I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY IS SUDDENLY DRAINED OF ITS CHARGE DURING HOT WEATHER WHEN I AM AT A STOP. THIS CAUSED ME TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITH LITERALLY NO ACCELERATION. THIS HAS LED ME TO ALMOST BEING CALLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A COUPLE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I KNOW HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING AS THEY HAVE SENT OUT A NOTICE TO HAVE THE BATTERY SOFTWARE UPDATED SAYING THAT THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED AND DETERIORATING OVER TIME. I THINK THAT THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING IT. HONDA HAS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR THIS SITUATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX 2 DOOR SUDDENLY BURST OPEN, IT WILL NOT GO IN THE UP POSITION NOW. IT IS A HAZARD WITH NIGHT DRIVING SINCE IT WON'T GO UP. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT APPROX. 45 MPH IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC.SEEING THAT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL HAD JUST TURNED RED I APPLIED THE BRAKES. AT THAT INSTANT I HEARD A "POP" AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON MY DASHBOARD. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT STRIKING ANYONE. I "NURSED" THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BLOWN BRAKE LINE. A NEW LINE WAS INSTALLED , AT A COST OF $280.00. I WAS TOLD THAT "YOU MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING WHICH SHOT UP AND STRUCK THE LINE". I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT, JUST AS I STATED ABOVE, "I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND HEARD A POP! I DEFINITELY DID NOT STRIKE ANYTHING! I THEN REQUESTED THE REPLACED BRAKE LINE WHICH I NOW HAVE IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

1. NOTHING HAPPENED TO LEAD UP TO IT. IT JUST BROKE. 2. DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT AND WON'T STAY UP. IT IS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AS IT'S ALWAYS FALLING DOWN AND CONSTANTLY TAKING MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD TO TRY AND GET IT TO STAY UP OR TO THE SIDE. 3. TRIED TO FIND A USED ONE, BUT NO LUCK. HONDA WANTS ME TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC EX FAULTY AC CONDENSER. STOPPED WORKING ABRUPTLY. DEALER TOLD ME BEFORE LOOKING AT IT THAT IT WAS A ROCK THAT HAD PUT A HOLE IN IT. INDICATED THEY HAD SEEN NUMEROUS CONDENSERS ON 2007 HONDA MODELS THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT, EVEN WITH IT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THEY DETERMINED IT TO BE A ROCK THAT CAUSED THIS SMALL HOLE. I FOLLOWED UP ON INTERNET AND SAW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A DEFECTIVE MAKE IN THIS VEHICLE. HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. A CAR 3 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS HAPPENING TO IT. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS CAR WITH ALL SERVICE AGREEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE RECORDS. *TR

ON 2/2009 I WAS REAR ENDED IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI DURING A LOW SPEED ACCIDENT (5MPH) THE REPAIRS COMPLETED WERE A NEW REAR BUMPER COVER AND PAINT BY A HONDA DEALER BODY SHOP. ABOUT 11 MONTHS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD FLICK ON AND OFF ON THE DASH. DURING WARRANTY REPAIR WORK TO 3RD GEAR ISSUES (1/2010) THAT I'VE NOW HAD MULTIPLE TIMES, I ASKED THAT HONDA LOOK INTO THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THEY REPLACED WHAT THEY SAID WAS A BAD SENSOR IN THE REAR BUMPER. 5 MONTHS LATER, ON 6/22/2010 DURING THE 3RD GEAR ISSUE BEING FIXED AGAIN, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS RANDOMLY COMING ON AGAIN. ONCE MORE, I ASKED THAT HONDA LOOK INTO THIS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR AGAIN AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT, IF THAT DIDN'T WORK, THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE A FLOORING HARNESS. ALL AIRBAG SENSOR WORK DONE HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT ON 2/2009. ON 7/30/2010 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND MINOR INJURIES TO MYSELF (JAW PAIN, SORE RIBS, AND EAR ACHE) LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL OVER IN A SAFE LOCATION. AFTER TALKING TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE, I WAS ADVISED TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO THE NHTSA. *TR
