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.

REAR CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE AND CAUSE DANGEROUSLY UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. *TR
Suspension, Apr 21, 2013
AFTER 16000 MI THE REAR TIRES WHERE CUPPED AND WORN TO THE BELTS ON THE INSIDE EDGE, PURCHASED NEW TIRES AND 15000 MI LATER THE EXACT SAME ABNORMAL TIRE WARE WAS EXPERIANCED. DEALER REPLACED REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS WHICH WERE DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR TIRES, LABOR, AND A 4WHEEL ALIGNMENT. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ADMIT THAT ITS TSB SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! *TR
Suspension, Wheels, Apr 19, 2013
WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT $14,000 MILES I IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO HEAR NOISE FROM THE TIRES AT HIGHWAY SPEED BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL MY FAILED INSPECTION THAT I NOTICED THE SEVERITY OF THE UNEVEN WEAR/EAR ON MAINLY THE BACK TIRES. DUE TO A CONTROL ARM RECALL, I WENT TO HONDA IN ORDER TO GET THIS FIXED AND PURCHASED MY OWN TIRES AT THE TIME SINCE THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT. UNFORTUNATELY, ABOUT 19,000 MILES LATER, AGAIN MY INSPECTION FAILED DUE TO THE TIRES. I HAD REPLACED IT AGAIN BUT AT THIS TIME HONDA WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AND TOLD ME THAT IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY POINT AND IF I BRING IT IN AND THEY FIND THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AS ITS NOT COVERED UNDER MY GENERAL WARRANTY. I DON'T GET THIS BECAUSE CLEARLY IT IS A MANUFACTURES RECALL AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PLUS MY TIRES EVERY 19,000 MILES. I PURPOSELY CHOSE TO BUY A HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE ECONOMICAL AND RELIABLE. NONE OF WHICH MY '07 HONDA CIVIC EX HAS BEEN. I TRIED TAKING IT OUT WITH NEW TIRES DURING THE SNOW; BIGGEST MISTAKE. EVEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN IS A HAZARD. THIS SHOULD BE A HUGE WARNING FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A HONDA CIVIC. THESE CARS ARE NOT WORTH THE PRICE IF THE TIRES ARE NOT RELIABLE. TIRES ARE AN IMPORTANT SECTOR OF A CAR. THIS IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING AND I WOULD NOT THINK TWICE ABOUT TAKING THIS MATTER TO COURT. *TR

THE CAR OVERHEATED AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK THAT HONDA ADMITTED IS A DEFECT OF THIS MODEL CAR BUT THEY ARE ONLY COVERING REPAIR FOR PEOPLE WHO COME IN WITH A PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK WITH A NEW ONE. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH SINCE THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND PAID APPROX. $380 FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INITIAL PROBLEM. LESS THEN AN HOUR AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS DUST ON A SENSOR DO TO THE WORK THEY DID. THEY CLAIMED TO REPAIR IT FOR NO CHARGE. THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT FOR 20 MILES WITH NO PROBLEM. AGAIN WITHIN AN HOUR OF GETTING THE CAR BACK THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR A 4TH TIME. *TR

THE CAR GOES OUT OF THIRD GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. I HAVE HAD THREE CLOSE CALLS ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO THE FACT THAT AS YOUR ACCELERATING THE GEAR STOPS WORKING AND LEAVES THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHEN YOU SHOULD BE GOING FORWARD. THIS CAUSES THE CAR BEHIND YOU TO BRAKE SUDDENLY OR YOU TO LOOSE FOCUS OF WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU SINCE YOU TEND TO LOOK DOWN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND DO NOT EXPECT YOU CAR TO BE OUT OF GEAR. *TR

PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. 08 001 WAS A CODE I READ ON THE INTERNET, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS, BUT SUTHERLAND HONDA IN FREDERICTON, N.B.
