POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM A 23 YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT. STRUGGLING WITH A PART-TIME JOB AND TRYING TO FINISH SCHOOL. I JUST PAID OVER $1000 TO GET MY AC COMPRESSOR FIXED A FEW MONTHS AGO. JUST YESTERDAY I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL AND MY ENGINE KEPT REVVING UP, BUT I WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE, YET I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, JUST HAD TO GO SLOW. SO I STARTED DRIVING SLOWLY, KEEPING MY SPEED AT ABOUT 30MPH. I TOOK THE LOCAL WAY TOO. I END UP GETTING TO A POINT WHERE NO MATTER WHAT I DID THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, IT WAS AS IF I WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR COMES TO A CRAWL, I END UP MOVING THE CAR TO THE SIDE. WHILE I WAS WAITING, I DECIDED TO TRY DRIVING IT AGAIN, SO I START THE CAR AGAIN, AND IT SEEMS TO WORK ALRIGHT, HOWEVER, I COULD STILL ONLY GO ABOUT 30MPH. I END UP STOPPING AT A NEARBY GAS STATION. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME, BUT DIDN'T GET TOO FAR FROM THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STOPS ACCELERATING AGAIN. I FINALLY PULLED OVER, CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND WE HAD IT DROPPED OFF AT THE HONDA DEALER, BUT SINCE IT WAS NIGHT TIME, NO ONE WAS THERE. WE WENT THERE THIS MORNING AND WE FIND OUT THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL BE ABLE TO GET A USED TRANSMISSION WITH 29,000 MILES ON IT, WITH LABOR AND PARTS ALTOGETHER, THE CHARGE WAS $2500! THIS IS AFTER PAYING FOR AN AC COMPRESSOR I JUST REPLACED. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW IF I EVEN WANT TO GET IT FIXED. I'VE ALWAYS HEARD HOW RELIABLE HONDA IS, THIS IS MY FIRST CAR, THINKING THIS WOULD AT LEAST GET ME THROUGH COLLEGE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WHEN I FIRST STARTED GOING TO COLLEGE, BUT IT JUST WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT. I'M PRETTY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I WANT TO DO. I WON'T EVEN GET ANYTHING FOR THE CAR IF I TRY TRADING IT IN OR SALVAGING IT. I KNOW ONE THING, I'M NOT GETTING A HONDA ANYMORE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION COMPLETE FAILURE AT 121,000 MILE AFTER KEEPING MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. THERE WAS SLIPPAGE 3 YEARS AGO AND I WAS THANKFUL THAT WE WERE MOVING TO FL SINCE THERE ARE FEW MAJOR HILLS THERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP SAVE MY TRANSMISSION. WE COULD NO LONGER AFFORD TO STAY IN FLORIDA DUE TO MY HEALTH FAILING AND I NEEDED TO BE NEARER TO FAMILY TO TAKE CARE OF MY HEALTH ISSUES. UPON MOVING BACK TO PA ABOUT 3,000 MILE LATER MY TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. I AM PRESENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF SPEAKING WITH HONDA OF AMERICA SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BASED ON REPUTATION AND KNOWLEDGE THAT WITH GENERAL MAINTENANCE THAT YOU CAN GET 200-400,000 MILE IT MAINTAINED. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT GOOD WILL, I AM TALKING ABOUT SPENDING OVER 15,000 FOR A NEW CAR THAT GOT ME 6 YEARS AND WHAM. NOTHING. I HAVE ALWAYS SPENT 1,000 ON A USED CAR AND ALWAYS GOTTEN MORE THAN A YEAR OUT OF THAT IT WOULD HAVE PAID ME TO BUY 6 USED CARS AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF I WOULD STILL HAVE MONEY IN MY POCKET AT THIS POINT INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT POSSIBLY SPENDING A BUNCH TO GET THIS ONE FIXED! I AM DISABLED AND NOT IN THE POSITION TO SPEND ANYTHING ON THIS CAR.. I HAVE PUT ENOUGH INTO IT OVER THE YEARS TO GUARANTEE THAT I SHOULD NOT BE LOOKING AT A MAJOR REPAIR AT THIS POINT! I HAVE SPOKEN TO A NUMBER OF 01 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS AND NO ONE IS HAPPY WITH THIS CAR I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SAME TRANSMISSION IS IN THE CIVIC THAT IS IN THE ACCORD THEY ADMIT THE RECALL ON THE ACCORD BUT NOT THE CIVIC I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FIND THAT 98-03 ACCORDS ARE ROTTEN ON TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND 01 -02 CIVICS ARE RIGHT THERE WITH THEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND ADDRESS THIS. THANK YOU VERY DISAPPOINTED CIVIC OWNER LAD *TR

AIR BAGS, EQUIPMENT
ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2007 I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ALONE IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX ON A DIRT ROAD. I WAS NOT SPEEDING AND I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I CHOSE A DIFFERENT ROUTE FROM MY NORMAL ROUTE AND MISSED THE S CURVE IN THE ROAD. MY CAR WENT TO THE DITCH ROUGHLY 3 FEET DEEP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, HITTING THE DRIVERS FRONT, ROLLING THE CAR ONE TIME, LANDING ON THE WHEELS AND I PUT THE BRAKES ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I THEN GOT OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SMASHED COMPLETELY DOWN NOT ALLOWING ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR OR THE WINDOW. I COULD NOT FIND MY CELL PHONE AND WENT AND LOOKED INTO THE FIELD AND FOUND WHERE MY CAR ROLLED AND FOUND THE PHONE WITH THE GLASS FROM MY WINDOW. I THEN CALLED 911 AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO SIDNEY, NE WHERE AFTER A CATSCAN THEY FOUND THAT I HAD A BROKEN NECK IN 2 PLACES C6 AND C7. THEY THEN TRANSFERRED ME BY AMBULANCE TO FORT COLLINS, COLORADO WHERE I HAD SURGERY TO FUSE THE BROKEN VERTEBRAE. I AM NOW OUT OF WORK AND OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR NOW UNTIL I AM HEALED. I CALLED HONDA WORRIED THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT THIS CAR WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RATING BECAUSE I WANTED MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE IN ANY EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA AFTER I CALLED THEM BACK 2 TIMES FINALLY TOLD ME THAT (CASE# N012007-11-2900916) HONDA DOES NOT DESIGN THEIR AIRBAGS TO GO OFF IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER. FUNNY HOW WHEN I DID MY RESEARCH 1 OUT OF 4 PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN A ROLLOVER. WHY WOULDN'T THAT BE A SAFETY CONCERN?? SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE IS NOTHING DONE TO FIX THE SITUATION. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
THE SUSPENSION ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC CANNOT BE ALIGNED DUE TO INCORRECT MANUFACTURING. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT EFFECTS ALL 2006 HONDA CIVICS. THE PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY WITH EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR BUT THE HANDLING OF THE CAR IS NOT AS IT SHOULD BE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I TRIED EVASIVE ACTION WHILE THE SUSPENSION IS NOT ALIGNED CORRECTLY. THERE IS A VERY BIG ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED TO BRING THE CAR BACK INTO SPEC (OVER 2 DEGREES IN THE REAR SUSPENSION). I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WAS WAITING FOR ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO BE FILED TO JUSTIFY A RECALL. I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOW THAT MY SUSPENSION WAS SO OUT OF ALIGNMENT HAD I NOT GONE TO A HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIRS.. *TR

STEERING, STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
ON MY WAY TO WORK, AFTER NORMAL DRIVING FOR 2 MILES, THE VEHICLE LOST IT'S POWER STEERING. I WAS JUST ENTERING THE FREEWAY, SO I GOT OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT AND TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONE OF THE IDIOT LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLASH FOR A SPLIT SECOND BUT WOULD NOT REMAIN ON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ONLY A MILE AWAY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WAITED FOR MY TURN. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON TO MOVE IT FORWARD AND VOILA, THE STEERING PROBLEM WAS GONE. I EXPLAINED TO THE TECH ALL THAT HAD TRANSPIRED. HE TURNED THE IGNITION AND POINTED TO AN IDIOT LIGHT AND ASKED ME IF THAT WAS THE ONE I HAD SEEN. I SAID YES BECAUSE IT LOOKED VERY MUCH LIKE IT. I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR THEIR TESTING. THEY CALLED ME LATER THAT AFTERNOON AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND ALSO THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES THAT REGISTERED. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC WITH 85,000 MILES. I HAD THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FIXED IN MAY 2007 AS PART OF THE HONDA RECALL. AT THIS TIME THE DEALER DID A "ONCE OVER" ON THE CAR AND SAID MY STRUTS WERE LEAKING, BUT NOTHING ELSE. ON NOVEMBER 4TH I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THE CAR STARTED, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, ETC. LUCKILY I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY STREET. IT TURNS OUT THAT I NEEDED AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION, I WOUND UP FIXING IT FOR $2,500 AS THE CAR IS PAID OFF. I CALLED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY WILL ONLY ENTERTAIN THE PROBLEM IF I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS - AND WHAT PAY $5,000+ FOR THE DEALER TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION - NO THANKS. