2008 Honda Civic complaints

CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WHICH WAS PART OF A VERY QUITE RECALL NOT ADVERTISED. NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFOMATION ON THE RECALL. LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT (IN MOTION) WHEN THE CAR JUST DIED.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACK, MANUFACTURE DEFECT, DONT WANT TO REPAIR IT CAUSE OUT OF WARRANTY, COOLANT LEAK AND OVER HEATING...

TSB#10-048 HONDA CIVIC (2006-2009) ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK CRACK. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THIS TSB. ON MAY 23, 2018, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 78 MILES FROM HOME, MY A/C STOPPED WORKING AND THE TEMP. GAUGE WAS UP TO H. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE HEAT ON TO COOL THE ENGINE. THEN I STOPPED FOR A HALF HOUR TO LET IT COOL. AFTER ARRIVING HOME AND UPON INSPECTION WE NOTICED THAT ALL THE COOLANT WAS GONE. THROUGH RESEARCH, THINKING WE HAD A BAD WATER PUMP, WE FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT TALKED ABOUT THE HONDA 10 YR EXTENDED ENGINE WARRANTY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY NEAREST HONDA DEALER ON 5/26 WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE CRACKED BLOCK. ACCORDING TO A PARTS PERSON AT HONDA THIS CRACK DOESN'T HAVE ANY PHYSICAL WARNING SIGNS UNTIL IT OVERHEATS. . I BOUGHT MY CAR MAY 5, 2008, SO I AM 21 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE BEST THE DEALERSHIP WILL DO IS COVER 75%. SO I WONDER HOW LONG BEFORE MY WARRANTY WAS OUT WAS IT LEAKING? THIS IS A VERY KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS HAD 3 UPDATES TO THE LENGTH OF WARRANTY SINCE 2009. IF I HAD BEEN SENT A MAILING AS THEY SAY THEY DID, I WOULD HAVE HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF. BUT SINCE IT'S NOT CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL I HAD NO WARNING. ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR I CHECK MY VIN # FOR RECALLS. EVEN TODAY IT LISTS 0.

AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR WENT AT 82,000 MILES. THE INTERNET SAYS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON. IT WAS A $491.31 REPAIR BILL FOR ME.

PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR WHERE ATTACHED TO CLAMP ON TO HINGE MECHANISM HAS COME APART. THE LITTLE TEETH THAT ARE INSIDE ARE THIN PLASTIC AND HAVE BROKEN OFF. VISOR CAN ONLY STAY IN THE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN POSITION, AND CANNOT BE USED ON THE SIDE WINDOW BECAUSE IT BOUNCES AND IS UNSTABLE. THIS WAS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY ACCIDENT. FOR SOME REASON IT WON'T LET ME ADD THE PICTURES, BUT I CAN EMAIL THEM TO YOU IF TELL ME WHERE TO SEND THEM.

**AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER DRIVING OVER POTHOLE** I DRIVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC 2DR WITH 160K MILES. ON MARCH 15, 2018 I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND I-294 WHEN MY VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A POTHOLE AT APPROX. 65 MPH AND THE DRIVER CURTAIN AND DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT WASN'T HARD ENOUGH TO DAMAGE MY WHEEL OR BODY OF THE CAR. THE POTHOLE SHOULD NOT OF INTERRUPTED THE SRS SYSTEM. THIS IS A RESULT OF A DEFECT IN HONDA'S AIR BAG/RESTRAINT SYSTEM.

MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC JUST STARTED LEAKING COOLANT RECENTLY. IT ONLY HAD 70000 MILES ON IT.. I WAS AT A DEALER 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO CHANGE BRAKES AND I EVEN HAD THEM DO AN INSPECTION BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS!! WEIRD!! BECAUSE LATER THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING, MY CAR STARTED OVERHEATING, REALLY BAD. TURNS OUT I WAS ALL OUT OFF ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANT. THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING.I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER ON NORTHERN BLVD, NY AND THEY SAID THE BLOCK ENGINE IS CRACKED AND I ASKED ABOUT THE 10 YEARS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE NASTY SALES GUY I WAS TALKING TO WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE AND ASKED TO CHANGE DIFFERENT AGENT..AND I WAITED 15 MINUTES AND ANOTHER GUY CAME AND EXPLAINED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR EXPIRED 4 WEEKS AGO AND I'M ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE AN ENGINE REPLACED BUT I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR 13 HOURS LABOR..AT TOTAL PRICE OF 1800$ ... SINCE AND, HONESTLY, IF I HAD BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER VEHICLES...I'M SURE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING IN HONDA CIVIC 2008..THIS IS CRAZY ....I THOUGHT HONDA WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RELIABLE!

