2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS I'VE HAD TWO INSTANCES WHERE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A GREEN LIGHT AND HAD TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, WHEN THE NEXT ONCOMING VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE FAR ENOUGH AWAY AND AT A SAFE DISTANCE, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND MAKE THE TURN AND MY HYBRID SYSTEM A.K.A. HONDA'S IMA (INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST) WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL TO ENGAGE, LEAVING ME WITH ALMOST NO ACCELERATION POWER. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A LAWNMOWER. THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPORTIONATELY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE UPHILL IN DOWNTOWN TACOMA, WA AS IT STARTS ROLLING BACK EVEN WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A SB-10051509-6014 ISSUED FOR MY SPECIFIC MODEL, WHICH IN EFFECT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AND MY VIN FELL UNDER THE SPECIFIED CRITERIA, IT WAS CANCELLED DUE TO A SALVAGE BRANDED TITLE (A FACT I DIDN'T NOT NOTICE UNTIL AFTER I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A PRIVATE PARTY). THIS ISN'T SIMPLY A WARRANTY ISSUE. THIS IS IN EFFECT A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION IN AN EMERGENCY. THE RISK IS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BY THE FACT THAT THE DRIVER MAKING THE LEFT TURN IS FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH IS COMING TOWARDS THE VEHICLE IN FULL SPEED. SHOULD A CHILD BE PRESENT IN THE REAR SEAT, IF THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE LEFT TURN AND VACATE THE INTERSECTION IN TIME, THE COLLISION COULD PROVE FATAL, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE HYBRID BATTERY PACK AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE WIRES ARE ALL CONNECTED RIGHT BEHIND THE REAR SEAT.

THE PAINT OF THE CAR IS PEELING OFF. FROM EVERYWHERE. THIS CAR IS BEING PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR LAST 4 YS. BEFORE THAT IT WAS PARKED IN GARAGE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. ON THE TOP IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SOME CHEMICAL REACTION. ON THE BUMPER , HOOD AND OTHER PLACES IT LOOKS LIKE THE COLOR IS PEELING AND IT SHOWS A WHITE SPOT. THIS CAR IS USED OT DRIVE ONLY FROM HOME TO WORK AND BARELY LONG DISTANCE.

TAKATA RECALL: I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING A HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT HAS FAILED TO HELP WITH MY RECALL. I CONTACTED THE HONDA OF SERRAMONTE WHEN I FIRST GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL IN OCTOBER 2016. SINCE THEN I HAVE CALLED TWICE AND THEY TOLD ME IT MAY TAKE A MONTH TO GET THE PARTS IN ONCED I HAVE ORDERED IT, WHICH I DID. I THEN CALLED AFTER ANOTHER TWO MONTHS AND THEY FORWARDED ME TO THE PERSON THAT IS IN CHARGE OF THE RECALL. SHE ONLY HAD A VOICEMAIL AND I LEFT ONE FOR HER. EACH TIME I CALLED, I GOT FORWARDED FROM PERSON TO PERSON AND NO ONE REALLY HELPING ME DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. EVERYDAY I'M DRIVING AROUND WORRIED THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH MY AIRBAG, HOW WILL I HAVE A RECORD OF REPORTING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. DEALERSHIP 485 SERRAMONTE BLVD COLMA, CA 94014 PHONE NUMBER (650) 758-4800

I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY CAR IS BEING RECALLED FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS. AS INSTRUCTED I TELEPHONED FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT HONDA ON JULY 24TH, JULY 27TH AND JULY 29TH 2016, AT THE NUMBER THEY GAVE ME THEIR LETTER. I DID NOT HEAR BACK, SO I LEFT SEVERAL MORE MESSAGES AND EMAILS, BUT STILL NEVER HEARD BACK FOR AN APPOINTMENT. IT HAS BEEN OVER SIX MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

AFTER ABOUT 4 YEARS THE PAINT FADED REALLY BAD ON THE ROOF AND HOOD. I TALKED TO HONDA ABOUT IT AT THE TIME AND THEY SAID THEY HAD HAD LOTS OF COMPLAINTS BUT THAT MY YEAR WAS NOT ONE THAT WAS COVERED. RECENTLY I WENT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY YEAR HAD BEEN COVERED BUT THAT TIME HAS RUN OUT. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE ADVISED PEOPLE IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE. SINCE I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED BY MY DEALER AND THEN LATER TOLD IT WAS AND TIME HAD RUN OUT.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS NO AVAILABLE SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY VEHICLE.
