2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH, IT WON'T STAY ON. BAD CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH. OTHERS IN THE BLOGS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS NO RECALLS. *TR

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATIONS WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. HONDA HAD A RECALL TO REPAIR CONTROL ARM. HAD REPAIR DONE 6 YEARS AGO. IT WAS A FACTORY/MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. CALLED DEALER WHO SAID HONDA ONLY HONORS ONE REPAIR. ANY SUBSEQUENT REPAIRS ARE AT MY EXPENSE. DEALER WILL NOT DO PERMANENT FIX. TIRES WEAR UNEVENLY DUE TO PROBLEM. HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL TIRES. HAVE HAD PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR AND STRUT REPLACEMENT DUE TO MANUFACTURING ISSUES. ALSO, CATALYTIC CONVERTER NOW GOING OUT PREMATURELY. NOTHING COVERED BY HONDA. MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FORMING. WHY DOES HONDA NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT AND PERMANENTLY REPAIR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS/PROBLEMS? *TR

DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OFF AT COLLEGE, SHE ADVISED THE REAR END WAS MAKING NOISES. I HAD HER GO AND GET NEW TIRES A COUPLE OF TIMES. SHE ADVISED THE REAR IS ROARING AND SHAKING. SHE CAME HOME AND I DROVE THE CAR. I WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN IT IS VERY UNSAFE, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE RAIN. THE TIRES ARE WORN UNEVEN ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND HONDA HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND EVEN HAS A FIX OUT TO THE DEALERS, WE HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. I NOW HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO IS IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IF FOUND HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE, OVER VEH IS WAY OUT OF WARRANTY, AND IT SAYS ITS OWNERS EXPENSE. CANNOT AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHE IS IN COLLEGE. *TR

PAINT AND CLEARCOAT IS PEELING ON HOOD, ROOF, FENDERS, AND TRUNK LID. SEEMS TO BE A CLEAR PROBLEM WITH THE TYPE OF PAINT/CLEARCOAT USED OR APPLICATION. *TR

CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF THE THIRD GEAR POPPING OUT OR GRINDING WHILE ENGAGING. IT IS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC SI. CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FROM HONDA SAYING IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEY WANTED $1,500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS IT IS A DANGER WHILE DRIVING TO HAVE YOUR CAR NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE THE GEARS AND A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH TELLS ME THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY AN IMMEDIATE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING BUT WILL LEAD TO FASTER CLUTCH WEAR WHICH COULD PUT THE TIMING OF REPAIRS OFF OF A NORMAL SCHEDULE AND A CLUTCH FAILURE WHILE DRIVING COULD BE FATAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN NEUTRAL, THE FRONT PASSENGER, PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AND PASSENGER REAR CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000. *TR UPDATED 03/27/13*LJ

I'VE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH THIS CAR BUT THE CURRENT ONE THAT COMPLETELY SCARED AND FRUSTRATED ME IS MY ENGINE WENT OUT OF NO WHERE AND I ALMOST GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AS MY CAR SLOWLY STOPPED HAVING POWER. LUCKILY I MADE IT ACROSS THE WAY TO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX BUT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THERE HAVE BEEN AN ABUNDANCE OF COMPLAINTS OF CONSUMERS WITH MY SAME CAR 2006 OR 2007 WITH LESS OR MORE MILES AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IF SOMEONE GETS STUCK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR A BUSIER INTERSECTION THEN I DID AND DOESN'T MAKE IT ACROSS. SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT THAT WAY. I URGE YOU PLEASE TO ENCOURAGE HONDA TO FILE A RECALL. YES THEY WILL LOSE MONEY BUT IS IT BETTER TO RISK THE LIVES OF OTHERS AT THAT EXPENSE...TO SAVE A COUPLE DOLLARS. I HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE WITH HONDA. I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED IN SOME MANNER ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE ON A FAIRLY NEW PRODUCT. THEY ARE SO DISMISSIVE AND UNHELPFUL... PLEASE HELP!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE STERNUM AND CARTILAGE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

I JUST RECENTLY HAD MY CAR FRONT FENDERS AND HOOD PAINTED AT 87,000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION HONDA HAD, BUT AT 60,000 MILES I WAS HAND WASHING THE CAR LIKE I ALWAYS DO AND WHEN I SPRAYED IT WITH WATER SOME OF THE RIGHT SIDE QUARTER PANEL PAINT JUST FLAKED OFF.. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM HONDA HAS WITH THE CLEAR COAT. *TR

HAD THE 3RD GEAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FIXED AT 45,000 MILES AND SINCE THEN IT HAS ALWAYS DRIVEN DIFFERENT. KEPT GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW AT 87,000 IT GOT TAKEN IN TO GET THE FRONT FENDERS AND HOOD RE-PAINTED BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY MANUFACTURER PAINT. THE CAR STARTED CLICKING BEFORE I TOOK IT IN AND WHEN PRESSING THE CLUTCH NOISE WOULD GO AWAY. THEY DID AN ESTIMATE FOR MY THROWOUT BEARING AND THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME SAYING THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE AT ALL, THAT I NEED IT A NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTS ME TO PAY THEM $4,000 IN TOTAL FOR LABOR AND TO PUT A NEW TRANS IN THE CAR. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP AND HAD A FEW COMPLAINTS TOWARDS HONDA. I ALSO HAD THE MOTOR TOP GASKET REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING OIL AND GOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT WAS PART OF A RECALL. *TR
