2007 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION ACCIDENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HEARD A LOUD REVVING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR STARTED TO GETTING STUCK AND LOOSE BEFORE COMPLETELY FALLING OFF THE HINGE. *TR

I AM HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH MY SIDE CURTAIN DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WHEN IT RAINS. I SPOKE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WANT TO TAKE APART MY WHOLE CAR AND BOTH ALSO SAID COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. IT APPARENTLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANT BECAUSE IT IS A WATER LEAK BUT THAT IS UNFAIR. IT IS MOST LIKELY DESTROYING MY AIR BAG AND THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. HONDA CORPORATE TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE AND THAT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. *TR

I WAS ADVISED BY HONDA NORTH IN CLOVIS, CA, TO REPLACE THE OPDS SENSOR AND THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT WHICH SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. IT DID NOT! I SPENT $697.87 FOR THIS REPAIR AT VISALIA HONDA ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT RESET THE AIR BAGS. I WAS THEN TOLD THE SRS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESET THE AIR BAGS. THE QUOTED COST TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS $450.00. ALSO, I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA'S SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], THAT THEY HAD NO WAY OF DETERMINING WHY THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COMING SO REPAIRS WERE BEING MADE IN SOME KIND OF PECKING ORDER. THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED WITH AMERICAN HONDA PROVIDING THE PART WHILE I PAID $221.54 FOR THE LABOR. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN AUGUST 2014 AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA THAT THE CABLE REEL HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $413.00. THE CABLE REEL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEIR 2007 CIVIC BUT YET AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND IT GOES INTO A SHIFT GEAR IT TUGS BACK AND FORTH THAN IT KICKS IN, IN ONLY DOES IT AT CERTAIN SPEED THAN IT STOPS. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE ANY RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IF ANY REPAIRS ARE BEING DONE OR HAVE BEEN DONE. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL JUST BREAK APART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND CAUSE SOME PILEUP AND MY LIFE OR OTHERS MAY BE IN DANGER. *TR

REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY CAUSES UNEVEN, RAPID TIRE WEAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2007 FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT SERVICED BY THIS DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN. A SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 WAS ISSUED 1/22/08, BUT I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 8/18/14 ABOUT THIS. THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE COMPRESSOR AND THE BATTERY FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WHICH REQUIRED FURTHER DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER WAS WAITING FOR INSTRUCTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,500.

ORIGINAL REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS (OEM) NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO KNOWN CAMBER MISALIGNMENT FROM FACTORY. THIS WELL-KNOWN ISSUE FROM HONDA (ON 2006 - 2009 CIVICS) CAUSES UNEVEN WEAR AND SHORTENS THE LIFETIME OF TIRES. THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE TO BRING THE ALIGNMENT SPECS (CAMBER) BACK INTO A SAFE RANGE IS TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND TIRES. *TR

SUNVISORS: THE SUN VISORS ON THIS CAR FELL APART WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THEM. EITHER THE VISOR COMPLETELY FELL OUT OR THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION/DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2008 MODELS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR AS WELL. *TR
