2007 Honda Civic

THE REAR SUSPENSION / UPPER REAR CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE LEADING TO EXCESSIVE NEGATIVE REAR CAMBER. THIS CAUSED RAPID TIRE WEAR TO THE INSIDE EDGES AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IN WET CONDITIONS. HONDA HAS ISSUED A TSB (08-001) THAT COVERS THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY HAVE EXCLUDED THE SI MODEL IN THEIR TSB. I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED AND PARTS DIAGRAM SHOWING THE FAULTY UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THE CARS COVERED BY TSB 08-001 CARRY THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBER AS THOSE ON THE SI MODEL THAT IS EXCLUDED. LATER YEAR MODEL SI CARS HAVE A NEW DESIGN UPPER CONTROL ARM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. MY DEALER SAID THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER MY CAR UNDER THIS TSB ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM AND PARTS ARE IDENTICAL. *TR

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS IN HONDA CIVIC 2007 MODEL CRACKING AND FALLING APART. HANGS AND DOES NOT GO UP IN THE STOW POSITION EASILY WITHOUT WANTING TO POP OFF. BLOCKS DRIVER'S VIEW AND CAN NO LONGER DO A GOOD JOB OF BLOCKING THE SUN OUT OF THE FIELD OF VIEW. THIS SITUATION CAN EASILY LEAD TO A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA USA AND THEY ARE NOT MAKING A RECALL OR A REDESIGN ON THIS PART. SO THE BROKEN/CRACKED SUN VISORS ARE BEING REPLACED BY NEW PARTS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO FAIL IN THE FUTURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN IN AN ELEVATED SECURED POSITION. THE DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTED THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY REPLACED THE SUN VISOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000. UPDATED 08/28/09 *BF UPDATED 08/31/09.*JB

I PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CIVIC FROM AUTOFAIR HONDA OF MANCHESTER NH AND HAVE HAD ALL OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATION SERVICES DONE WITH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE OVER 39,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE AUTOFAIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEVER ONCE INFORMED ME ABOUT A HONDA BULLETIN REGARDING THE CIVIC'S REAR SUSPENSION CAUSING REAR TIRES TO GO BALD, WHICH MINE DID. DURING MY LAST TIRE ROTATION ON APRIL 14, THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ME THAT MY TREAD WAS GOING BARE. ON JULY 4, I DISCOVERED THAT MY BACK TIRES WERE BARE AFTER REALIZING THAT THEY WERE MAKING CONSIDERABLE NOISE WHILE RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES THE FOLLOWING MONDAY FROM A LOCAL TIRE STORE. DURING MY ONLINE SEARCH FOR NEW TIRES I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER CIVIC CAR OWNERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS DUE TO A REAR SUSPENSION FAULT WITH HONDA CIVICS. I THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AUTOFAIR TO HAVE THEM CHECK THIS ISSUE ON JULY 13. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEN INFORMED ME THAT THEIR WAS AN ISSUE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I HAD TO PAY AUTOFAIR TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY PUT IN THE FOLLOWING PART: 1 04523-SNA-A01 SET, UPPER ARM RR. I'M UPSET THAT THEY DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE SOONER. WE'VE HAD A VERY WET JUNE AND MY TIRES WERE NOT SAFE FOR DRIVING IN SUCH CONDITIONS. OTHER PEOPLE AT THE AUTOFAIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAITING ROOM HAVE SAID THEY'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.*TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC SI SEDAN, THE REAR SUSPENSION IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING PREMATURE TIRE WEAR, IN LESS THAN 30,000 MILES I HAD GONE THROUGH TWO SETS OF TIRES, AND TWO REAR BEARINGS. REAR BEARINGS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I PAID FOR THE TIRES. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE REAR CONTROL ARMS, WHICH MEANS THAT THE BRAND NEW TIRES WILL ALSO WEAR PREMATURELY, AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER SET OF REAR BEARINGS... *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX. HOT DAY, OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND SAT DOWN AND NOTICED MY SUN VISOR FLAPPED DOWN AND BUSTED. LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND VIEW HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND THE PICTURES OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CASE. BUERKLE HONDA IN MINNESOTA WANTS TO CHARGE ME 125.00 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT AND IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE IGNORING. *TR
