STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
SINCE I GOT MY CAR WITH 62,000 MILES EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO GET OIL CHANGES EVERY 3 MONTHS THE TELL ME THE CONTROL ARMS ARE BAD AND CAUSING UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRE TREAD... I GET NEW TIRES AND IT ONLY LAST SO LONG BEFORE THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE BECAUSE OF THE UNEVEN WEAR NOT EVEN GOING AT A HIGH SPEED... IT MAKES IT HARDER TO STOP DUE TO THE SHAKING WHICH SCARES ME WHEN I HAVE TO STOP SUDDENLY DUE TO OTHER DRIVERS OR SOMETHING IN THE ROAD.. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY SON WAS DRIVING AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A 5 WAY INTERSECTION CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. MY CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR MADE LOUD RUBBING NOISE. CAR WAS TOWED TO HONDA DEALER. I WAS TOLD IN WAS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH. I CONTACTED HONDA WARRANTIES I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED USED HONDA. IT HAD 100000 MI WARRANTY WHICH I WAS PAST. HONDA ADVISE IT WAS 3900.00 IF FIX AND AGREED TO PAY 1300. IN READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 YEAR I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID MORE. SINCE OWNING THE CAR I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES FROM HONDA ABOUT ENGINE LEAKAGE PROBLEM AND THAT ENGINE IS COVERED FOR 10YEARS, ALSO REAR CONTROL ARMS, AND I JUST RECEIVED IN MAIL A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE ABOUT PREMATURE BREAK WARE. AT AROUND 70000 I HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR MOUNTS THAT WAS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR DRUM BRAKES AT 90000. I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A CLUTCH EVERY AND KEEP MOST CARS FOR OVER 150000 MI. AND DRUM BRAKES SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE AT 90000. I HAVE TO SAY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE THERE IS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSIONS ON THIS YEAR. *TR

AIR BAGS
I AM HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH MY SIDE CURTAIN DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WHEN IT RAINS. I SPOKE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WANT TO TAKE APART MY WHOLE CAR AND BOTH ALSO SAID COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. IT APPARENTLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANT BECAUSE IT IS A WATER LEAK BUT THAT IS UNFAIR. IT IS MOST LIKELY DESTROYING MY AIR BAG AND THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. HONDA CORPORATE TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE AND THAT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS ADVISED BY HONDA NORTH IN CLOVIS, CA, TO REPLACE THE OPDS SENSOR AND THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT WHICH SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. IT DID NOT! I SPENT $697.87 FOR THIS REPAIR AT VISALIA HONDA ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT RESET THE AIR BAGS. I WAS THEN TOLD THE SRS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESET THE AIR BAGS. THE QUOTED COST TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS $450.00. ALSO, I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA'S SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], THAT THEY HAD NO WAY OF DETERMINING WHY THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COMING SO REPAIRS WERE BEING MADE IN SOME KIND OF PECKING ORDER. THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED WITH AMERICAN HONDA PROVIDING THE PART WHILE I PAID $221.54 FOR THE LABOR. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN AUGUST 2014 AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD BY VISALIA HONDA THAT THE CABLE REEL HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $413.00. THE CABLE REEL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEIR 2007 CIVIC BUT YET AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND IT GOES INTO A SHIFT GEAR IT TUGS BACK AND FORTH THAN IT KICKS IN, IN ONLY DOES IT AT CERTAIN SPEED THAN IT STOPS. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE ANY RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IF ANY REPAIRS ARE BEING DONE OR HAVE BEEN DONE. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL JUST BREAK APART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND CAUSE SOME PILEUP AND MY LIFE OR OTHERS MAY BE IN DANGER. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
ORIGINAL REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS (OEM) NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO KNOWN CAMBER MISALIGNMENT FROM FACTORY. THIS WELL-KNOWN ISSUE FROM HONDA (ON 2006 - 2009 CIVICS) CAUSES UNEVEN WEAR AND SHORTENS THE LIFETIME OF TIRES. THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE TO BRING THE ALIGNMENT SPECS (CAMBER) BACK INTO A SAFE RANGE IS TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND TIRES. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AS USUAL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, WHEN I CAME TO THE STOP LIGHT THE FRONT RIGHT OF MY CARS HAD STREAMS OF SMOKE POURING OUT. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR DIED, I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE INDICATED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE 2007 CIVIC FOR 10YEARS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE OF THE 2007 CIVIC OVERHEATING AND CRACKING/DESTROYING THE ENGINE. IT IS MY HOPE THAT HONDA WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE AND HONOR/OWN THE DEFECTS. *TR
