ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE A/C RELAY SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE ACTUAL AC SWITCH ON THE COMPRESSOR DUE TO IT BOGGING MY ENGINE DOWN EVERY TIME I TURN IT ON AND IT STILL WON'T BLOW COLD AIR. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUED ISSUE AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF POST ONLINE ABOUT IT. SO WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED OR SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT.

WHEN THE WARMER WEATHER STARTED, I NOTICED MY AIR CONDITIONING WAS ONLY GIVING OUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT ASSESS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE CAR FOR THAT YEAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIRS ON MAY 20, 2019 WHERE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW CONDENSER DUE TO A LEAK. THEY COULD NOT SAY WHAT CAUSED THE LEAK, BUT THE HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STAYED THAT DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE THAT YEAR, SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A ROCK COULD HAVE EASILY PUNCTURED THE CONDENSER. THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN REPAIRS WAS $907 ON A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO STATED THAT SINCE THIS IS SUCH A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE, I COULD NOT FILE A CLAIM THROUGH MY COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM COMES ON. TIRE PRESSURE IS EXACTLY 34/35 PSI AS DOOR PANEL ADVISES. RESET THE TPMS SYSTEM TO FIX THE WARNING. ALSO, AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES, THE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE KEEP, & COLLISON MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILED. HAD TO STOP CAR, TURN IT OFF, AND RESTART TO GET WARNINGS TO DISAPPEAR.

ENGINE BLOCK CRACK! I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE AND MY ENGINE BLOCK HAS JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A LOCAL HONDA DEALER SINCE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A RADIATOR LEAK TURNED INTO MY WORST NIGHTMARE. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE BLOCK HAD A CRACK IN IT THUS NOT BEING ABLE TO RETAIN RADIATOR FLUID. HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ROUGHLY $4500US FOR THE REPAIR OF MY ENGINE. MY LOCAL DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS AN UNPUBLISHED RECALL ON THESE ENGINES BUT THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.. I HAD NO IDEA THEIR WAS AN UNPUBLISHED RECALL ON 2006 TO 2011 HONDA VEHICLES. WELL APPARENTLY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 3 YEARS. MY DISPUTE IS THAT HONDA FAILED TO LET IT'S CUSTOMERS KNOW THAT THEY INDEED FOUND ISSUES WITH THESE (06-11) ENGINES. I WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA TO HAVE THESE ENGINE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE 106000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I ONLY DROVE ROUGHLY 7 TO 8 THOUSAND MILE PER YEAR. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE ENGINES FAIL AT ABOUT 90000 TO 110000 MILES. WHERE WAS MY RECALL LETTER. EVEN AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE OR REPAIR AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER THEY FAILED TO ADVISE ME OF THIS ISSUE (RECALL). PLEASE HELP ANYONE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
KEYFOB RANGE REDUCED DRASTICALLY USED TO BE ABLE TO REMOTE START MY CAR FROM OVER 200FT. NOW I CAN'T EVEN DO IT OVER 30FT. EVEN ONE OF THE SALE MEN SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO START HIS OWN CIVIC FROM OVER A 100FT. THE SERVICE MANAGE TOLD ME THE LAST TIME I CAME IN TO CHECK IF THERE WAS ANY NEW (BECAUSE THEY NEVER CALL OR RETURNED MY CALL) SAID THAT CORPORATE HONDA DIDN'T HAVE A FIX AND THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HE THEN GAVE ME A BUNCH OF RIDICULOUS REASONS (SO MUCH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT IT CAN DRAIN THE BATTERY EVEN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THAT THE CAR IS PROTECTING ITSELF FROM DRAINING COMPLETELY BY "SHUTTING DOWN SOME SYSTEM" WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. OTHER EXCUSES THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT MY WINDOWS WERE TINTED (THEY ARE CERAMIC TINTED WHICH DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH SIGNAL LOSS) IT COULD BE MY DASHCAM, OR MY SUBWOOFER. I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED IT IF IT HAPPENED AFTER I JUST HAD THEM INSTALLED. BUT I HAD EVERYTHING INSTALLED 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR WHICH WAS OVER A YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM JUST SHOWED UP A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT NOT JUST HONDA BUT CAR DEALERSHIPS WILL DO ALL THEY CAN TO NOT FIX YOUR CAR. I EVEN SENT CORPORATE HONDA A MESSAGE AND ALL THEY SAID WAS GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP... SERIOUSLY? YOU'D THINK THEY'D TRAIN TECHS TO BE ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I AM NOT GOING TO DRIVE 45MIN (CLOSEST LOCATION) TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING. AFTER I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IS THE RECEIVER IN THE CAR COULD BE THE PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME A LABOR FEE TO DO THAT. WAS A HONDA FAMILY BUT WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER HONDA IN THE FUTURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL FIRE WITHIN THE DRIVER DOOR. A FIRE STARTED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AND OFF AT MALL IN TOLEDO, OHIO. WEATHER HAD BEEN RAINY. CAME OUT TO VEHICLE AND THE INSIDE WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. AFTER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TOWING AGENCY MANAGED TO GET THE PASSENGER DOOR OPEN TO GET INSIDE, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE DRIVE DOOR HAD BEEN ON FIRE AND MELTED. THE FIRE HAD ALSO DESTROYED THE HEADLINER, DRIVE SEAT AND LEFT THE SMOKE DAMAGED INTERIOR COVERED IN SOOT. THERE WAS ALSO A HOLE IN THE DRIVER FLOOR, REVEALING POSSIBLE FRAME DAMAGE. HONDA SAYS THAT THEY ARE INVESTIGATING TO SEE WHICH COMPONENT CAUSED THE FIRE. DURING A PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE IN FEBRUARY, I HAD MENTIONED TO THE MECHANICS THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN BEEPING RAPIDLY WHILE IT WAS OFF AND THE KEY FOB WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO DO THIS IF THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD, BUT IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS WARM OUTSIDE, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME WENT ON. THIS CONCERN WAS BRUSHED OFF BY BROWN HONDA, WHO ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE HONDA WAS INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. HONDA CORPORATE SAID THAT THE BEEPING SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF THE CAR IS OFF. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON HONDA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE AC CONDENSER CAUSING THE NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT, AS WELL AS THE SENSOR. THE CORPORATE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE EVEN ADMITTED ON THE PHONE THAT THEIR DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE CONDENSERS ON THE CIVIC MODELS, INCLUDING UNITS DELIVERED FROM THE FACTOR THAT HAD ALREADY FAILED. A SIMPLE SEARCH OF CREDITED AUTOMOTIVE REVIEW SITES SHOWN MANY EXAMPLES FOR THIS MODEL YEAR, WHERE THE AC UNITS HAVE FAILED. AS THE CORPORATE OFFICE HAS FAILED TO ISSUES A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, I ASK THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS AND PROTECT THE CONSUMER. THANK YOU.

CHECK POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR DISPLAYS ON DASH, WOULD GO AWAY AND COME BACK, STEERING LOSS DURING DRIVING. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED $130 TO DIAGNOSE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO FAULTY SOFTWARE.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL CIVIC SHOULD RECEIVE THE SOFTWARE UPDATED AS A PART OF A RECALL AND NOT MAKE THE OWNER PAY TO FIX BUGGY SOFTWARE.
