2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND SUDDENLY I FELT JERK AND CAR WAS SHAKING. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SUDDENLY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC HE TOLD ME IT IS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. SOI TOOK MY CAR TO TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. THE GUY TOLD ME THAT TRANSMISSION IS FAILED, YOU CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR. HE TOLD ME HONDA HAS PROBLEM REGARDING TRANSMISSION, SO I CALLED TO HONDA AND FILED A COMPLAIN, BUT THEY SAID WE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. YOU HAVE REPAIR YOURSELF.

ON NOVEMBER 4, 2013, I WAS DRIVING THRU AT A MCDONALD'S WHEN MY ENGINE STEAMED OVER, SPILLING ANTIFREEZE. I TOWED IT TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE AS I WAS AT LEAST 100 MILES FROM HOME. HE APPLIED A COOLANT PRESSURE TESTER TO THE RADIATOR AND FOUND A LEAK COMING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED BY HIM. I FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA UNDER THE RECALL TO GET MY MONEY BACK. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY THE CLAIM, EVEN THOUGH RECALL 10-048 FROM HONDA OFFERS TO REPAY CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR EXPENSE BY WARRANTY UP TO 8 YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE. AT THE TIME THE CAR WAS 7 YEARS, 1 MONTH OLD. I CLAIMED THIS TO HONDA IN AUGUST 2015, WAS DENIED IN SEPTEMBER, 2015, REASON GIVEN WAS THAT MY BROTHER IS NOT QUALIFIED AS A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE, BUT A COOLANT LEAK IS EASY TO FIND WITH A PRESSURE TESTER AND MY BROTHER HAS WORKED ON ENGINES FOR YEARS. I AM OUT $1700 FROM THIS REPAIR.

THE PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING ALL OVER THE HOOD AND SIDES OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT IS VERY UGLY!

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC START OXIDIZING AND PEELING AWAY 2 YEARS AGO. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST A SMALL SPOT AT THE BACK OF THE ROOF AND NOW IT IS MANIFESTING TO ALL OVER THE ROOF. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR 2007 CIVICS FOR PAINT PEELING AND I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. I FEEL AS HONDA IS MOST ASSUREDLY BEING DECEITFUL WITH THEIR CUSTOMERBASE AND CERTAINLY NOT TAKING CARE OF THEM AS THEY SHOULD. I FELT SAFE AND CONFIDENT PURCHASING A HONDA JUST KNOWING THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND KNEW I WOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES IN THE END. SILLY ME.

ENGINE TEMPERATURE GUAGE STARTED REGISTERING HOT, RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT OF ENGINE, VEHICAL WAS TOWED TO BOB SUMERAL TIRE,THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND ADVISED ME THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS DEFECTIVE. IT WAS REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR CAR RENTALS DURING THE REPAIRS, OWNER HAD TO ABSORB COST. 2 WEEK RENTAL TIME [419.65]

ON MY 2007 CIVIC EX, THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR POPPED OPEN AT THE PARTING LINE NEAR THE HINGE AND THE PLASTIC RIBS INSIDE BROKE. IT DOES NOT WANT TO SNAP BACK INTO PLACE IN ANY DIRECTION (FRONT, BACK, OR SIDE). IT HANGS SO LOW THAT IT IS BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD (FRONT WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW) AT ALL TIMES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA THAT IT IS NOT LISTED AS A SAFETY CONCERN...BECAUSE IT IS.
