2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

2006 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNSATISFACTORY CUSTOMER SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP WITH ISSUES IN REPLACEMENT OF AUTO TENSIONER PIVOT BOLT SERVICE BULLETIN 09-007. *M THE CONSUMER DID NOT BELIEVE THE TSB WAS COMPLETED AS INDICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONSUMER STATED THE OVERSIGHT, HAS LED TO A CATASTROPHIC MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED DISCOLORATION OF PAINT ON MY ROOF. IT COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I JUST NEVER NOTICED IT. TODAY WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, THE TECH ADVISED ME THAT HONDA HAD HAD A RECALL ON HONDA CIVICS AND OTHER MODELS TO COVER THE REPAINTING OF FADING AND/OR PEELING PAINT, CLEAR COAT, ETC., ON THE AFFECTED YEAR MODELS. I HAD NEVER BEEN ADVISED OF THE RECALL OR I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT IN SOONER.

UNEVEN AND RAPIDLY WEARING TIRES ON THE 2006 CIVIC. THESE UNEVEN TIRE PROBLEMS CAN QUICKLY TURN INTO BRAKING ISSUES AND ALSO LEAD TO DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VIBRATIONS, GIVING ME FITS WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

HELLO! A VERY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 06-09 HONDA CIVIC IS A TENDENCY FOR THE ENGINE BLOCKS TO CRACK. FREQUENTING ONLINE FORUMS AND WEBSITES, IT SEEMS A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED FROM LESS THAN 1,000 MILES TO UP TO 200,000 MILES. THAT BEING SAID, IT SEEMS THIS CAR IS A LITERAL TIME BOMB. THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS OF PEOPLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO RAPIDLY LOSE POWER TO ALL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A PROFOUND SAFETY HAZARD, NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL! THAT BEING SAID, HONDA ADMITTED THAT THE TENDENCY FOR BLOCKS TO CRACK WAS DUE A FAULTY CASTING PROCESS. THEY HAD ISSUES AN INITIAL 8 YEAR WARRANTY AND INCREASED THAT TO 10 YEARS. AS OF LATE, MANY CURRENT OWNERS HAVE STILL HAD THEIR BLOCKS CRACKED. ONLY THIS TIME, HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. AS SUCH, I WANTED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE AND HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO ALLEVIATE THIS MATTER. A CAR'S BLOCK UNDER NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND USE SHOULD NEVER CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL, LET ALONE RISK PEOPLE'S LIVES! EVEN IF A RECALL ISN'T ENFORCED, AT LEAST HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINES AND PLACE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

CLEAR COAT/PAINT STARTED PEELING ON ROOF AND NOW COVERS MORE THAN 50% OF THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK. THE CARE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC VIN# [XXX] THAT HAS A ENGINE BLOCK HAIR LINE CRACK. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME BASED ON THE VIN THAT I PROVIDED THIS VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY UNDER THE RECALL. SO WAS THIS JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A CRACK ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. THEY VEHICLE IS A DAILY DRIVEN CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN MY WIFE NOTICED A COOLANT SMELL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL. OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE LIGHT INDICATING AIRBAG FAILURE LIT UP, SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, SO WE WONDER WHY WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND WHY THIS MODEL YEAR WAS NOT RECALLED.
