2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 20,000 MILES WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE ON THE HIGHWAY. SOUND WAS COMING FROM REAR OF CAR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE TO REPLACE REAR CONTROL ARMS. REPAIRS COULD NOT BE DONE ON A TIMELY MANNER BECAUSE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET PARTS FOR SEVERAL DAYS. PROBLEM HAS LIKELY RESULTED IN UNEVEN TIRE WARE, WHICH MAY CAUSE HANDLING DIFFICULTIES AND POSSIBLY A CRASH, BUT DEALER WANTED US TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. AFTER INSISTING, WE WERE GIVEN A LOANER CAR. *TR

AT 25 MILES PER HOUR, THE DRIVER CROSSED OVER TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HIT ALMOST HEAD ON. THE IMPACT WAS SLIGHTLY GREATER ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVERS FRONT AIRBAG, THE DRIVER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG AND THE SIDE CURTAIN FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR). SHE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. SHE CALLED THE DEALER, BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,207.

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC SI, 2007 MODEL, THAT I HAD A FLAT AND REPLACED ONE TIRE. TIRE DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIRE AT AROUND 6000 MILES, WHEN GOING IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE (ROTATION TIRES, OIL CHANGE) THE SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS BAD BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOW PULLING. WHEN STATING PULLING, IT WAS A MAJOR PULL, NOT SLIGHT PULL. I TOOK CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR, SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE IT PULL. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED TIRE. UPON GOING TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE, THE NEW TIRE WAS ROTATED TO FRONT OF CAR AGAIN AND IT WAS PULLING AGAIN. SHOP FOREMAN INSIST IT IS THE TIRE. I BRING CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH TIME HE REALIZES THAT THE TIRE IS NOT THE RIGHT TIRE. ORDERS THE CORRECT TIRE AND INSTALLED IT AND THE CAR STILL PULLS. NOW THIS IS NOT REPEAT NOT A SLIGHT PULL, BUT A MAJOR PULL. IF I DO NOT HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT I WOULD BE IN THE DITCH OR OTHER LANE UPON TAKING OFF. THE PULL IS REALLY A HARD PULL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE TIRE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE CAR, CAR DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE TIRE? CAN SOMEONE HELP? PLEASE *TR

A/C OUT ON 1 YEAR OLD HONDA CIVIC. DEALER SAYS "ROCK HIT THE A/C CONDENSER". THIS IS EITHER A FAULTY PART OR A DESIGN FLAW AND HAS BEEN NOTED BY HONDA OWNERS AS FAR BACK AS 2003 (ACCORDING TO WEB RESEARCH). CAR IS CURRENTLY IN SAN DIEGO AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS AN OVER HEATED DRIVER COULD BE DISTRACTED OR DROWSY. CAR HAS NOT YET BEEN FIXED - HONDA DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND COST TO FIX IS OVER $600. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. NORMALLY, THE ELECTRIC MOTOR FUNCTIONS AS A BRAKE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO STOP; HOWEVER, THAT FUNCTION HAS BEEN FAILING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY MUST EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AN ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,800.

2006, 2007, AND SOME 2008 HONDA CIVICS HAVE "OUT OF SPEC" UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION WHICH RESULTS IN EXCESS NEGATIVE CAMBER, IMPROPER WEAR OF REAR TIRES. *TR

THIN METAL GAUGE OF BODY ALLOWS FOR DINGS FROM ACORNS DROPPING FROM TREE. I'VE HAD 5 OTHER VEHICLES SINCE OWNING THIS PROPERTY AND LAST FALL MY NEW HONDA HYBRID DEVELOPED OVER 20 QUARTER SIZE DENTS ALL OVER THE ROOF/TRUNK/HOOD. NO OTHER VEHICLES HAD THIS ISSUE. *TR

3RD GEAR IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO. SOMETIMES THE GEAR POPS OUT OF 3RD. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT OUT THE LOT BRAND NEW. I'VE MADE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT NONE HAVE RESPONDED TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

NOTICED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN THE EXPRESSWAY AND THOUGHT THAT MUST BE TIME TO ROTATE TIRES SO I PULLED IN MY GARAGE AND NOTICED BOTH REAR TIRES HAVE BUMPS AND EXCESSIVE WEAR WHILE FRONT ONES LOOK LIKE NEW. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 31,591 AND NOTICED THIS BEEN HAPPENING AND SLOWLY GETTING WORSE. *TR
