2006 Honda Civic

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE ABS ON THE DAY OF THE CRASH, HOWEVER, THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

2006 HONDA CIVIC ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING. CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE ENGINE STALLED AND IT WAS THE DEALERS FAULT FOR WHEN SHE HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY FORGOT TO PUT OIL IN IT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE TWO MORE INCIDENTS WHERE THE ENGINE SLOWED AND WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS NOT CLOSING PROPERLY, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR SEAL WAS COMING APART, THE BRAKES, REAR DOOR WEATHER STRIP, AND TAIL LIGHT WERE ALL REPLACED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COLD. AS A RESULT, THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON TWO OCCASIONS, BUT WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. AS OF OCTOBER 2, 2007, THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE AND DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. UPDATED 10/24/07. *JB

I WAS INFORMED BY LANCASTER HONDA AT APPROXIMATELY 12, 400 MILES THAT I NEEDED MY BRAKES REPLACED. THE BRAKES WAS REPLACED BY LANCASTER HONDA AS A COURTESY. AT 18, 573 MILE LANCASTER HONDA STATED THAT MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THEY REPORTED THAT I HAD 1,5 MM LEFT ON MY BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR TO ROBERTSON'S HONDA AND THEY STATED THERE WAS 3.5 MM LEFT. IN ALL INDICATION I WILL BRAKES TWICE IN 24,000 MILES. THIS WAS REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY STATED THIS IS A WEAR ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS. THE OWNER OF A 2006 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN EX STATED HE HAS 32, 000 MILES ON HIS BRAKES. THE OWNER OF A 2006 -2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE EX STATED HE HAS REPLACED HIS BRAKES TWICE WITHIN A YEAR. I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC COUPE LX. *JB

I BOUGHT MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2005, PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR SHORTLY AFTERWARDS FOR INSTANCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD A MALFUNCTION AND RECALLED THE DEALER DIDN'T FIX IT THE FIRST TIME, VERY INCONVENIENT, BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT AS WELL BECAUSE COULD FALL OFF AND CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HONDA SERVICE TO GET PROBLEMS FIXED AND NUMEROUS TIMES, BEEN TOLD THAT ITS NORMAL OR SOME OTHER ?!@#$% THEY ALWAYS GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND,THE SERVICE PEOPLE ARE RUDE, MEAN AND INCOMPETENT AND IGNORANT. I HAVE TAKEN MY 06 CIVIC IN A TOTAL OF 8-10 TIMES NOW TO FIX PROBLEMS THEY NEVER FIX ANYTHING! INTERIOR TRIM IS POOR/POOR ALTERING FROM THE FACTORY, PANELS LOOSE AND POPPING OUT INTERIOR SCRATCHES TOO EASILY/FRAGILE CHEAPLY MADE ?!@#$% (STILL), FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WONT RETRACT ALL THE WAY BACK ANYMORE LIKE IT USED TO (NEW) WEATHER STRIPPING IS LIFTING UP BY FRONT WINDSHIELD (STILL) VARIOUS RATTLES FROM INTERIOR (STILL), UNDERCOATING/UNDER BODY SPRAY FROM FACTORY IS PEELING COMPLETELY OFF (NEW) DOOR PANEL FLEXES AND RPMS RISE WHEN USING WINDOWS/NOW SEEMS TO ROLL UP/DOWN SLOWER THAN BEFORE (STILL/NEW) KEEP IN MIND IM ONLY AT 11,000 MILES TOO! HONDA AND TOYOTAS QUALITY IS GOING DOWNHILL VERY FAST ESPECIALLY WITH THE CIVIC, CRV, RDX, MDX, CAMRY, TUNDRA, HIGHLANDER, LANDCRUISER, YARIS, AND RAV4. THE LAST YEAR BEFORE THE REDESIGN OF THESE VEHICLES THE QUALITY WAS GREAT, NOW IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA ARE EITHER TEAMING UP TOGETHER OR COMPETING TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE THE CHEAPEST AND ?!@#$% VEHICLE WITH CHEAPLY MADE MATERIALS AND TAKING SHORTCUTS, CHANGED A SUPPLIERS OR SOMETHING, THESE PROBLEMS ARE UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX ON 3/18/06. ON 8/31/06 AFTER 15,658 HIGHWAY MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE INNER FRONT BRAKE PAD WORE OUT AND RUINED THE ROTOR. I REPLACED THE ROTOR, PAD, AND CALIPER WITH ORIGINAL HONDA PARTS. MY DAUGHTER HAS COMPLAINED THAT THIS CAR'S BRAKING IS "UNSTABLE". NOW AT 34,000 MILES THE FRONT INNER PADS ARE WORN TO METAL AGAIN. THE OUTER PADS AND REAR SHOES ARE STILL VERY SERVICEABLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HONDA AND THEY BOTH FAIL TO ADMIT A PROBLEM OR OFFER A SOLUTION. I THINK THIS CAR'S BRAKES HAVE A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES THE FRONT INNER PADS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. AND I THINK THIS FLAW ALSO CAUSES UNSTABLE BRAKING. I HAVE THE CAR AND THE OLD PARTS FOR INSPECTION. *TR

XI HAVE OWNED A 2006 CIVIC HYBRID FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NOTICED THAT A LIGHT APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL CAN RESULT IN A SUDDEN ACCELERATION} RATHER THAN IN BRAKING. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, I WOULD SAY APPROXIMATELY ONCE A MONTH. IT SEEMS LIKE A MALFUNCTION IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM RUNNING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. ON ONE OCCASION LAST APRIL THIS RESULTED IN A MINOR ACCIDENT. AT THE TIME I HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A SHORT INTERVAL AND WAS SURPRISED AT THIS STRANGE REACTION OF THE CAR. SINCE THAT TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF YOU HAVE HAD OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM AND WHETHER YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. SINCE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT EFFECT IT IS NO USE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JB

2006 CIVIC BRAKES FAILED WHEN BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. *TS THE CONSUMER'S DRIVEWAY HAS A 6% GRADE AND IA APPROXIMATELY 45 FEET LONG. ON ONE OCCASION THE CONSUMER HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT REACHED THE SIDEWALK. THE CONSUMER RECOLLECTS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS AT A LOWER LEVEL THAN USUAL WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND CHECK VALVE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. *NM