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, MY HEATER HAD GONE COLD AND MY TEMPRATURE GAUGE SHOT INTO THE RED AND STEAM BEGAN TO COME UP FROM UNDER MY HOOD, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO LIFT MY HOOD AND STEAM COMES ROLLING OUT. I HAD THOUGHT FOR WEEKS IT WAS A WATER PUMP OR LINE ISSUE AND TRIED FIXING IT BUT NOTHING HELPED, A MECHANIC SHOP FINALLY TOLD ME IT WAS A CRACK IN MY BLOCK. I DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ITS BEEN A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR. THE ISSUE OF LOSING COOLANT AND PROBLEMS WITH OVERHEATING BEGAN IN JANUARY OF 2018.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACK LEAKING ANTIFREEZE AND CAR WON'T GO OVER 5 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY, THE ENGINE WOULD OVERHEAT, AND ANTIFREEZE AND OIL LEAKED FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUTE 22 HONDA (1480 N. BROAD ST., HILLSIDE, NJ) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HEAD GASKET VALVE COVER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 207,000.

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048, I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR, FAILED MY MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION DUE TO GASKET ISSUES. I FOUND OUT THE SAME DAY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2008 HONDA CIVIC ENGINES AFTER GETTING MY AIRBAGS FIXED (DUE TO A RECALL @HONDA). I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO HONDA TODAY TO FIND OUT IF MY CAR QUALIFIES FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK RECALL, EVEN IF I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR. I AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE ABOUT THIS MATTER, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

MY CAR IS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX MODEL. ON MARCH, 15 2018 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD SUDDENLY. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD TILL THE LAST MOMENT. FORTUNATELY I MANAGED TO PULL OVER THE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE IMMEDIATELY BESIDE THE HIGHWAY OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FATAL SITUATION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE THEY PERFORMED THE DIAGNOSIS TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WAS CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK WHICH HAS CAUSED THE COOLANT TO LEAK FROM THE ENGINE AND HENCE OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE HAS HAPPENED AND MADE IT TO MALFUNCTION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED (USED ONE) AND FEW OTHER PARTS AS WELL (LIKE SPARK PLUG ETC.) TO MAKE THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN WHICH WOULD COST ME AROUND $2500. IT WAS DEVASTATING TO HEAR THIS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MOST OF THE 2006 TO 2009 CIVICS HAD THIS ENGINE CRACK ISSUE AND HONDA IS ALSO AWARE OF THIS. DESPITE THIS HONDA HAS NOT CALLED FOR THE RECALL OF SUCH THOSE ENGINES AND JUST DID A WARRANTY EXTENSION. TSB 10-048 WAS ISSUED FOR THIS. BUT STILL A LOT OF 2006-2009 HONDA CIVICS ARE FACING THIS ISSUE EVEN AT VERY LOW MILES LIKE MINE. MINE HAS 166,000 MILES. I CHECKED WITH THE SERVICE CONSULTANT IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SHE DID A VIN INQUIRY AND SAID THAT MAY CAR IS STILL IN WARRANTY (THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE OF THE CAR WAS 20-APRIL- 2008 AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME ON -1

I BOUGHT A SET OF FOUR(4) DEXTERO DTR1 205/55/R16 TIRES IN FEBRUARY 2017. WITHIN A YEAR 3 OF THE 4 TIRES HAD ROT ON THE INSIDE WALL, WHICH WAS NOT VISIBLE, AND THE TIRE BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING IT. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I LEARNED THAT OTHER DEXTERO DTR1 MODEL TIRES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT MY TIRES HAD, BUT BECAUSE MY TIRE IS A DIFFERENT SIZE TIRE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SINCE MY TIRES HAVE THE SAME DEFECTS THAT THE OTHER TIRES DID, AND BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THIS DEFECT CAN KILL PEOPLE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD COVER THESE SAME TIRES AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD IN GOOD FAITH REPLACE THESE TIRES WITH SOME THAT WON'T PUT MY LIFE AT RISK.

