2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR....CUPPING. HONDA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE REAR CONTROL ARMS BEING FAULTY. *TR

PAINT ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE (BLACK) FADING, CHIPPING, OXIDIZING SAME AS NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND SEVERAL OTHERS. THE WEAR ON THIS PAINT IS NOT "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" FOR A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, NOR IS IT A RESULT OF INADEQUATE WAX, MAINTENANCE, ETC. THIS IS A DEFECT WHICH HONDA SHOULD FIX. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LOW QUALITY THIS VEHICLE IS REFLECTING ON HONDA PRODUCTS. *TR

THE CAR OVERHEATED AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK THAT HONDA ADMITTED IS A DEFECT OF THIS MODEL CAR BUT THEY ARE ONLY COVERING REPAIR FOR PEOPLE WHO COME IN WITH A PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WITH A NEW ONE. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH SINCE THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND PAID APPROX. $380 FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INITIAL PROBLEM. LESS THEN AN HOUR AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS DUST ON A SENSOR DO TO THE WORK THEY DID. THEY CLAIMED TO REPAIR IT FOR NO CHARGE. THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT FOR 20 MILES WITH NO PROBLEM. AGAIN WITHIN AN HOUR OF GETTING THE CAR BACK THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR A 4TH TIME. *TR

AFTER HAVING THE IMA BATTERY REPLACED ON MY 2007 CIVIC HYBRID AND GETTING THE SOFTWARE UPDATED, MY CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR ALMOST 6 YEARS WITH NO ACCELERATION ISSUES AND NOW THE ENGINE REVS VERY HIGH IN ORDER TO PROVIDE EVEN LIMITED ACCELERATION POWER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THE CAR CHECKS OUT FINE AND AFTER CALLING HONDA WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, WHEN THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ONLINE ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IMA BATTERIES AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED THEY RECEIVED SIMILAR RESPONSES FROM HONDA WHEN REPORTING SUCH ISSUES, SO SOMETHING IS CLEARLY NOT RIGHT HERE. *TR

DESIGN FAILURE OF THE REAR CONTROL ARM THAT IS TOO SHORT RESULTING IN IMPROPER CAMBER SETTING CAUSING ABNORMAL WEAR OF REAR TIRES.... EXCESSIVE WEAR ON INSIDE OF TIRES AND CUPPING. 2 SETS OF TIRES IN 43000 MILES. HAD TO REPLACE WITH AFTER MARKED "ADJUSTABLE" CAMBER ARMS. *TR

AIR BAG WAS INOPERATIVE DUE TO CRIMP IN WIRE HARNESS ON PASSENGER SIDE. THERE WAS A HONDA BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM THAT EFFECTED SIMILAR MODELS. I PAID $1300 TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG WIRE HARNESS DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP. IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAD TO BE CORRECTED. I CONTACTED HONDA FOR REIMBURSEMENT, WHICH HONDA REFUSED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND BEGAN TO SHAKE AS SOON AS IT WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 04-05-13 *BF

THE TIRES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC KEPT SHOW BAD WEAR AND HAD TO ROTATE EVERY 10,000-15,000 UNTIL COULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE, BOUGHT SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES:: SOLVED THE PROBLEM BUY PAYING ALMOST $900 TO FIX THE ARMS ON THE REAR END. SAID THING IS HONDA KNEW AND KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT WONT DO A RECALL... GOOD NEWS IS AFTER ALL MY SETS OF TIRES AND $900 DOLLARS MY CAR IS NOW GETTING GOOD WEAR OUT OF THE TIRES. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC WEAR OUT REAR TIRES EXTREMELY FAST, CAUSING LOUD VIBRATIONS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON IF WE HIT A SMALL POTHOLE. IT WOULD STAY ON SOMETIMES UNTIL THE KEY WAS CYCLED AND SOMETIMES FOR MORE THAN A DAY. AFTER THIS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG HAD A OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE INFLATOR PART. HONDA ONLY COVERED HAVE THE REPAIRS BUT THE SHOULD HAVE COVERED ALL OF IT. THIS IS MANDATORY SAFETY EQUIPMENT, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY LIKE THE SEAT BELTS. *TR
