2007 Honda Civic

RAPID TIRE WEAR OCCURRED ON THE INNER PORTIONS OF BOTH REAR TIRES. THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AFTER NOTICING MUCH ROAD NOISE AND HAVING THE TIRES ROTATED. TWO NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY AFTER CONSULTING TWO DIFFERENT HONDA GARAGES THEY BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARMS WERE INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND ARE WITHIN SPEC. BOTH GARAGES RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TIRES AGAIN, BUT THIS IS BECOMING VERY COSTLY. THE RIDE OF THE CAR OVER THE LAST YEAR HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND NOW I'M NOTICING BRAKING PROBLEMS. THE CAR HOPS IN THE BACK WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA IS DENYING THE PROBLEM AND HAS OFFERED NO COMPENSATION. *TR

I WENT TO HONDA DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND FOUND OUT THAT MY REAR TIRES ARE WEARING PREMATURELY AND UNEVENLY. I ONLY HAVE 38000 MILES ON THE CAR AND REGULARLY MAINTAINED AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS. DEALER SUGGESTED ME TO CHANGE ALL FOUR TIRES FOR THAT AND ALIGNMENTS + REPLACE REAR UPPER ARM, WHICH IS CAUSING UNEVEN WEARING OF REAR TIRES. HOWEVER HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY CHARGES CUSTOMERS FOR ALL COST FOR PREMATURELY WEARING TIRES AND COST FOR REPLACING DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED PARTS. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUES AND HONDA IS UNRESPONSIVE TO THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD OPERATE WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 07-071: VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR) AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE TSB BUT ADVISED THAT THE MOTOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,600.

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX WITH 36,000 MILES. I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE GOING VERY SLOWLY (<5 MPH) WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND I HIT A CURB WHICH THEN CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP ITS ACCELERATION. THE BRAKES DID NOT MAKE TOO MUCH DIFFERENCE AS THE CAR WAS CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD AND RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE AS I TRIED TO BRAKE. PREVIOUSLY, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH HIGH RPM'S AND INCREASED ACCELERATION AND ROUGH IDLING AT 34000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE ENGINE MOUNT WHICH I FOUND OUT WAS UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. OTHER THAN THAT, THOSE ARE THE ONLY ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNTIL TODAY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MUST BE OPERATOR ERROR, BUT WHY WOULD THE CAR CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES? I CHECKED THE MAT AS WELL AND IT HAD NOT BECOME ENTANGLED WITH THE GAS PEDAL AS THE DEALER SUGGESTED. THE CAR MOVING FORWARD AT HIGH RPMS BY ITSELF IS A CONCERN. I AM HAPPY THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR HIT A PEDESTRIAN. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND AS I RESEARCHED, I AM FINDING THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM UNDER SOME OF THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR! *TR

REAR TIRES ARE CUPPING AND THEY'VE BECOME VERY NOISY AFTER 5,000 MILES. PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED: NOVEMBER 2011. THE REAR TIRES WERE ALWAYS SLIPPERY IN TIGHT CURVES AT NORMAL SPEED. WENT TO ROUTE 23 HONDA, NJ FOR A CHECK UP ON 02/16/12. THEY BLAMED MY NEW TIRES (10000 MILES OLD). CHARGED ME $96.25 FOR A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT, NO PROBLEM FOUND WITH THE REAR WHEELS. I HAVE ASKED THEM ABOUT SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 (UNEVEN OR RAPID REAR TIRE WEAR) BUT THEY DID NOT ADMIT ANY FAULT. THEY'VE SAID MY CAR DOES NOT NEED A REPAIR AS PER SB 08-001 MENTIONED ABOVE. I HAVE CONTACTED (OPENED ACCOUNT WITH) AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. THEY DID NOT CALL BACK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING. HE ALSO NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. THE DEALER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE REAR BEARINGS AND THE O RING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC, I PURCHASED THE CAR ON OCTOBER 31ST, 2011 AND I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END WAS MAKING A NOISE AND A VIBRATION WHEN I DECELERATE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT NEW TIRES ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. OVER A LITTLE TIME UNTIL TODAY, THE NOISE AND VIBRATION IS STILL THERE AND WONT GO AWAY. I DONT KNOW IF ITS COMING FROM THE ENGINE OR THE DRIVETRAIN. I THINK ITS SOMETHING SERIOUS BUT I CANT REALLY TELL NOT BEING A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. IS THERE A RECALL ON SOMETHING RELATED TO THE DRIVETRAIN/FRONT END OR ENGINE PROBLEM? *TR

PURCHASED 2007 CIVIC SI SEDAN NEW IN NOVEMBER 2006. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, BEGAN NOTICING DIFFICULTY WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR. GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND WOULD SOMETIMES "POP" OUT. USUALLY THIS OCCURS WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE. NOTIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. WAS TOLD THAT I MUST BE SHIFTING INCORRECTLY AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM CONTINUED AND I ADVISED THEM AGAIN IN FEB. 2008 THAT 3RD GEAR WAS STILL HAVING RESISTANCE/GRINDING/POPPING ISSUES. I FOUND THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM IN JULY 2008. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE TSB. *TR
