I HAVE A NEW SET OF TIRES AND I AM SURPRISE WHEN YOU START MOVING IT MAKES NOISE THAT SEEMS COMING FROM THE WHEELS/TIRES AND GOES AWAY WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN. IT'S MORE AUDIBLE IN THE REAR, I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE SUSPENSION OR REAR CONTROL ARMS THAT WEAR OUT DURING THE YEARS. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ANNOYING ISSUE. MY WIPERS DO NOT STOP IN THE CORRECT OFF POSITION. INSTEAD, THEY'LL FREEZE IN VARIOUS POSITIONS ON WINDSHIELD. THEY ALSO DO NOT WIPE AT THE CHOSEN SPEED. THE FUNCTIONALITY IS COMPLETELY ABNORMAL! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. AS I DO MORE RESEARCH, I SEE MORE AND MORE POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'M TRULY SHOCKED THAT IT'S NOT A RECALL. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FROM THE DEALER IN '07. WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING 3 TO 4 SETS OF TIRES ON THIS CAR PER YEAR, FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE....IT RUNS IN TO MONEY AND IS VERY UNSAFE IN THE WINTER TIME. WHILE CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ALL FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. EVEN REPLACING THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, WE HAVE TRIED, AND SO HAVE OTHERS. THIS COMES FROM THE FACTORY. HONDA PRIDES THEMSELVES ON SAFETY...THIS IS NOT SAFE...THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY FIGHTING WITH ITSELF ON THE ROAD THEREFORE WEARING TIRES. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. 08 001 WAS A CODE I READ ON THE INTERNET, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS, BUT SUTHERLAND HONDA IN FREDERICTON, N.B. WILL NOT MAKE ANY COMPENSATIONS FOR THIS DEFECT. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT AS OF YET WILL NOT DO A RECALL. PLEASE HELP US BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE HIGHWAYS. *TR

THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE FAILING ON THIS MODEL OF CIVIC. ACCORDING TO MANY ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUMS, A LOT OF OTHER USERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CAUSING EXCESSIVE NOISE AND VIBRATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD. MY CAR HAS UNDER 90,000 MILES AND I SPENT OVER $400 TO REPLACE THEM. I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS BY THE MANUFACTURER ALREADY AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED CONSIDERING THE HIGH NUMBER OF OTHER REPORTS OF THIS FAILURE ON THESE MODELS. HERE ARE JUST SOME URL LINKS TO SOME OF THE ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARDS WHO ARE OWNERS AND TECHNICIANS SHOWING THE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM OF DEFECTIVE MOTOR MOUNTS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF 8TH GENERATION HONDA CIVICS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM: HTTP://HONDA-TECH.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2832175 HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/LOW-RUMBLING-SOUND-WHEN-IN-REVERSE-BAD-ENGINE-MOUNTS-598 HTTP://WWW.8THCIVIC.COM/FORUMS/MECHANICAL-PROBLEMS-TECHNICAL-CHAT/117405-BROKEN-MOTOR-MOUNT.HTML HTTP://WWW.8THCIVIC.COM/FORUMS/DEALERSHIP-EXPERIENCE/285443-450-REPLACE-1-MOTOR-MOUNT-DEALER-WTF.HTML HTTP://WWW.CLUBCIVIC.COM/BOARD/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=194374 HTTP://ANAPHORAL.BLOGSPOT.COM/2012/02/HONDA-CIVIC-ENGINE-VIBRATION-FIX.HTML HTTP://WWW.CIVICFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/197-MECHANICAL-PROBLEMS-VEHICLE-ISSUES-FIX-FORUM/351877-MOTOR-MOUNT-VIBRATION.HTML HTTP://WWW.8THCIVIC.COM/FORUMS/MECHANICAL-PROBLEMS-TECHNICAL-CHAT/279863-DEFECTIVE-MOTOR-MOUNTS-HELP.HTML HTTP://HONDA-TECH.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2897153 HTTP://HONDA-TECH.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2989384. *TR

I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE REASON FOR MY IRREGULAR WEAR ON MY TIRES HAS NOT BEEN ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS BUT A PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS HAD WITH NOT HAVING THE RIGHT REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS. I HAVE WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE SETS OF TIRES AND ALIGNMENTS BEFORE FINDING THIS OUT. I CONTACTED HONDA AFTER THIS FIND AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP IN THE COST TO REPAIR THIS. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE VISOR CRACKED OPEN AND WOULD NOT CLOSE OR STAY UP, AND FALLS INTO THE VISION OF DRIVER/PASSENGER, CAUSING VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED ON 09/23/2008 AT 17534 MILES. THE SECOND TIME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED ON 07/02/2009 ON 24484 MILES. THE THIRD TIME HAPPENED AGAIN TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND WAS NOT REPLACED, AROUND 35,000 MILES. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN TO THE DRIVERS SIDE, AT 53,000 MILES, AGAIN HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. *TR

