2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

HONDA CIVIC 2006-2007 HAVE A DEFECT OF THE REAR STABILIZER BAR. THIS CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. IT IS NOT VI SABLE UNLESS YOU ARE UNDER THE CAR. THE TIRE WEAR CAUSES THESE CARS TO BECOME UNSAFE. WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS ON A WEB-SITE I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I WAS REFUSED AND AT THAT TIME CALLED AMERICAN HONDA. THIS WAS NOTED AND REFERRED TO THEIR REVIEW BOARD. NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM HONDA ALTHOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY WERE INFORMED OF MY CONCERN REGARDING MY SAFETY AND THOSE ON THE ROAD WITH ME. THE EXTREME COST OF REPLACING THESE PARTS, A 4TH SET OF NEW TIRES AND REALIGNMENT WILL NOT BE COVERED AS THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT, AND HAVE KNOWN ABOUT. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN THEY REALIZED THE PROBLEM THE COST WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THANK YOU *TR

I HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED IN MY 07 CIVIC HYBRID IN AUGUST 2010. SINCE THE UPDATE THE CAR HAS NO ELECTRIC ASSIST WHEN THE BATTERY IS HALF FULL OR LESS. MY BATTERY IS IN THIS STATE AT LEAST HALF OF THE TIME AND HONDA TELLS ME THAT IT IS NORMAL AND THAT THE LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING IS THE RESULT OF THE UPDATE. THIS HAS MADE THE CAR FEEL VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED THE LAST WEEK IN AUGUST PULLING ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY CAR HAD NO PICKUP AS A RESULT OF THIS UPDATE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX MELTED ON THE INSIDE AND NOW WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH MERGING ON THE INTERSTATE HE ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. HE ALSO APPLIED EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT IT FELT LIKE THE ACCELERATION DID NOT INCREASE. THE RPMS INCREASED; HOWEVER, THE HYBRID SYSTEM WAS OF NO ASSISTANCE. BEFORE HE MERGED ONTO THE INTERSTATE HE OBSERVED THE BATTERY PACK HAD FIVE BARS. WHEN HE FELT THE ACCELERATION STOP, THE POWER GAUGE DROPPED FROM 5 BARS TO 1 BAR RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER HAS PERFORMED TWO SOFTWARE UPDATES ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED 6 TIMES SINCE THE LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AND HAVE REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,610.

I AM CURRENTLY STATIONED IN THE US AIR FORCE HERE IN GERMANY. WHILE TRAVELING DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM HERE IN GERMANY, OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYDROPLANED AND SLID OFF THE ROAD. IT ROLLED SIDEWAYS AT LEAST TWICE AND IMPACTED A MILE MARKER SIGN ON THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND LANDED UPRIGHT AFTER HITTING ITS ROOF TWICE. THE REAR WINDSHIELD AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED, THE FRONT BUMPER WAS RIPPED OFF AND THE REAR BUMPER WAS CRUSHED IN. THE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED WHEN MY HEAD IMPACTED IT DURING THE ROLL OVER. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS (DRIVER, PASSENGER, OR SIDE CURTAIN) DEPLOYED. WE RECEIVED INJURIES TO OUR ARMS, LEGS, AND HEADS/FACES. MY WIFE DID RECEIVE 4 STITCHES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER FACE JUST BEHIND HER EYE. ALSO SHE RECEIVED A LACERATION ON HER LEFT EAR WHICH REQUIRED SURGERY. SHE ALSO RECEIVED A MINOR CUT ON HER RIGHT POINTER FINGER WHICH REQUIRED SURGICAL GLUE TO SEAL IT. " *TR

THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FAILED. THE POOR DESIGN OF THE VISORS IS THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE AMOUNT OF FORCE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE SUN VISOR UP OR DOWN EVENTUALLY "UNWELDS" THE PLASTIC FRONT FROM THE PLASTIC BACK. THE RESULT IS THE VISOR IS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE FACTORY INSTALLED (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT) VISOR OF 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX SPLIT APART AND NO LONGER REMAINS IN THE FIXED UPRIGHT (FLUSH WITH CEILING) POSITION, BUT RATHER HANGS DOWN IN VIEWS WAY. THIS ISSUE OCCURED SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT FORCE OR MISUSE OF FEATURE. THIS FAILURE IS PERMANENT. ITEM WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. RESEARCH EASILY FOUND MANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS FOR THIS SAME DEFECT. HONDA IS NOT CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT CORRECTING THE DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE SUN VISOR IN MY HONDA KEEPS FALLING APART AND SOMETIMES IT FALLS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I SEE ONLINE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF HONDA OWNERS. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? THIS IS THE SECOND VISOR THAT WENT BAD. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. *TR

THE HONDA 07 CIVIC SUN VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND MUST BE RECALLED! THE HEAT CAUSES THE VISORS TO CRACK AND BECOME SUSPENDED IN THE DOWN POSITION. AFTER IT CRACKS IT WILL NOT LOCK IN THE UP POSITION. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ADMITS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I MUST PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED NOW THAT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED! THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE REPLACED BOTH VISORS. *TR
