2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

HONDA RECALL.THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC [XXX], FOR THE VISORS FALLING DUE TO FAILURE OF INTERNAL SPRINGS THAT HOLD THEM IN PLACE, CAUSING OBSTRUCTION OF VISION AS WELL AS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, CURTTRIGHT HONDA IN ENID OK. I WAS TOLD THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. FOR REASONS UNKNOWN I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL, HAD I KNOWN I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTION IN A TIMELY MANNER. I WAS LATE RESPONDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE BUT WHY DOES AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES? THE RECALL WAS EXTENDED 7 YEARS BUT THAT EXTENSION HAS PASSED AS WELL. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED BUT I WAS NOT A PART OF IT. IS THERE ANYONE THAT COULD HELP ME GET THESE DEFECTIVE VISORS REPLACED? THANK YOU,FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY ASSISTANCE YOU COULD PROVIDE. [XXX].

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL # 16V-346 THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT AGAINST MY HONDA DEALERSHIP. RATHER, IT IS A QUERY OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE DEALERSHIP IS DUE TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR ON JULY 16. HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT DEFECTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHETHER THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE CORRECTLY. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE RECENTLY NOTIFIED OF COVERAGE IN THE AIRBAG RECALL AND RECEIVED THE INSTRUCTION TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE) REPAID HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THIS CAUSED ME TO NOTICE THAT THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR WAS NOT ILLUMINATING EVEN WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DANGEROUS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REMAINS ACTIVE EVEN WITHOUT A PASSENGER THERE. I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL CENTER AND SPOKE WITH A SUPERVISOR, MS. VANESSA ROBINSON, WHO TOLD ME MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING TO A DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR CHECKED. I THINK I CAN REASONABLY TAKE THE CAR'S USER DISPLAY AT FACE VALUE, SUGGESTING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO REMAIN ACTIVE, SUCH THAT HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE AN INTERIM MECHANISM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS PART OF THE RECALL. I AM PARTICULARLY CONCERNED GIVEN THAT WE USED OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN TEXAS FOR MANY YEARS, WHERE I UNDERSTAND THE CLIMATE INCREASES THE RISK FROM THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE, FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR A BURNING SMELL CHECKED COOLANT & WAS EMPTY REFILLED & PARKED CAR, NEXT DAY WENT TO DEALER ,SAID CRACKED HEAD GASKET KEPT OVERNIGHT THEN SAID COOLANT EVAPORATED SAID BURNING CAME FROM PLASTIC BACK ON EXHAUST I SAW THE TECH WHEN HE WAS WORKING ON MY CAR & HE SAID HAD CRACKED HEAD GASKET, THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME COPY OF DETAILED WORK ORDER JUST MY RECEIPT FOR CHARGES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 48 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING FROM THE HOOD AND OVERHEATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

REAR TIRES HAVE PREMATURE WEAR FROM INSIDE OUT AND WEARING FAST. CAUSING ALOT OF VIBRATION AS WELL.

SUN VISOR GLUE MELTS IN THE HEAT AND THE SUN VISOR STOPS FUNCTIONING AND CREATES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. ALSO, PIECES OF PLASTIC CAN FLAKE OFF AND FALL ON THE DRIVER, POTENTIALLY GETTING IN THE DRIVER'S EYE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH MY CIVIC, NOT LIMITED TO A SCATTERED TRANSMISSION (~110K), A LED BRAKE LIGHT GOING OUT (~90K), AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE 10-048 CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK (JUST RECENTLY).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT SMELLED ANTIFREEZE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000.

TAKATA RECALL WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY REFUSED A RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS . OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER ARE BEING REPLACED , BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE A HIGH MILEAGE CAR THEY REFUSE US . IS THIS TRUE AND IS IT LEGAL ?

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A CLICKING NOISE. BY THE TIME I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON. MY CAR THEN DIED AND SOON FOUND THE CAR HAD OVERHEATED. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK BUT WERE UNABLE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MORE THAN 8 YEARS SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS OFFERED FOR THIS PROBLEM.
