ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED IN MY 07 CIVIC HYBRID IN AUGUST 2010. SINCE THE UPDATE THE CAR HAS NO ELECTRIC ASSIST WHEN THE BATTERY IS HALF FULL OR LESS. MY BATTERY IS IN THIS STATE AT LEAST HALF OF THE TIME AND HONDA TELLS ME THAT IT IS NORMAL AND THAT THE LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING IS THE RESULT OF THE UPDATE. THIS HAS MADE THE CAR FEEL VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED THE LAST WEEK IN AUGUST PULLING ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY CAR HAD NO PICKUP AS A RESULT OF THIS UPDATE. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FAILED. THE POOR DESIGN OF THE VISORS IS THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE AMOUNT OF FORCE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE SUN VISOR UP OR DOWN EVENTUALLY "UNWELDS" THE PLASTIC FRONT FROM THE PLASTIC BACK. THE RESULT IS THE VISOR IS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAGS
I AM CURRENTLY STATIONED IN THE US AIR FORCE HERE IN GERMANY. WHILE TRAVELING DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM HERE IN GERMANY, OUR 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYDROPLANED AND SLID OFF THE ROAD. IT ROLLED SIDEWAYS AT LEAST TWICE AND IMPACTED A MILE MARKER SIGN ON THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND LANDED UPRIGHT AFTER HITTING ITS ROOF TWICE. THE REAR WINDSHIELD AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED, THE FRONT BUMPER WAS RIPPED OFF AND THE REAR BUMPER WAS CRUSHED IN. THE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED WHEN MY HEAD IMPACTED IT DURING THE ROLL OVER. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS (DRIVER, PASSENGER, OR SIDE CURTAIN) DEPLOYED. WE RECEIVED INJURIES TO OUR ARMS, LEGS, AND HEADS/FACES. MY WIFE DID RECEIVE 4 STITCHES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER FACE JUST BEHIND HER EYE. ALSO SHE RECEIVED A LACERATION ON HER LEFT EAR WHICH REQUIRED SURGERY. SHE ALSO RECEIVED A MINOR CUT ON HER RIGHT POINTER FINGER WHICH REQUIRED SURGICAL GLUE TO SEAL IT. " *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH MERGING ON THE INTERSTATE HE ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. HE ALSO APPLIED EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT IT FELT LIKE THE ACCELERATION DID NOT INCREASE. THE RPMS INCREASED; HOWEVER, THE HYBRID SYSTEM WAS OF NO ASSISTANCE. BEFORE HE MERGED ONTO THE INTERSTATE HE OBSERVED THE BATTERY PACK HAD FIVE BARS. WHEN HE FELT THE ACCELERATION STOP, THE POWER GAUGE DROPPED FROM 5 BARS TO 1 BAR RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER HAS PERFORMED TWO SOFTWARE UPDATES ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED 6 TIMES SINCE THE LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AND HAVE REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,610.

DRIVER SIDE FACTORY INSTALLED (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT) VISOR OF 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX SPLIT APART AND NO LONGER REMAINS IN THE FIXED UPRIGHT (FLUSH WITH CEILING) POSITION, BUT RATHER HANGS DOWN IN VIEWS WAY.

RESEARCH EASILY FOUND MANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS FOR THIS SAME DEFECT. HONDA IS NOT CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT CORRECTING THE DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE SUN VISOR IN MY HONDA KEEPS FALLING APART AND SOMETIMES IT FALLS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I SEE ONLINE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF HONDA OWNERS. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? THIS IS THE SECOND VISOR THAT WENT BAD. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. *TR

SUN VISOR ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC FAILS AGAIN IN THE HEAT. HAVE PURCHASED REPLACEMENT VISOR JUST TO HAVE THEM FAIL AGAIN IN A FEW MONTHS. WHEN THEY FAIL AT THE HINGES, IT CAUSES THE VISOR TO HANG DOWN IN THE LINE OF SITE, IF YOU REMOVE IT, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROTECT FROM THE SUN SHINING IN YOUR EYES. HONDA IS VERY AWARE OF THIS AS THERE ARE 1,000'S OF POSTING AND THE DEALERS ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS AN ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A RECALL AND A VISOR DESIGN THAT WORKS VERSES JUST DOING NOTHING...IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! *TR

THE HONDA 07 CIVIC SUN VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND MUST BE RECALLED! THE HEAT CAUSES THE VISORS TO CRACK AND BECOME SUSPENDED IN THE DOWN POSITION. AFTER IT CRACKS IT WILL NOT LOCK IN THE UP POSITION. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ADMITS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I MUST PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED NOW THAT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED! THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE REPLACED BOTH VISORS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. AFTER ABOUT ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE CAR STARTED EXHIBITING TROUBLING CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE POWER MANAGEMENT AND AVAILABLE POWER. THE CAR RELIES ON A GAS ENGINE AND ELECTRIC ASSIST TO PROVIDE FULL POWER IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS. DURING THE SUMMER WHEN TEPERATURES RISE, THE CAR STARTS TO HAVE DIFFICULTY PROVIDING POWER FROM THE ELECTRIC MOTOR DUE TO THE BATTERY CRASHING TO 0. ONCE THE BATTERY "RECALIBRATES" THE CAR PROVIDES VERY LITTLE POWER USING ONLY THE GAS ENGINE. THIS BATTERY CRASH HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS AND MEANS IN THE REAL WORLD THAT WHEN I AM PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC I MAY HAVE VERY LITTLE POWER TO GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED AND RISK GETTING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TO SAY THE CAR BECOMES "SLUGGISH" IS AN OVERSTATEMENT. HONDA HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THAT THE AR HAS A MATERIAL DEFECT THAT PREVENTS THE BATTERIES FROM OPERATING AS INTENDED IN REAL WORLD SITUATIONS. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS IN OPERATION THE BATTERY WILL CRASH EACH TIME YOU DRIVE THE CAR. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND HONDA IS DOING NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE COMPLAINTS. *TR

HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2007 HAS WORSE MPG (28MPG ON AVERAGE) THAN ITS NON-HYBRID TWIN OR OTHER COMPARABLE MODELS, AFTER THE NEW SOFTWARE FOR INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST WAS INSTALLED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WAS MARKED WITH 45MPG AVERAGE. MY BATTERY SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN DAMAGED AS IT DOES NOT HOLD CHARGE. *TR

AT ISSUE IS DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FOR 2007 HONDA, PER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP, THERE IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING THAT LEAD TO A SEPARATION OF THE VISOR ON THE SEAM SO THAT THE VISOR DOES NOT GO UP AND STAY UP CAUSING ISSUES WITH VISIBILITY. WHILE DRIVING, SEAM SEPARATED FURTHER WHILE TRYING TO HOLD UP THE VISOR TO SEE A ROAD SIGN WHICH LED TO THE VISOR HANGING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OFF OF THE HINGE AND TOSS IT ON THE SEAT AVERTING AN ACCIDENT. PER SERVICE DESK PERSONNEL, NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE PART HAS BEEN MADE BY HONDA TO DATE. AS PER REVIEW OF BLOGS ON THE INTERNET, SOME OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THE VISORS MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR
