2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

RECENTLY THOUGHT MY CAR SOUNDED LOUDER THAN USUAL UPON ACCELERATION AT 40 MPH AND ABOVE BUT DIDN'T' SEEM TO BE FROM ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION AND I WASN'T TOO SURE IF IT ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE THAT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR ABS REAR WHEEL SENSOR O-RING INSPECTION, WHICH SAID IT COULD AFFECT MY REAR WHEEL BEARINGS IF THE 0-RING WAS DEFECTIVE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS INSPECTED AND THEY ALSO NOTICED THE NOISE AT 40 MPH & ABOVE. THEY DID TELL ME I NEEDED TO HAVE MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED, BUT THE CLERK SAID THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL I JUST HAD CHECKED. SO I ASSUME THAT SINCE MY FRONT (NOT BACK) WHEEL BEARING IS DEFECTIVE, THIS IS A SEPARATE ISSUE & HASN'T YET BEEN RECALLED. I SET UP AN APPT. TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ON 10/16/07. *JB

I BOUGHT MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2005, PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR SHORTLY AFTERWARDS FOR INSTANCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD A MALFUNCTION AND RECALLED THE DEALER DIDN'T FIX IT THE FIRST TIME, VERY INCONVENIENT, BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT AS WELL BECAUSE COULD FALL OFF AND CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HONDA SERVICE TO GET PROBLEMS FIXED AND NUMEROUS TIMES, BEEN TOLD THAT ITS NORMAL OR SOME OTHER ?!@#$% THEY ALWAYS GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND,THE SERVICE PEOPLE ARE RUDE, MEAN AND INCOMPETENT AND IGNORANT. I HAVE TAKEN MY 06 CIVIC IN A TOTAL OF 8-10 TIMES NOW TO FIX PROBLEMS THEY NEVER FIX ANYTHING! INTERIOR TRIM IS POOR/POOR ALTERING FROM THE FACTORY, PANELS LOOSE AND POPPING OUT INTERIOR SCRATCHES TOO EASILY/FRAGILE CHEAPLY MADE ?!@#$% (STILL), FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WONT RETRACT ALL THE WAY BACK ANYMORE LIKE IT USED TO (NEW) WEATHER STRIPPING IS LIFTING UP BY FRONT WINDSHIELD (STILL) VARIOUS RATTLES FROM INTERIOR (STILL), UNDERCOATING/UNDER BODY SPRAY FROM FACTORY IS PEELING COMPLETELY OFF (NEW) DOOR PANEL FLEXES AND RPMS RISE WHEN USING WINDOWS/NOW SEEMS TO ROLL UP/DOWN SLOWER THAN BEFORE (STILL/NEW) KEEP IN MIND IM ONLY AT 11,000 MILES TOO! HONDA AND TOYOTAS QUALITY IS GOING DOWNHILL VERY FAST ESPECIALLY WITH THE CIVIC, CRV, RDX, MDX, CAMRY, TUNDRA, HIGHLANDER, LANDCRUISER, YARIS, AND RAV4. THE LAST YEAR BEFORE THE REDESIGN OF THESE VEHICLES THE QUALITY WAS GREAT, NOW IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA ARE EITHER TEAMING UP TOGETHER OR COMPETING TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE THE CHEAPEST AND ?!@#$% VEHICLE WITH CHEAPLY MADE MATERIALS AND TAKING SHORTCUTS, CHANGED A SUPPLIERS OR SOMETHING, THESE PROBLEMS ARE UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX IN FOR A/C REPAIR TO THE HONDA DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS APPARENTLY HIT BY A ROCK THAT PUT A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER, CAUSING THE FREON TO LEAK OUT. THIS ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND WILL COST ME OVER $500. THEY TOLD ME TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS OF HONDAS. HONDA SHOULD COME FORWARD AND DO A RECALL DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR. IF THIS VERY SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO THAT MANY HONDA CUSTOMERS, THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

ON 8/24/07 MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH ONLY 12,107 MILES ON IT BEGAN MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE. TWO MINUTES LATER THERE WAS A NOISE, POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND CAR STALLED. DEALER SAID THE WATER PUMP AND PULLEY BROKE, AND THEY WERE BOTH REPLACED. PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED, HOWEVER, AND I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR OVER A WEEK. THE DEALER SAID THEY HADN'T SEEN MUCH OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE FACT THAT THE PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED INDICATED TO THEM THAT THIS TYPE OF REPAIR WAS A PROBLEM. *TR
