2009 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

INTERIOR CENTER LED BRAKE LIGHT FAILED, RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT FAILED, ATOMIC BLUE PAINT ON ROOF AND EDGES OF REAR FENDERS AROUND TRUNK FADED AND CHALKY.

CLEAR COAT ON PAINT FAILED AFTER 3 YEARS. SUN VISORS FAILED AFTER 4 YEARS AND 35K MILES. MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED AT 5 YEARS AND 42K MILES.

HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE BATTERY ISSUES WITH THE 2009 CIVIC HYBRID BATTERIES AND HAS ISSUED A REPLACEMENT ORDER FOR THEM. THEY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SOME OF THE BATTERY ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY THE BATTERY CONTROL MODULE BUT REFUSE TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE COVERED REPAIR. IN THIS CASE, THE BATTERY IS OVERHEATING. THIS IS THE SECOND BATTERY IN A CAR THAT IS JUST OVER 5 YEARS OLD.

THE CENTER (INTERIOR) BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. ONLY AFFECTS EX MODEL LED LIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS UNSAFE AND COSTLY FIX. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE LIGHT ONLY OUT TO FIFTY OR SIXTY FEET. THIS REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ALMOST CONTINUALLY. THE LACK OF NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC SINCE JULY, 29TH 2009, I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE BODY FRAME BETWEEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND THE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW OF THINGS INCLUDING PEDESTRIANS AND VEHICLES, THIS IS WHEN I AM DIRECTLY LOOKING. I FEEL THE BLIND SPOT SIZE IS BEYOND DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE, I HAVE ALMOST HIT PEOPLE NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE THEY ARE IN JUST THE RIGHT SPOT TO BE BLOCKED OF VIEW THIS INCLUDES AN ENTIRE VEHICLE!! I FEEL THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE BODIES STYLES SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I NOTICE THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME I MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN I HAVE TO MOVE MY HEAD TO EACH SIDE OF IT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO ONE OR NO OBJECT THERE.

WIPER BLADES DON'T PARK THEMSELVES AND SOMETIMES STOP IN MIDDLE OF WIND SHIELD AND INHIBIT VISIBILITY. SOMETIMES WIPERS WILL TURN OFF ONCE TURNED ON. HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT AND NOW HANGS DOWN OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH 2009 AND EARLIER CIVICS; HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS A RESULT OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT.

HONDA CIVIC 2009 COUPE 1.8L A/T: CLICKING AND POPPING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS. EXAMPLE, LEAVING DRIVEWAY, BACKING UP AT SHOPPING MALL FROM PARKING SPACE AND TURNING WHEEL MAKING U-TURN. STARTED AFTER PURCHASE AT 57,000 MI. STILL DOES IT AT 162,000.

WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES WERE USELESS. I SLAMMED THE BRAKES TO FLOOR AND MISSED THE TAIL END OF CAR BY SWERVING IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD RECENTLY BROUGHT CAR IN TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND HONDA SAID THEY WERE OKAY AND NO NEED TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE. I DON NOT LIKE TO BRAKE ON A BUMPY ROAD BECAUSE THE BRAKES DO NOT DO WELL ON BUMPY ROADS. I TAKE CAUTION WHEN I HAVE TO BRAKE ON A BUMPY ROAD. BROUGHT CAR TO HONDA ON AUGUST 1, 2015 AND TOLD THEM CHANGE/FIX THE BRAKES. HONDA SAID THEY WERE GOING TO CHECK EVERYTHING. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS BRAKE ISSUE?
