2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

2006 HONDA CIVIC DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS FALLEN OFF COMPLETELY. THE PLASTIC CASING HOLDING THE VISOR TOGETHER SPLIT AT THE SEAM. MILEAGE WAS APPROX. 30,050. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BREAKS APART AND CANNOT BE POSITIONED SAFELY DURING DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY GRADUALLY OVER A COUPLE OF SUMMERS UNTIL IT NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. IT IS NOT SAFE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC IS AGAIN BREAKING. IT WONT STAY UP AND IS SPLITTING DOWN THE MIDDLE. I HAD BOTH VISORS REPLACED BY HONDA ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

SUN VISOR ON THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC WON'T STAY UP OR GO COMPLETELY DOWN. WHEN PUTTING THE VISOR DOWN IT JUST SPLIT OPEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S HAPPENED. HONDA REPLACED THE PART ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, BUT THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING. *TR

BOTH SUN VISORS (DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE) SPLIT OPEN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. THE PLASTIC CASING HOLDING THE VISOR TOGETHER SPLIT AT THE SEEM ON BOTH VISORS. AS A RESULT, THEY ARE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THEY CANNOT FOLD UP. THEY FALL AND PARTIALLY OBSTRUCT THE VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. EVEN THE REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE OF THE SAME CONSTRUCTION, AND THEREFORE OFFER LITTLE REMEDY SINCE THEY TOO WILL INEVITABLY SPLIT OPEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FALL DOWN, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SINCE THE SUN VISOR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. DURING A ROUTINE WHEEL ALIGNMENT BY A LOCAL MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE WEARING FASTER THAN NORMAL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITHIN THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT HE NEEDED TO HAVE A CROSS BAR REPLACED ON THE REAR SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

MY '06 HONDA CIVIC'S SUN VISORS SPLIT OPEN AFTER A HOT DAY THIS SUMMER. THEY DO NOT STAY UP AND KEEP HANGING IN FRONT OF MY FACE WHILE I DRIVE POSING A SAFETY HAZARD. I FOUND THAT THERE ARE COMPLAINTS FROM HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, CLAIMING THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WHEN SUBJECTED TO CAR'S INTERIOR HEAT. THIS IS A CRITICAL VISIBILITY ISSUE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, INJURY AND POSSIBLY LOST OF LIFE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE PROBLEM IS INFREQUENT BUT POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSSES ALL POWER. THE ENGINE CONTINUES RUNNING BUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES CONTINUE WORKING BUT THERE IS NO POWER. IT LASTS SECONDS. I HAVE ALWAYS STOPPED THE CAR BY BRAKING AND THEN STARTED IT UP. IT TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE POWER RETURNS. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS WITH TRAFFIC AROUND. A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING UP A 7 MILE DIRT ROAD GOING ABOUT 15 TO 25 MPH IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. IT WAS NEAR THE END OF THE ROAD. THE BATTERY INDICATOR ON THE HYBRID SHOWED IT TO BE ABOUT 60% CHARGED. NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WENT ON. HONDA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TRIED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM SINCE THERE ARE IDIOSYNCRASIES WITH THE SYSTEM. FOR EXAMPLE, THE BATTERY CHARGE LIGHT CAN SUDDENLY SHOWED THE BATTERY NEARLY UNCHARGED AND THEN SUDDENLY SHOW IT NORMALLY CHARGED. THIS SHOULD TAKE TIME SINCE THE BATTERY SHOULD CHARGE OVER TIME. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED DURING THE TIMES WHERE THE BATTERY CHARGE LIGHT SHOWS A SUDDEN CHANGE ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING. HOWEVER, WITH THE 3 MOST RECENT EPISODES NO AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON AND THE BATTERY CHARGE LIGHT SHOWED A NORMAL CHARGE. ALSO THE INDICATOR THAT SHOWS THE MPG I AM GETTING AT THAT MOMENT CAN GO TO ZERO WHEN COSTING DOWN A HILL. I SHOULD BE REGISTERING A MAXIMUM MPG READING IN THAT SETTING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD CRACKED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 118,000.
