POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY TRANSMISSION BLEW ON MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC. IT ONLY HAS 80K MILES. I WENT TO STEP ON THE GAS WHEN IT STAYED AT 0 MPH, WHILE THE RPMS WENT UP. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I ALMOST GOT HIT BY 2 CARS. I READ ON A FORUM TO MAKE A COMPLAINT TO THIS WEBSITE. MY WARRANTY RAN OUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND I STILL HAVE A YEAR AND A HALF TO PAY ON THE CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT SO I CONTACTED AMERICA HONDA FOR SOME GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP LIKE THEY REQUESTED, AND I AM AWAITING TO HEAR BACK. *TR

SUSPENSION, TIRES
MY 2008 HONDA CIVICS LX, HAD MY FIRST TIRE ROTATION COMPLETED BY MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL 4 TIRES WERE CUPPED. I HAVE NOT OWNED THE CAR A YEAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR 05-31-08. I HAVE LESS THAN 11,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. THE CAR NOW VIBRATES AND ROARS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THE 2006-7 CIVICS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION WHICH CAUSED THE CUPPING DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF ROTATION. THEY HAVE SERVICED THE CAR SINCE OWNED AND NEVER SAID THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES. TWO WEEKS AFTER MY LAST SERVICE ALL TIRES ARE DAMAGED AND THE CAR SHAKES WHEN DRIVING. IT IS VERY LOUD AND FEELS UNSTABLE ON THE GROUND. THE DEALER HAS YET TO TAKE ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS CASE. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
I'M AN OWNER OF A HONDA CIVIC EX '06, WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2006. AFTER GETTING A FLAT TIRE (REAR RIGHT SIDE), MY CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO ANOTHER DEALER (NOT HONDA) AND HAD ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED. THE CAR HAD 39K MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO HONDA TO BE INSPECTED FOR UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT MODEL/YEAR OF CAR AND THERE WAS EVEN A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. AFTER THE INSPECTION, HONDA STATED THAT YES INDEED, THE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR WAS DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND THAT IT MUST BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HONDA WOULDN'T PAY FOR IT AT THE TIME SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. I JUST WANT TO WRITE THIS NOTIFICATION BECAUSE THEY SHOULD NOT BE SELLING CARS THAT HAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD (ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SNOW). *TR

VISIBILITY
THE SUNVISOR ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC FLOPPED DOWN IN MY FACE UNEXPECTEDLY BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS SUNVISOR HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT HONDA STILL HAS NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE PEOPLE HAVING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBILITY BEING KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE HONDA WILL ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES OUTSIDE, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATES CONSTANTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THEY ROTATED THE TIRES AND CHECKED THE PRESSURE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE COULD HAVE THE TIRES CHANGED FROM AIR TO NITROGEN TO SEE IF IT WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

SUSPENSION:REAR, TIRES
I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, WHICH IS EXHIBITING EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN REAR TIRE WEAR. THE TIRES WERE INITIALLY REPLACED IN FEB. 2008, AND AGAIN IN JUNE 2008 (ALONG WITH THE REAR CONTROL ARMS). NOW, IN FEBRUARY 2009, THE REAR TIRES ARE WORN OUT AGAIN ON THE INSIDE, WITH CUPPING AND SCALLOPING OF THE TREAD. THESE TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 20,000 MILES SINCE NEW, AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CIVIC, AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED OR FIXED BY HONDA. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE HAS UNDER 8000 MILES AND IS EXPERIENCING A NOTICEABLE DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS CORRECTED. THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT HAS NOW SURFACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL MUST BE HELD TO THE LEFT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR EVENT THAT WOULD HAVE DAMAGED ANY COMPONENTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

