2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

2007 HONDA CIVIC EX 4 DOOR (60,000 MILES), DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT OPEN AT THE SEAM AND NOW HANGS DOWN AND BLOCKS FORWARD AND SIDE LINE OF SIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY 100+ BUCKS FOR A DESIGN ISSUE THAT I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

DRIVING INTO THE PARKING LOG GOING AROUND 7 MPH THE SUPPORT ARM FOR THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL SHOCK/SUSPENSION SNAPPED IN THE MIDDLE AND MY WHEEL WAS BASICALLY DRAGGING FOR AROUND 20 FEET SO I COULD PARK AND WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. THIS CAR IS USED AS A COMMUTE CAR SINCE I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY I DRIVE AROUND 70 MILES A DAY COMBINED MOSTLY AT 70 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL ON DECENT HIGHWAYS. I DON'T JUMP OFF RAMPS OR DRIVE CRAZY THIS IS CLEARLY POOR MANUFACTURING, WORKMANSHIP, OR DESIGN. I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKING AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY.

BOTH SUNVISORS CRACKED FROM THE NORMAL SOUTHEASTERN HEAT AFTER I HAD HAD THE CAR ABOUT TWO YEARS. *TR

SINCE I HAVE GOTTEN THE IMA BATTERY UPGRADE THE CAR BATTERY COMPLETELY DISCHARGES RANDOMLY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. WHEN THE BATTERY DISCHARGES THE CAR LOOSES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ITS ACCELERATION. IT FREQUENTLY LOOSES ALL BARS ON THE BATTERY GAUGE, SIGNIFYING A RECALIBRATION EVENT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT A REASONABLE SPEED SINCE THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS TRYING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING THE CAR. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND AVOID ANY SITUATIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE QUICK ACCELERATION WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING OR ELSE YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THREE INCIDENTS SINCE THIS UPGRADE WHERE I HAVE NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
