Fuel system, other, storage, tank assemblyNov 1, 2007
ON CERTAIN COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) VEHICLES, IN THE EVENT OF A SEVERE INTERIOR FIRE IN THE AREA OF THE REAR SEAT, THE CNG TANK MAY BE HEATED UNEVENLY, PREVENTING THE PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICE FROM VENTING THE CONTENTS OF THE TANK AS DESIGNED.

ON CERTAIN SEDAN AND HYBRID (CNG) VEHICLES, DURING ASSEMBLY, THE TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN MECHANISM MAY HAVE BEEN OVER-LUBRICATED WITH SILICONE GREASE. OVER TIME, SOME OF THIS EXTRA GREASE MAY DRIP ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH CAUSING THE SWITCH TO FAIL.

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.

Seat belts, Nov 15, 2012
DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT FRAYED. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT SEATBELT BEING CAUGHT IN THE DOOR CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE SEATBELT. THE SEATBELT DOES NOT RETRACT FULLY, SO THIS MAY BE CAUSING THE BELT TO BE CLOSED IN THE DOOR. THE SEATBELT MATERIAL SHOULD BE STRONG AND DURABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE DAMAGED BY A DOOR. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. AN ORDER FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WAS NOT COMPLETED BY THE DEALERSHIP, SO OF COURSE, PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP, WITH A FAULTY SAFETY COMPONENT OF THE CAR (SEATBELT) AND NO GUARANTEE OF DRIVER SAFETY AND PROPER FUNCTION OF THE SEATBELT IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. COST IS NOT AN ISSUE, SINCE THE SAFETY OF FAMILY COMES FIRST AND OWNER IM WILLING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARGES SINCE THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. SCHEDULED WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *TR

THE REAR WHEELS HAD EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH TIRES, BECAUSE OF THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM BEING TOO SHORT, CAUSING THE CAMBER TO BE OUT. THIS IN TURN, CAUSED MISALIGNMENT AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. I HAD NO WARNING OF HOW FAST MY TIRES WERE WEARING OUT, AND THEY ALMOST WORE TO THE STEEL BELT, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I REGULARLY SERVICE MY HONDA CIVIC AT THE HONDA DEALER FOR EACH OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION, BUT WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY PROBLEMS AT THE LAST SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED TO BE FIXED. *TR

I PURCHASED A SLIGHTLY USED CIVIC FROM A DEALER IN JANUARY OF 2009 AND BEGAN TO DRIVE IT ON ICY ROADS IN ONTARIO WINTER. MY WIFE WHO USUALLY DRIVES THE CAR COMPLAINED SHE WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT IF THERE WAS ANY ICE ON THE ROAD SURFACE BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY SHIFT POSITION SIDEWAYS IN THE LANE. I FOUND THE REAR TIRES WORN OUT VERY FAST ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH WHEELS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT HONDA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPLACE THE REAR UPPER STRUTS WITH A LONGER UNIT. THE DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT AFTER I BROUGHT IT UP VOLUNTEERED TO REPLACE THEM AND NEGOTIATED WITH ME FOR HALF THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE TIRES. I THOUGHT THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT SET OF REAR TIRES ALSO WORE PREMATURELY ON THE INSIDE IN ABOUT 25000 MILES. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER HE TOLD ME I NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. I PAID FOR AN ALIGNMENT AT AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THE REAL WHEELS COULD NOT B ADJUSTED TO CORRECT THE NEGATIVE CAMBER. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT HONDA DID NOT RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT AND THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER ANY REMEDY. HE DID A FREE REALIGNMENT FOR ME WITH DIFFICULTY AND SAID TO ROTATE MY TIRES MORE OFTEN. I TRIED THAT AND MY NEXT SET OF TIRES WORE OUT ON THE INSIDE JUST THE SAME. THE DEALER DID SAY THERE WAS AN AFTERMARKET PART THAT MAY CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION ($600). I HAVE ABOUT 180000 KILOMETERS ON THE VEHICLE.THE VEHICLE MAKES REAR NOISE AND THE VIBRATION CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Suspension, Aug 16, 2012
I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE NEW AND IT ABSOLUTELY EATS TIRES IN THE REAR. THE TIRE WEAR IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND EVENTUALLY LEADS TO PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME 2 TIMES ON HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHERE THE TIRE HAS HAD A BLOWOUT. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH A DESIGN FLAW IN THE REAR CONTROL ARMS THAT CAUSES THE WEAR, BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE CONTROL ARM, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS DESIGN ISSUE KILLS SOMEONE FROM A TIRE RELATED FAILURE. YOU CAN'T SEE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S ON THE VERY INNER MOST PART OF THE TIRE. IT ISN'T JUST THAT IT MAKES THE TIRE BALD - THERE IS SEVERE CUPPING AND THE TIRE IS MORE WORN IN SOME SPOTS THAN OTHERS. SO EVEN IF YOU VISUALLY INSPECT THE TIRE, BY GETTING ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES AND PUTTING YOUR HEAD UNDER THE CAR, YOU COULD MISS WHERE THE TIRE IS ALMOST WORN THROUGH, IF THE CAR IS SITTING ON THAT PART OF THE TIRE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS! IT MAKES ROTATING THE TIRES UNADVISABLE BECAUSE IT RUINS ALL 4 TIRES INSTEAD OF JUST THE REAR TWO. IT MAKES IT SO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TIRES IS CONSIDERABLY LESS BECAUSE PARTS OF THE TIRE ARE SEVERLY COMPROMISED. *TR
