2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

2007 HONDA CIVIC ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED, LEAKING COOLANT - HONDA RELATED TO TSB 08-044.

CRACKED AND LEAKING ENGINE BLOCK WITH ONLY 72K MILES ON VEHICLE. WE HAD THE FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED TO SMOKING HEAVILY, WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING EXTREME VISIBILITY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS A HORRIBLE SMELL. THIS ALSO CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES AROUND US TO REACT. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT MORNING, AND BY LATE AFTERNOON, WERE TOLD IT HAS A CRACKED AND LEAKING ENGINE BLOCK. THERE HAS BEEN A VERY CLEAR AND NOTED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE'S ENGINE BLOCK AND, HAD THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO, THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE TO US AS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. WE ARE WITHOUT A SAFE VEHICLE, WHILE HONDA HAS HAD MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF CIVICS FROM THESE YEARS. OURS ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES, IS MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND ALWAYS AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. IT IS A COMMUTER ONLY VEHICLE, FOR THE MOST PART. PLEASE HELP US, AS WELL AS ALL THESE OTHER OWNERS I HAVE RESEARCHED, WHO ARE ALSO SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF HONDA NOT DOING THE PROPER THING WITH THEIR ENGINE BLOCK ISSUES! WE ALL LOOK TO YOU FOR SUPPORT AND TO MAKE SURE MANUFACTURERS ARE HELD TO THE STANDARD IN WHICH YOU SET FOR THEM. THEY WANT TO CHARGE US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR A VEHICLE THAT HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM DOCUMENTED. NOTHING LIKE HAVING A VETERAN'S CAR SMOKE OUT IN TRAFFIC ON ACTUAL VETERAN'S DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, ENERGY AND EFFORT.

DRIVER SIDE SAFETY PRETENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THIS ISSUE CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO NOT WORK IF IN AN ACCIDENT. HONDA SHOULD REPLACE ANY SAFETY ISSUES WITH ANY VEHICLES. I HAD TO GET IT REPLACED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP COSTING 430.00.

CRACKED BLOCK AND LEAKING COOLANT--VEHICLE OVERHEATING. MANUFACTURING DEFECT. LOGGED A CASE WITH HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA.

"TAKATA RECALL". THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSISTENTLY SINCE 2017 INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WHEN GOING DOWNHILL, THE RPM WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY WITHOUT USING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. BOTH SUN VISORS ARE BROKEN...EACH SIDE CAME APART FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THE CD PLAYER QUIT WORKING IN 2016. THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING IN 2016.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACK DIAGNOSED FOLLOWING HONDA'S 10 YEAR WARRANTY THAT WE WERE NEVER ALERTED ABOUT BY HONDA OR AT ANY SERVICE PERFORMED BY HONDA IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. ENGINE WENT UP IN SMOKE AND BROKE DOWN WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS OR SENSORS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THANKFULLY ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY.

AROUND 2009, JANUARY 2016 AND SEPTEMBER 2018 WHEN DRIVING VERY SLOWLY (TWO OF THESE TIMES IN A PARKING GARAGE AND ONE TIME WHEN TURNING A TIGHT CORNER WITH PEDESTRIANS PRESENT), I BELIEVE I SUDDENLY BRAKED BUT MY CAR SPED UP. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE RESULTED IN PROPERTY DAMAGE. I AM UNAWARE OF A RECALL RELATED TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FOR MY CAR. COULD THIS BE A MECHANICAL OR DESIGN PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 5 MPH, THE CONTACT MADE A LEFT TURN AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THE INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST (IMA) WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH TACOMA HONDA (7802 S TACOMA WAY, TACOMA, WA 98409, 253-472-2300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IMA BATTERY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. CAR ENGINE CRACKED WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND KNOWN ISSUE TO HONDA FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF THE CIVIC. I HAD MY THREE KIDS, INCLUDING AN INFANT IN THE CAR. TOOK IT TO HONDA WHERE THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE HAD JUST MISSED. MY CAR IS IN IMPECCABLE SHAPE WITH LOW MILEAGE (80,000). HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE ENGINE CRACK IN FULL (EXPECTING US TO PLAY 3,000), STATING THAT WE WERE NOT LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS AS OUR OTHER CAR WAS A TOYOTA. THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED BY HONDA AND THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS FIXED. AT THAT POINT, THEY SHOULD HAVE COMMUNICATED TO US REGARDING THE ENGINE AND THE CHANGES TO WARRANTY BASED ON THE KNOWN ISSUE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AFTER DRIVING OVER A POTHOLE. THERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.
