2007 Honda Civic

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OVER TIME THE VIBRATION BECAME MUCH WORSE AND MORE PROFOUND WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER IN REGARDS TO A SUSPENSION RELATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2007 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE HAS DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS. AT FIRST VISOR VERY LOOSE. OVER TIME VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP. THIS HINDERS DRIVING AND BEING ABLE TO SEE THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. NOW THE ENTIRE VISOR HAS COME OFF AS IT WON'T STAY ON ITS HINGE. NOW I DRIVE IN THE MORNING FACING THE SUN AND DRIVE HOME FACING THE SUN. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOU WITH THE SUN IN YOUR FACE. HONDA AGREES I CAN GET A REPLACEMENT AT MY EXPENSE BUT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A FLAW WITH MANY HONDA CIVIC OWNERS. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CAR IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. IN JUNE WHILE STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP ON A HILL AND DRIVING IN GENTLY ROLLING HILLS THE INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST WOULD OFTEN FAIL TO ENGAGE TO PROVIDE THE EXTRA POWER NEEDED TO CLIMB THE HILL. THE ENGINE REVVED TO 3000 - 3500 RPM BUT HAD NO POWER. WHEN STARTING FROM THE DEAD STOP THE CAR COULD NOT HOLD IT'S POSITION ON THE HILL. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE BUT THEY APPLIED TWO SOFTWARE UPDATES TO THE COMPUTER THAT MIGHT HELP. THEY ALSO CONTACTED THE HONDA TECHLINE. HONDA TOLD MY DEALER THAT GIVEN THE AGE OF THE BATTERY (3 YEARS) AND WHEN THE TEMPERATURE REACHES 100 DEGREES (THERE WAS A COINCIDENTAL HEAT WAVE IN THE EAST) THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATION. ON THE SPECIFIC DAY THIS PROBLEM STARTED TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE EIGHTIES. THE DEALER SPENT TWO WEEKS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND A THIRD WEEK ARGUING WITH HONDA THAT THE CAR DID NOT RUN RIGHT. AT THIS POINT I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY OPENED AN 'INVESTIGATION'. THEY TOOK MY STATEMENT AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE CAR IS OPERATING PERFECTLY NORMALLY. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT GIVEN THE AGE OF THE BATTERY, IF YOU USE THE IMA TOO MUCH THE IMA BATTERY MAY OVERHEAT AND SHUT DOWN. THAT IS HONDA'S OFFICIAL POSITION AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE SAFETY CONCERNS OF THIS PROBLEM ARE OBVIOUS. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS. MY WIFE DRIVES A 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A TOTAL REDESIGN OF THE CIVIC IN 2006. PERHAPS THE HONDA ENGINEERS OUTSMARTED THEMSELVES AND INTRODUCED A DESIGN FLAW. OR, PERHAPS THERE IS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY THAT HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO PAY TO REPLACE. *TR

REPORTED TO DEALER THAT CENTER HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. AFTER BRAKE LIGHT TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING RETURNED TO DEALER (10,000 MILES LATER) AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A BURNED OUT BULB. THE BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T HAVE A BULB BUT A ROW OF 5 LEDS. WAS TOLD TO RETURN THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I REMOVED THE LIGHT AT HOME AND FOUND A CLIP THE POWER WIRE GOING TO THE LIGHT WAS WRAPPED AROUND WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TAKING THE WIRE OFF THE CLIP WHERE IT WAS TIGHTLY WRAPPED AROUND FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THE LIGHT WORKED EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. STILL WAITING TO CONTACT HONDA USA ABOUT THE PROBLEM. LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LIGHT NOT WORKING CONSISTENTLY. THE DESIGN OF THE LED BRAKE LIGHT SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS. *TR

I OWN A 07 HONDA CIVIC THAT HAS A MAJOR FACTORY PROBLEM WITH THE REAR CONTROL ARM. THE VEHICLE CAN'T STAY ALIGNED AND IS A PART THE HAVE TO BE REPLACE. HONDA HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BUT WE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY DO NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY ON A CPO VEHICLE. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND A LOT OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL AND OFFER TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART. THE VEHICLE BOUNCE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND THE NOISE IS REAL BAD. HOPEFULLY OTHER OWNERS HAVE CONTACTED YOU WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND CONCERN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A RUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE REAR SUPPORT ARMS AS WELL AND BOTH REAR TIRES WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN TWO YEARS. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT AND BOTH REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN SIX WEEKS. THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 1/19/2010 *CN UPDATED 04/20/11

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX SUDDENLY FELL FROM THE STORED POSITION AND WOULDN'T GO BACK UP IN PLACE. I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT CAME DOWN DIRECTLY INTO MY LINE OF SITE AND I COULDN'T SEE FOR A MOMENT. MY FIANCE'S SISTER HAS THE SAME CAR AND IT HAPPENED TO HER ALSO. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND HONDA TOLD THEM NOT TO REPLACE THEM FOR FREE ANYMORE. THIS TO ME IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IF YOU LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS. HONDA KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE REDESIGNED A REPLACEMENT FOR IT. *TR
