2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK RIGHT SIDE CAME LOOSE AND MADE MY SEAT ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. ALSO MY BAR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT BROKE SO I COULDN'T ADJUST MY SEAT. DOES BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT AN ISSUE OF A DEFECT FROM HONDA ARE 2006 HONDA CIVICS. VERY DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVERS SEAT TO BE LOOSE WHILE DRIVING YOUR CAR. WHEN THE DRIVER SEAT IS LOOSE IT CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO CRASH AN INJURED OTHERS BY BEING DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU CANNOT ADJUST THE SEAT TO THE PROPER POSITION IT CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO NOT BE ABLE TO REACH THE PEDALS PROPERLY SO THEY CAN DRIVE SAFELY AND HIT THE BRAKE SAFELY TO STOP THEIR VEHICLE SO THEY DON'T CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. I WAS PARKS AT THE TIME OUT DOING STUFF AND WHEN I CAME BACK TO MY CAR TO GET READY TO LEAVE IS WHEN I NOTICED MY BAR UNDERNEATH THE CAR BROKE AND I COULDN'T ADJUST THE SEAT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ADJUST IT TO DRIVE HOME. MY CAR SEE STARTED BECOMING LOOSE ONE DAY WHEN I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR TO LEAVE AND DRIVE I NOTICED THE SEAT WAS WOBBLY THAT MORNING, I HAD NO CLUE WHY CUZ I NEVER HAD A SEAT BECOME LOOSE AND WOBBLY LIKE THAT BEFORE OUT OF ALL THE CARS I FOUND.

THESE CARS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GET A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. HONDA HAS HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO MAKE AND MODEL HAVING A LOT OF THESE CARS ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING WHILE DRIVING, WHICH THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THESE ENGINE BLOCKS ARE GOING TO CRACK IT CAN BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAUSE CAR ACCIDENTS INJURE THEM OR OTHERS. HONDA SHOULD BE REPLACING ALL THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC ENGINES NOT JUST DOING EXTENDED WARRANTY. BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE HONDAS WHO ARE HAVING THEIR ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKED RIGHT AFTER THE EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTY IS UP. IT IS NOT RIGHT 2 NOT DO ANYTHING FOR OTHERS WHO GET A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK AND LOSE THEIR CAR WHEN HONDA SPECIFICALLY KNOWS IS MAKE AND MODEL HAS MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES WE HAVE ON THESE CARS DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING AND COULD BE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT ON A FREEWAY HIGHWAY OR A MAIN STREET SOMEWHERE WHICH CAN KILL THEIR SELF OR OTHER PARTIES ON THE ROADS. IF HONDA KNOWS IS SPECIFICALLY IS A DEFECT IN 2006 HONDA CIVIC ENGINES THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S THERE FAULT NOT THE OWNER'S FAULT. THIS IS HONDAS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THEIR DEFECTS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF, WHEN THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. YES THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD , DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOCKS CRACKING AT ANY POSSIBLE TIME WHILE DRIVING OUR CARS. NO MY CAR HAS NOT HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK YET, BUT I DO WORRY WHEN AND IF MINE DOES I CAN'T GO MAKE HONDA FIX THERE DEFECT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK, WHICH REQUIRED THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V034000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) CONCERNING THE HYBRID MODELS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE KEY CAN FALL OUT/BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS RUNNING OR TRAVELING. THIS IS EXTREMELY ALARMING. THIS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. THERE WAS NEVER ANY COMMUNICATION WITH ME AFTER THE FIRST COMPLAINT ON 5/29/2018. I NEED HELP WITH THIS, AND WILL KEEP ESCALATING SINCE THIS MATTER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR AN INVESTIGATION.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP IT IS AN INFLATOR CODE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A $1,200 REPAIR. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE SEATBELT WAS REPLACED. SOMEDAYS MY LIGHT IS ON, OTHERS IT IS NOT. THERE IS A RECALL AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN BUT MY CAR IS "NOT IMPACTED" THAT IS UNTRUE. IT ABSOLUTELY IS. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTING THE SAME CODES AS THOSE IN THESE BULLETINS AND RECALLS AND IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT HONDA'S EXPENSE, NOT MINE. FURTHERMORE, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED BEFORE THE END DATE OF THE RECALL (I DID NOT OWN IT THEN) AND NOW THAT I OWN IT I AM TOLD IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE. I CONTEST, THE ISSUE IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN 2018 AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS ISSUED. THIS TOO SHOULDE BE REPLACED AT HONDA'S EXPENXE NOT MY OWN. THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT WILL WHEN MOVING, ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT. THE SUN VISOR DOES NOT GO OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. THIS TOO HAPPENS ANYTIME, ANY WHERE, AT ANY SPEED, AND ON ANY ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE ACCELERATED THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND "T-BONED" THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE MINOR INJURIES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DEALER (MARTIN HONDA (298 EAST CLEVELAND AVE, NEWARK, DELAWARE 19711, (302) 738-5200) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017 PER AN UNKNOWN TAKATA RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 132,000.

