FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE 2004 CIVIC AND I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT IS SIMILAR TO ONE ABOUT THE GAS TANK INDICATOR. IT STARTED AFTER MY 30K SERVICE AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. BUT, I DID NOT COMPLAIN TO THEM, AS I REALLY DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. (THEY HAD QUOTED ME FOR A FULL SERVICE, AND THEN CALLED ME AT WORK TO SAY THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CABIN FILTER, SO ADDED ANOTHER $80... TOTAL TO WELL OVER $500.) I KNEW IF I WENT IN WITH A PROBLEM THEY WOULD TAKE ME FOR A RIDE AGAIN. ANYWAY THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER I ADDED STP FUEL CLEANER A COUPLE OF TIMES INTO A FULL TANK. WALL MART HAS THESE FOR ABOUT $2.50 FOR THREE SMALL BOTTLES, EACH WORK A SINGLE CLEAN. I LOVE MY HONDA. NOTHING MUCH WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT IS JUST A GOOD NATURED CAR, OTHER THAN WHEN TRYING TO BREAK GENTLY AT VERY LOW SPEED, AS IT HAS A TENDENCY TO JUMP. AT LOW SPEEDS, I NOW GIVE MY SELF SPACE AND I BREAK WITH REGULAR PRESSURE. FIRST, ALL CARS WILL HAVE SOME PROBLEMS. NOTHING MECHANICAL CAN BE PERFECT. SO BE AWARE OF THIS WHEN SERVICING A CAR. SECONDLY, THE PROBLEM IS MAINLY WITH DEALERS. HONDA OUGHT TO CRACK DOWN ON THESE CROOKS BY HAVING SET RULES POSTED ON DOORS OF DEALERSHIPS OVER PRICING, WHAT OUGHT TO BE IN A SERVICE, WHEN THE REGULAR SERVICE IS, ETC. EVEN AFTER THE FUEL AFFAIR WAS DONE WITH, I NOW WATCH HOW MANY MILES I DRIVE AND FILL IT EVERY 250 MILES OR SO. THAT WAY IT CAN NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS. A FEW DAYS AGO I FILLED IT UP AFTER 246 MILES. IT ONLY NEEDED 6.5 GALLONS TO TOP IT UP! YES, THAT IS OVER 39 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MOSTLY @ 65 MPH. WE AS CONSUMER SHOULD COMPLAIN. WE NEED HONDA TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH STANDARDS. IF HONEST PEOPLE SELL CARS FOR HONDA, THE IMAGE IS THAT MUCH BETTER. HONDA OUGHT TO WATCH OUT. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS FROM THE COMPETITION THAT IS BETTER AND BETTER. THEY ARE A MAJOR ENGINE AWAY FROM CATCHING UP, BUT IN THE AREA OF CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ARE PASSING HONDA. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
STARTED HEARING A ROTATIONAL NOISE FROM BACK WHEELS OF CAR. IT GOT LOUDER AS SPEED INCREASED. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER. THEY PERFORMED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPLACE THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND DID ALIGNMENT. THE INCORRECT PARTS WERE INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. HOWEVER, THE BAD PARTS ALLOWED THE REAR TIRES TO 'CUP' CAUSING THE NOISE. THE DEALER (AND MANUFACTURER) ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR CAUSED BY THE INCORRECT PARTS INSTALLED DURING MANUFACTURER. *TR

TIRES:VALVE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE VEHICLE HAS TECH INTERNATIONAL, MODEL TR418 VALVE STEMS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TWO VALVE STEM FAILURES ON TWO OF HER TIRES. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. SHE NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT WHEN HER VEHCILE STARTED TO LEAN. SOMEONE ASSISTED HER WITH PLACING A SPARE TIRE ON THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP AND THEY PLACED AIR IN THE TIRES AND STATED THAT SHE MUST HAVE DRIVEN OVER A POTHOLE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED ANOTHER TIRE AT THE COST OF $161, BUT LATER HAD THE TIRE COMPANY RECTIFY THE ISSUE. TWO DAYS LATER, SHE HEARD A THUMPING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AND PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT AND SHE NOTICED THAT THE VALVE STEM APPEARED TO BE CUT. SHE CALLED AAA AND THEY CHANGED THE TIRE. THE CONTACT ASKED THE TIRE SHOP IF THEY PURCHASED THEIR VALVE STEMS FROM DILL AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND THEY REFUTED THAT THEIR VALVE STEMS WERE FROM CHINA. THE PURCHASE DATE, SERIAL NUMBER, AND PART NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 59,900.