VEHICLE HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO A POROSITY ISSUE AS A RESULT OF POOR MANUFACTURING AND QA PRACTICES.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. JUST PAST WARRANTY BY 3 WEEKS. KNOWN DEFAULT BUT HONDA WON'T COVER IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V545000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (DCH HONDA OF NANUET, 10 NY-304, NANUET, NY 10954, (845) 367-4380) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. UPON ARRIVAL, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS FROM THE DATE OF ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE SUN VISOR/AIRBAGS ON MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC REPLACED 3 TIMES BECAUSE SOMETHING KEEPS POPPING IN THEM. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST 3 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. THE FOURTH TIME IT POPPED, HONDA SAID THAT THEY WERE OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THEM FOR FREE. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENTS, AS THEY KEEP REPLACING THE SUN VISORS WITH THE SAME OLD CRAPPY ONES THAT BREAK WITHIN 2 YEARS. HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET HONDA TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR KNOWINGLY REPLACING THE PARTS, WITH PARTS THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT NOTICED PREMATURE RUST NEAR THE AREAS OF THE HOOD, ROOF, DRIVER SIDE DOOR, EXTERIOR REARVIEW MIRRORS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER BY THE HEADLIGHT, AND ALL ACROSS THE TRUNK. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS EXTENSIVE PAINT PEELING AND CRACKING. THE DEALER (RANDY KUEHL HONDA CARS, 4425 CENTER POINT RD NE, CEDAR RAPIDS, IA 52402, (319) 393-5700) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND PICTURES TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TAKATA RECALL- MY HONDA WAS TOTALED AND MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

INCIDENT OCCURRED 11-DEC 2017 COMMUTING INTO WORK AT AROUND 6:45 AM ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. CLEAR SKIES, 42, NO TRUCKS NEARBY, MODERATE CAR TRAFFIC. SUNROOF SHATTERED. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, THE SUNROOF COVER WAS OPEN. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF BEING HIT WITH AN OBJECT. THE CRACKS ARE NOT RADIATING FROM A SINGLE POINT, BUT ARE RANDOM. GLASS IS BOWING OUTWARDS, ALTHOUGH NOT YET COMPLETELY BREACHED AS OF 8 AM. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS COMPLETELY COMPROMISED THOUGH, ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE SUNROOF COMPLETELY COLLAPSES ON ITSELF.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED SIX DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND A FREE STARTED LEAKING OUT TOOK IT TO HONDA AND I FIND THAT IT IS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WHICH THEY HAVE EXTENDED AN EIGHT YEAR WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS UNFORTUNATELY I BOUGHT THIS IN NOVEMBER AND THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE WAS OCTOBER SO IT'S ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'M OUT $3500. HONDA SAYS EVEN IF IT WAS ONE DAY OUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT WHEN IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT OF CHEAP METAL AND THEY KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A POST CARD INDICATING THAT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT EVEN IF THE AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE. I CANNOT ENTER A DATE AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT FOR LACK OF A BETTER DATE I AM INCLUDING THE DATE I AM FILING OUT THIS FORM.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 15 TO 20 MILES AN HOUR IN A EMPTY PARKING LOT AN WENT OVER A PARKING CURB. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG OPENED UP AND HIT MY CHEST CAUSING MINOR POWDER BURNS TO MY RIGHT ARM AND A SMALL CUT. THE CAR HAD NO DAMAGE AND CAME TO IMEDIATE STOP BEFORE ANOTHER CURB IN THE LOT.

ENGINE DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE SIDE AND A COOLANT LEAK. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND HONDA HAS A WARRANTY CAMPAIGN BUT WON'T REPLACE MY ENGINE DUE TO A SALVAGE TITLE BECAUSE OF A THEFT RECOVERY, NOT AN ENGINE REBUILD OR ENGINE DAMAGE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 42000 MILES. THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN QUOTED AT ABOUT $4400. THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IS 10-048 AND I THINK HONDA IS JUST AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO THE SALVAGE TITLE TECHNICALITY. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AND I OWN THREE NOW. I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THE RISKS OF POOR QUALITY ENGINEERING AND UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT HONDA HAS DISPLAYED IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME MY PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR MOUNT HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF!!

THIS IS THE LAST AMOUNT DUE THIS MONTH FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ENGINE CRACKED AND LEAKING FLUIDS. I WAS TOLD ALL HONDA MODELS DURING THE YEARS OF 2005-09 ARE EFFECTED BY ENGINE CRACKED. SO I HAVE A PAID OFF CAR WHICH I AM UNABLE TO UTILIZE AND ALL ENGINES ARE EFFECTED BY IT, IF I DO GET ANOTHER ENGINE NEW OR USED.

