2007 Honda Civic

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM FAILED AND CAUSED UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AND TWO ALIGNMENTS WERE PERFORMED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

WE BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX NEW. THE TIRES WEAR OUT FAST AND I FOUND OUT THE WRONG REAR SUSPENSION PARTS ARE INSTALLED . THE DEALER WANTS OVER 300 DOLLARS TO INSTALL THE CORRECT REAR CONTROL ARMS. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CIVIC OWNERS THAT ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE GETTING NOWHERE WITH HONDA. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A CAR COMPANY TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SUN VISOR FLIPPED DOWN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TWICE WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED BUT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC IS DEFECTIVE. THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT ATTACH IT TO THE MOUNTING HAS MELTED DUE TO THE HEAT INSIDE OF THE CAR AND CAUSES THE VISOR TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE PUT BACK INTO THE UPRIGHT POSITION. BEFORE IT TOTALLY BROKE, IT WOULD FALL DOWN INTO MY LINE OF VISION WHILE DRIVING, SINCE IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FOLDED BACK UP PROPERLY DUE TO THE DAMAGED PARTS. IT NOW HANGS PARTIALLY IN MY LINE OF VISION SINCE IT NO LONGER CAN BE FOLDED UP PROPERLY. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER HONDA CIVICS AND IT'S A SHAME THAT HONDA DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A "SAFETY HAZARD"! *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC NEW IN DECEMBER 2006. SINCE THAT TIME MY DRIVER'S SIDE OVERHEAD VISOR HAS BROKEN AND FAILED TWICE! ONCE IN JUNE 2009 AND AGAIN OCTOBER 2010. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR NORMAL DRIVING BECAUSE THE VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN OUT OF MY FIELD OF VISION WHEN I DRIVE. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADEQUATELY SECURE THE VISOR OUT OF THE FIELD OF SIGHT WITHOUT TOTALLY REPLACING THE PART. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED BY HONDA FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME NEARLY $100 TO REPAIR THE VISOR. THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND DURING NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OF THIS TYPE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE BEFORE! THIS IS AN OBVIOUS QUALITY CONTROL MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CONTINUES TO RECUR AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE ARTICLE ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER/CUSTOMER. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WARRANTS INVESTIGATION AND FOLLOW UP BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS DUE TO SOMEONE NOT EFFECTING THE REPAIR IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME DUE TO THE PROHIBITIVE COST PLACED ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE CONSUMER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE CONTACT'S FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AS IF THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER OFFERED TO COVER 50% OF THE REPAIR EXPENSES. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,331.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL BATTERY, OR THE IMA SYSTEM, WOULD NOT HOLD AN ELECTRICAL CHARGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT IF A LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATING THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED STATING THAT A WARNING LIGHT SHOULD HAVE ILLUMINATED INDICATING A FAILURE AND IF NOT, THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

1. 2007 HONDA CIVIC VISOR SPLIT WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASE. IT WAS STILL FUNCTIONAL DESPITE THE SPLIT, UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 9/27/10, WHEN IT STOPPED LOCKING IN PLACE AND STARTED INTERFERING WITH VISIBILITY. JUST LEARNED THAT MANY CIVIC OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. 2. AT APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES, WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT, YET THERE WAS NO IMPACT. CRACK FORMED OVERNIGHT ON 9/30/10-10/1/10. WINDSHIELD WAS SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH FROM BOTH THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE ALL ALONG THE LENGTH AND BREADTH OF THE CRACK. *TR
