"TAKATA RECALL" REPORTS AND VEHICLE SAFETY TEST REPORTS ARE UN-SATISFACTORY WITH THE 2005 HONDA CIVIC. I HAVE REQUESTED FUCCO HONDA TO RESOLVE AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD, AND FUCCO HONDA HAS FAILED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AFTER SERVICE APPOINTMENTS AND SAFETY INSPECTIONS.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY IN A RURAL AREA, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION SUSTAINING FRONT IMPACT CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, WITH SUCH IMPACT TO THE FRONT END, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE OR ARE INTENDED TO.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY RESULTING IN SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF THE CAR 'ROLLING' AWAY AFTER ENGAGING THE E-BRAKE. THIS HAPPENED FOR SOME TIME UNTIL I COULD NOT ENGAGE THE E-BRAKE AT ALL UNLESS CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGING THE BUTTON AND WAITING UP TO 10 MINUTES AND 20+ 'PULLS' OF THE BRAKE BUTTON. IF I WAS ABLE TO, IT WOULD NOT STAY ON FOR GOOD AT ALL TIMES, RESULTING IN THE CAR ROLLING AWAY QUITE OFTEN. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND UNSAFE. WHEN HONDA SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2016 CIVIC SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE, I DECIDED TO FIX IT OUT OF POCKET. HOWEVER, THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO OTHER VINS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND MAY HAPPEN AGAIN REGARDLESS OF MY DEALERSHIP FIXING IT ON THIS OCCASION. I THOUGHT BY LAW, RECALLS HAPPENED BY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL, NOT NECESSARILY BY THE SPECIFIC VIN #S AFFECTED (IN THE PAST WHEN I WAS CONTACTED ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL FOR A DIFFERENT CAR COMPANY, I WAS TOLD VIN DIDN'T MATTER, ONLY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL). I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA'S HANDLING OF THIS SITUATION AS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH AND I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR TO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 EMERGENCY BREAKS BUT HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HONDA DID TELL ME THAT IF ENOUGH PEOPLE REPORTED THE PROBLEM, THEY MIGHT EXTEND THE VIN RANGE FOR THE RECALL. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT HONDA KNOWS IT'S PROBLEMATIC IN MOST IF NOT ALL THE 2016 CIVICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AIR BAGS
TANAKA RECALL, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM HONDA ABOUT THE AIRBAGS! A RECENT ACCIDENT DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS AND THE CAR IS A LOSS OF TOTAL! DO I GET ANY RESTITUTION BEFORE THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED? THE CAR MADE A LEFT TURN WHEN THE OTHER MOTORIST HIT THE SIDE OF THE FRONT BUMPER AS MY CAR WAS GOING INTO MOTION ON A MAIN STREET

AIR BAGS
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP IN WHICH I REAR ENDED A LARGE PASSENGER VAN AT 35+ MPH WHILE THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE CAR SEEMS TO THINK THEY DID BECAUSE I HAVE AN AIRBAG NOTIFICATION TO "CHECK AIRBAG" THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A/C SYSTEM BECAME NON FUNCTIONAL AT 41,000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. BEEN READING ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM IN THE 2016 HONDA CIVIC. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HONDA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL OR THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS REGARDING THIS SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF. SINCE I OWE LESS ON THIS CAR THAN WHAT THE REPAIRS WILL COST, I'M PLANNING ON TRADING IT IN FOR A 2020 HATCHBACK VERSION AND HOPE THAT THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN CORRECTED WITH THE NEWER MODELS.

CAR BEGAN LEAKING ANTIFREEZE FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA ADMITS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AS WELL AS OTHERS BUT REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE APPEALED WITH AMERICAN HONDA TO NO AVAIL. THEY DO NOT CARE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUTSIDE OF ITS WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEY WILL ADMIT THAT THE ENGINE IS A DEFECT BY HONDA. CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME, HAS NO DAMAGES, AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO OCEAN HONDA OF BURLINGAME TO DISCUSS THAT THE CAR I PURCHASED WAS NEVER ACTUALLY COMPLETELY "PROPERLY CERTIFIED" AS WAS DISCUSSED; AND THE FACT THAT I BROUGHT IT IN NUMEROUS TIMES. - I HAVE HAD NO COOPERATION. PLEASE VERIFY WITH LISA MENDEZ WHO JUST VERIFIED TO SALES MGR VAN THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN PROBELEMATIC SINCE PURCHASE AND SHOULD BE TRADED OUT. I DO NOT FEEL AND HAVE NOT FELT I'M DRIVING A COMPLETELY SAFE OR DEPENDABLE CAR. MOST RECENT VISIT TO DISCUSS ISSUES WAS 09/06/19 AND I HAD BEEN THERE ALREADY 3 TIMES WITHIN THE PREVIOUS 2 WEEKS FOR CONTINUING ISSUES WITH LIGHTS COMING ON AFTER I HAD SERVICE AND AFTER I HAD ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING NEEDED . I WAS TOLD I WAS ALL GOOD !!... NOW JUST SPENT $460 TO FIND OUT THAT I NEED $1700 WORK AND THERE ARE RECALLS I WASN'T NOTIFIED ABOUT. THERE IS PREVIOUS DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT I FILED ON THIS CAR A LONG WHILE BACK. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM TO TAKE IT BACK SINCE I GOT IT DUE TO ONE THING OR ANOTHER. JUST DOESN'T FEEL STABLE OR SECURE. THEY SHOULD TAKE IT BACK AND DEAL WITH IT THEMSELVES. INITIAL COMPLAINT LOGGED WAS DUE TO A REPLACED SEAL OF SOME SORT THAT THEY BROKE AND REPLACED AGAIN, I WAS DRIVING AND IT STARTED MAKING A BURNING SMELL. THEY REPLACED AGAIN, BUT STILL SEEMS NOT RIGHT AND ENGINE HAZARD LIGHTS COME ON -- AND THEY CLEAR THEM AND TELL ME ITS OK.... DOES NOT FEEL OK, AND WAS NOT OK. I AM NOT WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN HOWEVER MY NUMEROUS VISITS AND PLEAS TO EXCHANGE AND TAKE BACK THE CAR HAVE GONE UPON DEAF EARS AND THEY (SALES) HAVE NOW BECOME RUDE. I FEEL LIKE DROPPING OFF THE CAR TO THEM AND GIVING THEM THE KEYS AND THEY CAN DEAL WITH IT HOWEVER I'M SO UPSET THAT I "MUST HAVE A CAR" SO I AM TRYING TO FIND A NEW CAR NOW AND HAVING NO LOCK SINCE MY CREDIT IS RUINED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AC COMPONENT ON MY HONDA CIVIC NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS AN ISSUE AS I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH AND SEEN THAT THERE ARE MANY WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MINE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING BAD AC QUALITY. MY AC WILL BE COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT HOT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I AM LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL SINCE HONDA HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS NOW ACKNOWLEDGED IT COULD BE FAILURE ON THEIR PART. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED WITH ONLY $35,000 MILES, IT WORKED FIND UNTIL IT HIT $38,000 AND THEN IT HAS STARTED TO GET HOT IN THE CAR.

