SUSPENSION:REAR, TIRES
REAR TIRE NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM 25,000 MILES ON. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWS FLAT SPOTS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND HONDA SERVICE RELATED THAT THERE WAS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM WHICH THEY REPLACED FOR FREE. HOWEVER THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE OR EVEN PRORATE TIRE WEAR STATING THAT 30K MILES WARRANTED NO REPLACEMENT. FRONT TIRES SHOW NO WEAR AT ALL. THE TIRES HAVE WORN TO A UNSAFE LEVEL AND HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SERVICE RELATED PROBLEM FOR MONTHS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA ON RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER ABOUT 16 MONTHS OF OWNING THE CAR, BEGINNING IN OCTOBER 2007, THE IMA (INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST) ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY. AN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO IMA PROBLEMS, AND SOME COMPONENTS OF THE IMA COMPUTER AND CONTROL SYSTEM WERE REPLACED (I AM NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE OLD PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE). SINCE THAT TIME, THE IMA BATTERY THAT POWERS THE ASSIST MOTOR HAS BEEN UNPREDICTABLE. IT SOMETIMES WOULD FULLY DISCHARGE, AND THE CAR WOULD RUN ONLY ON THE UNDERPOWERED 1.3 L GAS ENGINE. THE CAR IS VERY SLUGGISH, CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED IN CITY OR INTERSTATE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE IN WARMER WEATHER, 85 DEGREES OR HIGHER. SINCE THE PROBLEM FIRST WAS OBSERVED IN EARLY OCTOBER 2007, SOME PARTS AND COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. ON OCTOBER 29, 2007 THEY REPLACED THE MCM RELAY AND THE BATTERY CONTROL UNIT. AROUND JULY 9, 2008 THE ORIGINAL IMA BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW EXPERIMENTAL IMA BATTERY. ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2008 THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED AT THE SUGGESTION OF ANOTHER CIVIC HYBRID OWNER WHO THOUGHT THAT REPLACING THE SENSOR ON HIS CIVIC HAD HELPED SOME OF THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. HOWEVER THE SERVICE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO ME THAT AMERICAN HONDA CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT MY CAR HAS. HE TELLS ME THAT THE PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO A CHANGE IN PROGRAMMING OF THE SOFTWARE THAT CONTROLS THE IMA, A PROBLEM THAT STARTED WITH THE SOFTWARE UPDATES INSTALLED ON MY CAR IN OCTOBER, 2007. HE SAYS THAT HONDA IS WORKING ON A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS, BUT NO ONE HAS AN IDEA OF WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE ONLY SUGGESTION THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME WAS "WHEN YOU RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING, DIRECT THE VENTS UPWARDS TOWARD THE CEILING TO SEND THE COLD AIR BACK TOWARD THE IMA BATTERY". I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED AND THE IMA WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2003 HONDA HYBRID WITH 146K ON IT...THE CAR STARTED MAKING SLIPPING AND GRINDING NOISES WHEN COMING OUT OF A FULL STOP. I NOTICED THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AT VARIOUS INTERVALS AND ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM HONDA DEALERSHIPS-REPLACING TRANSMISSION FLUIDS, BRANDISHING, ETC. ONLY FOR THE PROBLEM TO RETURN. AT THIS POINT I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT COSTS ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO FIX-$1300 CATALYTIC CONVERTER, $4000 IMA BATTERY PACK RESET/PURCHASE, $750 TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THIS IS REALLY A BIG PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY FOOLED INTO BUYING THE CAR WITH NO SUPPORT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND MANY HYBRID OWNERS HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE AN EXPENSIVE AND FRUSTRATING REPAIR-NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER COSTS. PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE DRIVING LEMONS AROUND. MY REPAIRS THAT I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT PASS EMISSIONS WILL COST ME MORE THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. THE ISSUE OF THE SLIPPING AND GRINDING WHEN COMING FROM A FULL STOP NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND RECALLED TO BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. THIS PARTICULAR SLIPPING STARTED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT AT THAT TIME AND IT SEEMED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM ONLY TO HAVE IT RETURN ABOUT 10K LATER. THIS IS AN ONGOING CYCLE. I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING GAUGED BY THE DEALERSHIPS AND THE MANUFACTURER WHO IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE-AMONG MANY OTHER ONES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MY TRANSMISSION FAILED, COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL *AFTER* THE CAR COMPLETELY FAILED TO CONTINUE ITS FORWARD MOTION. