2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

WHILE BACKING UP AT APPROXIMATELY 2MPH THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO ABOUT 3,000RPMS FOR 2-3 SECONDS. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THE REVVING STOPPED. *TR

I HAVE A RUMBLE IN THE SUSPENSION OF MY CAR WITH NEW TIRES. THE TIRES I HAVE ONLY HAVE ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON THEM AND HONDA IS SAYING THAT IT'S BECAUSE I PUT CHEAP TIRES ON MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO BARRY'S HONDA SO MANY TIMES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. EVEN WHEN I HAD THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE CAR AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT OR THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I BROUGHT IT TO THEM AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR TIMES. ONE TIME THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A BROKEN BELT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE SO THAT'S WHEN I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. THE ORIGINAL TIRES ONLY HAD 40,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN I REPLACED THEM. WHEN I HAD THE TIRES REPLACED THE STORE THAT PUT THE TIRES ON SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A BROKEN BELT. I STILL HAD THE RUMBLE WITH BRAND NEW TIRES. *TR

SUN VISORS ON 2006 HONDA CIVIC BREAKS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION....METAL BRACKET BREAKS THE PLASTIC AROUND IT WHEN THE VISOR IS WARMED BY SUN...WHEN YOU PUT THE VISOR BACK UP IT CAN FALL DOWN MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. THIS DEFECT HAS OCCURRED ON ALL THREE OF THE 2006 HONDA CIVICS MY FAMILY OWNS. THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM IS TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE VISOR> HONDA USA HAS NO AVAILABILITY ON THE REPLACEMENT VISORS AS THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO WIDE SPREAD. *TR

FRONT BRAKES REPLACED DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR. INNER PADS WERE 95% WORN & OUTER PADS WERE 50% WORN. THEY REFUSED TO PRO-RATE THE REPAIR DUE TO IT BEING A WEAR ITEM EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT. OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. *TR

TIRE FAILURE AROUND 27,000 MILES FROM EXCESSIVE WEAR ON REAR TIRES DESPITE REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. POSSIBLY DUE TO REAR CONTROL ARM MALFUNCTION WHICH MANUFACTURER WILL NOT INSPECT. ALSO, MANUFACTURER HAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BOTH SUN VISORS DUE TO SPLITTING OF PLASTIC (MOST LIKELY DUE TO BAD ENGINEERING WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF INTERIOR HEAT). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE TIRES WERE SMOKING, AND AS A RESULT, WERE GRINDED DOWN TO THE METAL BELTS. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS NEVER ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

2006 HONDA CIVIC HAVE A BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT. CONSUMER STATES THAT SHE IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH PARTS FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT REPAIR AND THE DEALERSHIP. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SEAT ADJUSTER BAR FELL OFF. ALSO, WHEN IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE, THE SUN VISOR SPLIT WHICH CAUSED IT NOT TO STAY UP. ONCE THE WEATHER COOLED DOWN, THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT BACK INTO PLACE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE CONSTANTLY FALLING APART. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THEM TWICE. *JB

PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES. I HAVE HAD ALIGNMENT CHECKS EVERY 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE HAD MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY 6,000 MILES. *TR

THE OVERHEAD VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT GO BACK UP TO THE ORIGINAL RESTING POSITION. WHEN THEY ARE PULLED DOWN, A GAP FORMS BETWEEN THE HARD PLASTIC PORTION AND THE CENTER PORTION. NORMALLY, WHEN THEY ARE PUT IN THE NORMAL RESTING POSITION THE GAP CLOSES AND CREATES A POPPING SOUND. CURRENTLY, THE GAP WON'T CLOSE ANYMORE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WITH THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND A HONDA RETAILER CAR SHOP REPLACED THE VISOR. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA CIVIC WITH 50K MILES ON IT ONE MONTH AGO. THE AIR CONDITIONING DID NOT BLOW COLD AIR FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME I TURNED IT ON. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP (IT HAS A BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY FOR A YEAR), THEY SAID A PEBBLE HIT THE CONDENSER AND IT WOULD COST $700 TO REPLACE AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A ROAD HAZARD. AFTER READING THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA/TQ02NF40877B57GF6 AND TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PART. *TR
