SEAT BELTS
WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE SEAT BELT DEPLOYED AND LOCKED UP ON ME AND I WASN'T IN A CRASH. I HAD ALREADY HAD IT REPLACED (PAID ABOUT $700) AND IT LOCKED UP (DEPLOYED) AGAIN WITHOUT A CRASH. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER IT. ONE HONDA DEALER HAD ME DRIVE TO ANOTHER (WITHOUT A WORKING SEAT BELT) AND NEITHER DEALER WILL COVER IT AND HONDA CORPORATE SAID IT WILL NOT BE COVERED.

SUSPENSION
THIS IS RELATED TO SUSPENSION...THREE ISSUE I HAVE OBSERVED 1. THE TIRES ON MY CIVIC 2007 HAVE UNEVEN WEAR...I CHANGED MY TIRES ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND COULD SEE THE UNEVEN WEAR ON THE OLD TIRED..THAT TIME I IGNORED IT ASSUMING IT TO BE AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE...HOWEVER THE NEW TIRES ARE ALSO WEARING OUT UNEVENLY AND THAT AFTER AFTER PROPER ALIGNMENT. THE LAST TIME I GOT TIRES ROTATED THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THERE IS LIKELY SOME FAULTY SUSPENSION. NOW I FIRMLY BELIEVE IT. 2. I HEAR A POP/CLUNCKING SOUND WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. 3. I HEAR A CLICK/POP SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS WHEN TURNING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WIPER BLADES ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WILL NOT STOP RUNNING EVEN AFTER TURNING THE SWITCH TO OFF. IF THEY DO DECIDE TO STOP RUNNING, THEY STOP AT VARIOUS POINTS AND OFTEN STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VIEW MAKING IT HARD TO SEE AROUND THEM. THE INTERMITTENT SETTING ALSO WILL CHANGE FROM WORKING TO NOT WORKING (CONSTANTLY RUNNING) FOLLOWING THE SAME STOPPING ISSUES. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.8THCIVIC.COM/FORUMS/MECHANICAL-PROBLEMS-TECHNICAL-CHAT/130742-INTERMITTENT-WIPER-PROBLEM.HTML

NO INCIDENTS/ACCIDENTS TO DATE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING/EXPLODING. I WANT TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, AT NO COST TO ME, AT AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE MOTOR OF THE WIPER BLADES WOULD ONLY WORK RANDOMLY. EVEN WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF THEY WOULD NOT STOP. WHEN THEY DID STOP THEY WOULD NOT BE IN THE RIGHT SPOTS. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD.

SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELT FORCEFULLY LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. VERY SCARY. I COULD NOT LOOSEN IT. I PULLED OVER AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES MY BROTHER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS ABLE TO HELP ME UNBUCKLE IT. THERE WAS NO CRASH. IT JUST LOCKED UP WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DIDN'T HIT A POTHOLE OR A CURB. SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA MIGHT HAVE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF BUT THEY WON'T COVER THE COSTS OF REPAIR SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

