STEERING
JUST AS MANY OTHER COMPLAINS, DAUGHTER GOT INTO CAR AFTER CLASSES AND COULDN'T STEER CAR IN PARKING LOT. NOTICED CHECK POWER STEERING LIGHT ON. DAD CAME TO TAKE HER HOME SINCE NOT DRIVABLE. RESEARCHED ISSUE AND NOTICED TROUBLES WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS. WENT BACK TO CAR NEXT AM PREPARED TO HAVE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP AND PROBLEM WAS GONE. DROVE CAR HOME SINCE DIDN'T WANT DAUGHTER TO DRIVE IT. TOOK TO LOCAL HI DA DEALER SERVICE AND SAID NO ISSUES WITH STEERING BUT NEEDED REPLACEMENT AIRBACN FOR $1200! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. WE ALSO HAVE A HONDA MINIVAN (SECOND ONE) THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES RECENTLY.

POWER TRAIN
THE IGNITION AND LOCK COMPONENTS HAVE WORN OUT.THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND THE IGNITION IS HAVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOT STANDARD HONDA WORKMANSHIP, AND THE DEALER SUGGESTS HAVING THE ENTIRE CAR REKEYED WHICH COSTS ABOUT THE SAME AS THE CAR IS WORTH. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH A FAULTY COMPONENT TO BEGIN WITH.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN HEARD A LOUD BOOM SOUND. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE ANYWHERE AROUND ME. WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. I HAVE CLEANED UP GLASS. NOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. NOT SURE WHY IT EXPLODED, BUT I AM VULNERABLE TO CAR THEFT NOW. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I DON'T FEEL MY CAR IS SECURE WITHOUT THE GLASS ON MY ROOF. SHOULD BE A WAY TO GET MANUFACTURERS TO HELP. ALSO, I AM LUCKY TO HAVE HAD THE WINDOW FULLY OPEN.

AIR BAGS
MY HONDA CIVIC HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL, WHICH I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE FIX, MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY RESET MY LIGHT. IT COME BACK ON APPROXIMATELY EVERY MONTH. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS SUSPICIOUS THAT I NEVER HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEM UNTIL THE HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE AIR BAG. THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND INSIST IT IS NOT THERE RESPONSIBILITY. COINCIDENCE I DON'T THINK SO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUED WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE THIS PROCEDURE

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE. THEY STOPPED IT AT 10 YES AND MINE HAD FAILED AT 11 YRS. IT WAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. YET WILL DO NOTHING AFTER 10 YRS. THIS IS WRONG!..IT IS THE ENGINE THE MAIN COMPONENT THAT RUNS THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE NO LIMIT PUT ON THE LENGTH OF THIS RECALL WHEN THEY KNOW THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR SUCH A DEFECT. YOU CAN'T RUN A CAR WITHOUT AN ENGINE..PEOPLE KEEP THERE CARS LONGER THESE DAYS . I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD COVER THIS INDEFINITELY! .I GOT NO HELP AT ALL FROM THE DEALER AND HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE AND RADIATOR BECAUSE IT ALSO RUINED THAT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
AC EXPANSION VALVE FAILED PREMATURELY (BEFORE 50,000 MI) BUT OUTSIDE OF FACTORY WARRANTY. CAUSES AC TO BE INOPERATIVE AND WINDOWS TO FOG UP AND IMPAIR VISIBILITY, ESPECIALLY IN VERY HUMID WEATHER. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES IN TX AND THE SOUTH CAN EASILY REACH 100+ BEFORE ANY EFFECTS OF THE SUN OR HUMIDITY.

AC IS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR SYSTEM IS LEAKING AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR IS AT AROUND 38000 MILES AND IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN 3 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND ABSOLUTELY UNBEARABLE DURING THE SUMMER.

POWER TRAIN
MY CIVIC HAS 52000 MILES ON IT & HAS ALWAYS RAN PERFECTLY FINE & HAS BEEN MAINTAINANCED PROPERLY SINCE I GOT IT. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY & IT STARTED TO BOG DOWN LIKE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE THEN THE CHECK TRANSMISSION SENSOR CAME ONLY DASH SCREEN & ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN PULLED OVER & PUT THE CAR IN PARK & THE DRIVE "D" WAS BLINKING & CHECK EMISSION SYSTEM ALSO POPPED UP ON DASH SCREEN. I THEN PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IN HOPES TO TURN IT AROUND & GET IT BACK TO HOUSE IT ACCELERATED BUT STILL BOGGED WITH PARKING"P" LIT UP. I GOT IT HOME TURNED IT OFF & CALLED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS. I DROVE IT WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THEN CHECK TRANSMISSION & EMISSION SENSOR ON DASH SCREEN TO SHOP WHEN I GOT THERE IT WAS ROUGH TO PUT IN PARK & COULD HEAR IT SWITCH BETWEEN GEARS WHEN MOVING STICK TO PUT IN PARK WHICH COULD NEVER HEAR BEFORE. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY'RE SAYING IT NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO INTERNAL DAMAGE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS YEAR, MAKE & MODEL HAS RECALLS FOR THE EXACT ISSUES GOING ON WITH MY CAR. AS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TRAMISSION FAILURE AT 50000 MILES IN A CAR THAT I MAINTAINANCED PROPERLY & DROVE PRETTY MUCH ONLY AROUND MY SMALL TOWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD IT ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS. MY ISSUES STARTED WITH MY BATTERY FAILING TWICE WITHIN A YEAR OF EACH OTHER. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES WITH NEW ONES ONLY A YEAR AFTER BUYING IT BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE SO WORN DOWN AS IF THEY WERE NOT NEW TO BEGIN WITH. THEN I HAD A SYSTEM FAILURE THAT REQUIRED MY CAR TO BE TAKEN IN TO SERVICE FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEN MORE RECENTLY I HAD A TRANSMISSION PIECE FAILURE THAT EMPTIED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID TO THE POINT THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MY CAR SLOWLY STOPPED MOVING WHICH EVENTUALLY HAD ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A COUPLE HOURS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TOWED. HONESTLY ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE. I WAS BY MYSELF ON THE SIDE OF A WOODED AREA WHILE IT WAS GETTING DARK. WHEN I HAD MY CAR NOT START IT WAS IN A STATIONARY POTION. WHEN MY CAR HAD A WEIRD SYSTEM MOLT DOWN I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP I WAS ALSO DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING I WAS ON A MAIN STREET AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
