"TAKATA RECALL". MY HONDA CIVIC 2009 LX SEDAN IS GIVING ME A VERY HARD TIME. ITS AIR CONDITION TURNS ON BUT STOPS WORKING RIGHT AFTER 10 MINTS AS THE COMPRESSOR GETS HOT AND IT STARTS BLOWING HOT AIR. THIS ISSUE IS WITH ALMOST ALL VEHICLES OF THE SAME GENERATION AND HONDA IS NOT GOING TO OWN IT AND SAYS THAT THE CARS ARE OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.

THE A/C RELAY SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE ACTUAL AC SWITCH ON THE COMPRESSOR DUE TO IT BOGGING MY ENGINE DOWN EVERY TIME I TURN IT ON AND IT STILL WON'T BLOW COLD AIR. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUED ISSUE AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF POST ONLINE ABOUT IT. SO WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED OR SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT.

THE CAR OVERHEATED ON THE FREEWAY WITH LEAKING COOLANT AT ABOUT 138K MILES. IT WAS FOUND THAT IT IS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK NEAR THE WATERPUMP. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE VIN NUMBER AT HONDA. WE ARE JUST OUTSIDE THE 10 YR MARK BY 7 MONTHS (PURCHASED USED 1 WK OUTSIDE OF THE 10 YR MARK).

TAKATA RECALL THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE SCANNED THE CAR WITH CAR MD SCAN TOOL AND IT CAME BACK WITH 10 SRS CODES. 15-1,25-1,27-1, 56-1, 61-1,68-1,83-1, 86-1, 02-8, 09-2.

2009 HONDA CIVIC NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. IN FEB 2019 HE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. FRONT AIRBAGS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER TAKITA RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR "A PART THAT JUST FAILS OVER TIME" AND WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I PAID $1100 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND I FEAR IT IS NOW THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG THAT HAS FAILED AND I WILL HAVE TO PUT ANOTHER $1100 INTO A CAR FOR FAILURE OF A SAFETY PART. THE CAR HAS 112,000 MILES AND I JUST PAID AN ADDITIONAL $1400 FOR REAR BREAKS, SHOCKS, ETC., WHICH I CONSIDER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I COULD HAVE PUT $3600 DOWN ON A NEW CAR. NOW I AM ALREADY INTO THIS CAR FOR $2500 AND FIXING THE AIRBAG IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIDE AIRBAG ISSUES WITH HONDA VEHICLES. ALSO, THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE VEHICLE! STARTED PEELING 6 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP SO HONDA NOT RESPONSIBLE.

I NO LONGER OWN THIS CAR. I SOLD IT TO A JUNKYARD 6 MONTHS AGO. PLEASE STOP SENDING ME RECALL NOTICES.

CRACK IN ENGINE BLOCK - DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, CAME TO STOPLIGHT AND NOTICED STEAM COMING FROM ENGINE AND OVERHEATED. STOPPED TO LOOK UNDER HOOD, SMELLED OF COOLANT. CHECKED HOSES, CLAMPS, RADIATOR.... EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. BOUGHT A GALLON OF COOLANT, POURED DIRECTLY INTO RADIATOR. IT NEEDED THE WHOLE GALLON. IT DID NOT OVERHEAT AFTER REFILLING COOLANT, BUT THE NEXT DAY THE ENGINE STARTED RATTLING AND RUNNING POORLY. I COULD NOT DRIVE OVER 50MPH. I TOOK TO HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID IT IS CRACK IN ENGINE BLOCK, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH '06-'09 HONDAS BUT OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY. NO OTHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT PASSENGER RECEIVED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

LEAK IN INTERIOR OF THE AUTOMOBILE WHICH HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT (BRAMAN HONDA) WAS UNABLE TO FIND AFTER 7 HOURS OF INVESTIGATION. LEAK IS ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE SEEN MANY VIDEOS ON YOUUTUBE DESCRIBING INTERIOR LEAKS ON HONDAS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM AND IF THE CAR COMPANY CAN RECOMMEND A FIX. PLEASE HELP.
