2011 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THE SUN VISOR FALLS AND IS SPLIT AND DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS REDUCES MY ABILITY TO BLOCK THE SUN WHEN I AM DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AND SMOKE EMERGED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINAL BECAUSE IT WAS MELTING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 268,000. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A DRIVE THRU LINE, IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE STOPPED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK TO COMPLETELY STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED; HOWEVER, A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,600.

WHILE DRIVING I REACHED UP TO PULL THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN GLARE. AS THE VISOR CAME DOWN IT MADE A CRACKING SOUND. AFTER STOPPING AND PLACING VISOR BACK UP AN IN PLACE. I LEARNED IT HAD BROKE ON THE FIRST USE. NOW THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE AND SOMETIMES SWINGS AND RESTRAINS MY VIEW AS A DRIVER. THIS IS A ODD OCCURENCE, OR A DETECTED PRODUCT.

TAMARA RECALL: MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK. THE CAR L HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY 2 DIFFERENT MECHANIC'S

IS IT COMMON TO BRAKE AXLE? OR IS THERE ANY CHANCES TO BRAKE WHILE REPLACING WHOLE BREAKS(FRONT WHEELS)? I DID MY INSPECTION AND EMISSIONS LAST WEEK @ J L FREED. THEY WERE SOME RECOMMENDATION ABOUT BRAKE REPLACEMENT. I ASKED THEM TO GO FOR IT AND THEY REPLACED BRAKES AND PASSED INSPECTION AND EMISSIONS. VERY NEXT DAY, WHILE I PULL BACK MY CAR FROM DRIVE WAY AND SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT IT WAS MOVING FORWARD OR REVERSE. AT THE END, I DROPPED OF MY CAR(BY TOWED) BACK TO J L FREED, THEY SAID, SOME REASON AXLE IS BROKEN. I STATED THAT, IT MAY BE HAPPENED WHILE YOUR TECH WERE CHANGING FRONT BRAKES. THEY WERE NOT READY TO LISTEN AND DENIED THAT WE DIDN'T BRAKE IT. I PAID THEM TO REPLACE MY CAR AXLE BUT I WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT READY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES. PLEASE ADVISE.

2011 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL AND CONSUMER WAS DENIED A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE. *SMD *JS

MY VEHICLE'S REAR PASSENGER CAMBER IS SIGNIFICANTLY OUT OF SPEC, AND HAS BEEN AS SUCH AT LEAST SINCE 5/2/2014 / 35522 MILES. AS A RESULT, I HAVE EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON TIRES IN THAT POSITION. MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 81K. INDICATION FROM HONDA SERVICE IS THAT READ CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE ON MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE -- I PURCHASED IT 6/17/2016. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT PREVIOUS OWNER HAD 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT PERFORMED ON 5/2/2014 BY A HONDA SERVICE CENTER, WHICH DID NOT BRING REAR PASSENGER CAMBER INTO SPEC. WHILE IT APPEARS THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN 3YR/36K MILE WARRANTY, NO REPAIR WAS PERFORMED -- I DO NOT KNOW WHY. I CAN PROVIDE COPY OF THE REPAIR PAPERWORK. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM ON THIS ISSUE. I DID SO TO SEEK ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR COSTS SINCE THE ISSUE WAS PRESENT DURING ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD. THEIR RESPONDED THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP (I.E., WOULD NOT ASSIST IN REPAIR COSTS) SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE AS-IS AND WASN'T OWNER DURING THE TIME THE ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ALSO SAID THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALL CAMPAIGNS. ON A RELATED NOTE, I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2007 CIVIC GX WHICH EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IN THAT CASE, HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER CARE ASSISTED WITH DIAGNOSIS AND COST OF REPAIR. AFTER THEIR TECHS DISCUSSED WITH SERVICE MECHANICS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE'S REAR PASSENGER SPRING HAD FAILED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DONT ALWAYS WORK. I WILL PUSH ON THE HANDLE AND THE WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE. THIS IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD, IF ITS RANING HARD AND I CANT SEE WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES THERE IS A HUGE DELAY FROM PUSHING HANDLE AND WIPER BLADES ACTUALLY MOVING. SOMETIMES, THE WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. VERY DISSATIFIED WITH THIS HONDA. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF. HAPPENED DURING THE SUMMER. ONLY USED A FEW TIMES AND GOT WORSE BY EVERY USE. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON A NEWER CAR!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. BLARRING SUN IN MY EYES WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY. I HAVE NOTHING TO BLOCK OUT THE BLAZING SUN RAYS, EXCEPT SUN GLASSES, WHICH IS NOT SUFFUCIENT. HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED, AS THAT WOULD REQUIRE MISSING AN ENTIRE DAY OF WORK AND HAVING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. MANUFACTURING DEFECT!!! SAFETY HAZARD!!