SUSPENSION:REAR
I PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007. I FOLLOW REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES AS RECOMMENDED BY MY DEALER. AS OF 8-18-2008, MY VEHICLE HAD OVER 12000 MILES ON IT. THE DAY PRIOR TO A REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION AND MISC. INSPECTION, I ENCOUNTERED A FLAT TIRE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE FLAT TIRE AND OTHER REAR TIRE, IT WAS NOTED THAT BOTH REAR TIRES WERE COMPLETELY BALD. BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED THAT SAME DAY. ON THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK MY CAR TO MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AT THE HONDA DEALER. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT I FELT THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT LED TO PREMATURE WEAR ON THE REAR TIRES AND THAT I ALSO WANTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE NEW TIRES. IN MY CONVERSATION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY SUSPECTED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A "CONTROL ARM" ISSUE AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE MANY TIMES BEGINNING WITH THE 2006 MODEL. ULTIMATELY, THEY REPLACED/ REPAIRED THE CONTROL ARM AT NO CHARGE, PHOTOGRAPHED THE TIRES, RETAINED THE DAMAGED TIRES AND OFFERED TO ATTEMPT TO SECURE A REFUND TO COVER THE COST OF NEW TIRES. I EXPRESSED MY STRONG OPINION THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AWARE TO ALL HONDA CUSTOMERS. I BELIEVE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT MY FAMILY AND I WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO RAPID WEAR OF THE TIRES. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND WAS ASTOUNDED TO READ OF MANY INCIDENTS THAT WERE NEARLY IDENTICAL TO MINE. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON TO THE HONDA CIVIC AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ALL INDIVIDUALS RIDING/DRIVING IN THESE VEHICLES. I AM CONSIDERING SELLING MY CIVIC HYBRID. I WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION
2007 HONDA CIVIC LX VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH SHAKING DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO THE POINT THAT CONVERSATION VIA BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE DEVICE IS GREATLY IMPAIRED. THE VIBRATION HAS ALREADY LED TO EARLY TIRE WEAR AND THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT TWICE AND REPLACED BOTH REAR TIRES ONCE AND A SECOND REAR TIRE A SECOND TIME SEEMINGLY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO FEAR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR THAT THERE WILL BE THREATENED VEHICLE SAFETY, AS THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS SHAKING APART AT TIMES. THE VIBRATION/SHAKING OCCURS ALL TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE APPROACHES 70 MPH AND MANY TIMES AT SLOWER SPEEDS. ON-LINE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN A TOO-SHORT REAR ARM IN THE VEHICLE SUSPENSION CAUSING A NUMBER OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN SEVERAL 2007 VEHICLES. HONDA HAS SO FAR SHOWN NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF A PROBLEM IN THIS ARENA NOR OFFERED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY HUSBAND WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN OUR HONDA CIVIC 2001 LX ON AUGUST 6TH. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 9:30 AM. THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM STOPPED SHORT TO TRY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, THUS MY HUSBAND TRIED TO STOP BUT RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM (I'M TOLD IT WAS A 3 CAR ACCIDENT). MY HUSBAND HIT HIS HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD, HIS CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. HE WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR AT THE TIME. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2001. I WAS IN A MINOR CAR ACCIDENT WITH THIS SAME CAR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON MY WAY TO CHURCH. AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT, BUT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED DURING THAT ACCIDENT EITHER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I WAS GOING SO SLOW THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE REASON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
UPON READING REPORT # 10235631 ON HONDA CIVIC 2007, "A SOUND LIKE WATER RUSHING FROM THE REAR UNDERSIDE OF CAR UPON BRAKING AND ACCELERATING": MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC DOES THIS ALSO. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT IT IS THE PARTIAL TANK OF GASOLINE SLOSHING BACK AND FORTH INSIDE THE GAS TANK. MOST, IF NOT ALL, CARS' GAS TANKS HAVE SHEET METAL BAFFLES INSIDE THE GAS TANK TO LIMIT THE SLOSHING OF FUEL UPON MOTION OF CAR. EITHER THE BAFFLES ARE NOT ADEQUATE OR NON-EXISTENT. DEALER JUST LOOKS AT ME WHEN I MENTIONED THIS. I KNOW CARS INSIDE AND OUT, AS I HAVE DONE ALMOST ALL OF THE MECHANICAL REPAIRS ON MY CARS FOR 55 YEARS, INCLUDING THE INNARDS OF THE GAS TANK. "IT'S A NO-BRAINER" ! *TR