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CIVIC SI VERSION. THE SRS LIGHT ALWAYS LIGHT UP. I HAVE BOUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICE A FEW TIMES. IT WAS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX. THE LIGHT WAS OFF FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND THEN IT CAME ON AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND TIME TO KEEP BRINING IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHERE IT WILL TURN BACK ON AGAIN AFTER A WHILE. AS FOR NOW, I AM DRIVING AS IS FOR A LONG LONG WHILE. IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIX? *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC SI DRIVE-BY-WIRE THROTTLE KEEPS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THIS HAS CAUSED TWO NEAR CRASHES IN THE FIRST WEEK THAT I OWNED THE VEHICLE. I NOW KEEP THE CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FOR THE THOUSANDS OF CIVIC SI OWNERS. THE HONDA CIVIC SI'S SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI. I HAVE HEARD A POPPING TYPE SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR OR ON THE DRIVETRAIN. I HEAR IT WHEN GOING INTO OR OUT OF DRIVEWAYS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. ALSO I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIRD GEARIN MY TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO GRAB THIRD GEAR. I HAD TO HAVE MY CLUTCH REPLACED AT 4K MILES. I WAS TOLD IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN MY "HARD SHIFTING". I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THIS INCIDENT TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, AND THEY SAY THEY CANT MAKE MY CAR DO THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE IT. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED THAT HONDA WILL NOT STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD THEY WANT TO BLAME IT ON MY "POOR DRIVING". *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN
HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2006 PROBLEM WITH RANDOM SURGING: I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 50 EASTBOUND TO SACRAMENTO, WHEN TRAFFIC CAME TO A STANDSTILL, THEN STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN SLOWLY. OTHER CARS WOULD FILL UP THE SPACE IN FRONT OF ME-I COULD NOT KEEP A CAR-LENGTHS DISTANCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I WAS STOPPED AND THEN AS TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING FORWARD, I TAPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR OF MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2006, AND INSTEAD OF SLIGHTLY MOVING FORWARD, MY CAR SURGED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A HIGH ACCELERATION-I DID NOT SEE THE EXACT DEGREE ON MY DASH, BUT HEARD THE ENGINE REVVING LOUDLY. I NOTICED THIS (TO GREATER OR LESSER DEGREES) A HANDFUL OF TIMES AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, BUT IN THOSE INSTANCES, THE ACCELERATION MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AS GREAT AND/OR I HAD A MUCH SAFER DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS AND I HAD TIME TO PUT ON THE BRAKES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT, I BOUGHT A HYBRID-LEMON AND HONDA WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS-BUT I FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND OTHER REPORTS THAT HONDA WOULD NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THIS MAY BE IN PART AS THE EVENTS CANNOT BE READILY REPRODUCED TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. HTTP://WWW.HYBRIDCARS.COM/FORUMS/HYBRID-DIESEL-T436P10.HTML I HAVE OWNED 2 HONDA CIVICS (NON-HYBRID), AND I HAVE BEEN A SATISFIED HONDA CUSTOMER UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS HYBRID. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALER WITH THE DAMAGE BEING ASSESSED (CANNOT CHECK MILEAGE ON THE CAR AND OTHER INFORMATION TO FILL OUT ALL THE INFO YOU WANT), AND NO ONE YET HAS CALLED ME BACK FROM HONDA. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE ABOVE, AND WHETHER OR NOT HONDA WILL ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE RANDOM ACCELERATION-SURGES ARE UNCOMMON OCCURRENCES, THEY MAY BE DEADLY OCCURRENCES. HOWEVER, THESE OCCURRENCES SHOULD BE PREVENTABLE, IF THE GOVERNMENT WOULD INVESTIGATE. SINCERELY, G. MELENDRES, MD *TR
