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.

HONDA CIVIC SUN VISORS, SPLIT, BREAK AND LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO STAY FIXED WHILE DRIVING. I'M IN NEED IN REPLACING MY 3RD SUN VISOR. THE VISORS ON THE HONDA CIVIC DROPS AND OBSTRUCTS A CLEAR VIEW WHEN DRIVING AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HONDA DEALERS TELL CONSUMERS THAT IT'S DUE TO HEAT IN THE AREA WHERE I LIVE, BUT THERE ARE MANY WEBSITES LISTING COMPLAINTS FROM WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO LIVE IN AN AREAS WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES. REGARDLESS OF WHERE ONE RESIDES, I AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR WITH FEAR THAT THE VISOR WILL DROP WITHOUT WARNING, STARTLE ME AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. HOW DOES ONE GET THROUGH TO THE HONDA MANUFACTURER THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RESOLVED, NOT JUST REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. *TR

MY PAINT CRACKED ON MY HOOD, ROOF AND FENDERS. I DID HAVE BIRD POOP EAT THROUGH THE PAINT ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. I KNEW HONDA WOULDN'T COVER THE BIRD POOP BUT I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE CRACKS. HONDA SERVICE SAID THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE CRACKS FROM WHO KNOWS WHAT SO I HAD TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I HAD TO HAVE ALL THOSE PLACES ON MY CAR PAINTED. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PAINT AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME. I BELIEVE HONDA'S PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR'S PAINT BE SO SOFT AND OF POOR QUALITY. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR AND BELIEVE IF THE PAINT DOESN'T HOLD UP THEN RUST WILL ENSUE AND THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THE GUY AT THE BODY SHOP SAID THAT HE HAD TO REPAINT 4 HONDA VANS THAT HAVE THE BLUE PAINT BECAUSE THE PAINT WAS DEFECTIVE. I BELIEVE THE SILVER PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE BUYING THESE CARS AND BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO LAST A LONG TIME AND THEY ARE NOT. MY 1992 HONDA ACCORD'S PAINT HELD UP SO WHY ISN'T MY 2007 CIVIC DOING THE SAME? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

HONDA HAS INSTALLED FAULTY REAR CONTROL ARMS ON THEIR 2007 HONDA CIVICS. THEY WILL NOT RECALL THIS PART. THEY HAVE ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. THE DEFECTIVE PART CAUSES THE TIRES IN THE REAR TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND IN A CUPPING MANNER. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN KNOW TO BLOW OUT AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES. HONDA REPLACES THE PART BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THE REPAIR SHOPS WILL ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO LEAVE WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID - THE OEM REAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY WEARS THE INNER EDGE OF THE TIRES EXTREMELY QUICKLY. HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (08-001) IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING THE PROBLEM WITH REPLACEMENT UPPER CONTROL ARMS. THE DEALER/HONDA REFUSES TO COVER PARTS/LABOR CHARGES FOR CORRECTION ON A CAR THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IMPACTS SAFETY AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD CORRECT IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

THE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE IT UP INTO THE PROPER CLOSED POSITION, BUT SINCE I PARK IN THE SUN, AND NEED TO USE A SUN SHADE, I NEED TO PUT DOWN THE SUN SHADE, THEN MUSCLE IT BACK INTO THE CLOSED POSITION AGAIN. THIS MORNING AS I PUT DOWN THE SHADE, I HEARD A LOUD CRACKING SOUND, AND SAW THAT THE SHADE IS FALLING APART NOW, WITH BROKEN PIECES OF PLASTIC NOW FALLING OUT OF THE SHADE. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. I HAVE A 100 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK, SO THE CAR WAS LONG OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, BASED ON MILEAGE, AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT MY COST, SO I WILL HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT MYSELF, AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL INITIATED BY HONDA FOR THIS EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE. *TR

I DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, CONFRONTED THEM AND FINALLY THEY "REPAIRED" REAR CONTROL ARM???? BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE MY WORN TIRES OR GIVE ME A TIRE ALIGNMENT. I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT MY EXPENSE AND NOW 4,000 MILES LATER , I HEAR EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE AND WONDER IF THE PROBLEM WAS EVER FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ROAD HAZARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS TOO SHORT AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO BEND INWARD AND FORM A BLISTER. THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF $230.00. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS AND NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE OFFERED. THERE IS A CURRENT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD CONTINUE TO OCCUR AND RESULT IN THE REAR TIRES HAVING TO BE REPLACED CONTINUOUSLY.

I BOUGHT A NEW 07 HONDA CIVIC SI SEDAN. THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. IN FACT THEY ARE BUILT TO GIVE THE REAR TIRES MORE NEGATIVE CAMBER FOR BETTER TRACTION AROUND TURNS. IF I PUT TWO PEOPLE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR IT GIVES ME EVEN MORE NEGATIVE CAMBER AND WITH THAT MY I GO THROUGH TIRES QUICK. I HAVE EVEN NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH SNOW THE CAR WANTS TO CHANGE LANES BY ITSELF. I STILL HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PUT ADJUSTABLE CONTROL ARMS IN THE REAR LIKE THE OTHER CIVICS. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. I CAN SEE THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOME ONE WAS USING THIS AS A FAMILY CAR AND NEVER CHECKED THERE BACK TIRES. THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND BLOW OUTS. I HAVE TO ROTATE MY TIRES EVERY 2K MILES AND WE MOSTLY JUST DRIVE DOWN A STRAIGHT FREEWAY. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY '07 CIVIC HYBRID TO MY DEALER IN MAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THEY TOLD ME ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN OUT TREADS. THE CAR ONLY HAD 18500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME, SO I WAS FLABBERGASTED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SUGGESTED I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TOO AGGRESSIVELY. WHILE RESEARCHING REPLACEMENT TIRES ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PREMATURE TIRE WEAR HAD HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER CIVIC OWNERS. IN FACT, HONDA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (008-001) FOR THIS BACK IN EARLY '08. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR CONTROL ARMS WHICH CAN CAUSE UNEVEN OR PREMATURE TIRE WEAR IN ALL 2006-2007 CIVICS, EXCEPT FOR THE SI. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, SHOWED THE ADVISOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN, AND GOT THE CONTROL ARMS FIXED. NOW WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST FIX THE CONTROL ARMS IN THE FIRST PLACE INSTEAD OF QUESTIONING THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING HABITS? SEEMS TO ME EITHER THE ADVISOR IS INCOMPETENT OR DISHONEST. I SUSPECT IT'S THE LATTER AS SHE MENTIONED THAT HONDA DOESN'T PAY THE DEALER MUCH TO COVER THE REPAIR. OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE OVER THIS ISSUE.