STEERING
THE FIRST TIME DURING THE 1ST WEEK OF AUGUST 08, MY WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AND THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AAA TOW TRUCK GUY FOUND LOOSE NUT ON POWER STEERING PUMP (RIGHT NEXT TO BELT) RIGHT AWAY AND TIGHTENED IT FOR ME. IT WAS A TEMP FIX SO I COULD DRIVE TO GET SERVICE INSTEAD OF TOW. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T THINK MY HONDA SERVICE PEOPLE DIDN'T CHECK IT LIKE I REQUESTED CAUSE IT CAME LOOSE AGAIN (1 WK LATER)...LOCKING MY WHEEL. I THANK GOD I WASN'T ON A FREEWAY OR MAKING A SHARP TURN AROUND OTHER VEHICLES. HONDA MECHANICS DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS NUT IS COMING LOOSE. THEY CLAIM THEY RE-TIGHTENED ("TORQUED") IT BUT I'M SCARED. IT COULD COME LOOSE AGAIN!!!! STILL IN PROCESS OF HAVING PROBLEM CORRECTED. *TR

TIRES
I HAVE A HONDA 06 CIVIC COUPE THAT CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS RECURRING ISSUE. THE REAR TIRES "CUP", CAUSING UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR AND LOUD THUMPING SOUNDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MY VEHICLE AT 21,000 AND THEN AGAIN AT 52,000 MILES. UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR CAN LEAD TO TIRE BLOWOUTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND REPLACED THE TIRES, HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT 41,000, THE "CUPPING" IS STILL HAPPENING. ACCORDING TO SEARCHES ON THE WEB, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR 06 AND 07 HONDA CIVIC'S. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
NOTED LOUD TIRE WEAR AND EXCESSIVE VIBRATION FROM THE REAR AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 45MPH. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS PER A HONDA TSB. HOWEVER, THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY %OF THE TIRE REPLACEMENT- WHICH IS, OF COURSE, A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE FAULTY CONTROL ARMS. DRIVING WITH "CHOPPED" TIRES IS A KNOWN HAZARD, WHICH THE HONDA CORPORATION IS PROMOTING BY VIRTUE OF NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR BEING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. FURTHER, THE TSB SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO A "RECALL". *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
1. NO PRIOR WARNING, OTHER THAN A SLIGHT LURCH WHILE ACCELERATING WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY EARLIER THE SAME DAY. 2.&3. TRANSMISSION FAILURE/ P0370 INCORRECT GEAR RATIO RESULTING IN A PULLING LURCHING SENSATION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 10MPH WITHOUT AVOIDING THE LURCHING, HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL AREA THEN GET IT TOWED IN THE MORNING TO A MECHANIC WITHIN 3-4 MILES OF WHERE I WAS PARKED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS INDEED ON AND WAS TURNED OFF ONCE THE ERROR CODE WAS RETRIEVED BY THE TRIPLE A MECHANIC, WHO RECORDED IT AS A P0370 INCORRECT GEAR RATIO ISSUE. AS IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, HONDA'S POLICY IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ENTIRELY. AT THIS POINT, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE IT WAS A FAR MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED. HOWEVER, SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF NOW AND WITH IT, THE ERROR CODE, HONDA'S SERVICE CENTER HAS STATED THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE BY THEM UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARS AND THE LURCHING OCCURS AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT WHETHER THAT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET OR FREEWAY, IT WAS OF NO CONCERN TO THEM AND THAT THE SITUATION WAS OUT OF THEIR HANDS. THE SITUATION I HAVE WITH MY CAR MIRRORS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE MANY 2001 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS, HENCE MY CONCERN AND FRUSTRATION WITH THE AIRPORT MARINA HONDA DEALERSHIP. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT I WILL HAVE TO FORCE A LURCHING, JERKING CAR SAFELY OFF THE FREEWAY BEFORE HONDA WISHES TO DEAL WITH MY VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS DAMAGED TIRES. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE TIRES ARE DAMAGED DUE TO DEFECTIVE PART ON CAR. WOULD LIKE KNOW WHY HONDA WON'T REPLACE THE TIRES. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THEY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A TIRE ROTATION, BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE REAR END CAUSING THE VIBRATION. THE DEALER RECOMMEND REPLACING THE REAR TIRES.*JB
