2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE TO GET THE BATTERY CHECKED. THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND THE MANAGER OF AUTOZONE TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY BUT THE ALTERNATOR NOT GIVING THE CAR ENOUGH POWER. HE TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT TO LONG OR I COULD GET STRANDED. I WAS NEAR A RELATIVES HOUSE, WHILE DRIVING TO MY RELATIVES HOUSE MY A/C AND RADIO WHICH WERE ON AT THE TIME TURNED OFF, AND SEVERAL LIGHTS OF THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. I WAS PANICKED BUT MADE IT SAFELY TO MY RELATIVES HOUSE. A MECHANIC CAME TO MY RELATIVES HOUSE, AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT-CIRCUIT, THE WIRES WERE BURNT AND CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO CRACK. THE MECHANIC SAID TO ME IN SHOCK THAT MY VEHICLE COULD HAVE EXPLODED. THE WIRES WHICH ARE 'THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS' HAD CAUGHT FIRE AT THE TIP WHICH CONNECTS TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE.

I NEVER GOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS SETTLEMENT CLAIM HTTP://SETTLEMENT-CLAIMS.COM/CONTROLARM/NOTICE.HTML 2 YEARS AGO. HONDA SERVICE FIRST FOUND A PROBLEM ON REAR CONTROL ARMS AND TIRE WEAR ON MARCH 12TH. WHY DIDN'T THEY NOTICE PROBLEM BEFORE MARCH 12TH? HONDA SERVICE GAVE ME A PRICE OF PARTS AND LABOR. IT'S $255 ON PARTS (CONTROL ARMS) AND $150 LABOR. UPDATED 12/21/2015*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON AND AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT. NO RECALL ISSUED TO FIX MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR FAULTY DESIGN, SAFETY ISSUE. KNOWN ISSUE AMONG HONDA CIVIC 2006 OWNERS.

WAS DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET GETTING READY TO TURN, DRIVER AIR BAG, PASSENGER CURTAIN, AND SIDE SEAT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THE SEAT BELT IS NO LONGER IN WORKING ORDER BECAUSE OF THIS...AND HERE WAS NO REASON FOR THESE TO DEPLOY, NO IMPACT TO ANYTHING WHATSOEVER. HONDA ASK ABOUT POT HOLES AND IF WE ENCOUNTERED ONE, NOTHING TO THE AT EFFECT EITHER. I WAS HIT IN MY CHEST AND STOMACH, PASSENGER WAS HIT IN ARM AND SIDE OF HEAD FROM THESE. I AM IN MY FIRST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY. BOTH MYSELF,THE FIREBRAND PASSING WENT TO DR. HONDA CORP WAS CALLED AND NOTIFIED, REGIONAL MANAGER CAME TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE CAR LOOKED AT. HONDA REP INSISTED THIS WOULD NOT JUST HAPPEN, BUT IT DID, AS I WAS IN VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER. AFTER HAVING CAR INSPECTED, THEY INFORMED US THEY IT WAS IMPACT RELATED. THERE WERE NO DAMAGES, DENTS OR ANYTHING TO SUPPORT THIS "THEORY". THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR EXCEPT WANT TO CHARGE ME A FEE FOR THIS SERVICE. THE ESTIMATE GIVEN TO TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE WAS $6,500.00. DID I FAIL TO MENTION THAT PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT WAS A SO CALLED "IMPACT". HONDA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO MAKE RESTITUTION IN ANY WAY, CLOSED OUR FILE AND LEFT US TO TAKE CARE OF IT. REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FRO A HONDA PRODUCT. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS FAILING IT IS FLARING. RPM RISES TO 6-7K RPM AND IT STILL AROUND 20-30 MPH. AND IT SLOWING INCREASING SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS, WHEN I AM TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC I DON'T HAVE THE ACCELERATION I MERGE ON HIGHWAY OR JUST GETTING ON A STREET. *TR

HOLE IN THE CONDENSER CAUSED BY SMALL PEBBLE PUNCTURING IT. THERE IS LITTLE PROTECTION IN THE GRILL OF THE CAR WHICH EASILY ALLOWS SUCH ROAD DEBRIS TO DAMAGE THE CONDENSER. THIS IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN ON THE CAR THAT SHOULD BE FIXED OR AT LEAST PUT UNDER WARRANTY.

VEHICLE CLEAR COAT HAS COME OFF LEAVING VEHICLE LOOKING RUSTED ON ROOF, TRUNK, DOORS, AND HOOD.

A FEMALE RAN A RED LIGHT SPEEDING AT 55 MPH IN A 30 MPH ZONE RIPPING OFF MY ENTIRE BUMPER PUTTING A DENT ON THE TOP OF MY HOOD ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND MY AIRBAG NEVER CAME OUT! BEFORE I SEEN ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE RECALLS, MY AIRBAG WARNING SIGNALS ALWAYS COME ON AND STAY ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME BEFORE THEY GO OFF AND THIS HAD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES!