AS MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ENTERING THE CAR, HE HADN'T EVEN SHUT THE DOOR COMPLETELY . WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEARD A LOUD BOOM! MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I COULDN'T SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED . AND WHEN I TURNED TO MY HUSBAND'S SIDE HE WAS REALLY HURT ON HIS ARM. THE AIR BAGS FROM THE DRIVER SEAT DEPLOYED AND ALSO THE CURTAIN AIR BAG FROM THE DRIVER SEAT. IT WAS AWFUL MY EARS WERE HURT. MY HUSBANDS WHOLE ARM IS BRUISED UP AND SWOLLEN . THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED . THE VEHICLE HAS NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE TO SAY IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF WORKED DONE. WE WERE JUST GETTING INSIDE OUR CAR AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED OUT OF NO REASON WHAT SO EVER.

THE ENGINE BLOCK ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC CRACKED, AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN TODAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER FROM RUNNING ERRANDS AND IT JUST DIED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. JUST GOT THE CALL SAYING THE BLOCK IS CRACKED, THAT IT MEANS A NEW ENGINE, THAT THERE WAS A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, BUT THAT I'M OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. HONDA KNOWS CERTAIN YEARS OF CIVICS HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT THOSE OF US WHOSE CIVICS MADE IT LONGER BEFORE THE DEFECT KILLED THE ENGINE NOW BASICALLY HAVE SCRAP METAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IMMACULATELY MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS.

"VEHICLE SHUDDER PROBLEM" I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A JOLTING/SHUDDERING ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2013. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WITH THE STEERING VIBRATING BEFORE MOVING. ON A SNOWING OR RAINING DAY, SOME SKIDDING OCCURS WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES. IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS IN SOME ASIAN COUNTRIES, I WOULD ENCOURAGE SIMILAR RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FROM HONDA. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE @ 1-800-999-1009 THIS MORNING, AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO SHUDDER RECALL AT THIS TIME. IT WOULD BE DESIRABLE IF THE ADMINISTRATION COULD LIAISE WITH HONDA. WE SHOULDN'T REALLY WAIT UNTIL THERE IS FATALITIES BEFORE AN ACTION IS TAKEN. LET'S SAVE LIVES!

THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS A HAIRLINE CRACK AND THEY WONT COVER IT AS IT IS OVER THEIR "10 YEAR MARK " I AM A SECOND OWNER AND I BOUGHT THE CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION. FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS LATER, AND I DO ALL OF MY MAINTENANCE, AND I WAKE UP AND THERES COOLANT ALL OVER MY GARAGE FLOOR. AND WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL IT SEEMED SLIMEY. I TOOK IT IN TO HONDA TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAIDSINCE I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY ARE WILLING TO COVER 60% OF THE COSTS WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $3200 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FOR A DEFECT THAT WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING. I COULD REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE MYSELF FOR $1000. BUT ITS NOT MY PROBLEM. REGARDLESS OF THE MILES (170K) IVE HAD FORDS AND OLDER HONDAS THAT REACH WELL OVER 300K MILES AS LONG AS YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.