THE HONDA MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE UPPER ARM CONTROL FOR FREE IF THE CONTACT PAYS FOR NEW TIRES. WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATES VIOLENTLY.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID IN AUGUST 2008. IN JAN-FEB 2009, MY A/C STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER THAT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRIS/ ROCK. I DO NOT RECALL RUNNING INTO ANY ROAD DEBRIS. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND $900 TO FIX. MY A/C HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET SINCE I'M WANTING TO SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT
2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. ORIGINAL OWNER CAR HAS 52 K. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED A NEAR DEATH ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE ENGINE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED BY ITSELF AS I EXITED A SLIGHT UPHILL DRIVEWAY. AS I APPROACHED THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY I STOPPED BEFORE TURNING ONTO THE ROAD, I HEARD A THUD OR CLUNK AND THEN THE CAR LURCHED AND SPED RAPIDLY INTO THE ROAD WHICH WAS WET FROM RAIN. THE CAR SKIDDED AND FISHTAILED L TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THEY WERE UNRESPONSIVE. I TRIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH DID NOT RESPOND EITHER. THE CAR DID A 360 TURN AND HAD GONE ALMOST 200 YARDS FROM WHERE IT EXITED THE DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I COULD SMELL SMOKE. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN UNDER 30 SECONDS. BY SOME MERCIFUL FORCE, THE CAR HIT THE MUD EMBANKMENT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WERE ON THE ROAD. I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AND I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF, I RAN ACROSS THE ROAD BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE IF THE CAR WOULD BLOW UP OR KEEP GOING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I RAN OVER AGAIN AND COULD TURN IT OFF BUT THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS DID NOT WORK . THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE OAKLAND, CA HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY PERFORMED A BASIC DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TOLD ME THE CAR IS OK TO DRIVE AND NOTHING IS VISIBLY WRONG WITH IT EXCEPT FOR THE DENT ON THE FRONT BUMPER. THEY HAVE CLOSED THE CASE. IN THE PAST THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES FOR A RECALL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) BECAUSE IT JUDDERS AFTER COMING TO A STOP. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HONDA HAS ADEQUATELY RESEARCHED MY CASE. A CAR SHOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS MINE DID AND I BELIEVE THAT THE FACT THIS MODEL HAS ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTS A MORE THAN CURSORY EVALUATION. HONDA IS RISKING THE SAFETY OF HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES SAFETY BY NOT TRYING TO DETERMINE WHY MY VEHICLE SPED OUT OF CONTROL BY ITSELF. I PLAN TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER IN THANKS THAT I AM ALIVE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN 2008 WITH 61000 MILES ON IT. AT 81000 MILES THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS CRACKED. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND A SERVICE BULLETIN AT HONDA RECOGNIZING THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA AND AM NOW BEING TOLD IT IS MY PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT HELP TO REPAIR IT. THE COST IS OVER 4000.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND THE ENGINE PERFORMS AS IF IT WILL SHUT OFF. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACES THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE REVS. WHEN HE PLACES THE GEAR BACK INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL EITHER CONTINUE TO HESITATE OR DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURS BETWEEN 30-45 SECONDS AND ONCE EVERY TWO TO THREE MONTHS. A MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY !998 HONDA CIVIC EX STALLED ON FREEWAY WHILE GOING AT 50MPH. IT WAS DUE TO FAILURE OF IGNITION SWITCH. HONDA HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN VAN MODELS ONLY AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST. MY SAFETY IS AT STAKE HERE SO ARE OTHERS WHO DRIVES A HONDA. ALTHOUGH I HAVE 162,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE SWITCH AS FAR AS I KNOW IS NOT AN ITEM CALLED OUT FOR REPLACEMENT AS PART OF THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. SO HOW WOULD I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE IF IT IS NOT AN ITEM THAT IS A REQUIRED ATTENTION WHEN VEHICLE IS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND LIFE ENDANGERING PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED. *TR