SEAT BELTS
DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT FRAYED. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT SEATBELT BEING CAUGHT IN THE DOOR CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE SEATBELT. THE SEATBELT DOES NOT RETRACT FULLY, SO THIS MAY BE CAUSING THE BELT TO BE CLOSED IN THE DOOR. THE SEATBELT MATERIAL SHOULD BE STRONG AND DURABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE DAMAGED BY A DOOR. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. AN ORDER FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WAS NOT COMPLETED BY THE DEALERSHIP, SO OF COURSE, PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP, WITH A FAULTY SAFETY COMPONENT OF THE CAR (SEATBELT) AND NO GUARANTEE OF DRIVER SAFETY AND PROPER FUNCTION OF THE SEATBELT IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. COST IS NOT AN ISSUE, SINCE THE SAFETY OF FAMILY COMES FIRST AND OWNER IM WILLING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARGES SINCE THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. SCHEDULED WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *TR

WHEELS, SUSPENSION
THE REAR WHEELS HAD EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH TIRES, BECAUSE OF THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM BEING TOO SHORT, CAUSING THE CAMBER TO BE OUT. THIS IN TURN, CAUSED MISALIGNMENT AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. I HAD NO WARNING OF HOW FAST MY TIRES WERE WEARING OUT, AND THEY ALMOST WORE TO THE STEEL BELT, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I REGULARLY SERVICE MY HONDA CIVIC AT THE HONDA DEALER FOR EACH OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION, BUT WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY PROBLEMS AT THE LAST SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED TO BE FIXED. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON SEPT 15, '12, I WAS TAKING MY SON AND HIS FRIEND OVER TO HIS COACH'S HOUSE FOR A FOOTBALL PARTY. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE UP THE COACH'S DRIVEWAY BUT AT APPROXIMATELY THE HALFWAY POINT, MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID STOPPED MOVING FORWARD ALTHOUGH THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. I HAD THE TWO NINE YEAR OLD KIDS EXIT THE VEHICLE BUT IT STILL DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. I SLOWLY BACKED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE UP THE DRIVEWAY AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH A RUNNING START. AGAIN, MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID DID NOT MAKE IT UP THE DRIVEWAY. I ESTIMATE THE DRIVEWAY TO BE AT A 30% ANGLE, NOT STEEP BUT DEFINITELY NOT FLAT. AGAIN I SLOWLY BACKED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER HAVING THE CARS BEHIND ME MOVE OUT OF MY WAY. I PARKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY AND WALKED UP THE HILL, NOT SOMETHING YOU EXPECT TO DO WHEN YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR A VEHICLE. ON OCTOBER 3, 2012, I HAD A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALERSHIP EXAMINE THE CAR AS I SUSPECTED THE IMA BATTERY WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER STATED I DID NEED A NEW 12 VOLT BATTERY AND I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT WHILE THE IMA BATTERY IS NOT GIVING OUT FULL POWER IT IS AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE ANY IMA BATTERY UNLESS IT COMPLETELY FAILS AND THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CIVIC HYBRIDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THE ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF POWER BECOMES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HIGHWAYS AND HILLS. I HAVE THREE YOUNG KIDS AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THEM IN THE CAR. I HAVE ALL SERVICE DOCUMENTATION AND AM WILLING TO LET INVESTIGATORS EXAMINE AND DRIVE MY VEHICLE. ALSO, I CAN PROVIDE THE ADDRESS OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT UP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS THIS LOSS OF POWER CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I HAVE PURCHASED, IN THE LAST 5 YEARS, 5 DIFFERENT SETS OF TIRES BECAUSE OF CUPPING' OF MY REAR TIRES DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE REAR SUSPENSION. I WAS TOLD ON 2 OCCASIONS BY 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS THAT THE PROBLEM IN MY REAR SUSPENSION HAD BEEN SOLVED. THE LAST SERVICE WAS 10 MONTHS AGO; I PURCHASED MY FIFTH SET OF TIRES AND NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. *TR
