AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED 2007 HONDA CIVIC NEW. HAD ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ON 2008. HAD DEALER FIX. LIGHT CAME ON 2009. HAD DEALER FIX. LIGHT CAME BACK ON 2010. NOW VEHICLE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED. DID NOT WORRY BECAUSE PASSENGER SIDE AIR ONLY AND MY SON DRIVE MOSTLY BY HIMSELF. LIGHT HAVE BEEN ON EVER SINCE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR RECALL OF AIRBAGS 7/2016. HAD DEALER LOOK AT SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT AGAIN. THEY TELL ME THE I HAD A FAULTY FLOOR HARNESS AND ALL MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK AND COST OF REPAIR AFTER DISCOUNT TO BE $1600. I CALL AMERICAN HONDA ON 8/1 TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER COST OF REPAIR. THEY DID NOT. BASE ON MY RESEARCH, I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR. 2007 HONDA CIVIC HAVE THIS PROBLEM SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE CODE 32-10. I THINK MY CAR FAULTY HARNESS ISSUE WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND IT CAUSE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON CONSTANTLY AND WHY THE REPAIR NEVER LASTED MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SAME AS WITH THE SEAT BELT AND AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD COVER COST OF REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA HAS SERVICE NOTICE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA CIVIC ONLY. MY MILEAGE IS 85080 AT THIS TIME.

AIR BAGS
I CALLED IT HAVE THE PARTS ON MY AIR ORDER. I WAS NOT GIVEN ANOTHER CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL MY AIR BAGS ARE REPLACED AND FIX. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN AND ALL THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR THAT I PAY FOR EVERY MONTH. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A SAFE WAY TO KEEP YOUR CUSTOMER SAFELY ON THE RODE. I AM SURE THAT YOU WOULD NOT PLACE YOUR KIDS IN DANGER WHY SHOULD I HAVE TOO?

STRUCTURE:BODY
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 07V-399 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: Q56 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION: '06-'07 HCM CIVIC REAR BEARING RECALL DATE: 08/30/2007 RECALL STATUS: 17 CHARACTER VIN REQUIRED SUMMARY: 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. SAFETY RISK: THIS COULD CAUSE A WHEEL TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH. REMEDY: 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.

TAKATA RECALL: I JUST CHECKED THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL VIN LIST AND FOUND MY DAUGHTER'S CAR LISTED. I PROCEEDED TO DOUBLE CHECK AT HONDA WEBSITE TO CONFIRM. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. I CHECKED THEN CHECKED WITH HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY SAID THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER. THIS IS UNSAT. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER YET, BUT A VEHICLE IS RECALLED THE PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE NOW! THIS IS DANGEROUS RECALL.AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CAR COMPANIES ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET, AND HOPING DRIVERS WILL JUST FORGET ABOUT THE TIME BOMB IN THEIR CAR. LET'S HOLD THEIR FEET TO TO FIRE, NHTSA!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON 8-14-15 NOTICED RIGHT HEADLIGHT OUT; MAY HAVE BEEN OUT BEFORE THAT. SHOP REPLACED IT ON 8-14-15. IT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS. NOTICED IT ONLY LATER AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO SHOP 3/14/16; NO TICKET WAS DONE. HONDA GUY PUT HAND BEHIND LIGHT AND SAID "THE CONNECTOR WASN'T TURNED ALL THE WAY." LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS. AFTER TALKING TO MANAGER, DROPPED IT OFF 5/23/16, MANAGER ARRIVED LATER; HE AND OTHER STAFF DENIED LIGHT WAS OUT WHEN THEY TOOK THE CAR. THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON (THEY MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING.) THE LIGHT STAYED ON ONLY FOR ONE DAY. NEXT DAY LIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN. ONCE IT'S OUT, IT STAYS OUT UNTIL A WORKMAN DOES SOMETHING TO BRING IT BACK ON. WITHOUT THIS LIGHT, I CAN'T PASS STATE INSPECTION; MOREOVER, IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON RAINY DAYS OR AT NIGHT BECAUSE CARS DON'T SEE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. HONDA PUT THE LIGHT ON AND MADE ME PASS THE INSPECTION, BUT THEIR REMEDY IS ONLY TEMPORARY.WHY DOESN'T HONDA FIX THIS PROBLEM? WHY DO THEY TELL ME IT'S BEEN ON WHEN THEY GOT THE CAR, WHEN I KNOW IT'S BEEN OUT? I DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO THE SHOP IF ALL THEY DO IS LIE AND NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I NEED TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE 2007 RECALL ON CIVIC HYBRIDS FOR "DC-DC CONVERTER DIODE". THIS FAILURE WILL CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN OFF, AMONG OTHER MORE RISKY THINGS, AS THE PROBLEM DEVELOPS. I DID NOT ASK THEM ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC RECALL, BUT HONDA DENIED THAT THERE IS ANY RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION. PERHAPS THEY DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF REPLACING THE VOLTAGE CONVERTER FREE OF CHARGE. OTHER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT AND BEEN REPLACED REPEATEDLY SINCE AUG. 2015, AS MY RECEIPTS SHOW. BUT THIS HEADLIGHT IS NOT STAYING ON WHEN THEY PUT IT ON. ON 5-23-16 WHEN THEY LAST TURNED THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON, I DROVE IT ALL DAY AND IT WAS ON. BUT ON ANOTHER DAY, NOT SURE WHEN, IT WAS OUT AND HAS STAYED OUT.

STEERING, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I'VE HAD/HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. MY BACK TIRES HAVE WORN VERY UNEVENLY OVER THE YEARS AND BECAUSE OF THIS CAR EATING TIRES I'VE REPLACED TIRES ALMOST EVERY 2 YEARS. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING SOUND WHEN DRIVING WHEN YOU MAKE A TIGHT TURN. I'VE ALSO HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY A/C. I'VE HAD THE BLOWER FAN STOP WORKING AND SOME COMPONENT RELATING TO IT REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY A/C RECENTLY STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AFTER IT SPIT OUT FROZEN FREON THROUGH MY VENTS. MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME MY FREON WAS EMPTY AND COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP. NOW I NEED TO THROW MONEY ($1400) AT THIS REPAIR AS WELL!...UPDATED 07/19/16 *BF
