AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
1. I SEE AIRBAGS WARNING IN MY CAR BUT IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST. 2. DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR IS NOT WORKING. 3. IN INITIAL YEARS, HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES SO MANY TIMES (ALMOST EVERY YEAR) - NO RECEIPTS ARE SAVED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY WIPERS WON'T PARK IN THE "PARK LOCATION" (THEY STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD) AND WHEN I PRESS THE SWITCH UPWARDS FOR ONE SWIPE, THE WIPERS WILL CONTINUE FOR MULTIPLE CYCLES AND THEN FINALLY STOP IN A RANDOM SPOT ON THE WINDSHIELD. OCCASIONALLY, ALL THREE SPEEDS ON THE SWITCH(HI,MED,LOW), ARE ALL THE SAME (LOW SPEED). HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. HAS BECOME A NUISANCE IN VERY LIGHT RAIN BECAUSE IT WILL CONTINUE ONCE THE WINDSHIELD IS DRY AND CAN BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VISIBILITY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER.

POWER TRAIN
ERRACTIC POWER ON STARTING FROM A STOP. THE IMA SYSTEM SAYS IT HAS ASSIST POWER BUT THE CAR STARTS MOVING "VERY" SLOWLY AND THEN DRAINS THE IMA LIGHTS DOWN TO NOTHING. THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE GASOLINE ENGINE STARTS TO TO TAKE EFFECT AND GETTING UP TO SPEED, VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. AT OTHER TIMES THE IMS INDICATOR IS ERRATIC ON THE DASH BUT THE SYSTEM IS OKAY. THE LIGHTS WILL BE FULL UP AND SUDDENLY DROP TO NOTHING AND A FEW MINUTES LATER IT'S FULL AGAIN. I HAD JOE MORGAN HONDA CHECK IT OUT AND THEY EVEN ROAD TESTED IT WITH INSTRUMENTS ATTACHED AND IT CHECKED OUT OKAY (QUOTE FROM TYLER THE SERVICE REP. OF JOE MORGAN - 10-13-2015). ALL EXPERIENCES WERE ON FLAT GROUND DRY PAVEMENT AND GOOD CONDITIONS. THERE WERE CONDITIONS WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE SLOW ACCELERATION ON A GRADE (SMALL LIKE 5-15% MAYBE) AND THE RESULTS WERE EVEN WORSE.

WHEELS
THERE IS UNEVEN WEAR ON MY TIRES WHICH HAS CAUSED LARGE VIBRATIONS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND VERY DANGEROUS HANDLING IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. I JUST REPLACED MY TIRES, WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNER (I BOUGHT IT FROM HIM IN OCTOBER 2014) STATED WERE ALMOST NEW AT PURCHASE TIME. THE INNER EDGE OF EACH TIRE WAS WORN DOWN. I ALSO BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ALIGNMENT TODAY AND FOUND THAT THE REAR CAMBER IS NEGATIVE 2.5 DEGREES ON BOTH SIDES, BUT THAT CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THIS CAMBER ISSUE, PLUS REGULAR TIRE ROTATIONS, ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSED THE INNER EDGE WEAR ON EACH TIRE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS OF THE 06-08 ERA (SEE 2008 SERVICE BULLETIN, ATTACHED), BUT HONDA IS NO LONGER PERFORMING FIXES, AND THE FIX DID NOT NECESSARILY RECTIFY THE TIRE WEAR ISSUE. I HAVE BRAND NEW TIRES TODAY, BUT I EXPECT THAT THEY WILL ALSO WEAR OUT LONG BEFORE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRES... IT SEEMS THAT MY LAST TIRES LASTED ONLY ABOUT 25K BEFORE THE CAR FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS WILL NOT PARK IN CORRECT SPOT BLOCKING VISIBILITY, ALSO WILL NOT STOP AND CAN CONTINUE GOING FOR MINUTES ON END AFTER BEING SWITCHED OFF. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO MY DRIVING. FEEL HONDA SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES.

WHEELS
I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BUY NEW TIRES FOR THIS CAR, LIKE AT LEAST 2 TIRES A YEAR. THEY WEAR DOWN UNEVENLY AND IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ROTATE AND BUY NEW ONES. I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY AND TIRES ARE EXPENSIVE. I'M A STAY AT HOME MOM, SO I'M NOT EVEN OUT DRIVING DAILY OR GOING ON LONG ROAD TRIPS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WIPER MOTOR OR WIPER CONTROL MODULE IS KNOWN TO STOP WORKING CORRECTLY ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE LOWERS DURING WINTER THE WIPERS DO NOT SEAT CORRECTLY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN OFF AFTER BEING USED. THEY WILL SOMETIMES STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW UNTIL THEY ARE MOVED AGAIN. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WIPERS STOP IN THE CORRECT PARKED SPOT. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO CONTINUE TO ACTIVATE THE WIPERS UNTIL THEY ARE CLEAR OF THE FIELD OF VIEW. THE CAUSES EXTRA WEAR AND TEAR ON THE WIPER BLADES, CAUSING THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO HAVE TO PURCHASE MORE WIPER BLADES THAN NEEDED. LIVING IN WASHINGTON STATE, WHERE IT RAINS QUIET A BIT, THIS MAKES ME HAVE TO SPEND EXTRA MONEY ON WIPER BLADES. HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE WIPER MOTOR. THEIR SUGGESTION IS TO HAVE THE WIPER MOTOR REPLACED, WHICH I HAVE DONE ONCE ALREADY IN THE WINTER OF 2013. AS OF THIS WINTER, 2015-2016, THE WIPERS HAVE BEGAN TO NOT PARK CORRECTLY AFTER BEING USED AGAIN, AGAIN BLOCKING THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD TAKE A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH TO SEE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HONDA HAS ALREADY SAID THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL, BUT I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND OTHER SIMILAR MODELS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAPPENS ALL ALL TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE, WHETHER IT'S AT SLOW OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING AND MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS OR U TURNS, THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR(27000 MILES). THE DEALER VISUALLY INSPECTED THE FRONT END BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THE KNOCKING CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. THE CAR HAS 51000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE LEAKS GASOLINE FROM AREA ABOVE LEFT, REAR AXLE WHEN PARKED AFTER REFUELING. LEAKAGE ONLY OCCURS WHEN COMPLETELY FILLING THE TANK. THE NY TIMES NEWSPAPER REPORTED ON A SIMILAR LEAK IN 2011, <HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2011/12/19/GAS-LEAK-PROMPTS-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-FOR-80000-HONDA-CIVIC-HYBRIDS/>, HOWEVER DEALER STATES THERE IS NO WARRANTY EXTENSION.

ENGINE
CRACKED ENGINE CAUSED MY CAR COOLANT LEAKING. I TOOK IT TO THE 2 REPAIR CENTER. THEY ARE AGREEING IT IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HONDA DEALER IS REPAIRING THOSE CARS WITH FREE BUT WON'T DO MINE BECAUSE MINE IS SALVAGE TITLED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT 3 YEARS AGO. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR. THE PROBLEM IS ORIGINATED FROM THE FACTORY. THEY ARE AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE SIMPLY IT IS SALVAGE TITLED. HONDA COMPANY DOESN'T CARE IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE IT IS JUST SALVAGE TITLED?. I DON'T THINK THAT IS RIGHT HUMANITY. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR, TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS GOING UP TO HOT RED ZONE AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE ANY MORE SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP.