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN AN AREA WHERE I COULD JUST HOP OUT OF THE CAR AND PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM *EXTREMELY* LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SINCE I WAS LITERALLY *MINUTES* AWAY FROM IT. I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY TELL ME I WILL HAVE TO FORK OVER $4000 DOLLARS B/C THEY DON'T USUALLY FIX BROKEN TRANSMISSIONS AND SAID IT SHOULD JUST BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL IN SERVICING MY VEHICLE *PRECISELY* BECAUSE I DID *NOT* WANT MY CAR TO FAIL ON ME WITHOUT WARNING. I AM *EXTREMELY* UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS. IF HONDA ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT THIS MASSIVE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS FIXED. I THINK ONLY SHEER BLIND LUCK HAS KEPT SO MANY PEOPLE FROM GETTING KILLED WITH THIS DEFECT. HOW LONG WILL IT BE UNTIL SOMEONE'S TRANSMISSION FAILS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THEY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH MORE THAN ONE LIFE LOST. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF *IF* IT WILL HAPPEN. IT'S A MATTER OF *WHEN* IT HAPPENS. AND HOW WILL IT LOOK WHEN THAT GOES ON THE NEWS AND EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? THIS IS DESPICABLE, IRRESPONSIBLE, AND JUST PLAIN WRONG. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
REAR CONTROL ARM NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA FOR SOME REASON DOESN'T WANT TO DO A RECALL ON. THIS PROBLEM HAS MADE MY TIRES WEAR FASTER THAN USUAL. HONDA IS OFFERING VERY LITTLE TOWARDS REPLACING MY TIRES. I HAVE 17,000 MILES ON MY CAR. MY PART WAS ORDERED A WEEK AGO AND STILL WAITING FOR IT TO COME IN. THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD PUT NEW TIRES ON MY LEASED CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WORRY ABOUT MY LONG DISTANCE DRIVING. IS THIS PART GOING TO BREAK AND HAVE MY TIRES FALL OFF???? I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINANT WITH HONDA. I THINK HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE THE TIRES. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE TURNING A CORNER BETWEEN 60-70 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK A DIRT BANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HIS HEAD STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AND HAD A CUT/BRUISE ON HIS FOREHEAD FROM STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD. THE FRONT END AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE WERE DAMAGED. THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE CRASH BECAUSE HE BLACKED OUT. A PASSERBY WOKE HIM UP AND CALLED 911. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS. THE VEHICLE WAS RENDERED AS DESTROYED. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND FILED A REPORT. THERE WERE NO OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ON SUNDAY 9-7-08 AT APX. 0945 HOURS I WAS DRIVING EAST ON I-64 IN HUNTINGTON, WV AT MILE MARKER 14 ON MY WAY TO CHURCH. I STARTED TO HEAR A FLAPPING NOISE AND THEN A GRINDING NOISE SO I IMMEDIATELY EXITED AT THE ADJACENT EXIT #15 AND PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY. A WITNESS SAW THE TIRE SMOKING AND WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY SO HE PULLED OFF TO HELP ME. THIS GOOD SAMARITAN CHANGED MY TIRE FOR ME AND PUT ON THE SMALL EMERGENCY DONUT AND I PROCEEDED TO CHURCH IN BARBOURSVILLE ARRIVING 15 MINUTES LATE. COOPER TIRE WAS CONTACTED AND A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE WAS SUBMITTED. NO DECISION ON REPLACEMENT OR REPAIRS WERE MADE AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT. THE TIRE TREAD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE LOWER PORTION OF THE TIRE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE OTHER 3 TIRES ON MY HONDA CIVIC ARE THE SAME BRAND AND MODEL AND WERE PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME ON 5-5-08. *TR

SUSPENSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER SHE MADE A LEFT TURN. THE NOISE GREW LOUDER AND BEGAN TO AFFECT THE VEHICLE WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS. THE NOISE COULD BE HEARD FROM BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT STRUTS AND UPON LEAVING THE DEALER, THE NOISE CONTINUED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY CALLED THE MANUFACTURER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE SECOND DEALER STATED THAT THE CV SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,510.

