2011 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON EVEN AFTER REPAIR SHOP RESET IT. WE ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT IT'S ABILITY TO OPERATE CORRECTLY WITHOUT INJURING US !

HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. NO PHONE CALL OR EMAIL OR STOP BY.

THE SUNVISORS ARE BROKEN. THEY WILL NOT NOT REMAIN IN A STABLE, OUT OF SIGHT POSITION. AS THEY REMAIN IN THE DOWN POSITION THEY BLOCK SIGHT PATHS FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. HONDA EARLIER RECALLED VEHICLES FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. TO DATE IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.

THE PAINT.. THE HOOD HAS MARKS THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE. IT WAS NOT UNTIL RECENTLY THAT SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE. AND THEN WITHIN THE LAST 8 MONTHS THE OXIDATION IS ALL OVER THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK WHICH IS MAKING UNABLE FOR ME TO TRADE IT IN

DOES THE FAULTY SUN VISOR SETTLEMENT IN 2011 RING A BELL? MY 2011 CIVIC HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, SO APPARENTLY HONDA WASN'T WORKING ON CORRECTING THE ISSUE DURING THE SETTLEMENT TIME FRAME. I REPLACED IT ONCE IN LATE 2014 AND NOW IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN IN 2017. HOW DOES THIS NOT OBSTRUCT NIGHTTIME DRIVING? HOW DO YOU BUILD A GOOD ENGINE YET FAIL YEAR AFTER YEAR ON A LOUSY SUN VISOR? NEED A PHOTO? REFERENCE THE BILLION OTHER PHOTOS SENT DURING THE 2011 SETTLEMENT!

THE ORIGINAL DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WAS REPLACED IN 2014 DUE TO BREAKING APART ON THE PIVOTING SIDE AND NOW THE 2ND DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR IS BROKEN. THIS CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND TWO DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISORS HAVE BROKEN DUE TO THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. NOW THE CAR NEEDS YET A 3RD DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR. THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL AND IMPEDES THE DRIVER'S VIEW DUE TO NOT REMAINING IN THE NORMAL, STOWED POSITION. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN NEEDED TO BLOCK THE SUN ON A BRIGHT DAY IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE INTENDED DEPLOYED POSITION, BUT ONLY HANGS VERTICALLY WHICH IMPEDES THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION DISTRACTING THE DRIVER'S CONCENTRATION WHILE DRIVING. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAY CAUSE A DRIVER TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED ON EARLIER HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES THAT DID REQUIRE A RECALL.
