2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

2006 HONDA CIVIC - SUNVISOR FELL APART DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR FELL APART AND OBSTRUCTED VIEW WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. PERFORMED RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. HONDA NEEDS A REDESIGNED SUNVISOR AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I.E. VIEW OBSTRUCTED WHILE TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC. *TR

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS OF OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC DEPLOYED WHEN THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS SLAMMED. *TR

1. CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE. SUN VISOR BROKE AFTER TRYING TO ADJUST IT. 2. SUN VISOR IS UNUSABLE AND HANGS FROM THE ROOF. 3. ONLY REPAIR AVAILABLE IS TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR AT A HONDA DEALER. *TR

THIS IS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC .PLASTIC SHROUDING AROUND MOUNTING SECTION OF SUN VISOR IS UNNECESSARILY CHEAP AND WILL NOT WITHSTAND INTERIOR SUMMER TEMPERATURES. EVENTUALLY, THE VISOR WARPS AND WILL NOT REMAIN IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. THE VISOR OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VISION AND IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

THE DASH AIRBAG INOP RED LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF THEN IT JUST REMAINED ON. ON OCCASION IT WOULD GO ON AND OFF. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE LEFT CURTAIN AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE THE EXTENDED MECHANICAL INSURANCE AND FILED A CLAIM. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE AND SOME KIND OF CLIP INSTALLED TO FIX PROBLEM ON 9-16-10. *TR

CAR WAS MAKING LOUD NOISE BUT I COULDN'T TELL WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM (EXCEPT SOMEWHERE UNDERNEATH) KIND OF A GRINDING NOISE. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE THE TIRES FROM THE FACTORY WEREN'T GOOD IN SNOW (OR SO I THOUGHT). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I'D NEED CONTROLLER ARMS AND NEW TIRES BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE VERY WORN. IT'S A 2006 HONDA CIVIC AND ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON THOSE TIRES. THE WHOLE THING IS GOING TO COST ME ALMOST $1000.00 BUT "THE GUY AT THE DEALER SAID "WELL, YOU GET A $50.00 REBATE FOR THE TIRES" OH BOY!! IT ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE EITHER OF COURSE. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA USA TO TALK TO THEM BUT HAVE SEEN FROM THIS WEBSITE THAT IT WON'T DO ANY GOOD. BUT I STILL HAVE TO TRY...I AM DISGUSTED WITH THIS AS I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUCH GLOWING RELIABILITY AND SAFETY REPORTS. I HAD ONE ACCIDENT (REAR ENDED, NOT WITH THIS CAR, ALSO NOT MY FAULT) AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER!! I WILL BE KEEPING THE PARTS AND THE TIRES WHEN I GET IT DONE. *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC SUN VISORS SPLIT WHEN ADJUSTED IN HOT WEATHER. THEY THEN HANG DOWN TILL REPLACED, OBSTRUCTING VISION. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MINE 6 TIMES. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO DEALERS, YET THEY DON'T IMPROVE THE REPLACEMENT SUN VISORS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! *TR

PURCHASED CERTIFIED 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX SEDAN LAST AUG. 2009 AFTER 11,200 MILES OF DRIVING THIS THE CAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE DOWN. PLASTIC CRACKED AND WENT STEADY DOWN. I'M IN HOUSTON, TX MY CONCLUSION IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY PURPOSE BY THE MAKERS OF THIS CHEAP CRAP VISOR. FOR 24 YRS. DRIVING I HAD A NISSAN, TOYOTA, MITSUBISHI, VOLVO, BMW NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM..NEVER... *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID - ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISOR HAS BEEN COMING FALL APART. IT COULDN'T PUT UP. I WAS TOLD THE PART ITSELF COST ME ABOUT $70. IT IS VERY ANNOYING WHEN I AM DRIVING WITH VISOR DOWN ALL THE TIME UNTIL IT REPLACE. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC SPLIT OPEN AND NOW WILL NOT STAY UP. AS A TALL PERSON THIS BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD. THE SUN VISOR SPLIT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN FLORIDA WHEN IT WAS ABOUT 98 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THIS APPARENTLY IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THIS VISOR IN THE HEAT. *TR
