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.

Wheels, Mar 10, 2016
THERE IS UNEVEN WEAR ON MY TIRES WHICH HAS CAUSED LARGE VIBRATIONS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND VERY DANGEROUS HANDLING IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. I JUST REPLACED MY TIRES, WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNER (I BOUGHT IT FROM HIM IN OCTOBER 2014) STATED WERE ALMOST NEW AT PURCHASE TIME. THE INNER EDGE OF EACH TIRE WAS WORN DOWN. I ALSO BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ALIGNMENT TODAY AND FOUND THAT THE REAR CAMBER IS NEGATIVE 2.5 DEGREES ON BOTH SIDES, BUT THAT CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THIS CAMBER ISSUE, PLUS REGULAR TIRE ROTATIONS, ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSED THE INNER EDGE WEAR ON EACH TIRE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS OF THE 06-08 ERA (SEE 2008 SERVICE BULLETIN, ATTACHED), BUT HONDA IS NO LONGER PERFORMING FIXES, AND THE FIX DID NOT NECESSARILY RECTIFY THE TIRE WEAR ISSUE. I HAVE BRAND NEW TIRES TODAY, BUT I EXPECT THAT THEY WILL ALSO WEAR OUT LONG BEFORE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRES... IT SEEMS THAT MY LAST TIRES LASTED ONLY ABOUT 25K BEFORE THE CAR FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
Visibility/wiper, Feb 25, 2016
WIPERS WILL NOT PARK IN CORRECT SPOT BLOCKING VISIBILITY, ALSO WILL NOT STOP AND CAN CONTINUE GOING FOR MINUTES ON END AFTER BEING SWITCHED OFF. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO MY DRIVING. FEEL HONDA SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES.
Wheels, Feb 10, 2016
I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BUY NEW TIRES FOR THIS CAR, LIKE AT LEAST 2 TIRES A YEAR. THEY WEAR DOWN UNEVENLY AND IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ROTATE AND BUY NEW ONES. I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY AND TIRES ARE EXPENSIVE. I'M A STAY AT HOME MOM, SO I'M NOT EVEN OUT DRIVING DAILY OR GOING ON LONG ROAD TRIPS.

Visibility/wiper, Feb 4, 2016
THE WIPER MOTOR OR WIPER CONTROL MODULE IS KNOWN TO STOP WORKING CORRECTLY ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE LOWERS DURING WINTER THE WIPERS DO NOT SEAT CORRECTLY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN OFF AFTER BEING USED. THEY WILL SOMETIMES STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW UNTIL THEY ARE MOVED AGAIN. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WIPERS STOP IN THE CORRECT PARKED SPOT. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO CONTINUE TO ACTIVATE THE WIPERS UNTIL THEY ARE CLEAR OF THE FIELD OF VIEW. THE CAUSES EXTRA WEAR AND TEAR ON THE WIPER BLADES, CAUSING THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO HAVE TO PURCHASE MORE WIPER BLADES THAN NEEDED. LIVING IN WASHINGTON STATE, WHERE IT RAINS QUIET A BIT, THIS MAKES ME HAVE TO SPEND EXTRA MONEY ON WIPER BLADES. HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE WIPER MOTOR. THEIR SUGGESTION IS TO HAVE THE WIPER MOTOR REPLACED, WHICH I HAVE DONE ONCE ALREADY IN THE WINTER OF 2013. AS OF THIS WINTER, 2015-2016, THE WIPERS HAVE BEGAN TO NOT PARK CORRECTLY AFTER BEING USED AGAIN, AGAIN BLOCKING THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD TAKE A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH TO SEE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HONDA HAS ALREADY SAID THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL, BUT I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND OTHER SIMILAR MODELS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAPPENS ALL ALL TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE, WHETHER IT'S AT SLOW OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

WHEN DRIVING AND MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS OR U TURNS, THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR(27000 MILES). THE DEALER VISUALLY INSPECTED THE FRONT END BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THE KNOCKING CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. THE CAR HAS 51000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

HONDA DEALER IS REPAIRING THOSE CARS WITH FREE BUT WON'T DO MINE BECAUSE MINE IS SALVAGE TITLED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT 3 YEARS AGO. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR. THE PROBLEM IS ORIGINATED FROM THE FACTORY. THEY ARE AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE SIMPLY IT IS SALVAGE TITLED. HONDA COMPANY DOESN'T CARE IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE IT IS JUST SALVAGE TITLED?. I DON'T THINK THAT IS RIGHT HUMANITY.
