2006 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

BOTH SUN VISORS ON 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAVE BROKEN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE AT ~59,000, FIXED AND BROKE AGAIN AT 82,000. THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR IS CURRENTLY HANGING IN THE LINE OF SIGHT AND READY TO FALL OFF. IT SPLIT APART AT THE TOP SEAM. BOTH VISORS DO NOT SIT IN THE CLOSED POSITION PROPERLY WHICH CAUSES THEM TO CONSTANTLY BE IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT WHEN DRIVING. VISORS REMAIN IN THE OPEN POSITION - UNABLE TO CLOSE WHEN NOT NEEDED WHICH IMPAIRS DRIVING VISION. RECALL???? *TR

SUN VISORS ON MY HONDA CIVIC KEEP BREAKING, INTERFERING WITH VISION WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I WILL HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED, IT IS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE OVERHEATED. ENGINE CRACKED AS A RESULT AFTER PUTTING COOLANT BACK INTO RADIATOR. VEHICLE HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE STOPPED DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY! *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC ENGINE WITH 75000 MILES HAS CRACK IN ENGINE BLOCK. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY; CRACK DISCOVERED BY DEALER DURING COURSE OF OIL CHANGE; NO INDICATION OF HOW LONG THE BLOCK HAS BEEN CRACKED SINCE NO ODOR, NO DISCERNIBLE COOLANT LEAK, OR OTHER OBVIOUS INDICATION OF LEAKING COOLANT. ATTEMPTING TO DEAL WITH HONDA OF AMERICA TO AGREE TO PAY FOR COST OF REPAIR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID IMA BATTERY (NOT THE REGULAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT THE INTEGRATED MOTOR) WILL NOT RETAIN CHARGE. WHEN DRIVING BEGINS, THE MOTOR ASSIST BATTERY QUICKLY (WITHIN 5 MILES) WILL DROP TO ZERO CHARGE LEAVING THE CAR WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION POWER. AT TIMES IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE BATTERY IS DEPLETED UNTIL IT IS NECESSARY TO PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR TO AVOID A PROBLEM ON THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT, THE BATTERY REFUSES TO RESPOND. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE NEEDED TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND. HONDA HAS LOOKED AT MY CAR AND HAS DECIDED THAT "WITHOUT THE IMA LIGHT COMING ON, THERE IS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM," THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST EVERY DAY I DRIVE THE CAR (DOCUMENTED EVERY DAY FOR 2 MONTHS.) I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT 3 TIMES, ONCE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT "SOFTWARE UPDATES" AND REFUSES TO "THROW PARTS" (DIRECT HONDA QUOTE) AT THE PROBLEM. *TR

1) SINCE I'VE OWNED MY CAR, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A FAULTY VISOR..AND EACH TIME IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE, MY VISOR ACTS UP AND ENDS UP BREAKING AND HANGING IN FRONT OF MY FACE WHILE I DRIVE. 2) EVERY SUMMER IT WON'T WORK PROPERLY AND EVENTUALLY IT BREAKS REQUIRING IT TO BE REPLACED. 3) YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE IT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS. AND IT'S UNPREDICTABLE AS TO WHEN IT'S GOING TO BREAK. THERE IS NO FIX TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. THEY NEED TO COME UP WITH A REDESIGN THAT IS NOT FAULTY. HONDA DOES HAVE THE PART, BUT NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS UP, I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT EACH TIME IT BREAKS. THAT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR. *TR

DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR ON 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX. BROKE AFTER NORMAL USE. AFTER BREAK, IT HANGS DOWN LOOSELY AND IMPAIRS THE DRIVER'S VISION. *TR

BOTH SUN VISORS ON 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAVE BROKEN SEVERAL TIMES. THE VISORS DO NOT SIT IN THE CLOSED POSITION PROPERLY WHICH CAUSES THEM TO CONSTANTLY BE IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT WHEN DRIVING. VISORS REMAIN IN THE OPEN POSITION - UNABLE TO CLOSE WHEN NOT NEEDED WHICH IMPAIRS DRIVING VISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISORS WOULD CONTINUALLY FALL FROM THE CLOSED POSITION. IN ADDITION, THE VISORS WERE ALSO SPLIT IN HALF EXPOSING THE METAL CLAMPS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE VISORS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE VISORS TO REMAIN IN A STATIONARY POSITION. THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A DECISION ON IF HE WOULD BE LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2006 CIVIC SI HAS HUGE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS HUGE ISSUES WITH SECOND AND THIRD GEAR, AT THIS MOMENT I HAVE NO 3RD GEAR. WE HAVE A GROUP OF ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED A PETITION TO HONDA FOR A RECALL.. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY HONDA YET. *TR
