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.

THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO LEAK COOLANT, WHICH LED TO THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENSION WARRANTY FOR CRACK BLOCKAGE IN THE ENGINE OF HONDA'S BETWEEN 2006-EARLY 2009. FOR THAT I TOOK MY CAR IN BUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS ONLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR THE CRACKED BLOCK AND NOT THE DAMAGE DONE DO TO THIS ISSUE. NO LIGHT CAME ON TO WARN THAT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING, THEREFORE I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL I COULD SMELL IT.

ON JULY 4, 2016 MY VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT I PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO ADD COOLANT AND WATER. 6 WEEKS LATER SAME THING. I PULLED IN PARKING SPOT AND FILLED IT UP AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS FINE. ON AUGUST 28TH I WAS DRIVING UP MT. SOLEDAD GOING 25 MPH WITH AC ON LOWEST NOTCH RPMS BELOW 3. THEN AS I STOPPED TO TURN LEFT MY ENGINE STOPPED (SEIZED ) I PULLED MY E-BRAKE AND SAFELY HAD MY BF WITH BY STANDER PUSH MY VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THEN I TRIED TO START VEHICLE NOTHING. AAA CAME OUT SAID MAYBE ITS FUEL PUMP, FUSES, SPARK PLUGS. THE NEXT DAY AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING. I SPENT ALL AFTERNOON TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ALTERNATOR, FUSE, FUEL PUMP USSUES. NEXT DAY MY MECHANIC FRIEND CAME OVER TROUBLESHOOTING THE SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP AND DID ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST NONE. MY HEART SANK. THEN HE SAID THIS CAR HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH A REPAIR WOULD BE OR NEW ENGINE HE SAID ABOUT 1800. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUNDS 100S MAYBE 1000S OF REPORTS ON THIS SECRET EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK ON MODELS 2006 TO 2009 HONDA CIVIC. MOST REPORTS WERE THAT HONDA COULDN'T DO ANYTHING IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS DEEMED SALVAGE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. THE PREVIOUS OWNER MY MOTHER OR, MYSELF COULD'VE BEEN IN BAD ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN ZERO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD IMPACT THE ENGINE ASIDE FROM TINY FENDER BENDERS IN THE SHOPPING MARKET. I BELIEVE ALL HONDA OWNERS SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH BAD ENGINE BLOCK. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. A LAWSUIT WOULD HAVE FOLOWED IF I ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL DUE TO THEIR POOR QUALITY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH ENGINE BLOCK. THIS ISN'T OVER. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTHS SINCE THE TAKATA RECALL, AND APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL (NOTE THE DELAY BEFORE CONSUMERS RECEIVED THIS CRITICAL SAFETY INFO). IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT ANY FRONT PASSENGERS' SAFETY IS AT RISK AND FOR SO LONG WITHOUT ANY REMEDY OR EVEN AN UPDATE FROM HONDA AS TO WHEN ONE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED LOCAL DEALERS AND IT SEEMS THEY TOO ARE UNSURE. HONDA SHOULD BE GIVING US TEMPORARY LEASES OR SOMETHING TO ENSURE SAFETY WHILE ALL THOSE AFFECTED WAIT. I HAVE BARELY USED MY CAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE IN FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN SHOULD MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH ME FOR THE SAME REASON. AGAIN, THIS EXCESSIVE DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL ON JUNE 20, 2016, I NOTICED MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED, AND I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME. ON 7/26/2016, I CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG - IN RESPONSE TO A LETTER I HAD RECEIVED FROM HONDA. I WAS SWITCHED TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER, AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN IT IS IN. THE LETTER ALSO ADVISED THAT I AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. AS OF AUGUST 26, 2016, I HAVE NOT YET BEEN CALLED, AND I CANNOT TRANSPORT ANY PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT HAS INTERFERED SUBSTANTIALLY WITH MY USE AND ENJOYMENT OF MY VEHICLE, AND IT IS TAKING AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE VEHICLE LOSS OF USE AS WELL AS HAVING THE AIR BAG INFLATOR REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL: MY INITIAL CONTACT WITH HONDA OCCURRED AFTER RECEIVING MY RECALL THROUGH THE MAIL AROUND JULY 8TH. I AM CONTACTING YOU AFTER NUMEROUS EFFORTS IN CONTACTING THE HONDA RECALL CENTER IN REGARDS TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC. TO DATE I HAVE CALLED HONDA AMERICA THREE TIMES IN AN EFFORT TO OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WHILE I AWAIT THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX MY CAR, AND FAXED THEM AN ADDITIONAL TIME AFTER NO RESPONSE FROM THE CALL CENTER. I HAVE A FAMILY OF FIVE WHO USES THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY, THEREFORE I AM NOT ABLE TO LEAVE THE PASSENGER SEAT UNOCCUPIED, AS SUGGESTED. AS A RESULT, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR NEARLY A MONTH, AND HAVE BEEN BORROWING CARS FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY. EACH TIME I CALL HONDA CORPORATE I AM ADVISED THAT MY CASE WILL BE FORWARDED TO A CASE MANAGER, WHO WILL CONTACT ME TO AUTHORIZE A RENTAL VEHICLE. AFTER NEARLY A MONTH SINCE MY INITIAL CONTACT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM A SUPERVISOR. AFTER MY LATEST CALL THIS MORNING I WAS TRANSFERRED TO A SUPERVISOR WHO MAINTAINED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE SHE COULD DO AT THIS TIME, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WAIT TO HEAR FROM A CASE MANAGER. I UNDERSTAND THAT MILLIONS OF VEHICLES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL, HOWEVER AFTER THIS LONG I CAN NO LONGER GO WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I AM SENDING THIS MESSAGE IN HOPES TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE, OR FOR A REPRESENTATIVE TO BE MADE FULLY AWARE OF HONDA'S UNCOOPERATIVE NATURE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, OR THE BURDEN WE HAVE HAD TO ENDURE. DUE TO THE AGE AS WELL AS THE MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE IT SEEMS THAT THE AIRBAG INTERNALS MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT WEAR.

