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.

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC SI, 2007 MODEL, THAT I HAD A FLAT AND REPLACED ONE TIRE. TIRE DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIRE AT AROUND 6000 MILES, WHEN GOING IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE (ROTATION TIRES, OIL CHANGE) THE SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS BAD BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOW PULLING. WHEN STATING PULLING, IT WAS A MAJOR PULL, NOT SLIGHT PULL. I TOOK CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR, SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE IT PULL. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED TIRE. UPON GOING TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE, THE NEW TIRE WAS ROTATED TO FRONT OF CAR AGAIN AND IT WAS PULLING AGAIN. SHOP FOREMAN INSIST IT IS THE TIRE. I BRING CAR BACK TO TIRE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH TIME HE REALIZES THAT THE TIRE IS NOT THE RIGHT TIRE. ORDERS THE CORRECT TIRE AND INSTALLED IT AND THE CAR STILL PULLS. NOW THIS IS NOT REPEAT NOT A SLIGHT PULL, BUT A MAJOR PULL. IF I DO NOT HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT I WOULD BE IN THE DITCH OR OTHER LANE UPON TAKING OFF. THE PULL IS REALLY A HARD PULL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE TIRE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE CAR, CAR DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE TIRE? CAN SOMEONE HELP? PLEASE *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CIVIC 5SPD EX IN MAY OF 2007. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH IT. AT TIMES WHEN I AM IN FIRST GEAR AND I UPSHIFT TO SECOND, AS SOON AS I LET OFF OF THE CLUTCH IT WILL POP OUT INTO NEUTRAL AND MY RPMS SHOOT UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL GRIND WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT INTO SECOND OR THIRD AND DOESN'T WANT TO FULLY ENGAGE. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY GO INTO GEAR IT'S REAL ROUGH AND DOESN'T ACCELERATE AT THE SPEED IT SHOULD, IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO. I HAVE CONTACTED VANDERGRIFF HONDA WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, AND THEY SAID THAT SOME OF THE CARS HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM AND THEY CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT'S SUPPOSE TO HELP, BUT IF IT DOESN'T THEY MIGHT HAVE TO PULL THE TRANSMISSION OUT AND CHANGE 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THEY CHANGED MY FLUID AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ARE TELLING ME NOW THAT IT SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I SHOULDN'T BE EXPERIENCING IT ANYMORE. THEY ALSO SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. GO FIGURE! I NEED MY CAR FIXED THAT IS THE SOLE PURPOSE OF MY NEW CAR PURCHASE SO I WOULDN'T HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS LIKE THIS!!

Power train, Mar 17, 2008
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND RECENTLY (WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS) HAVE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION 'SLIPPING' OR NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY. IF IT WERE A CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH (MECHANICAL) IT WOULD BE DESCRIBED AS NEEDING ADJUSTMENT TO LET THE ADJUSTMENT 'OUT' AS TO BETTER ENGAGE THE CLUTCH TO THE POWER SOURCE. SINCE IT IS A CVT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT AVAILABLE, AND REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY. MY INCIDENT: I WAS DRIVING HOME, WHICH TAKES ME THROUGH ABOUT 33 MILES OF A WINDING HILLY ROAD. THERE WAS A SLOW DRIVER, HOLDING UP ABOUT 6-7 CARS, OF WHICH I WAS PLACED NEXT TO LAST (ONE BEHIND ME.) THERE IS A PASSING LANE THAT WAS APPROACHING, AND WHEN WE REACHED THE PASSING LANE, THE SLOW-POKE PULLED OUT TO LET US PASS. THE SLIPPING OF THIS TRANSMISSION WAS ALMOST A KILLER-AS WE (ALL OF THE TRAILING CARS) SPED UP TO PASS (ALL WITHIN APPROPRIATE SPEEDS, CLEARANCES, ETC). I HAD JUST STARTED TO ACCELERATE, WHEN THIS !@#$% SLIPPING BEGAN, AND I WATCHED AS THE TACH WENT TO ALMOST RED-LINE, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T GAIN ANY SPEED-IT STAYED AT ABOUT 35-36 MPH, WHICH WAS THE SPEED WE WERE GOING WHEN THE PASSING ATTEMPT STARTED. THIS WAS ALLEGEDLY A PROBLEM IN EARLIER YEAR MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THE CAUSE WAS THE SAME. IN ANY CASE, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEVELOPMENT, AND I WANT IT FIXED. MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND I WILL DRIVE IT TO A HONDA DEALER IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO, BUT I DO NOT WANT ANY TROUBLE GETTING THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. ALSO, SINCE THE FIRST NOTICED OCCURRENCE, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS OCCURRING ALMOST EVERY TIME I TRY TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES IT FEELS MINOR, BUT OTHER TIMES IT JUST TACHS UP TO 4,5,OR 6 GRAND, WHILE NOT INCREASING SPEED AT ALL. I HOPE NO ONE DIES BEFORE I CAN GET THIS TO THE DEALER.....ESPECIALLY MY WIFE, OR MYSELF! *TR

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 2007. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH OR MORE ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR SEEMED TO SWERVE AND WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE. I'VE DRIVEN HONDA CIVICS AND OTHER SMALL CARS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS SO THIS WAS VERY UNEXPECTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE FINE AND THAT THEY SAW NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I CONTINUED TO NOTICE THE DIFFICULTY IN STEERING THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE BRIDGESTONE FACTORY TIRES WERE ROTATED AT 6000 MILES. MOVING THE TIRES SEEMED TO DECREASE THE PROBLEM SO I AGAIN MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER. THEY AGAIN CHECKED ALL TIRES AND ASSURED ME NO PROBLEM EXISTED. SIX THOUSAND MILES LATER, ANOTHER ROTATION AND ONCE AGAIN THE PROBLEM STARTS OCCURRING AGAIN. THE DEALER CHECKED TIRES AGAIN AND STILL CAN FIND NO PROBLEM. I THINK THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES THAT COME WITH THESE CIVICS. *TR
