2007 Honda Civic

I AM HAVING REAR SUSPENSION ARM CONTROL ISSUES WITH MY HONDA I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IT NOW HAS UNDER 30,000 AND NEEDS THE REAR ARM CONTROLS REPLACED, THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER CIVIC'S BUT NOT ON MINE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION, AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A ANSWER BACK FROM THEM. I HAVE LOOKED ON LIKE TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER CIVIC SI OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM NOT ONLY HAVING TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART, BUT TO REPLACE TIRES MULTIPLE TIME!... *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE IN AUGUST 2007. I NOTICED A LOUD VIBRATION/THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR AT AROUND 15K MILES. I KEPT AN EYE OUT AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM NOW AT 25K MILES AND I JUST HAD TO GET MY TWO REAR TIRES REPLACED DUE TO SEVER CUPPING AND UNEVEN TREAD WEAR ON THE TIRES. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CIVICS IN REGARDS TO UNEVEN OR RAPID REAR TIRE WEAR AND ALSO FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM HONDA ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS. I REALIZE THAT THE FACTORY TIRES THAT ARE PUT ON NEW CARS ARE NOT THE BEST TIRES BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SO SEVERELY CUPPED AND WORN AT 25K MILES. I SPENT $400 ON TWO NEW TIRES THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I AM AFRAID AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 20-25K MILES IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I BELIEVE IT IS HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON TIRES THAT ARE SEVERELY CUPPED AND UNEVEN. PLEASE HELP IN DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS AS MUCH ABOUT SAFETY AS IT IS FORKING OVER THE MONEY TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY 25K MILES. *TR

I WAS EXPERIENCING LOUD ROAD NOISE FROM THE TRUNK AREA AS WELL AS UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON BOTH REAR TIRES. THIS VEHICLE HAS 36250 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE AND TIRE WEAR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A ROOT CAUSE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE CIVIC, BUT THEY HAVE NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH-COST REPAIRS AND NEW TIRES. *TR

2007 CIVIC SI SEDAN W/ PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM: ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, AND THE RADIO IS TURNED, ALL SPEAKERS EMIT A BUZZING SOUND, WHETHER THE VOLUME OF THE RADIO IS ALL THE WAY DOWN OR CASUALLY LISTENING. YOU CAN HEAR THE BUZZING SOUND AND IT ITS VERY UNPLEASANT. IT OCCURS ALL THE TIME THE CAR IS ON AND DRIVING, OR IDLING. WHEN TO DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE HONDA HAS NOT RELEASED A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

HAD A CAR ACCIDENT 11/07 SINCE THAT ACCIDENT & REPAIR THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON,AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY,NO MATTER WHAT I M DOING IN THE CAR THE LIGHT TENDS TO POP ON & OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER THAT DID THE REPAIRS BUT IT IS STILL A CONSTANT PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE CONTACT THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. BUT NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT OTHER THAN A PHONE CALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 36600 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE 3RD GEAR SYNCRO ISSUE SINCE SUMMER 2008 (I BOUGHT THE CAR 2/2/08. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THE OTHER DAY TO HAVE THEM ADDRESS THE 3RD GEAR SYNCRO ISSUE AFTER THEY TOOK THE CAR APART THEY TOLD ME MY CLUTCH PLATE WAS SEVERELY WARN DOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS CAUSED FROM THE 3RD SYNCHRO AND I WAS TOLD "NO" BUT I HAVE BEEN READING THAT IT IS A DIRECT RESULT. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH HONDA AND THEY NEED TO INCLUDE ALL THE GEARS SYNCHROS AND THE CLUTCH IN THE TSB. ALSO THE TIRES WEAR ON INSIDE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SI WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TSB BECAUSE IT HAS A DIFFERENT SUSPENSION. *TR

2006 THROUGH CURRENT HONDA CIVIC SI HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE INABILITY TO ADJUST THE REAR CAMBER OF THE TIRES. NORMALLY WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN 2,000 AND UP MILES THE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WEAR TO THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES THAT GOES UNDETECTED UNTIL A BLOW OUT OF THE TIRE OCCURS. THE FAULT LIES IN THE REAR CONTROL ARM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CAMBER ADJUSTMENTS OF THE TIRES. HONDA SELLS THESE VEHICLES NEW WITH THE SUSPENSION AS IS. THE OWNERS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET HONDA AND THE DEALERS WHO SOLD THE CARS TO MAKE GOOD ON A REPAIR THAT COST UPWARDS OF OVER $800.00. THEY WONT. HAVING BEEN AN ARMY ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR MY CONCERN LIES IN THE FAILURE OF THE CONTROL ARM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CAMBER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE REAR TIRES. CURRENTLY THE REAR TIRE OR TIRES ARE ALLOWED TO RUB AGAINST THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM CAUSING A BLOW OUT OF THE REAR TIRE (S) CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND A SUBSEQUENT CRASH. THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM COULD BE REMEDIED BY THE RECALL OF SI VERSION CIVICS FOR INSTALLATION OF AN ADJUSTABLE REAR CONTROL ARM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING ORIGINAL CIVICS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY HONDA TO CORRECT OR EXAMINE THIS PROBLEM. THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS INCIDENTS OR FATALITIES I DO NOT BELIEVE HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED OR REPORTED. BUYERS OF THESE VEHICLES, INSURANCE AGENTS AS WELL AS ACCIDENT INVESTIGATORS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT MIGHT JUST SAVE A LIFE OR TWO. I BELIEVE THAT A DATA BASE FOR ALL CIVICS INVOLVED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS SHOULD KEPT TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEMS SEVERITY. *TR