WHEELS, SUSPENSION
WENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER BECAUSE OF HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY REAR CONTROL UPPER ARM BECAUSE MY TIRES WERE CUPPING BADLY. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TIRES YEARLY BECAUSE OF UNEVEN WEAR. I CALLED CORPORATE HONDA, SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE WITH PARTS AND LABOR DESPITE 2013 SETTLEMENT REGARDING THIS MATTER. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING TIRE SUSPENSION AND HONDA IS TURNING A BLIND EYE.. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
HAD A FLAT TIRE THAT WOULD NOT HOLD AIR, SO ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THE VEHICLE (BY ME) AT NALLEY HONDA OF UNION CITY, GA. IT WAS THE WRONG SIZE SPARE TIRE. THE LUG PATTERN WOULD NOT FIT. IT WAS A 16" SPARE INSTEAD OF THE 15" THAT MY CAR CALLS FOR. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT SWAP IT OUT FOR THE RIGHT SIZE SPARE TIRE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE FIRST TIME OUT OF MY TRUNK (2007 CAR, AND 2007 DATE CODED SPARE). LUCKILY, THE FLAT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY INSTEAD OF MY DAUGHTER BEING STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS IN THE FIFTH HOUR OF A SIX HOUR LONG ROAD TRIP (WARM DAY, A/C ON, IPHONE PLUGGED INTO CONSOLE FOR AN AUDIO BOOK), WHEN I HIT STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SHORTLY AFTER THE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BEGAN, MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID STOPPED BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME WOULD MOVE, MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND NORMALLY, BUT ONLY VERY, VERY SLOWLY GATHER SPEED -- VERY TRICKY AND DANGEROUS WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS STOP AND GO. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS, TWICE IN THE SAME SITUATION (LONG CAR DRIVE, WARM/HOT DAY, VERY BAD STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL USE, A/C ON AND DVD'S OR SOMETHING PLUGGED IN.) WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY, CROSSING A BRIDGE -- AS I WAS IN BOTH CASES (GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE ON MEMORIAL DAY AND BAY BRIDGE YESTERDAY, START OF SPRING BREAK) -- IT IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE YOUR CAR RESPOND OR BE ABLE TO MOVE / ACCELERATE. YESTERDAY, TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP, I TOOK A CHANCE AND TURNED THE ENGINE ON AND OFF AGAIN, IN THE MIDDLE OF 7 LANES OF STOPPED BRIDGE TRAFFIC, AND THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING FAIRLY NORMALLY, WELL ENOUGH TO GET OVER THE BRIDGE. SECOND TIME, A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY CAR SIMPLY WOULDN'T BUDGE ON THE STEEP HILL I DRIVE UP EVERY DAY AFTER A CAR CAME TO A FULL STOP IN FRONT OF US, MY HONDA COULD BARELY GET UP THE HILL, THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE NORMALLY ON THE FLAT BLOCK TO MY HOUSE, WHEN I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO HONDA NEXT DAY, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. AFTER THE FIRST MEMORIAL DAY BRIDGE INCIDENT THEY SAID MY CAR NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH THEY SAID THEY PROVIDED, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE NOW. I ONLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHEN I TALK TO THE HONDA DEALER/MECHANIC THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A SIMILAR CASE TO THIS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DOORS DO NOT STAY OPEN LIKE EVERY CAR USUALLY DOES WHEN THEY ARE OPENED. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM WHEN LOADING AND UNLOADING CAR SEATS, PEOPLE, GROCERIES, ETC. WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPENED, THEY AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE BACK UP. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE THE DOOR, (WHEN IT CLOSES BY IT'S SELF,) HITS A LOT PEOPLE IN THE BACK THAT EXPECTING THE DOOR TO STAY OPEN WHEN THEY ENTER THE CAR. THERE IS ALSO RISK OF IT SLAMMING A PERSONS FINGER. I GET MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MY PASSENGERS. *TR

WHEELS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAREFULLY BECAUSE I TAKE THIS ROAD ALMOST EVERYDAY. THIS ROAD HAS BEEN DAMAGED FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR HITS A HUGE POT HOLE, IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN SEEN DUE TO HOW DARK THIS ROAD IS AT NIGHT. BOTH WHEELS ON THE LEFT SIDE POPPED AND MY FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACK IN THE MIDDLE DUE TO THE HARD IMPACT. *TR

WHEELS, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. HONDA WON'T REPLACE THE BAD CONTROL ARMS BECAUSE I PUT ON SNOW TIRES AND THEY SAID THAT VOIDS ANY WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE, I'VE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES NOW. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY ANYTIME I GO OVER 50 MPH. BRAKES HAVE ISSUES. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

WHEELS, SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED THIS 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE NEW IN MAY OF 2007. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND SUBSEQUENT RECALL FOR THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS THAT CAUSED SEVERE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATION. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE FIX DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND MAKING IT RIGHT. THE REPLACEMENT ARMS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LATITUDE IN THE ADJUSTMENT IN CAMBER. THERE ARE AFTER MARKET FIXES FOR THIS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TIRE WEAR AND SUBSEQUENT HANDLING WHILE DRIVING ARE A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. THIS MAY ALSO BE CAUSE FOR A NEW CLASS ACTION SUIT, AS THE ORIGINAL "FIX" WAS NOT A FIX. *TR