STEERING
ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2008, I BEGAN MY DRIVE TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME (NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER) WHILE I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH! LUCKILY, I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND ABLE TO STOP THE CAR EVEN THOUGH I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABOUT TO TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY! MY CAR IS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART. WHAT SCARES ME IS THE THOUGHT OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED. TO ME, THIS SITUATION HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING ON PAR WITH THE DANGER AND FATALITIES INCURRED BY OWNERS OF FORD EXPLORERS SOME YEARS AGO (E.G., TIRES). I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO SEE IF OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRIDS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR STEERING WHEELS LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING AND WHETHER THERE HAVE BEEN MAJOR FATALITIES/ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THEM HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A MAJOR RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS
I HAVE OWNED A BRAND-NEW '08 HONDA CIVIC LX FOUR-DOOR SEDAN, MT FOR APPROXIMATELY 4-5 WEEKS. I DRIVE MY CAR 5 DAYS A WEEK, ROUNDTRIP EACH DAY 140 MILES. ABOUT 3 WEEKS IN, I SUFFERED EXCRUCIATING NECK/SHOULDERS/BACK PAIN. I ADJUSTED THE SEAT ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT WAYS AND MOVED THE HEADREST UP AND DOWN, TO NO AVAIL. FINALLY, I RIPPED THE HEADREST COMPLETELY OUT AND THEN I DROVE PAIN FREE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. NOW, THE PAIN IS BACK, EVEN THOUGH THE HEADREST IS STILL FACING BACKWARD. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP BUT HAVEN'T HEARD BACK YET ABOUT A SOLUTION. I'M STILL IN SEVERE NECK PAIN, AND I CURRENTLY HAVE NO WHIPLASH PROTECTION, SHOULD I CRASH, BECAUSE THE HEAD REST IS TILTED TOO FAR BACK. THE FORWARD-JUTTING HEADRESTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A WHIPLASH SAFETY FEATURE, BUT WHAT GOOD IS IT IF I REMOVE IT BECAUSE I CAN'T TOLERATE THE PAIN I'M IN EVERY DAY? THERE IS A TON OF INTERNET CHATTER OUT THERE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR, STEERING
ON SEPT 7, 2007. I COMPLAIN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN CARSON, ABOUT A ROARING SOUND ON MY REAL WHEELS. ASIDE FROM THAT THERE WAS UNEVEN WEAR ON BOTH INNER SIDE OF THE TIRES. THE SOUND WAS LIKE A BEARING FAILURE. THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED AN ALIGNMENT. SO I PAID FOR IT. PLUS I HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES. THEN TODAY 9-2-08. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD THEY WOUND NOT COVER SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY CAR 55,000 HOWEVER ON FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR 2008. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS ON 2006 AND 07 HONDA CIVIC LX AND EX NOT SI. SO TRIED TO ARGUE ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN BOTH HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HONDA MOTORS NORTH AMERICA. THEY ARE GIVING ME A RUN AROUND AND WONT PAY ME FOR MY TIRES AND ALIGNMENT COST. BUT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IS REPLACING FLANGE AND UPPER CONTROL ARM AS STATED IN SERVICE BULLETIN. I REQUEST YOUR KIND OFFICE AND RECOMMEND A RECALL ON THIS ISSUES OF ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THEY SAID ITS JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOT A RECALL. SO ITS NOT MANDATORY. SO THEY WONT PAY FOR MY THIRD TIRE AND ALIGNMENT . AND THE CAN GET OFF THE HOOK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE NOT ALL PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THIS AND STILL DRIVE THEIR CARS UNIT THE TREAD COMES OUT AND THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES WHEN THEY ARE BAD AND WOBBLE THE FRONT STEERING .I'M A MECHANIC FOR (YRS NEVER HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING ISSUES STRAIGHTEN OUT. *TR

REAR SHOCK OF HONDA 2007 HONDA CIVIC FAILED. BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. INFORMED THAT FAILURE WAS POSSIBLE DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM( TSA# 10024687). REAR TIRES SHOWED EXCESSIVE WEAR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE SUSPENSION ISSUES. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY YET HONDA WOULD ONLY COVER 50% OF THE COST OF REPLACING THE TIRES. THEY COVERED FULL COST OF REPLACING THE CONTROL ARM. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT A NEW 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID AND THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST STOPPED WORKING. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALER I FOUND OUT THAT A/C CONDENSER WAS DAMAGED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO SMALL PEBBLES ON THE ROAD AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE A/C CONDENSER. IT'S NOT ONLY ON THE CIVIC, BUT ALSO THE ACCORD AND CR-V. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE IT FIXED. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING IN FRONT OF THE CONDENSER TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING DAMAGED. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP. I HAVE ALREADY INFORMED EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM: FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND CO-WORKERS. WE WERE DECIDING TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA CAR THIS YEAR, BUT UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS FIXED WE WILL NOT BUY ANY HONDA'S OR ITS PARTNERS SUCH AS ACURA. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
APPROX IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2006 MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE DEFECT. WAS NOTIFIED EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. ON JULY 21, 2007 THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE CLOSING THE PASSENGER DOOR, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. THE CURTAIN AND SEAT BOTH DEPLOYED. FOLLOWED UP WITH AN APPOINTMENT AT POMPANO HONDA. SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY AMERICAN HONDA DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. THE REP CAME INTO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND DENIED THE CLAIM. HE SAID THAT THE DEPLOYMENT WAS DUE TO IMPACT IN ON MY BUMPER WHICH PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED A YEAR PRIOR TO THE DEPLOYMENT. I SINCE THEN HAVE HAD TO PAY $1500.00 TO COVER THE REPAIR. I FEEL AS IF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED THROUGH AMERICAN HONDA AS A SAFETY ISSUE DEFECT. I AM REFERRING TO YOU FOR POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE IN REVIEWING THIS ISSUE ON MY BEHALF. HONDA WOULD NOT ALLOW ME ACCESS TO MY SERVICE FILE AND PHOTOGRAPHS THE REP TOOK OF MY VEHICLE, WHICH DENIED MY CLAIM. POMPANO HONDA TOLD ME THE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE PROPERTY OF HONDA. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES ON THE ALLEGED BUMPER DAMAGE WHICH THEY CONTEND CREATED THE DEPLOYMENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. *TR
