2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

2006 HONDA CIVIC EX FACTORY/HONDA DEALER INSTALLED FOG LIGHTS FOG LIGHTS LENS BREAKAGE (3 OCCURRENCES SINCE AUGUST 2006 WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM HONDA NEW) THE LENS FOR THE FOG LIGHTS IS MADE OF NON TEMPERED GLASS WITH NO PROTECTIVE COVERING. THE GLASS BREAKS FROM ROAD DEBRIS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE FACTORY INSTALLED FOG LIGHTS HAVE BROKEN 3 TIMES FROM IMPACTS OF ROAD DEBRIS. THE GLASS WAS NOT MADE TO WITHSTAND ROAD DEBRIS ON PAVED ROADS. WE DO NOT DRIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS! *TR

THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 26,368. WE WENT ON A TRIP WITH THE CAR AND ON THE WAY WE NOTICED IT WAS LEAKING ANTIFREEZE SO WE TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP ON 5/26/7. THEY REPLACED THE SMALL ENGINE BLOCK AND TOLD US THAT IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK ON 6/11/7. THEN ON 7/2/7 WE WENT TO VISIT A RELATIVE ABOUT 60 MILES AWAY AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN YOU TURNED AND THE CAR KEPT TRYING TO STALL. MILEAGE AT TIME 27,785. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT, REPLACED THE WATER PUMP PULLEY AND REMOVED BROKEN PORTION OF THE TENSIONER BOLT FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK AND RETAPPED HOLE. WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK ON 7/9/7. ON 1/5/8 THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND ONCE AGAIN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, MILEAGE AT TIME 38,897. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE TENSIONER BOLT BROKE AND THEN IT MADE THE TENSIONER HIT THE WATER PUMP PULLEY AND GRINDED BOTH OF THEM TO EACH OTHER. THEY REPLACED THE BELT TENSIONER/PULLEY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AT APPROXIMATELY 7,000 MILES DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR. THE CONTACT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,800.

IN AUGUST OF 2006, I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC FROM BOB HOWARD AUTOMALL IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THIS CAR WAS FLAWED FROM THE BEGINNING AND HONDA AMERICA KNEW IT AND DID NOTHING TO LET ANY CONSUMERS KNOW ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THE FLAW IN THE CAR IS THAT THE REAR AXLE IS FLAWED AND IS CAUSING TIRES TO WEAR ABNORMALLY, THUS CAUSING FLATS AND BLOWOUTS THAT CONSUMERS ARE UNAWARE OFF. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO FIX AND HONDA IS UNWILLING TO WARRANT ANY OF THE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE THAT THEIR MISTAKE HAS CAUSED. THIS CAR THAT WE OWN HAS HAD TWO BLOWOUTS ON THE REAR TIRES AND ADDITIONAL DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED WHEN WE HAD TO JUMP CURBS TO GET OUT OF THE CITY TRAFFIC FLOW. NOW HONDA AMERICA WANTS TO KEEP THIS FLAW QUIET AND LET CONSUMERS FOOT THE BILL FOR TIRES AND ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS FLAW FROM THE MANUFACTURE HAS CAUSED. HONDA STILL HAS NO FIX AND EXPECTS CONSUMERS TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. CHEERS AND CONCERNED CITIZEN*CN

WHEN SHIFTING FROM D TO R, ENGINE BEGINS TO REV UP RAPIDLY. SHIFTING TO N, DOES NOT HELP-ONLY SHIFTING INTO PARK-STOPS THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION FROM RAPIDLY ACCELERATING.*CN

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE A/C WAS NOT THROWING COOL AIR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN BRANDON FL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONDENSER TO THE A/C WAS DAMAGED DUE TO A ROAD HAZARD, SOMETHING STRIKING IT THROUGH THE GRILL. MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR BILL THAT I PAID WAS OVER $400.00. MY CONCERN WAS ADDRESSED TO A DISTRICT MANAGER, HE STATED THAT DUE TO A ROAD HAZARD HONDA WOULD NOT PAY. I BELIEVE THAT A POOR DESIGN FEATURE BY THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD NOT COST ME. *TR

I WAS THE DRIVER OF A 2006 HONDA CIVIC AND WAS STRUCK IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND RECEIVED A HEAD INJURY REQUIRING SIX STAPLES. NO AIRBAGS EVER DEPLOYED. *TR

1ST GEAR LOCKS OUT ON A DEAD STOP, WHICH MEANS IF I WERE ON A HILL, I WOULD TRY TO GO INTO 1ST GEAR, AND INSTEAD OF GOING INTO FIRST, I ROLL BACK AND HIT WHATEVER IS BEHIND ME IF I CANNOT CATCH IT IN TIME. 3RD GEAR KICKS BACK AND GRINDS, WHICH MAY LEAD TO BEING REAR ENDED IF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME DOES NOT NOTICE THIS. *TR

THE THIRD GEAR IN THE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE UNDER HIGHER RPMS CAUSING GRINDING AND A MIS-SHIFT. CAUSES MAJOR WEAR ON THE GEARS AND SYNCHROS. DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND IS CLAIMING IT IS THE DRIVERS FAULT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC SI. THE TRANMISSION HAS HAD PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR. ON MANY OCCASIONS THE SHIFTER HAS POPPED OUT OF THIRD GEAR WHILE DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED SOME FLUID AND HOPED IT WOULD FIX IT. IT DIDN'T. IT'S BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE THEN, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I HOPE HONDA CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM SAFE. *TR
