2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS AND LEAKING COOLANT. OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC STARTED LEAKING FLUID ON 12/27/2017. THIS CAUSE TEMPERATURE TO BECOME RED WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT HOOD WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND 3 MONTH BABY. IT LOOKS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE FOUND OUT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS TO 10 YEARS BECAUSE OF KNOWN DEFECTS. UNFORTUNATELY, I EXPERIENCED THE DEFECT 14 MONTHS AFTER MY CIVIC'S 10 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. HONDA CORPORATE AND OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT WILLING TO HONOR AND FIX THIS DEFECT. THE WANT TO CHARGE $5,000 TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS. A CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT 11 YEARS OLD AND REQUIRE $5,000 REPAIR, AND POSE A RISK OF ENDANGERING A FAMILY WITH A NEWBORN SAFETY.

TAKATA AIR BAG FAILED RECALL! MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN HAS AN INFLATOR MALFUCTION LOCATED IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR THAT KEEPS THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AT ALL TIMES. IVE TAKEN IT TO VALLEY HIGH HONDA 2DIFFERANT OCCASIONS. 2009, 2016 THE DEALER SAID THEY WONT FIX IT, I SHOULD GO TO PICK A PART. HONDA AMERICA ALSO TOLD ME THEY WONT FIX IT. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! THE BAGS ARE NOT IN WORKING ORDER DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ON AND WILL NOT DEPLOY IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! I THOUGHT SAFETY WAS #1 PRIORITY FOR HONDA? I HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTATION SHOWING MY MULTIPLE VISITS. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN TRAVEL IN THIS CAR DAILY. I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP FIXING THIS SO MY FAMILY WILL BE PROTECTED IF IN AN ACCIDENT.I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT THE DEALER SAID ITS NOT COVERED. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER RECEIVING AN AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT CARD IN THE MAIL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM VALLEY HIGH HONDA IN 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER. I WAS TOLD IT WASNT IN ONE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SAME DEALER THAT THE INFLATOR WIRING WAS DAMAGED AND CAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE INFLATOR SWITCH AND THAT I WAS AT FAULT. ? I RECENTLY HAVE MOVED AND DONT HAVE ALL MY DOCUENTS READILY AVAILABLE, SO I HAVENT ATTACHED THEM YET. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEGAN COMING ON SHORTLY AFTER OR NEAR THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE OF THE CAR. I WILL SEND OR ATTACH MY LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION/DOCUMENTS AS SOON AS I CAN GET SETTLED AND LOCATE IT.

I WAS IN A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE HEATED. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND FOUND OUT THAT THE COOLANT/ ANTIFREEZE HAD BEEN DEPLETED COMPLETELY. I REPLENISHED IT. LATER DIAGNOSIS RESULTED IN IDENTIFICATION OF CRACK FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. MY 2007 CIVIC HAD GONE OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THEIR EXTENDED 10 YEARS. IT HAS LOW MILEAGE OF 94000 MILES. THESE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS SEEM TO OCCUR IN HONDAS AT AROUND 90K TO 110K. SO FOR PEOPLE LIKE US WHO HAVE LOW MILEAGE, WE ARE NOT HELPED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN CHEATED. THE RECALL NUMBER IS A10-048

DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS. A DESIGN ISSUE THAT HAS MANY OWNERS REPAIRING (COST OF $800) MOUNTS AT 65-85,000 MILES. CAR VIBRATES AFTER THE CAR IS COLD ESPECIALLY WHEN IN REVERSE. AFTER ENGINE WARMS UP, THE VIBRATIONS DISSAPPEAR EXCEPT WHEN THE GAS IS RELEASED AND ENGINE BREAKING OCCURS. IF CLUTCH IS DISSENGAGUED THE VIBRATIONS DECREASE. THIS ISSUE IS AS COMMON AS THE VISOR PROBLEM FROM A COUPLE YEARS BACK AND IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW FROM THE FACTORY. ISSUE OCCURS OVER VEHICLE LIFE AFTER 65,000 MILES

GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL, WITH OUT WARNING, AUTOMATICALLY TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. IT'S THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. IT GOT ALOT WORSE. NOW IT WILL TURN THE STEERING WHEN I START THE CAR. THERE IS NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIKE CHECK ENGINE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. TURNING ALSO WAS HARD. IT WOULD STICK OR BE HARD TO STEER THEN WOULD FIGHT THE WAY YOU WANTED TO GO. HONDA HAS A OPEN CAMPAIGN ABOUT THIS PART THAT IS BAD FOR 150,000 OR 10 YEARS. BUT MY CAR HAS 94,000 AND JUST OVER 10 YEARS AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!

ENGINE BLOCK- ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED CAUSING MY TO LEAK FLUIDS AND HAVE MY CAR OVERHEAT INSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. HONDA ISSUES A TEN YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE BLOCK BUT MY CAR IS FIVE MONTHS PAST DUE OF THE WARRANTY. HONDA KNEW THAT ITS ENGINE BLOCK WAS FLAWED AND REFUSES TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

THE DESIGN OF THE HEAD RESTRAINTS FORCES THE HEAD AND NECK INTO AN ABNORMAL, UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. THIS HAS CAUSED PAIN AND INJURY TO MY NECK AS A RESULT OF DRIVING IN THIS POSITION. I WANT HONDA TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT HEAD RESTRAINTS WITH AN ALTERNATE DESIGN WHICH WILL ALLEVIATE THE BODILY STRESS CAUSED BY THIS AWKWARD POSITION. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2007. HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC AS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF CRACKS IN ENGINE BLOCK. OVER TIME, THE CRACK CAUSES COOLANT LEAKAGE, AND WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. OUR 2007 HAS 77,000 MILES, AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET. SMOKE WAS DETETED; NEXT MINUTE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT IS DOING ALL IT CAN TO AVOID A RECALL. THERE IS NO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE THAT COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS KNOWN MFG DEFECT.

"CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK" I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER AND JUST RECENTLY STARTING EXPERIENCING A COOLANT LEAK. AFTER A 35 MINUTE COMMUTE TO WORK, AS I GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE, I WOULD NOTICE A BURNT COOLANT SMELL. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND AS SOON AS I MENTION THE WORD COOLANT...MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 TO 2009 HONDA CIVIC'S THAT HAVE CRACK ENGINE BLOCKS WHICH CAUSES COOLANT TO LEAK OUT. I WAS FLABBERGASTED! I PURCHASED MY HONDA DUE TO THEIR REPUTATION OF RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY. HOW COULD THEY BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ONLY ISSUE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOT A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY SAID BASED ON MY VIN#, MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD BY 4 MONTHS AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. I FEEL THE NHTSA NEED TO FORCE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL ON ALL HONDA CIVICS BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2006 TO 2009 WITH CRACKED ENGINE BLOCKS. I HAVE READ IT WAS DUE TO POOR CASTING THAT CAUSED THESE ENGINE BLOCKS TO CRACK. HONDA WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE CALLS AND COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOLD MILLIONS OF THESE VEHICLES TO UNBEKNOWNST AMERICANS.

TAKATA INFLATORS WHEN I DRIVE THE HONDA CIVIC SI THE LIGHT OF THE AIRBAG IS ON ALMOS ALL THE TIME
