VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY SON STARTED TO TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT, ACCELERATING NORMALLY. CAR RESPONDED BY ACCELERATING MASSIVELY --THE RPMS SHOT UP TO THE MAX (7) AND HE HEARD IT STUTTER AGAINST THE TOP OF THE DIAL. HE TRIED TO COMPLETE THE TURN, BUT SKIDDED INTO A POLE, WHICH CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. CAR CONTINUED TO RACE FULL SPEED AS IT BOUNCED OVER A PARKING CURB BACK INTO THE LOT. FINALLY THE CAR STOPPED WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. *TR

EARLY 2014 WE APPROACHED HONDA OF COLUMBIA, THE PURCHASE POINT OF THIS CAR, ABOUT THE FACTORY PAINT FLAKING AND COMING OFF. HONDA SAYS WE HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR REPAINTED AND SHOW THEM THE RECEIPT BEFORE THEY WILL HELP OFFER FINANCIAL HELP. THAT COSTS US $4000+ OUT OF OUR POCKET AND THEN THEY MAY SUBSIDIZE THE COST. THIS CAR MISSES THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE PAINTING BY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HER CAR HAS BEEN WELL KEPT BUT NOT GARAGED. INDEPENDENT PAINT SHOPS CONFIRM THAT IT IS A FAULT W/ THE ORIGINAL PAINTING PROCESS. NEARLY THE WHOLE TOP/FLAT SURFACES OF THE CAR ARE IN QUESTION: SPOILER, ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD, FENDERS AND ALL OTHER HORIZONTAL SURFACES ARE AFFECTED. THE VERTICAL PORTIONS ARE IN ACCEPTABLE SHAPE. THE LOCAL DEALER HONDA OF COLUMBIA, S.C. SAYS THIS CAR DOESN'T FALL INTO THE FACTORY RECALL CRITERIA BECAUSE IT IS AN '07 AND THEY ONLY QUALIFIED UP TO '06. ONE OF THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPS ASSURED US THEY IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT EVEN THE COLOR WAS ONE LISTED ALONG W/ THE OTHER CAR COLORS. NOT HONDA OF COLUMBIA DENIES THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE REPAINTED BEFORE THEY WILL HELP PAY, BUT NOW ONLY OFFER $1000 TO SUBSIDIZE THE COST AND STILL WONT TELL ME HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL HONDA OF AMERICA SERVICE FOLKS AND TALK TO THEM THEY HAVE YET TO ANSWER A CALL. THERE IS NO ANSWER OF ANY KIND SO I AM UNABLE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. WHAT SHOULD I DO... *TR

WHEELS
ELDERLY MOTHER DRIVES THIS CAR. SHE DRIVES SLOW AND KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT CARS. I BORROWED HER CAR TO FIND IT VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY FROM THE REAR WITH LOUD TIRE NOISE FROM THE REAR AS WELL. FOUND SCALLOPED REAR TIRES IN POOR, DANGEROUS CONDITION. REPLACED TIRES THINKING THEY WERE FAULTY TIRES. PROBLEM RECURRED ONLY SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. REPLACED TIRES AGAIN, DIFFERENT BRAND AND HAD THE REAR SUSPENSION WORKED ON PER HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN. PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND WE MUST KEEP REPLACING THE TIRES. I'M TIRED OF SEEING MY MOM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND CONTINUOUSLY SPENDING MONEY ON PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I'M SCARED THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT. IF THE TIRES BLOW OUT, MY MOTHER MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. YES, THIS "WILL" CAUSE ME TO FILE A LAWSUIT ON HONDA BECAUSE THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS TELL ME SO. WE COULD SELL THE CAR BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT BE IN DANGER OF BLOW OUTS. HONDA SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT...AT THEIR COST.... BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CIVIC 2007 ON A RAMP GOING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER, WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND STARTED SMOKING. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL IT STOPPED AND STARTED SMOKING. TURNS OUT THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED CREATING OVERHEATING. THE OVERHEATING CAUSED OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE TO MELT, THE SPARK PLUGS, OIL DIPSTICK, HEAD IS WARPED. *JS

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THEN WHEN THEY FINALLY DID SHUT OFF THEY WERE PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. THEY ALSO HAVE TURNED ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ALL WEEK AND IT'S BEEN RAINING. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR WHICH COST $400. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS AND IT SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL AS IT'S UNSAFE. *TR

THE VIN NUMBER ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2007 CIVIC COUPE DOES NOT BRING UP A RECALL TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. WHY? DOES THIS MEAN THAT THERE IS NO DANGER OF METAL SHARDS EXPLODING OUT OF THE AIRBAG? I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA'S CONSUMER INFORMATION DEPT. THEY CHECKED MY VIN AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NO AIRBAG RECALL. I ASKED WHY THERE WAS NO RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA DOES NOT ALWAYS PUT THE SAME BRAND OF AIRBAG IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. IS THIS TRUE? *TR

ENGINE
AFTER ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, BY MY MECHANIC, AN OIL LEAK WAS NOTED. AFTER CLOSE INSPECTION ON A LIFT IT TURNED OUT TO BE SMALL FISSURES IN OIL PAN METAL(ALUMINUM). THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED, AND NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE METAL IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS MATTER AS AN OIL LEAK CAN HAVE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. I SPOKE TO HONDA(AMERICA) THIS AFTERNOON AND REPORTED IT. *TR

I TOOK MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT MY SRS LIGHT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAUSE WAS DTC 32-10, INTERMITTENT CONNECTION IN FLOOR HARNESS. AND THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SEEN OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE IS DESIGN FLAW IN THE SRS SYSTEM. I HAVE ALSO FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: SB-10-001 THIS SEEMS LIKE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT SHE GOT HER CIVIC PAINTED BECAUSE OF A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY CAR AT THE HONDA DEALER IN KILLEEN TEXAS, BUT I CALLED MY LOCAL GREG MAY HONDA IN WACO TX SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I TOLD THEM I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE STATING THERE WAS A RECALL, AND SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT IT. I WAS HAVING THE EXACT COLOR ISSUES WITH PEALING, CLOUDY COLOR ON MY ROOF, AND A FEW OTHER PANELS ON MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT ITS PAST DUE NOW, AND I BASICALLY WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS. I AM HAVING MY CAR ROOF PAINTED THIS WEEKEND, AND WILL HAVE TO DO THE REST AS I CAN AFFORD IT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL THAT HONDA SAID WAS HAPPENING IF YOU NEVER SENT A NOTIFICATION TO ME.??? I HAVEN'T BEEN ONLINE HERE SINCE I PAID MY CAR OFF, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WOULD HAVE RECALLS ETC ON HERE. I WILL KEEP WATCH NOW THAT I KNOW. I LOVE MY HONDAS THIS IS MY SECOND CIVIC I ALSO HAD AN ACCORD. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING FOR ME? I HAVE PHOTO'S OF MY CAR WITH THE DAMAGE IF YOU NEED PROOF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION REGARDING THE ABOVE MATTER. *TR
