TIRES, SUSPENSION
EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON REAR OF 06 AND 07 HONDA CIVICS DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THE TIRES AND REAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY. TIRES ARE RENDERED UNSAFE AND MUST BE REPLACED ALONG WITH UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND FLANGE BOLTS. TIRES ARE FROM GOODYEAR, BRIDGESTONE, AND DUNLOP. NUMEROUS POSTS ARE ON THE INTERNET, INCLUDING ACCIDENTS WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE. HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL ONLY PERFORM SERVICE ON A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN THE PAST YOU DID A RECALL FOR THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID REGARDING A BATTERY CONNECTOR WHICH YOU STATE MAY CAUSE THE MOTOR TO FAIL AND CAUSE A CRASH. AT THE MOMENT I AM UPLOADING A VIDEO TO YOU TUBE UNDER USER 10P6 REGARDING A PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES NOT ONLY THE IMA MOTOR TO FAIL, BUT THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING, BRAKES, ABS STEERING, AND EVEN THE AIRBAGS. EVEN THEN IT CAN CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO FAIL AND VEHICLE TO ROLL WHEN IN PARK. I HAVE PROVIDED HONDA (CORPORATE AND SOUTH TACOMA HONDA) WITH VIDEOS IN THE PAST BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING STATING THE VEHICLE IS FINE. IT IS NOT! IT IS DEADLY! PLEASE INVESTIGATE URGENTLY. I AM POSTING THIS ON THE NET SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THE DANGERS WHICH HONDA HIDES; SOON I WILL TELL THEM THE ONE SIMPLE PROBLEM WHICH MAY KILL THEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE 3RD GEAR CORRECTLY AND CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO GRIND AND POP INTO NEUTRAL WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE IN 3RD GEAR. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A WRECK. HONDA DENIES THE PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL PETITIONS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS THE WORST WHEN IT IS COLD OUT AND THE CAR IS COLD. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE CAR GOT TO ABOUT 5,000 MILES. *TR
