I PURCHASED 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX FROM PERSON FROM TX. AND I LIVE IN LA.IT HAD BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT AND 73,000 MILES AND WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. AT 75,000 MILES I STARTED HEARING NOISE IN REAR END LIKE ROARING NOISE.EACH TIME I HAD IT SERVICE AT LOCAL HONDA DEALER THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID TIRES OR ALIGNMENT.THEY KNEW ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND TSB 08-001 BUT NEVER INFORMED ME ABOUT IT. IT TOOK ME 4 YEARS AND 2 WORN OUT $130 MICHELIN TIRES EACH TO FIND THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FROM MY BROTHER. THE HONDA DEALER SHOULD HAVE INFORMED ME ABOUT HONDA BAD DESIGN REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS EARLIER AND I COULD HAVE SAVED MYSELF 2 NEW TIRES AND LOTS OF HEADACHE. BUT I HAD IT FIXED AT LOCAL SHOP IN BOSSIER CITY ALIGNMENT SHOP FOR $560. NO MORE NOISE AND CAR RIDES LIKE NEW AND TIRES SIT STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW NOT COCKED OUT LIKE THEY DID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FRACTURED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

WAS DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HOME FROM SCHOOL AND SUDDENLY NOTICED COOLANT LEAK/SMOKE. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS RECALL FOR CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK BUT HAS SINCE EXPIRED AND NOW WANT $4500 TO REPAIR - MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR! I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S EVER AN EXPIRATION ON A RECALL. HONDA REALLY WANTS UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE OUT DRIVING WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM? THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO HAVE KNOWN THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM SINCE WHEN I CHECKED MY VIN #, NO OPEN RECALLS SHOWED UP (I GUESS SINCE IT WAS ALREADY EXPIRED WHEN I PURCHASED IT - JULY 2016 FROM USED CAR LOT). PRETTY DISAPPOINTING THAT A DEALERSHIP COULD SELL ME A CAR WITH A KNOWN RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME. I'M JUST 17 YEAR OLD STUDENT/ATHLETE, HARD- WORKING AND BOUGHT THE CAR WITH MY OWN $ AND NOW FEEL RIPPED OFF AND HELPLESS. I'VE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE AND PRIDE IN MY CAR SO THIS ISSUE IS DEVASTATING TO ME.

CENTER BRAKE LIGHT HAS BAD CONNECTION AND DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. I HAD A DIFFERENT 2006 CIVIC THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS AN LED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT IS FUNCTIONAL BUT THE CONNECTION IS BAD. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN BRAKING AT ANY SPEED. ONGOING PROBLEM.

MY DAD HAS DIED FROM INJURIES SUSTAINED FROM A CAR ACCIDENT, HE TOLD ME HIS CAR 2006 HONDA CIVIC ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN! THE CAR ACCELERATED AT HIGH RPM WHEN HE JUST WENT TO ACCELERATE. TO ENTER THE ROAD MAKING A LEFT, INSTEAD THE CAR WENT SO FAST WITHIN SECONDS, HE LOST CONTROL AND HIS HONDA PLOWED THREW A STOP SIGN, THEN WAS FINALLY STOPPED BY A STEEL POLE HOLDING UP A QUICK CHECK SIGN! HE SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE CHEST INJURIES! 3 BROKEN RIBS, 2 DROPPED LUNGS, FRACTURED STERNUM, FRACTURED C4 AND C7 SPINE INJURIES! HE DIED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE ACCERLAERTION OF THE VEHICLE RACING ON ITS OWN! MY DAD HAS ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH RECALLS AND HAS CAR LOGS AND MAINTENANCE LOGS, ETC. I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE NEVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS TRAGIC SUDDEN DEATH, DUE TO A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURER ACCELERATION, OR WHATEVER EQUIPMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ACCIDENT! IT'S A MFG DEFECT! PLEASE ADDRESS OR AT LEAST MAKE PUBLIC AWARE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM! THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A STATUS UPDATE. *JS
