VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WENT TO STOW MY DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR, IT SPLIT IN HALF AND REMAINED ABOUT 1" FROM STOWING FLAT. IT THEN KEPT DEPLOY AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 3 INCHES RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION. I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO SEE ABOUT BUYING A NEW ONE AND NOTICED A RECALL WAS IN PLACE FOR THIS ITEM. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALER AND HE CONFIRMED THERE WAS A RECALL THAT APPLIED TO SOME 2007 HONDA CIVICS BUT THAT MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL -- DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT FAILED IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE RECALL DESCRIBED. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
TIRES HAVE WORN UNEVENLY DUE TO REAR BALANCE ARM/ STRUT ASSEMBLY ISSUE WHICH HAVE CAUSED THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO CANTER AND BE TOED IN, WHICH IN TURN HAS ALSO DAMAGED THE SUSPENSION/SPRINGS. CAR NOW LEANS TO DRIVER SIDE IN THE REAR. CAR HAS HAD 4 SETS OF TIRES AND HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. DUE TO UNEVEN TIRE WEAR THE CAR IS EXTREMELY LOUD (EAR DAMAGING LOUD) AND VIBRATES (SHIMMIES) AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH. WE WERE TOLD BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT ONLY AN AFTER MARKET ADJUSTABLE BALANCE ARM WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACCOUNTABILITY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
AFTER ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I NOTICED THE PAINT STARTED TO APPEAR RATHER DUSKY. A SHORT TIME LATER, MY PAINT STARTED TO PEEL! MY CAR WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AT TIME OF PURCHASE- SO PEELING PAINT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT OWNERS FAULT. NO SOONER DID MY ROOF BEGIN TO PEEL HEAVILY, THE HOOD AND SIDE PANELS AND NOW TRUNK ARE STARTING TO PEEL EXCESSIVELY. IT IS SO EMBARRASSING, AND SO GROSS. *TR

SUSPENSION
I EXPERIENCED ASYMMETRICAL CUPPING AND RAPID WEAR ON MY TIRES DUE TO A DEFECTIVE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR HONDA (THEY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2008 REGARDING THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2013). SINCE THE DEADLINE TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THE CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS PASSED HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

SERVICE BRAKES
I KEEP CHANGING BRAKES AND ROTORS. I HAVE DONE THIS 2-3 TIMES SO FAR. THE STEERING KEEPS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES. IF YOU DON'T CHANGE THE ROTORS, THIS PROBLEM WILL GET WORSE, SO I AM FORCED TO KEEP CHANGING THE ROTORS EVERY OTHER YEAR. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE HAD MANY HONDA CARS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR CONDITION. I BELIEVE THERE'S A FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OR THE ROTORS. NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG, BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S A SAFETY ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVIC 2007ROTORS AND BRAKE SYSTEM THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *JS

SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT APPROX 20-25 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BUMP AS IF A ROCK HAD HIT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR; SHORTLY THE STEERING WAS OFF KILTER -- TO GO STRAIGHT HAD TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED 30 DEGREES RIGHT; LOUD RUBBING SOUND; PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THEN COULD NOT BACK UP -- FOUND THAT RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS BENT IN, SO THAT TOP OF TIRE ABUTTED THE WHEEL WELL. CAR TOWED TO DEALER -- FOUND STRUT BOLTS ON RIGHT FRONT TIRE WERE LOOSE. CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED ONE WEEK PRIOR: REPLACED FAILED STARTER AND PERFORMED OIL CHANGE AND B SERVICE WITH INSPECTION OF BRAKES AND TIRE ROTATION. *JS

TIRES, WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS NOW. IN THAT TIME I HAVE PUT ONLY 20000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES TWICE ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRES. THE CAMBER OF THE TIRES IS AFFECTED BY THE REAR CONTROL ARMS. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE REAR SUSPENSION TO WEAR, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN BREAKING MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AFFECTING MY STEERING. THIS IS CAUSED BY THE UNEVEN INNER TIRE WEAR ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ON THIS VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES MIGHT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ALSO BECOME A QUITE EXPENSIVE PROBLEM FOR ME TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON THIS VEHICLE. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THANK YOU! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES FOR THE SECOND TIME ON THIS CAR. THE CAR IS EXPIRING UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. THIS DOES EFFECT BRAKING OF THE CAR AS WELL. HONDA HAS ADMITTED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM IS TO SHORT EFFECTING SUSPENSION AND TIRE WEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VISIBLE PART OF MY TIRE LOOKED FINE, PLENTY OF TREAD AND ABOUT 38000 ON A 90000 MILE TIRE. THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS SO WORN IT ACTUALLY HAD A HOLE WORN IN IT. THIS WEAR ISSUE COULD CAUSE A TIRE TO FAIL WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. PLEASE HELP THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES GET A RECALL FROM HONDA BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE GETTING MY CAR SERVICED FOR NEW TIRES, I MENTIONED TO THE MECHANIC ABOUT THE ROUGH VIBRATION THE CAR HAS. PER MECHANIC, MOTOR MOUNT WAS WORN, MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT NEARLY EVERY 2007 HONDA CIVIC THEY SERVICE HAS MOTOR MOUNT ISSUES. REQUESTED MECHANIC TO STATE THAT ON BILL. CALLED HONDA, THEY WERE LITTLE TO NO ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN FOR ME TO CONTACT LOCAL DEALER. IF THIS IS A COMMONLY OCCURRING PROBLEM, SHOULDN'T HONDA ADDRESS IT? I REQUIRE A CAR TO GO TO AND FROM WORK DAILY, THE EXPLANATION BY HONDA WILL NOT SUFFICE. *TR