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHTS LITERALLY GO ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING. I AM NOT SURE WHAT BRAND AIR BAGS ARE IN MY CAR, THEY COULD BE THE TAKATA RECALLED PART, BUT NOT SURE. WHENEVER I HAVE SOMETHING IN THE FRONT SEAT, OR A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON. THEY WILL COME ON AND GO OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE STREET, HIGHWAY, ANYTIME.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC ON 8/17/19 WHEN I NOTICED MY VEHICLE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASING AT A FAST RATE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE ANY COOLANT. THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, COOLANT WAS FILLED IN THE RADIATOR AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. HOWEVER, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT ONCE AGAIN. AFTER INSPECTION, MY CAR WAS OUT OF COOLANT AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO ED NAPLETON HONDA IN OAK LAWN ON 8/26/19 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND WAS CAUSING A LEAK OF THE COOLANT WHICH CAUSES OVERHEATING IN VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN HONDA CIVIC MODELS 2006-2009, I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA ISSUED TWO WARRANTY EXTENSIONS FOR UP TO 10 YEARS AND THAT MY CAR WAS TWO YEARS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. BECAUSE I'M THE ORIGINAL AND SOLE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WITH GREAT MAINTENANCE HISTORY, THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE MANAGER SUBMITTED A GOODWILL REQUEST TO HONDA CORPORATE ASKING FOR THE COST OF REPAIR TO BE COVERED. HOWEVER, THE REQUEST WAS DENIED BY THE REGIONAL HONDA DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER. I ESCALATED THE SITUATION TO HONDA CORPORATE AND FOUND OUT FROM A CUSTOMER SERVICE SPECIALIST THAT HONDA DID NOT SEND THE LETTER INFORMING ME OF THE DEFECT AND WARRANTY EXTENSION TO MY CORRECT ADDRESS. FURTHERMORE, IT WAS NOT AN ADDRESS THAT I HAD EVER PROVIDED TO HONDA. AFTER ESCALATING MY ISSUE TO THE REGIONAL CASE MANAGER, I WAS STILL REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE. THERE ARE OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT CRACKED ENGINE BLOCKS IN 06-09 HONDA CIVICS ON THE CAR COMPLAINTS WEBSITE ALONE. MANY OWNERS STATE THAT THEIR VEHICLES BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THIS QUESTIONS HONDA'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND ALL PARTS INVOLVED. I APPEAL TO NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ONGOING MATTER AND HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE BY ENFORCING A RECALL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
IN 2012 I PURCHASED A 2010 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SUN VISORS BREAKING. AT FIRST MY WARRANTY COVERED THE COST AND THEN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $150.00 EACH TIME I HAD TO REPLACE. THE ISSUE IS THE SAFETY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE IN THE SUN LIGHT OR THE EVENING, DUE TO THE BROKEN SUN VISORS DANGLING IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. ENCLOSED ARE PICTURES OF THE BROKEN SUN VISORS PASS AND PRESENT. I WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE ONCE AGAIN FOR MY SAFETY, DUE TO THE SHARP POINTY OBJECT BY MY HEAD WHERE THE SUN VISOR WAS ATTACHED TO. I DID CALL HONDA CORP AND REPORT THE ISSUE ONLY AGAIN AND THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THE POINT OBJECT BY MY HEAD. I TOOK MY HONDA TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SUN VISOR. BOTH THE SERVICE PERSON AND MECHANIC HAD TO CAREFUL PLACE THEMSELVES IN MY HONDA TO ENSURE THEY DID NOT POKE THE HEAD ON THE SHARP POINTY OBJECT.