TAKATA RECALL PER WEBSITE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON AND OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS BEFORE IT BECAME PERMANENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DAVID MCDAVID HONDA OF FRISCO DEALER LOCATED AT 1601 DALLAS PKWY, FRISCO, TX 75034 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLOOR WIRE HARNESS FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALER PER A MANUFACTURER RECALL ONE YEAR AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,820.

2 THINGS: 1) THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKE FOR NO REASON. IT NOW HANGS IN THE WAY OF MY VISION. IT DOESN'T STAY UP. IT IS A HAZARD. I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER SIT THERE BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTS THEIR VIEW. 2) THE PAINT IS DAMAGED. SERVER ALL SPOTS ARE "WORN OUT".

2008 HONDA CIVIC COUPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PAINT PEELING OFF ON ROOF OF VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE DID NOT BEGIN TO PEEL UNTIL AFTER TO RECALL EXPIRED. UPDATED 10/23/2017*JS

THE HOOD WAS REPAINTED DURING A RECALL A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. LAST YEAR, WE SAW CLOUDY WHITE PATCHES ON THE TRUNK AND THE PAINT/COATING COMING OFF (THE CAR IS BLACK). NOW THERE ARE LARGE WHITE PATCHES ON THE TRUNK, HOOD, AND THERE IS PAINT PEELING UNDER ONE OF THE DOORS. IT IS SPREADING QUICKLY ACROSS EACH AREA.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD TURNED ON. CALLED 911 FOR ASSISTANCE SINCE COULDN'T EXIT THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP NEAR WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. SHOP DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO ENGINE OVERHEATING. AFTER I FOUND OUT THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND SEIZED I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA FOR DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE SOMETIME AFTER I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, I WAS NOTIFIED BY HONDA THAT THE ENGINE MAY EXPERIENCE COOLANT SEEPAGE THAT CAN RESULT IN ENGINE OVERHEATING, THUS AMERICAN HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OF THE ENGINE TO 10 YEARS FROM ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE WITH NO MILEAGE LIMIT. MY CAR WAS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 64,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. HONDA SERVICE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO COOLANT SEEPAGE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY OFFERED ORIGINALLY. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA FOR NOT RECALLING THESE ENGINES FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, INSTEAD OF PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN DANGER OF VERY SERIOUS SITUATIONS SUCH AS THE ONE I DESCRIBED.

DEFECTIVE ENGINE MOUNT CAUSING LOUD VIBRATION WHEN STARTING CAR IN COLD TEMPERATURES. 57K MILES, NO ABNORMAL USE. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA CIVICS IN THE MID-LATE 2000S, LIKELY MANUFACTURING/DESIGN PROBLEM.

ENGINE SEEMS TO BE LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP / MATERIALS. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO HAVE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE UNDER POWER. HONDA CURRENTLY HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS 10-048. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT COVER ALL VEHICLES. IN MY CASE, I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS SALVAGED TITLE DUE TO DAMAGE IN REAR RIGHT QUARTER PANEL. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE CHECKED, THE HONDA DEALER DID STATE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT PROBLEM AS 10-048, BUT WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY DUE TO IT'S SALVAGE TITLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM DUE TO THE HIGH RISK POTENTIAL OF A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY NHTSA AND ESCALATED AS A RECALL ITEM.

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND CRASHED. THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK ON THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD POP OUT OF THIRD GEAR INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED AN ABNORMAL GRINDING SOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THIRD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (LAMACCHIA HONDA, 932 W GENESEE ST., SYRACUSE, NY, 13204), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THERE WERE TIMES THAT THE CONTACT CALLED AND WENT TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. OVER TIME, THE POPPING NOISE WORSENED AND THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO MOVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17.

MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC CURRENTLY HAS 107,460 +/- MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS CRACKED. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY MY MECHANIC. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. NHTSA REF# 10030876, TSB REF#SB-08-044 AND SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048. HONDA PUT A 10 YR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINES FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE. MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED ON 09/27/2007. MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON 10/02/2017, 5 DAYS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE BLOCK, GIVING NO GRACE PERIOD ON THIS WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 107,XXX MILES WHICH IS NOT A LOT BY TODAY'S STANDARDS.I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AND FURTHERMORE HONDA SHOULD HAVE PUT A MILEAGE AMOUNT ON THE WARRANTY AS WELL.

