2007 Honda Civic

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR CAUSED BY REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. I AM NOW ON MY 4TH SET OF TIRES FOR MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN WITH 58,000 MILES. EACH TIME I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES, I THOUGHT THE WEAR WAS TIRE RELATED. 6-11-08, I LEARNED FROM THE HONDA DEALER, THE PROBLEMS WAS BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION. HONDA (THE MFG.) HAS DECLINED TO ASSIST WITH THE PAYMENT FOR ANY OF THE TIRES. SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLY SEVERE INJURIES. *TR

SMALL VIBRATION HEARD IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. TOOK CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, TOLD THEM OF SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF CAR. THEY INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE CAR, ADVISING THEM TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND TIRES. PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. REPORTED ON 5/22, TODAY IS 6/9, PART STILL NOT REPLACED. HONDA REFUSING TO REPLACE TIRES, EVEN THOUGH DEFECTIVE PART CAUSED REAR TIRE TO WARE UNEVENLY AND RAPIDLY. FEAR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

PROBLEM: UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE - CIVIC HYBRID 2007 RESEARCH SHOWS PROBLEM WAS KNOWN AND POSTED IN SEPTEMBER 2007 PURCHASED CAR NEW IN JANUARY 2008 W DEFECT AND WAS NOT INFORMED. THIS DEFECT WAS MODIFIED AND POSTED AGAIN AS A KNOWN ISSUE ON 3/18/08 BROUGHT CAR IN FOR SERVICE (OIL CHANGE) IN APRIL 2007. NO MENTION OF RECALL AND SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED AFTER KNOWN PROBLEM, IT DID NOT OCCUR THAT THE CAR WOULD BE SOLD W/O ISSUE BEING FIXED. JUNE 8, 2008 - CAR LOCKS IN PARK SEVERAL TIMES. BREAK LIGHT COMES ON. I CHECK MANUAL THAT SAYS TO NOT DRIVE/HAVE CAR TOWED. I DRIVE DIRECTLY TO THE SAFEST LOCATION TO PARK AND CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE MISSED A SCHEDULED SEMINAR/DAY OF WORK. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THIS RECALL DURING PURCHASE AND SERVICE. SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY WAS THIS NOT FIXED PRIOR TO SALE? WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED? WHY WAS THIS NOT CAUGHT AT MY SERVICE? THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 6/8/08 - WAS CALLED ON 6/9/08 AND TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN AS THEY SEEM TO HAVE AIR AND MAKE NOISE. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I SAID I WAS NOT EVEN INFORMED OF A RECALL AND THAT I HAVE ISSUES W THE BRAKES AND I WANT THEM CHECKED EVEN THOUGH THEY FIXED THE RECALL PROBLEM. IT WAS A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR IS CURRENTLY WITH THE DEALER AND I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE MANAGER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE ISSUE SHOULD OF BEEN FIXED AT THE VERY LEAST, DURING THE MAINTENANCE CHECK. HE IS HAVING THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT CHECK THE BRAKES A SECOND TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN MARCH OF 2007 BECAUSE OF A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE NOISE OCCURRED EVERYTIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND PROVIDE A REMEDY. AS THE FAILURE CONTINUED, THE CONTACT WAS REPEATEDLY INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTI-LOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR). THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

I BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC SEDAN IN 2007 AND LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT THEY TOLD ME A ROCK PROBABLY HIT MY CONDENSER AND BROKE MY A/C. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN GOING A FEW MONTH WITHOUT A/C BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD SUCH A REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF PROTECTION OVER THE CONDENSER. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 20,000 MILES WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE ON THE HIGHWAY. SOUND WAS COMING FROM REAR OF CAR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE TO REPLACE REAR CONTROL ARMS. REPAIRS COULD NOT BE DONE ON A TIMELY MANNER BECAUSE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET PARTS FOR SEVERAL DAYS. PROBLEM HAS LIKELY RESULTED IN UNEVEN TIRE WARE, WHICH MAY CAUSE HANDLING DIFFICULTIES AND POSSIBLY A CRASH, BUT DEALER WANTED US TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. AFTER INSISTING, WE WERE GIVEN A LOANER CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR). SHE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. SHE CALLED THE DEALER, BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,207.