THE NOTICE SPECIFIED THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE RECALL LINE AT (888) 234-2138) AND INFORMED THE SUPPORT TECHNICIAN THAT MY HUSBAND IS A PERMANENTLY DISABLED VETERAN (MAJOR USAR RETIRED) WHO CANNOT RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE OF HIS DISABILITY AND WHO NOW CANNOT RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE RISK OF THE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. THE SUPPORT TECHNICIAN SAID SHE WOULD ESCALATE A REQUEST FOR A LOANER CAR AND THAT A CASE MANAGER WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS. THIS CALL NEVER CAME. I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL LINE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, JULY 29, 2016; I RECEIVED AN APOLOGY AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT A SECOND REQUEST WOULD BE PUT THROUGH AND THAT A CASE MANAGER WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS. AGAIN, NO CALL CAME. DURING THIS PERIOD MY HUSBAND AND I WERE FORCED TO RENT A CAR FOR FOUR DAYS IN ORDER TO VISIT HIS 93-YEAR OLD MOTHER FOR HER BIRTHDAY. I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL LINE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2016. I RECEIVED ANOTHER APOLOGY, AND THIS TIME THE SUPPORT TECHNICIAN TRANSFERRED ME TO THE ESCALATIONS DEPARTMENT. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO SAID THAT SHE WOULD PUT A FLAG ON THE LOANER REQUEST THAT SPECIFIED THE REQUEST WAS A "MEDICAL EMERGENCY." FOUR WEEKS HAVE PASSED SINCE MY FIRST REQUEST. MY HUSBAND AND I NEED NHTSA TO INTERVENE ON OUR BEHALF TO GET A LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE FROM HONDA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN RESUME OUR NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITIES WITHOUT FEAR OF INJURY. FINALLY, IF NHSTA CAN OFFER US SOME ADVICE ON WHOM TO CONTACT FOR CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT, PLEASE DO SO. THANK YOU.

SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND RESET THE CODE. HONDA SAID MY SRS LIGHT BEING ON MEANS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF IN ACCIDENT. HONDA RESET MY LIGHT AND SAID TO COME BACK IF THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON AS SOON AS LEFT DEALER. CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO COME BACK AND THEY WOULD REPLACE MY AIRBAG AT NO COST. ONCE AT DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $685.40 FOR CABLE REEL AND $833.43 FOR PARTS FOR DRIVERS AIRBAG. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHICH HONDA IS FAILING TO ADDRESSING LEAVING PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE $1500 TO PAY THEM TO FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG EQUIPMENT HAVING TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RUNAROUND AND INCONSISTENT INFORMATION HONDA DEALERSHIP PROVIDED. I DID NOT DECLINE FOR THEM TO FIX MY AIRBAG AND CABLE REEL, I COULD NOT AFFORD THEIR QUOTED COST OF $1,500 FOR THEM TO FIX THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR.

WIPERS DO NOT PARK WHEN TURNED OFF AFTER USE IN THE APPROPRIATE SPOT. THEY CONTINUE TO RUN FOR SEVERAL MORE CYCLES UNTIL THEY PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHILD. THIS CAUSES A VIEW OBSTRUCTION WHILE DRIVING AND ULTIMATELY DISTRACTS THE DRIVER. THE WIPERS HAVE TO BE TUNRED ON AND OFF NUMEROUS TIMES SO THAT THE WIPERS END UP IN THE CORRECT POSITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. ALSO THE CONTINUOUS RUNNING OF THE WIPERS WHEN THE WINDOW IS DRY RESULTS IN FREQUENT REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER BLADES IN ORDER TO PREVENT SCRATCHING ON THE WINDSHIELD BY THE WORN OUT RUBBER INSERT. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY THE WIPER MOTOR MALFUNCTIONING.