2008 HONDA CIVIC, REAR END MAKING HORRIBLE SOUND. REALIZE AFTER LOOKING ONLINE THAT HONDA HAS ISSUES WITH REAR ARM CONTROLS. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, THEY STATED THAT MY CAR HAS THE "C" STAMP UPDATED REAR ARM CONTROLS. REAR TIRES SEVERELY CUPPED. THEY RECOMMEND 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND PURCHASE OF TWO NEW TIRES. EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO BE SAME PROBLEM THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ARM CONTROLS AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIR REPLACEMENT. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR, SUSPENSION:FRONT
AT 55K MILES, WE HAVE JUST INSTALLED OUR THIRD FULL SET OF TIRES ON 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE ORIGINAL TIRES LASTED APPROX 35K. WE HEARD LOUD GROWLING FROM REAR TIRES, INITIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THEN PROGRESSIVELY LOWER SPEEDS. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY VEHICLE VIBRATION WHICH SEEMED TO INCREASE EXPONENTIALLY W/INCREASED SPEED. DISCOVERED ONLINE ABOUT ISSUES W/CIVIC'S REAR CONTROL ARMS. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER, WHO ADVISED THE TIRES WERE UNEVENLY WORN. IN FACT THERE WERE COMPLETELY BALD SPOTS, WHILE APPROPRIATE TREAD REMAINED ELSEWHERE ON EACH TIRE. DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE CONTROL ARMS ONLY AFTER WE REPLACED THE TIRES.. WE BORE ENTIRE COST OF REPLACEMENT TIRES. AFTER SIX MONTHS AND 20K MILES, INCLUDING ONE TIRE ROTATION, THE NOISE AND VIBRATION RETURNED, THIS TIME ON FRONT END. COULD THIS BE BECAUSE THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WORE UNEVENLY WHILE INITIALLY ON BACK? TOOK CAR BACK TO HONDA DEALER, WHO SAID "TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY; THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED." NO ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ANY ISSUES W/CIVIC MODEL. TIRE DEALER PRO-RATED REPLACEMENT TIRES [STILL A BUNCH OF $$$], SAID THEY'D NEVER HAD THAT "BETTER" [70K] MODEL OF TIRE WEAR SO UNEVENLY. [CUPPING/FEATHERING] IT SEEMS HONDA'S "FIX" WASN'T REALLY. I AM GENUINELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY; WE WILL LIKELY SELL THE CAR ASAP. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT SOME CIVIC OWNER OUT THERE WILL BE UNABLE TO AFFORD REPLACEMENT TIRES AND JUST CONTINUE TO DRIVE ON WORTHLESS RUBBER. SINCE HONDA WILL NOT CONCEDE THE PROBLEM, THEY REFUSE TO ABSORB THE COST OF TIRES. NOR DOES HONDA SEEM PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN ASTOUNDED BY THE TOTAL LACK OF CONCERN AT HONDA. WHEN, BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN, THERE IS A RESULTING CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE, I HOPE ITS NOT AT 75MPH ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. *TR

I AM WRITING TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE I HAD RECENTLY WITH MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. 1.ON NOVEMBER 26, 2008, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED NEW TIRES SOON. I THEN MENTIONED TO HIM THAT THE TIRES WERE VERY LOUD AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE MAKING EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE. HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT MY COMMENT. 2.ON DECEMBER 21, 2008, I NOTICED THAT THE TIRES ON THE CIVIC WERE WORN DOWN VERY UNEVENLY AND ONE OF THEM WAS BUCKLING. I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE WITH THOSE TIRES ANY LONGER DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES AND PROCEEDED TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES THE FOLLOWING DAY, DECEMBER 22, 2008. 3.AFTER THE TIRE PURCHASE AND REVIEWING HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 08-001 (DATED APRIL 11, 2008), I DECIDED TO RETURN TO MY HONDA DEALER AS I BECAME CONCERNED THAT THIS WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF A LARGER PROBLEM. AS IT TURNS OUT, I WAS RIGHT. 4.THE SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY CAR. AS THE CAR WAS AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE WORK WAS COVERED AT NO COST TO ME. HOWEVER, I PAID FOR 4 NEW TIRES AND I THINK AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC SHOULD COVER THIS COST. IN ADDITION, THIS IS A REVISED SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FEBRUARY 8, 2008 AND NO ONE EVER INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. CLEARLY THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THIS CAR. THIS CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND THE ORIGINAL TIRES SHOULD HAVE LASTED WELL OVER 30,000 MILES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR WHO ASSISTED ME ON DECEMBER 22, 2008 INSISTED THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE NOR DID IT WARRANT A RECALL ON THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC. AS A PROACTIVE CONSUMER, IT WAS MY GOOD FORTUNE TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SERVICE BULLETIN, AND POINT OUT THAT THESE 'SYMPTOMS' WERE OCCURRING WITH MY CAR. IF I HAD NOT HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM REPAIRED AT THE DEALER, THE DEFECT WOULD HAVE RUINED MY BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES. BY THAT TIME, THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER BE UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE INCURRED THE COST TO FIX IT WHEN HONDA WAS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID CVT TRANSMISSION. AFTER PUTTING IN A ONGOING CHRONIC COMPLAINT TO THE MANUFACTURE HONDA ASSIGNED ME A CASE MANAGER WHO DECIDED TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE. IT WAS THEN FINE FOR 7500 MILES AND NOW HAS STARTED OVER THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OF SHUDDER AND SLIPPAGE AS BEFORE. THE DEALER IS TRYING TO SAY IT IS AN EGR VALVE AND PUTTING ME THROUGH THE PROCESS OF RUNNING OUT OF THE WARRANTY AGAIN AS THEY EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES AND I NOW HAVE 97,250. AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THIS TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AND SLIPPAGE IS A SAFETY ISSUE (CHECK YOUR PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS) AND I AM A PUBLIC SAFETY ADVOCATE AND PUBLIC SAFETY PROFESSIONAL. *TR
