2010 Honda Civic

TIRE BLOWOUT ON FREEWAY. DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. SPEED APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. CAUSED CAR TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. CAR ENDED UP FACING OPPOSING TRAFFIC BETWEEN CARPOOL LANE AND ADJACENT LANE. REQUIRED EMERGENCY PERSONNEL TO GET CAR OFF FREEWAY. TIRE INFORMATION: MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV. DOT N4TA Y4YX 2313. TIRES WERE PURCHASED DEC 30, 2013 FAILED IN LESS THAN 4 MONTHS. THE CAR HAD 41789 MILES WHEN TIRES WERE PURCHASED (TIRES HAD LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON THEM). THEY STILL HAVE HAIRS ON THEM FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. TIRE WAS INSPECTED BY SEARS PERSONNEL (EUNG LEE) ON FOOTHILL IN PASADENA. IT WAS HIS OPINION THAT IF THERE WAS A DEFECT ALL 4 TIRES WOULD HAVE FAILED INSTEAD OF A SINGLE TIRE. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 YEARS AGO AND AFTER 6 MONTHS STARTED BRAKE PROBLEMS. CAR DOESN'T COME TO COMPLETE STOP IF DON'T PRESS IT VERY VERY HARD. WHEN I TOOK CAR TO DEALER, HE SAYS GOOD AND WORKING FINE. I TOOK CAR TO MORE THAN 10 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME. BUT I CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I APPLY BRAKES HARD. *TT

I PURCHASED NEW TIRES AT 52,000 MILES AFTER ROTATING THE OLD ONES EVERY 8,000 MILES. THE OLD TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WORE UNEVEN ON BOTH THE FRONT AND THE REAR SINCE I ROTATED THEM 5 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO APPLE HONDA IN RIVERHEAD,NEW YORK WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THE SERVICE TECH. SAID "THE REAR RIGHT CAMBER IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT ,SOMETHING IS BENT. YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP".I THINK IT CAME THIS WAY WHEN I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2010. *TR

HERE WE ARE AGAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS WITH ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN BRAKES. HAVE SPEND OVER 1800 DOLLARS ON PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS. CAR STILL WEARING OUT BRAKES IN UNDER 10K. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. COUNTLESS FOLKS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN THE BRAKE DESIGN OR MATERIALS. *TR

THE IGNITION-LOCK SYSTEMS ALLOWS MY CAR TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHEN I REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT EVER PUTTING MY CAR INTO PARK. IT HAS ROLLING IN THE PARKING LOT. I VISIT MY LOCAL DEALER AT HONDA TARRYTOWN, THEY TOOK THE CARE FOR 6 DAYS CHANGE THE KEYS, THE COMPUTER, LOCK ASSY, CONTROL MODULE AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THE KEY STILL COMES OUT WHILE IN DRIVE. INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS COVER UNDER GUARANTEE. I AGREE TO ALL THE REPAIRS BUT THEY WANTED ME TO PAY $2,400 BECAUSE THE PART WERE NOT COVER. I ENDED UP PAYING $136.02 TO COVER THE DIAGNOSTICS. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. IT WAS THE WRONG DIAGNOSTIC AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. *TR

OTHER DRIVER SLAMMED INTO REAR OF MY CAR AT ABOUT 30 MPH. I RECALL GOING FORWARD INSIDE MY CAR BUT IT SEEMS SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN. TURNS OUT MY DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME WAS BROKEN IN THE ACCIDENT AND MY BEST GUESS IS ENTIRE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS GOING FORWARD. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS USUAL OR NOT. I'VE NOT HEARD OF IT. ALSO, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER THE FACT THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS MOVING FORWARD IS REASON SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FELT STEERING TIGHTEN UP WENT TO TURN AROUND CORNER AND COULD NOT STEER CAR THE STEERING WAS LOCKED UP STOPPED IMMEDIATELY LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME.TURNED STEERING WHEEL FORCEFULLY TO RIGHT AND LEFT AND IT SEEMED FINE STARTED OUT STEERING TIGHTENED AGAIN. STOPPED DRIVING CAR FOR COUPLE MONTHS CALLED PAYAS AUTO WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY CAME AND GOT IT THEY INDICATED IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE CAR WORKED STEERING WAS FINE. THEN WINTER IN VERMONT HIT AGAIN ONE COLD MORNING I WENT OUT STARTED THE CAR LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WENT TO LEAVE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP LEFT CAR RUNNING FOR AN HOUR AND STEERING WAS WORKING GOT ON THE INTERSTATE IT WAS 17 DEGREES GOING 70 MPH STEERING LOCKED UP GOT OFF INTERSTATE SLOWED DOWN TO 45 MPH STEERING WAS STIFF YET NOT LOCKED AS IT WAS WHEN I WAS GOING 70. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TRUE PROBLEM IS WITH THE STEERING HOWEVER IT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE THE COLD IS FREEZING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SINCE THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED POWER STEERING DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS CAR IT CAN NOT BE POWER STEERING FLUID PROBLEM. I AM TODAY, TAKING CAR TO AUTOMASTER MY HOPE IS THEY WILL GET TO THE TRUE PROBLEM IT IS NOT A FUSE AND IT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS(AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS STEERING PROBLEM EVERY TIME THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 30 DEGREES). *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WAS NOT STAYING IN PLACE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. YESTERDAY, WHEN I TRIED TO ADJUST IT, THE WHOLE THING CAME RIGHT OFF. THE VISOR SPLIT OPEN AND A BUNCH OF LITTLE PLASTIC PIECES INSIDE WERE BROKEN. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE PART COSTS $45 AND LUCKILY I'M NOT BEING CHARGED A SERVICE FEE. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I HAVE READ A LOT ABOUT IT ONLINE AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER USES SUCH CHEAP PARTS THAT WILL MELT OR BREAK. *TR
