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.

2007 HONDA CIVIC SUN VISORS BREAK AND WILL NOT STAY UP. DRIVER CANNOT SEE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WITHOUT HOLDING THE SUN VISOR UP WITH HIS/HER HAND. VISOR FALLS BACK DOWN AS SOON AS IT IS PUSHED UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S VISION IS IMPAIRED. DRIVER'S VISOR JUST BROKE, WHILE PASSENGER VISOR ALSO BROKE A FEW MONTHS AGO -- SUGGESTS THE VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE. CAR ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC THAT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN JULY 2007. IN AUGUST 2007 THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CAME APART AND WAS HANGING DOWN MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. SINCE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER REPLACED IT FOR FREE. AT THE TIME THEY HAD TOLD US THEY REPLACED NUMEROUS VISORS. NOW IT'S AUGUST 2010 AND IT'S BROKEN AGAIN. THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE VISOR FOR THIS REASON. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES APART IT HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN AND CAN'T BE PUSHED UP TO STAY. I HAVE READ ONLINE FORUMS WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I LIVE NOW IN TENNESSEE THEY SAID THEY HAVE REPLACED A 'TON" OF THE VISORS. OBVIOUSLY HONDA HAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR
