2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BROKE OFF COMPLETELY. THE INTERNAL MECHANISM USED TO RAISE AND LOWER THE VISOR DOES NOT MOVE EASILY -- NOW, NOT AT ALL --CAUSING THE PLASTIC VISOR TO FALL APART. DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE IT, BUT IT IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPONENT. *JB

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC AND MICE KEPT COMING INTO THE VEHICLE VIA THE AIR DUCTS AND DEFICATING ALL OVER MY CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WASN OTHING THEY COULD DO. HANTA VIRUS HAS KILLED PEOPLE IN OUR AREA AND YOU CATCH THAT FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH MICE.. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. *AK

THE VISORS ON BOTH SIDES CONTINUE TO SEPARATE AT THE CONNECTION TO THE SHAFT. THE FAILURE RESULTS IN THE VISOR NOT RETURNING TO THE HEADLINER AND RESULTS IN A VISUAL OBSTRUCTION. ALTHOUGH HONDA HAS REPLACED NOW BOTH THE VISORS TWICE ON MY CAR, THE VISORS FAIL EVERY 6 MONTHS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THE UNITS NEED TO BE REDESIGNED.*AK

2006 HONDA CIVIC AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT HAD 36,929 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. DEALERSHIP FOUND WATER PUMP BROKE,CAUSING THE SERPENTINE BELT TO SNAP AND THE TENSION ROD TO BREAK. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS BEFORE THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN. VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP, SERPENTINE BELT AND TENSION ROD. DEALERSHIP FELT WATER PUMP SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN AT THIS MILEAGE. I WAS ADVISED LATER BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THAT HONDA HAD CASTING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE BLOCK. SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE BOSS, ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HONDA WAS THE SAME YEAR AND APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE. *AK
