2007 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I OWN A HONDA CIVIC 4 DR AUTO TRANSMISSION, AND HAVE ISSUES WITH POOR QUALITY SUN VISORS. THE SUN VISORS BREAK APART EVERY SUMMER I HAVE OWNED VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS AND CHANGED THE SUN VISOR ATLEAST THRICE TILL NOW FOR NO COST. BUT NOW I BEING CHARGED SINCE WARRANTY IS OVER. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR KNOWN QUALITY ISSUE? *TR

MY 2007 CIVIC EX COUPE CURRENTLY HAS A MILEAGE OF 66,000 AND I'M HAVING MY FOURTH SET OF TIRES INSTALLED TODAY, ALL OF WHICH WERE PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND ROTATED. I'VE HAD 2 HIGHWAY-SPEED BLOWOUTS IN THE LAST YEAR, AND SOMEHOW MANAGED TO AVOID SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BOTH TIMES. ALL OF THIS IS ON TOP OF THE RIDICULOUSLY LOUD ROAD NOISE GENERATED BY THIS ISSUE. THE INSIDE RIM OF BOTH REAR TIRES WEAR EXCESSIVELY FAST. I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY MANUFACTURING ISSUE AS HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY PEOPLE HAVE TO START DYING IN SUFFICIENT NUMBERS BEFORE HONDA WILL FIX THIS ISSUE WITH A RECALL.*CW *TR

THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH SIDES OF MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE WERE DEFECTIVE. THIS CAUSED BOTH REAR TIRES TO BECOME BADLY "CUPPED" AND CAUSED EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE. MY PERSONAL SAFETY WAS PLACED IN DANGER AS THESE REAR TIRES COULD HAVE FAILED AT ANY TIME POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES ON IT. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THIS PROBLEM TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON. *TR

EXPERIENCED UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON REAR TIRES. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND THE SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE ROUGH RIDE AS IF TIRES ARE OUT OF BALANCE. OEM DUNLOP TIRES WERE ROUTINELY ROTATED AND BALANCED AND STILL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT 32K. NEW TIRES WITH 15K ARE SHOWING SAME ISSUES, CUPPING OF INNER TREAD EDGE. AT SPEEDS OF 50-60 MPH, SHAKE WAS SO EVIDENT THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HANDLING ABILITY. CHANGED UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND TIRES WITH MINOR IMPROVEMENT. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT PARK ITSELF IN THE RIGHT POSITION WHEN TURNING OFF. WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD THUS BLOCKING PORTIONS OF MY VIEW. THIS OCCURS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40 DEGREES F AND RAINING/SNOWING. WHEN THE WIPER FAIL TO PARK ITSELF IN THE CORRECT POSITION, IT BLOCKS DRIVER'S VIEW AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ISSUE OCCURRED A FEW TIMES ON HIGHWAY TRAVEL AND PARTIALLY BLOCK MY VIEW OF A LANE BARRIER. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM. *TR

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON 2007 CIVIC. FIRST SET OF TIRES ONLY LASTED 26,000 MILES. BROUGHT IN TO HONDA FOR UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND THEY BLAMED GOODYEAR FOR THE WEAR EVEN THOUGH THE CHANGED THE REAR CONTROL ARMS TO CORRECT THE IMPROPER CAMBER FROM THE FACTORY. SEE SERVICE BULLETINS FOR FREE REPLACEMENT OF REAR SUSPENSION. HONDA WOULD NOT REPLACE TIRES. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. HONDA OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE TIRE REPLACEMENT. I DECLINED THEIR OFFER. WE WERE ABOUT TO GO TO ARBITRATION WHEN HONDA CALLED AND TOLD ME TO BRING THE 2007 CIVIC IN AND THEY WILL REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AT NOT COST. IT TOOK ABOUT 4 MONTHS TO SETTLE, BUT EVENTUALLY ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, FILE WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THEY WILL HOLD THE DEALER RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT CORRECTING THE ISSUE EARLIER TO SAVE THE TIRES. *TR

FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING AND LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER 80,000 MILES ON THESE 2007 HONDA CIVICS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS SHE HAD ALL FOUR TIRES ROTATED. AFTER THE TIRES WERE ROTATED SHE HAD TO HAVE A NEW SET OF TIRES INSTALLED. SHE NOTICES A PECULIAR NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEEL BEARINGS. SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

UNEVEN TREAD WEAR ON THE REAR TIRES FROM THE INSIDE. HIGH AND LOW SPOTS ON TIRE THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

MY WIFE'S HYBRID HONDA CIVIC (2007) WHILE DRIVING, IF YOU OPEN THE TWO BACK WINDOWS, YOU GET THIS LOUD WHIPPING OF WIND SOUND THRU OUT THE CAR, ITS AN AERODYNAMICS FLAW I BELIEVE. IN ANY CASE ITS ANNOYING TO THE POINT WHERE YOU MUST ROLL THE WINDOWS BACK UP. *TR
