AUGUST 2014 AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA THAT THE CABLE REEL HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $413.00. THE CABLE REEL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEIR 2007 CIVIC BUT YET AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND IT GOES INTO A SHIFT GEAR IT TUGS BACK AND FORTH THAN IT KICKS IN, IN ONLY DOES IT AT CERTAIN SPEED THAN IT STOPS. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE ANY RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IF ANY REPAIRS ARE BEING DONE OR HAVE BEEN DONE. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL JUST BREAK APART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND CAUSE SOME PILEUP AND MY LIFE OR OTHERS MAY BE IN DANGER. *TR

REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY CAUSES UNEVEN, RAPID TIRE WEAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2007 FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT SERVICED BY THIS DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN. A SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 WAS ISSUED 1/22/08, BUT I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 8/18/14 ABOUT THIS. THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. *TR

ORIGINAL REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS (OEM) NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO KNOWN CAMBER MISALIGNMENT FROM FACTORY. THIS WELL-KNOWN ISSUE FROM HONDA (ON 2006 - 2009 CIVICS) CAUSES UNEVEN WEAR AND SHORTENS THE LIFETIME OF TIRES. THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE TO BRING THE ALIGNMENT SPECS (CAMBER) BACK INTO A SAFE RANGE IS TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND TIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE COMPRESSOR AND THE BATTERY FAILED INTERMITTENTLY.

THE DEALER WAS WAITING FOR INSTRUCTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,500.

SUNVISORS: THE SUN VISORS ON THIS CAR FELL APART WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THEM. EITHER THE VISOR COMPLETELY FELL OUT OR THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION/DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2008 MODELS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR AS WELL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AS USUAL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, WHEN I CAME TO THE STOP LIGHT THE FRONT RIGHT OF MY CARS HAD STREAMS OF SMOKE POURING OUT. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR DIED, I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE INDICATED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE 2007 CIVIC FOR 10YEARS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE OF THE 2007 CIVIC OVERHEATING AND CRACKING/DESTROYING THE ENGINE. IT IS MY HOPE THAT HONDA WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE AND HONOR/OWN THE DEFECTS. *TR

I WENT TO STOW MY DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR, IT SPLIT IN HALF AND REMAINED ABOUT 1" FROM STOWING FLAT. IT THEN KEPT DEPLOY AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 3 INCHES RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION. I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO SEE ABOUT BUYING A NEW ONE AND NOTICED A RECALL WAS IN PLACE FOR THIS ITEM. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALER AND HE CONFIRMED THERE WAS A RECALL THAT APPLIED TO SOME 2007 HONDA CIVICS BUT THAT MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL -- DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT FAILED IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE RECALL DESCRIBED. *TR

TIRES HAVE WORN UNEVENLY DUE TO REAR BALANCE ARM/ STRUT ASSEMBLY ISSUE WHICH HAVE CAUSED THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO CANTER AND BE TOED IN, WHICH IN TURN HAS ALSO DAMAGED THE SUSPENSION/SPRINGS. CAR NOW LEANS TO DRIVER SIDE IN THE REAR. CAR HAS HAD 4 SETS OF TIRES AND HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. DUE TO UNEVEN TIRE WEAR THE CAR IS EXTREMELY LOUD (EAR DAMAGING LOUD) AND VIBRATES (SHIMMIES) AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH. WE WERE TOLD BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT ONLY AN AFTER MARKET ADJUSTABLE BALANCE ARM WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACCOUNTABILITY. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN, BLOCKING ME VISION (I'M 6'1). IT SEEMS TO BE BROKEN, FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WON'T GO BACK INPLACE. *TR

AFTER ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I NOTICED THE PAINT STARTED TO APPEAR RATHER DUSKY. A SHORT TIME LATER, MY PAINT STARTED TO PEEL! MY CAR WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AT TIME OF PURCHASE- SO PEELING PAINT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT OWNERS FAULT. NO SOONER DID MY ROOF BEGIN TO PEEL HEAVILY, THE HOOD AND SIDE PANELS AND NOW TRUNK ARE STARTING TO PEEL EXCESSIVELY. IT IS SO EMBARRASSING, AND SO GROSS. *TR

I AM HAVING PREMATURE TIRE WEAR DUE TO A FAULTY REAR CONTROL ARM. PLEASE HELP! MY CAR HYDROPLANES AND THE VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS HORRIBLE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I EXPERIENCED ASYMMETRICAL CUPPING AND RAPID WEAR ON MY TIRES DUE TO A DEFECTIVE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR HONDA (THEY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2008 REGARDING THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2013). SINCE THE DEADLINE TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THE CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS PASSED HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

I KEEP CHANGING BRAKES AND ROTORS. I HAVE DONE THIS 2-3 TIMES SO FAR. THE STEERING KEEPS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES. IF YOU DON'T CHANGE THE ROTORS, THIS PROBLEM WILL GET WORSE, SO I AM FORCED TO KEEP CHANGING THE ROTORS EVERY OTHER YEAR. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE HAD MANY HONDA CARS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR CONDITION. I BELIEVE THERE'S A FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OR THE ROTORS. NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG, BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S A SAFETY ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVIC 2007ROTORS AND BRAKE SYSTEM THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *JS

WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT APPROX 20-25 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BUMP AS IF A ROCK HAD HIT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR; SHORTLY THE STEERING WAS OFF KILTER -- TO GO STRAIGHT HAD TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED 30 DEGREES RIGHT; LOUD RUBBING SOUND; PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THEN COULD NOT BACK UP -- FOUND THAT RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS BENT IN, SO THAT TOP OF TIRE ABUTTED THE WHEEL WELL. CAR TOWED TO DEALER -- FOUND STRUT BOLTS ON RIGHT FRONT TIRE WERE LOOSE. CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED ONE WEEK PRIOR: REPLACED FAILED STARTER AND PERFORMED OIL CHANGE AND B SERVICE WITH INSPECTION OF BRAKES AND TIRE ROTATION. *JS
