2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

MY CAR IS DARK PEARL BLUE. THE PAINT BEGAN PEELING ON TRUNK AND ROOFTOP OF CAR AROUND APRIL 2017. IT BEGAN AS WHITE CHALKY SPLOTCHES AND HAS GROWN. TODAY MOST OF ROOFTOP IS EXPOSED ALONG WITH TRUNK AND NOW TOPS OF DOORS STARTING TO PEEL. THE REPS AT MY DEALERSHIP STATED THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS PAINT. EVERYTHING I READ STATES HONDA USED CHEAPER PAINT ON CERTAIN YEAR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND PROVIDE OWNERS WITH PAINT JOBS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ONLY PULLED IN ODYSSEY VEHICLES AND NOT ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE.

HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT IN 2014 ON INTERSTATE 85 GOING THROUGH CHARLOTTE, NC. GOT STRUCK AT HIGH SPEED FROM BEHIND AND FRONT END STRUCK THE MEDIAN. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS DESTROYED. MY AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE CAUSING MY RIBS TO BE BROKEN.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. COGGIN HONDA OF FT. PIERCE (4450 SOUTH U.S. 1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982, (772) 621-5991) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. MY CAR ONLY HAS 127K MILES ON IT AND OUT OF NO WHERE I HAD COOLANT LEAKING AND MY CAR ALMOST OVER HEATED BECAUSE OF IT WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. II HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THAT'S HOW WE FIGURED OUT THE ENGINE WAS CRACKED. NOT ONCE DID I GET A CALL OR LETTER FROM HONDA INFORMING ME THAT MY CAR HAD A RECALL BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THEY WILL IN GOOD FAITH FIX MY CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD NEED TO GET DIAGNOSISED BY A HONDA DEALER AND MAYBE THEY CAN DO A SHARED COST BUT IT IS NOT GUARANTEED. NOT ONLY CAN THEY NOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL FIX IT BUT THEY WANTED ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR TO A DEALER? HOW IS THAT SAFE TO DO? US CONUSMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTED CAR THAT THEY BUILT! MY HONDA SHOULD STILL HAVE MORE LIFE TO IT AND NOT DIED OUT ON ME SO EARLY. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT JUST S REGULAR ONE.

COOLANT LEAKING AS DESCRIBED BY TSB 10-048 BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCK THAT CRACKED, PART NUMBER 10002-RNA-A00. HONDA DEALER IN DUBLIN, OHIO SAID HONDA CORPORATION WOULD ONLY PAY 25% OF COST TO REPAIR SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO.

DRIVER'S SEAT MOUNT IS BROKEN. WHEN RAISING OR LOWERING THE SEAT (MANUAL LEVER), ONLY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT MOVES. WHEN RAISED, LEFT SIDE OF SEAT IS HIGHER THAN RIGHT SIDE. ALSO SEAT DOES NOT FEEL ENTIRELY STABLE. (DATE IS APPROXIMATE, AS NO MVA OR OTHER INCIDENT CAUSED THIS.)

SEAT BELT LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOT ALL THE TIME. IT'S INTERMITTENT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVER TIME. I HAD THE AIR BAG CHANGED..AFTER THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED. DEALER SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY.

ANOTHER CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK (R18A1 SOHC 1.8L 4-CYLINDER I-VTEC ENGINE) HONDA CIVIC EX WITH 103,000 MILES. SERVICED REGULARLY WITH HONDA FLUIDS AND OTHERWISE WELL TAKEN CARE OF. BLOCK CRACK AND COOLANT LEAKAGE OCCURRED DRIVING IN URBAN TRAFFIC AT 40 MPH AND RESULTED IN A MODERATE RISE IN ENGINE TEMPERATURE IN TEN MINUTES WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS AT "H". SUBSEQUENTLY THE ENGINE HAS HAD A STEADY DRIP OF COOLANT RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN STARTED.

ME MANDARON UNA CARTA DE HONDA DICIENDO QUE MI AUTO TIENE MALA LA BOLSA DE AIRE Y SI TIENE LA LUZ ENCENDIDA Y DECIA QUE LO LLEVARA AL DEALER QUEBLO REPARARIAN GRATIS OK HAGO LA CITA LO LLEVO Y LES DIGO PORQUE VOY Y ME DICEN QUE PARA CHEKEARLO TENGO QUE PAGAR 120 DOLARES APARTE LO QUE CUESTE EL REPUESTO MI PREGUNTA ENTONCES ES QUE LO QUE ES GRATIS ??? TRANSLATION: 'THEY SENT ME A CARD FROM HONDA SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A BAD AIR BAG AND THAT IF IT HAS A LIGHT ON'IT SAYS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL REPAIR FOR FREE. OK I DID THE APPOINTMENT, TOOK IT IN, AND I TOLD THEM WHY I'M HERE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT FOR THEM TO CHECK IT I HAVE TO PAY $120 APART FROM WHAT IT COSTS TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS THEN WHAT IS FREE?'
