Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringSep 5, 2007
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HOUSING USES AN O-RING SEAL TO PREVENT LEAKAGE TO OR FROM THE WHEEL BEARING. IF ASSEMBLED IMPROPERLY, THE O-RING MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE WHEEL BEARING AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BEARING, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE USE OF ROAD SALT IS PREVALENT. IF THE DRIVER CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WHEEL BEARING TO BECOME LOOSE, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL.
THIS COULD CAUSE A WHEEL TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR ABS SENSORS AND WHEEL BEARINGS FOR DAMAGED PARTS AND REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

Air bags, Aug 1, 2015
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI COUPE AT APPROXIMATELY 10-20MPH. WITHOUT WARNING MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED (2 AIRBAGS IN TOTAL). THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS LOUD, SHOCKED ME, AND FILLED MY CAR WITH SMOKE. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I WAS HIT; HOWEVER NO CARS WERE ON MY PASSENGER SIDE OR ABLE TO HIT ME. I PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY CAR (OTHER THAN THE INSIDE WHERE THE AIRBAGS NOW DEPLOYED). MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT. THERE WAS NO SORT OF IMPACT AND ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION/REASON THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING ON MY PASSENGER SIDE, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IF THE DRIVER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND/OR POSSIBLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND VERY CONCERNING MALFUNCTION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LOT WORSE.

I WAS ADVISED BY HONDA NORTH IN CLOVIS, CA, TO REPLACE THE OPDS SENSOR AND THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT WHICH SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. IT DID NOT! I SPENT $697.87 FOR THIS REPAIR AT VISALIA HONDA ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT RESET THE AIR BAGS. I WAS THEN TOLD THE SRS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESET THE AIR BAGS. THE QUOTED COST TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS $450.00. ALSO, I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA'S SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], THAT THEY HAD NO WAY OF DETERMINING WHY THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COMING SO REPAIRS WERE BEING MADE IN SOME KIND OF PECKING ORDER. THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED WITH AMERICAN HONDA PROVIDING THE PART WHILE I PAID $221.54 FOR THE LABOR. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN AUGUST 2014 AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA THAT THE CABLE REEL HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $413.00.

HONDA CIVIC LX 2 DOOR COUPE. MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON QUIET RESIDENTIAL STREET LOOKING AT HOMES. GOING SLOW - ESTIMATE10-12 MPH - WE HAD JUST BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP LOOKING AT A HOUSE. FOOT WAS ON BRAKE - GOING DOWN SLIGHT HILL. APPROACHED TWO METAL SEWER COVERS IN MIDDLE OF ROAD - ONE IN FRONT OF THE OTHER. MIDDLE OF CAR WENT OVER FIRST COVER AND I PRESSED BRAKE HARDER BECAUSE ROAD WAS MORE UNEVEN THEN APPEARED AND CAR SITS ALITTLE LOW TO GROUND. WAS ABOUT TO GO OVER SECOND COVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITH A LOAD EXPLOSION. WHEN I OPENED MY EYES, I SAW SMOKE AND THOUGHT CAR WAS ON FIRE. WIFE WAS HOLDING RIGHT ARM, SAID IT WAS BROKEN (IT WASN'T). IT TOOK A WHILE TO REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED. I INSPECTED BOTTOM OF CAR AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I SAW NO DAMAGE AND STARTED THE CAR - NOT SURE IF I SHUT IT OFF OR HAPPENED AUTOMATICALLY. DRIVER SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED IN POSITION. PASSENGER SEAT BELT WORKED. CAR RAN AND OPERATED NORMALLY. AIRBAGS CAUSED A LOT OF INTERIOR DAMAGE. I TOOK PICTURES OF ROAD AND SEWER COVERS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. WHILE THE CAR WAS BETWEEN THE TWO SEWER COVERS, I FELT A VIBRATION COME UP THE STEERING WHEEL. WIFE FELT AND HEARD NOTHING. I SUSPECT BOTTOM OF CAR HIT EDGE OF SECOND COVER BECAUSE IT'S SLIGHTLY ELEVATED. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE NO MARKS ON ASPHALT PAVEMENT OR METAL COVER. MY QUESTIONS ARE: * WHY DID AIRBAGS DEPLOY? WHY DID THEY DEPLOY AT THIS SPEED? WHY ONLY THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS? WHY DID SEAT BELTS LOCK ON DRIVER SIDE AND NOT PASSENGER SIDE? I'VE CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE. NO REPLIES. INSURANCE INSPECTED. CAR IS IN HONDA SHOP FOR REPAIRS. I ASKED SHOP TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON THE COMPUTER AT TIME OF DEPLOYMENT. *TR

SRS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND USUALLY WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN TERRAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RESET THE LIGHT FOR ERROR CODE 33-10 (RELATED TO AIRBAG INFLATOR). I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG IF THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. IN THE EVENT I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN TO AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED AND I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. I BELIEVE HONDA USES A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM AND CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IN FACT, I THINK HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS AND A NEW PART NUMBER TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY HONDA WAS ON FOR THE PAST MONTH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING LOTS OF HONDA CIVICS OF 2006 AND 2007 THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE WIRING HARNESS HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WEIGHT SENSOR, WHICH IS CLOSE TO A $2000 REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED HONDA CORPORATE (CUSTOMER SERVICE [XXX] AT 800-999-1009) I WAS ARROGANTLY TOLD THEY DO NOT CARE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. IT IS DISGRACEFUL THAT HONDA MARKETS SAFETY IN THEIR VEHICLES, BUT DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR SRS SYSTEM FAILING PREMATURELY. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAM ITEM AND NO ONE SITS IN MY CAR BESIDES ME. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS SINCE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHETHER OR NOT WE WEAR SEAT BELTS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
