2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

HONDA PART#: 77900-SNA-A01 (METHODE) -OR- 77900-SNA-A02 (FURUKAWA) REEL ASSY, CABLE. WITH THE FAILURE OF THIS PART, VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO CONTROLS AND SRS AIR BAGS FAILED. THE CABLE REEL ASSEMBLY IS THE COMPONENT THAT MAKES THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FUNCTION BUTTONS AND AIR BAG ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE NON-ROTATING STEERING COLUMN. THE RIBBON CABLE INSIDE THIS MECHANISM WAS COMPLETELY SEVERED ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

DAMAGED AND FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS CAUSE EXCESSIVE RATTLING TO MOTOR/CAR. APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUES WHICH CAN LEAD TO FURTHER ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND EMITTING UNKNOWN NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

BOLT THAT CONNECTED TENSIONER, TO BELT SHEARED OFF. CAUSING VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION. CAR BECAME NOT DRIVABLE. MIGHT HAVE CAUSED INJURY AT HIGH SPEED, OR LOSS OF CONTROL. A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC, ACCORDING TO INTERNET COMPLAINTS! DESIGN PROBLEM? ONE OF THE MOST PREVALENT PROBLEMS REPORTED. *TR

I REPORTED TO HONDA DEALER THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT PARKING PROPERLY. OPEN ROAD HONDA CHARGED $62 FOR A "DIAGNOSIS FEE" AND REPORTED THAT A NEW MOTOR WAS NEEDED THAT WILL COST $374.41. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. IT WOULD SEEM THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *JS

FUEL PUMPS ARE LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF PUMP HOUSING AND ARE FILLING UP THE CUBBY HOLE THAT THEY SIT IN, WITH GAS. THIS PUMP HAS A ACCESS HOLE UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CARS, WITH SOME LEAKING ON THE GROUND. IT ALSO IS KNOW TO BE ON SOME ODYSSEY AS WELL. IF PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT THE FUMES COULD FILL THE AREA AND BE IGNITED BY A WATER HEATER OR SOME OTHER SOURCE. I HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THESE PUMPS OVER THE YEARS AND HONDA DEALERS ARE DOING THE SAME WITH NO CONCERN THAT THEY ARE A DEFECT AND COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK. *TR

DURING OCT 2013 I BEGAN TO SEE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COME ON SPORADICALLY. ASKED THE HONDA DEALER TO INVESTIGATE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS NOT ON ALL THE TIME. I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT I USE AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID $2289.17 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND HARNESS. I WANT HONDA TO VERIFY THE CURRENT AIRBAGS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL, I WANT HONDA TO VERIFY THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY AIRBAG REPLACEMENT DUE TO A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT HONDA IGNORED WHEN I RAISED THE ISSUE AT THEIR REPAIR FACILITY IN TARRYTOWN NEW YORK. I HAVE ALSO WRITTEN TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO, INC IN TORRANCE, CA. AND AM AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE.

THE PAINT STARTED COMING OFF THE TOP OF THE CAR, AND NOW IT HAS COME OFF THE HOOD AS WELL. THE CLEAR COAT WENT FIRST THEN THE PAINT. *TR

A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS PURSUED AND SETTLED WITH HONDA CORPORATION IN DECEMBER 2013 RELATED TO UNEVEN/EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON 2006 HONDA CIVICS. IT WAS RELATED TO FAULTY CONTROL ARMS. I MISSED THE DEADLINE TO FILE A CLAIM (JANUARY 16, 2014), BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT. MY CIVIC HAS HAD 3 SETS OF TIRES SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2006. 2 TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 32,261 MILES, THEN 2 MORE AT 39,399MILES. AFTER THAT 4 TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 55,750 MILES, AND THEN 4 MORE AT 72,450 MILES. RAPID WEAR OCCURRED BETWEEN 39,399 - 55,750 MILES, AND 55,750 - 72,450 MILES. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM AT NO COST AND PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR TIRES THAT HAVE WORN TOO RAPIDLY. *TR

DEFECTS IN REAR SUSPENSION CAUSE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. AFTER ROTATING THE TIRES, THE FRONT WHEELS VIBRATION MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. *TR
