ENGINE
ENGINE BLOCK IS DEFECTIVE. HONDA HAS A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCKS THAT START LEAKING COOLANT. MY CAR IS A 2006 AND THE WARRANTY WAS GOOD TO 2016. I AM DISAPPOINTED HONDA WILL NOT DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE. ATTACHED BELOW ARE PICTURES OF THE KNOWN LOCATION OF THE ENGINE BLOCK CASTING FAILURES.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON 24 FEB 2021, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE ROAD AT ABOUT 50 MPH, MY MOONROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED OUTWARD. THE MOONROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION. I HAD NOT PASSED UNDER ANY OVERPASS (DROPPED OBJECT), NOR WAS I PASSING OR HAD I BEEN PASSED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE (THROWN DEBRIS). THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS OVER 200 YARDS AWAY. WHEN THE MOONROOF UNEXPLAINABLY EXPLODED, MOONROOF GLASS WAS THROWN ACROSS MY ROOF AND TRUNK, SCRATCHING THE PAINT. THE REPAIR BILL FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR JUST THE MOONROOF REPAIR WAS $976.66. I FEEL THERE CAN BE NO OTHER EXPLANATION TO THE EXPLODED MOONROOF OTHER THAN SOME TYPE OF DEFECT WITH THE CAR. THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARD, AND THE ENTIRE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. IT WAS NOT A "ROCK CHIP" OR OTHER TYPE OF DAMAGE SINCE NOTHING ELSE WAS IN THE AREA.

AIR BAGS
RECURRENT AND UNSOLVED ISSUES WITH THE SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. IT WAS "REPAIRED" IN 2016, AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2021, AND HAS RECURRED AGAIN IN MARCH 2021. I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC SI, WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL PROGRAM. THE SI IS AN UNCOMMON MODEL OF THE CIVIC, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE REASON IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES OVER THE YEARS WITH THE SRS WARNING LIGHT COMING ON, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE IT EFFECTIVELY REPAIRED. ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUMS FOR OLDER CIVICS, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THOSE OWNERS RECOMMEND DIY REPAIRS AND WORK-AROUNDS. GIVEN THE LIFE-SAVING IMPORTANCE OF AIRBAGS, HONDA SHOULD BE REPAIRING/REPLACING THEM AS NEEDED.

WE ALMOST GOT KILLED TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL ISSUE WAS ALREADY LOOKED AT BY MY MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND REPLACED THAT INSTEAD. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE ALTERNATOR! I TOOK IT BACK AFTER WE WERE ALMOST KILLED. HE FIXED THE STEERING ISSUE BUT NOW THE CAR DOESN'T STEER RIGHT AWAY AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED ON! WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? IT STAYS LOCKED AND YOU CAN ONLY GO FRONTWARDS AND BACK!! WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH TILL IT UNLOCKS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OF THIS CAR? I DON'T DRIVE FAR. IT ONLY HAS 81491 MILES ON IT. ON THE MECHANIC'S BILL STEERING ISSUE ELECTRONIC STEERING MOTOR- REMOVE & REPLACE- ALL APPLICABLE MODELS. DID YOU RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE? WHEN DO I GET MY MONEY BACK FROM HONDA FOR THEIR MISTAKES? I AM 68 YEARS OLD DISABLED WOMAN WHO NEEDS HELP WITH THIS BILL. HONDA SHOULD PAY THE BILL FOR ME.

REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF RECALL. 2006 CIVIC: ENGINE DOES NOT START, AND THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM MAKES CAR INOPERABLE, ESPECIALLY IF THE BATTERY RECENTLY WENT DEAD AND THE ENGINE WAS JUMP-STARTED.

THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT (HONDA DEFECT CODE: 03217) REPORTED IN MANY, MANY POSTINGS AND COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET, OVER MANY YEARS, FROM 2006 UNTIL RECENTLY, BOTH HERE IN THE U.S. AND IN THE UK. SEE EXTRACTS FROM NUMEROUS INTERNET REPORTS IN ATTACHMENT (INTERNET REPORTS - PROBLEM.DOCX). 2. THERE IS NO WARNING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OR INFORMATION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THIS CAR, OR ANY NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA, ON THE CORRECT WAY TO JUMP START THE CAR TO AVOID THE PROBLEM. SEE JUMP STARTING SECTION IN ATTACHMENT (2006 EX OWNER'S MANUAL.PDF) 3.

STEERING
AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR 30-40 MINUTES THE STEERING BECOMES JERKY AND STICKY. FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS TRYING TO OVER CORRECT WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I HAVE MY CAR IN THE DEALER SINCE LAST WEEK WHERE THE SERVICE GUYS DROVE MY CAR AND AND FELT THE PROBLEM, THEY SUBMITTED A CLAIM UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOW THE WARRANTY GUY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND DENIED MY CLAIM. THIS IS REALLY UNPROFESSIONAL ON HONDA'S PART FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE THAT WE ARE ALL HAVING. I SWEAR I USED TO LOVE DRIVING MY CAR, NOW I'M SO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THAT I CAN'T ENJOY IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BECAUSE IT IS REALLY UNSAFE. I THINK THEY WANT US TO CRASH OUR CARS RATHER FIXING A SIMPLE ISSUE AND CHANGE THE EPS RACK AND PINION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PAINT HAS PEELED FROM THE WHOLE CAR. HONDA CREATED A RECALL AND NEVER INFORMED ME. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE DURING THE RECALL AND THEY NEVER MENTIONED IT. ONCE I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL I CONTACTED THEM BUT THEY SAID IT WAS TOO LATE. HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER INFORMED AND THEY SAID NOTHING DURING DEALER VISITS. I HAVE HEARD THEY DON'T WANT TO NOTIFY PEOPLE BECAUSE THE FIX IS VERY EXPENSIVE AS IT IS DONE OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP BY PRIVATE COMPANIES THEY PARTNER WITH. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THEIR RECALL.

STEERING
STEERING STICKS AFTER DRIVING FOR 20-30MINS. USUALLY WHEELS FORWARD/STRAIGHT. TENDS TO OCCUR MORE OFTEN ON HIGHWAYS, LESS OFTEN ON CURVY ROADS. WHEN MAKING SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO MAINTAIN LANE POSITION, IT TAKES AN UNUSUAL AND UNCOMFORTABLE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO GET IT OUT OF ITS STUCK POSITION. ONCE IT BREAKS FREE, IT IS A SLIGHT OVER ADJUSTMENT. DOES NOT SEEM TO STICK WHILE IN TURNS. I HAVE REPLACED FACTORY TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT, STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS NO AFTERMARKET PARTS. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO COME AND GO, AND I HAVE NOT NOTICED A SPECIFIC PATTERN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY CAR ALARM RANDOMLY STARTED GOING OFF WHILE PARKED FOR THREE DAYS, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED BACK TO BACK AT 2AM WHILE PARKED. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF WITH MY KEY FOB AND IT WOULD NOT REGISTER. I OPENED THE CAR WITH THE KEY IN THE FOB AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE STARTED AND I REMAINED PARKED. THEN I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, INSTEAD THE LIGHTS FLICKERED ON THE DASH AND THE CAR STAYED ON. I TRIED IT 2 MORE TIMES AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE DASH. ALL THE WARNING SIGNS CAME ON THE CAR INCLUDING A BREAK SYSTEMS ERROR AND A TIRE PRESSURE ERROR. AFTER THIS, I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT OF MY FOB AND NOW THE CAR BATTERY IS DEAD. I POWERED UP THE BATTERY TODAY BUT THE CAR WON'T START. THE DASH TURNS ON BUT THEN IT JUST FLICKERS AND GIVES ME ALL THE SAME WARNING SIGNS. I FOUND THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2016 CIVICS AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2017 AND 2018 CIVIC AS WELL. MINE IS A 2017 CIVI AND IT'S HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES THAT COULD BE DEADLY IF THEY HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY.
