2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

IT'S BEEN GOING THROUGH TIRES QUICKLY. BACK WHEELS CONVERTED TOP SIDE INWARD. HAD TO CHANGE WHEEL BERING. FIXING TO REPLACE UPPER ARM CONTROL ARM. IT HAS 65614 MILAGE ON IT.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSWOMAN FOXX ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. *JB

TAKATA RECALL: I JUST CHECKED THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL VIN LIST AND FOUND MY DAUGHTER'S CAR LISTED. I PROCEEDED TO DOUBLE CHECK AT HONDA WEBSITE TO CONFIRM. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. I CHECKED THEN CHECKED WITH HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY SAID THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER. THIS IS UNSAT. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER YET, BUT A VEHICLE IS RECALLED THE PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE NOW! THIS IS DANGEROUS RECALL.AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CAR COMPANIES ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET, AND HOPING DRIVERS WILL JUST FORGET ABOUT THE TIME BOMB IN THEIR CAR. LET'S HOLD THEIR FEET TO TO FIRE, NHTSA!

ON 8-14-15 NOTICED RIGHT HEADLIGHT OUT; MAY HAVE BEEN OUT BEFORE THAT. SHOP REPLACED IT ON 8-14-15. IT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS. NOTICED IT ONLY LATER AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO SHOP 3/14/16; NO TICKET WAS DONE. HONDA GUY PUT HAND BEHIND LIGHT AND SAID "THE CONNECTOR WASN'T TURNED ALL THE WAY." LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS. AFTER TALKING TO MANAGER, DROPPED IT OFF 5/23/16, MANAGER ARRIVED LATER; HE AND OTHER STAFF DENIED LIGHT WAS OUT WHEN THEY TOOK THE CAR. THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON (THEY MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING.) THE LIGHT STAYED ON ONLY FOR ONE DAY. NEXT DAY LIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN. ONCE IT'S OUT, IT STAYS OUT UNTIL A WORKMAN DOES SOMETHING TO BRING IT BACK ON. WITHOUT THIS LIGHT, I CAN'T PASS STATE INSPECTION; MOREOVER, IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON RAINY DAYS OR AT NIGHT BECAUSE CARS DON'T SEE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. HONDA PUT THE LIGHT ON AND MADE ME PASS THE INSPECTION, BUT THEIR REMEDY IS ONLY TEMPORARY.WHY DOESN'T HONDA FIX THIS PROBLEM? WHY DO THEY TELL ME IT'S BEEN ON WHEN THEY GOT THE CAR, WHEN I KNOW IT'S BEEN OUT? I DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO THE SHOP IF ALL THEY DO IS LIE AND NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I NEED TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE 2007 RECALL ON CIVIC HYBRIDS FOR "DC-DC CONVERTER DIODE". THIS FAILURE WILL CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN OFF, AMONG OTHER MORE RISKY THINGS, AS THE PROBLEM DEVELOPS. I DID NOT ASK THEM ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC RECALL, BUT HONDA DENIED THAT THERE IS ANY RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION. PERHAPS THEY DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF REPLACING THE VOLTAGE CONVERTER FREE OF CHARGE. OTHER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT AND BEEN REPLACED REPEATEDLY SINCE AUG. 2015, AS MY RECEIPTS SHOW. BUT THIS HEADLIGHT IS NOT STAYING ON WHEN THEY PUT IT ON. ON 5-23-16 WHEN THEY LAST TURNED THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON, I DROVE IT ALL DAY AND IT WAS ON. BUT ON ANOTHER DAY, NOT SURE WHEN, IT WAS OUT AND HAS STAYED OUT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH GOES OFF AND ON AT A VARIABLE BASIS. TAKEN TO DEALER. DEALER COULD NOT FIGURE OUR PROBLEM. IMPACT IS ONE DOES NOT KNOW IF AIR BAG IS FUNCTIONAL OR NOT!

I'VE HAD/HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. MY BACK TIRES HAVE WORN VERY UNEVENLY OVER THE YEARS AND BECAUSE OF THIS CAR EATING TIRES I'VE REPLACED TIRES ALMOST EVERY 2 YEARS. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING SOUND WHEN DRIVING WHEN YOU MAKE A TIGHT TURN. I'VE ALSO HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY A/C. I'VE HAD THE BLOWER FAN STOP WORKING AND SOME COMPONENT RELATING TO IT REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY A/C RECENTLY STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AFTER IT SPIT OUT FROZEN FREON THROUGH MY VENTS. MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME MY FREON WAS EMPTY AND COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP. NOW I NEED TO THROW MONEY ($1400) AT THIS REPAIR AS WELL!...UPDATED 07/19/16 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND METAL FRAGMENTS EMITTED FROM THE AIR BAGS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

1. I SEE AIRBAGS WARNING IN MY CAR BUT IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST. 2. DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR IS NOT WORKING. 3. IN INITIAL YEARS, HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES SO MANY TIMES (ALMOST EVERY YEAR) - NO RECEIPTS ARE SAVED.

MY WIPERS WON'T PARK IN THE "PARK LOCATION" (THEY STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD) AND WHEN I PRESS THE SWITCH UPWARDS FOR ONE SWIPE, THE WIPERS WILL CONTINUE FOR MULTIPLE CYCLES AND THEN FINALLY STOP IN A RANDOM SPOT ON THE WINDSHIELD. OCCASIONALLY, ALL THREE SPEEDS ON THE SWITCH(HI,MED,LOW), ARE ALL THE SAME (LOW SPEED). HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. HAS BECOME A NUISANCE IN VERY LIGHT RAIN BECAUSE IT WILL CONTINUE ONCE THE WINDSHIELD IS DRY AND CAN BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VISIBILITY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER.

ERRACTIC POWER ON STARTING FROM A STOP. THE IMA SYSTEM SAYS IT HAS ASSIST POWER BUT THE CAR STARTS MOVING "VERY" SLOWLY AND THEN DRAINS THE IMA LIGHTS DOWN TO NOTHING. THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE GASOLINE ENGINE STARTS TO TO TAKE EFFECT AND GETTING UP TO SPEED, VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. AT OTHER TIMES THE IMS INDICATOR IS ERRATIC ON THE DASH BUT THE SYSTEM IS OKAY. THE LIGHTS WILL BE FULL UP AND SUDDENLY DROP TO NOTHING AND A FEW MINUTES LATER IT'S FULL AGAIN. I HAD JOE MORGAN HONDA CHECK IT OUT AND THEY EVEN ROAD TESTED IT WITH INSTRUMENTS ATTACHED AND IT CHECKED OUT OKAY (QUOTE FROM TYLER THE SERVICE REP. OF JOE MORGAN - 10-13-2015). ALL EXPERIENCES WERE ON FLAT GROUND DRY PAVEMENT AND GOOD CONDITIONS. THERE WERE CONDITIONS WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE SLOW ACCELERATION ON A GRADE (SMALL LIKE 5-15% MAYBE) AND THE RESULTS WERE EVEN WORSE.
