2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

SUN VISOR SPLIT AND WILL NOT STAY IN UP POSITION, CAUSING VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. *TR

BROKEN DRIVER SIDE VISOR, WOULD NOT STAY UP, BLOCK THE VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM AND HONDA WOULD NOT FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. MY CAR HAS 55,234 MILES. *TR

OWN A '06 HONDA CIVIC EX: ONLY OWNER. BOTH SUN VISORS SPLIT AT HINGE SAME DAY. REMOVED FOIL SUN SCREEN AND RAISED BOTH VISORS AT SAME TIME WHICH RESULTED IN BOTH VISORS SPLITTING OPEN. BOTH ARE INOPERABLE AT THIS TIME. HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ONLINE, SOME FOLKS HAVE EVEN REPLACED THEM WITH OEM REPLACEMENTS ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. LOTS OF POSTS FROM THE SOUTH WEST, WHERE THE HEAT IS MORE INTENSE. I LIVE IN OHIO WHERE THE HEAT IS MORE MODERATE AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. AT TIME OF THIS POSTING, THERE WERE 42 OTHER SIMILAR POSTINGS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR ON 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX SPLIT IN CENTER. THE VISOR DOES NOT STAY PUT AND OBSTRUCTS DRIVERS VIEW. PIECES OF PLASTIC FROM INSIDE THE VISOR FALL WITH ANY ATTEMPT OF MOVING THE VISOR WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AT 1-800-999-1009 IN WHICH THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL A DEALER TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON VISOR AS MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND, FAILING TO SPEAK WITH ME, RETURN MY CALLS. AFTER SECOND CALL TO HONDA THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC ENGINE CRACKED FROM OVERHEATING ONLY 42000 MILES. THE DEALER SAYS IT WAS FROM MY NEGLECT-HOWEVER I FOLLOWED THEIR GUIDE BOOK. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA WOULD TREAT A LOYAL CUSTOMER THIS WAY JUST TO SAVE A BUCK. FROM DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. WHO WILL STAND UP FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR

WHILE PUTTING MY CAR VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK SUN ON THE DRIVER SIDE, THE LEFT HINGE MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE, "SPLITTING" THE VISOR OPEN. IT WILL NO LONGER LOCK IN AN OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION, MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IT FLAPS DOWN IN FRONT OF ONE'S EYE WHEN DRIVING. NO TAPE OR OTHER FIX SEEMS TO WORK. OF COURSE, I AM TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC REAR CONTROL ARMS. HONDA HAS ISSUED A TSB08-001. YET THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE REPAIR OF WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DEFECTIVE PART THAT WAS DEEMED TO BE TOO SHORT AND CAN CAUSE RAPID AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. *TR

CIVIC EX 2006 FAULTY REAR DESIGN. RESULTING IN REAR TIRES BECOMING SEVERALLY WORN AND UNEVEN TREADS DUE TO UPPER REAR ARMS. MY CAR HAS ONLY 30000 MILES ON IT. HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS DEFECT #08-001. HONDA DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE UNLESS I PAY FOR THE NEW PART, $500, AND + LABOR, OR REPLACE TIRES WHICH MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO THIS STRUCTURAL DEFECT. DAMAGE TO TIRES OCCURRED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY MAKING THEM UNSAFE. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE CAR TO BECOME MISALIGNED A SAFETY ISSUE IN ITSELF. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED IT IS A DEFECT BUT ARE NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR RELEASED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE AND FAILED TO REMAIN IN THE UPWARD POSITION. THE DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTED THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON A SEPARATE OCCASION FOR IDENTICAL FAILURES AND REPAIRS WERE MADE AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,322 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,404.