MOTOR MOUNT FAILURE. CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AND AFFECTING HANDLING OF VEHICLE

CONTACTED SUSSMAN HONDA DEALER BY PHONE REGARDING REMEDYING PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG RECALL. WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO EMAIL. SENT EMAIL ON 08/01/2016. NO REPLY. EMAILED AGAIN ON 09/23/16, NO REPLY. CALLED DEALER AND AFTER A BIT OF "PHONE TAG" AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STRUGGLING TO FIND MY VIN, INFO, ETC. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE ALREADY ON ORDER AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY WERE IN. IT IS NOW A FULL YEAR LATER, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER RECALL AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

MY CAR PAINT AND CLEARCOAT STARTED FEELING OFF ON ROOF AND HOOD AND SPREADING ALL OVER BODY PARTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (CARBONE HONDA IN BENNINGTON, VERMONT) IN 2013 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG FAILED. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE AIR BAG SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. SINCE THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED THE REPAIR; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT DUE TO AN OPENING ON THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG'S FIRST INFLATOR, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE AIR BAG FAILED. THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 06206996. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,178.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND THE HOOD OF MY HONDA CIVIC STARTED PEELING OFF LAST WINTER AND IT'S GOTTEN REALLY BAD. I RANDOMLY FOUND OUT ABOUT A PAINT RECALL THAT HONDA HAD A FEW YEARS AGO AND CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT IT. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME BECAUSE THE RECALL IS CLOSED AS OF 2014 AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S FAULTY PAINT AT MY OLD OR NEW MAILING ADDRESS.

I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO AND AFTER 2 YEARS THE PAINT ON THE ROOF STARTED TO PEAL AND NOW THERE ARE BIG WHITE PEELING BLOTCHES ON THE ROOF AND ITS STARTING ON THE TRUNK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND THE ENGINE COOLANT LEAKED, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (A PLUS AUTOS 5002 WEST OKMULGEE STREET, MUSKOGEE, OK 74401 PHONE: 918-687-9693) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000.

THE PAINT ON THE BACK OF MY ROOF AND THE TOP OF MY TRUNK HAS BEEN SLOWLY PEELING OFF OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE SEEN THE SAME PEELING PAINT PATTERN ON SEVERAL OTHER HONDA CIVICS IN THE 2007-2010 RANGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR / VANITY MIRROR-----SEPARATION BROKEN CAME APART FAILURE. WHILE MOVING IT TO POSITION TO BLOCK SUN WESTERLY DIRECTION AFTERNOON!

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC BROKE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOLD THIS WAS A WARRANTY ITEM AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CARE IN 2011 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL ITEM, AND HAD IT REPLACED FOR FREE. I WAS TOLD THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD COST $70.00 PLUS TAX TO FIX. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO HAVE IT DONE, SINCE I DON'T INTEND TO KEEP THE CAR MUCH LONGER. IT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE ROOF AND INTERFERES WITH LINE OF SIGHT AT STOP SIGNS, ETC. IF I MOVE IT TO THE SIDE WINDOW THEN THE SUN HITS ME DIRECTLY IN THE EYES, CREATING ISSUES ALSO. THANK YOU.

AROUND EARLY 2013 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CLEAR COAT CRACKING AND CLOUDING UP ON SEVERAL AREAS OF THE CAR'S BODY. I ALMOST ALWAYS TAKE THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AND I ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES. THEY SAID I MIGHT BE WASHING THE CAR TOO MUCH AND THAT I SHOULD TRY NOT TO PARK IT IN THE SUN SO MUCH. THIS PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND WORSE OVER THE NEXT 24 MONTHS AND RIGHT NOW THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT'S 25 YEARS OLD DUE TO HOW BAD THE PAINT LOOKS. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT HONDA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (CAMPAIGN # 14-034, ENTITLED: PAINT CHALKING, CRACKING, CLOUDING WARRANTY EXTENSION) THAT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE PAINT. BUT I NEVER GOT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL FROM HONDA, AND THE DEALERSHIP PEOPLE HAD JUST KEPT SAYING THE PAINT PROBLEM WAS MY FAULT. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE PAINT, THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THAT IT WAS TOO BAD FOR ME, SO SORRY.

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND TRUNK ARE PEELING OFF.
