STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE A 2007 BLUE CIVIC SI SEDAN. THE PAINT/CLEARCOAT HAS BEGUN TO OXIDIZE. CLEAR COAT IS FLAKING OFF ALL OVER THE FRONT FENDERS, HOOD, ROOF OF CAR, A PILLARS, C PILLARS, SPOILER AND TRUNK. THE SIDE OF THE CAR HAVE BEEN OK SO FAR. MY CAR JUST MISSED THE RECALL NOTICE BY A FEW MONTHS BUT HAS BECOME WORSE EVERY DAY. I WAX MY CAR 2-3 TIMES A YEAR AND PARK IN A GARAGE AT HOME AND WORK. SO THE SUN HAS MINIMAL CHANCE OF RUINING THE PAINT. BUT THE CLEAR COAT AND PAINT ARE STILL COMING OFF THE CAR ALL OVER. IT LOOK HORRIBLE AND NOW I AM IN NEED OF A NEW PAINT JOB. HONDA STATES THERE WAITING FOR A NEW RECALL TO COME OUT AND COVER THIS BUT IN TELL THEN I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUE AS ITS A GREAT CAR BUT NOW LOOKS LIKE CRAP AND TAKES EVEN MORE WORK TO PREVENT RUST. THE PAINT ISSUES BEGAN A YEAR AFTER MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED. I DID PURCHASE THIS CAR NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER.

ENGINE
ON NOVEMBER 4, 2013, I WAS DRIVING THRU AT A MCDONALD'S WHEN MY ENGINE STEAMED OVER, SPILLING ANTIFREEZE. I TOWED IT TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE AS I WAS AT LEAST 100 MILES FROM HOME. HE APPLIED A COOLANT PRESSURE TESTER TO THE RADIATOR AND FOUND A LEAK COMING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED BY HIM. I FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA UNDER THE RECALL TO GET MY MONEY BACK. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY THE CLAIM, EVEN THOUGH RECALL 10-048 FROM HONDA OFFERS TO REPAY CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR EXPENSE BY WARRANTY UP TO 8 YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE. AT THE TIME THE CAR WAS 7 YEARS, 1 MONTH OLD. I CLAIMED THIS TO HONDA IN AUGUST 2015, WAS DENIED IN SEPTEMBER, 2015, REASON GIVEN WAS THAT MY BROTHER IS NOT QUALIFIED AS A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE, BUT A COOLANT LEAK IS EASY TO FIND WITH A PRESSURE TESTER AND MY BROTHER HAS WORKED ON ENGINES FOR YEARS. I AM OUT $1700 FROM THIS REPAIR.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC START OXIDIZING AND PEELING AWAY 2 YEARS AGO. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST A SMALL SPOT AT THE BACK OF THE ROOF AND NOW IT IS MANIFESTING TO ALL OVER THE ROOF. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR 2007 CIVICS FOR PAINT PEELING AND I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. I FEEL AS HONDA IS MOST ASSUREDLY BEING DECEITFUL WITH THEIR CUSTOMERBASE AND CERTAINLY NOT TAKING CARE OF THEM AS THEY SHOULD. I FELT SAFE AND CONFIDENT PURCHASING A HONDA JUST KNOWING THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND KNEW I WOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES IN THE END. SILLY ME.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MY 2007 CIVIC EX, THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR POPPED OPEN AT THE PARTING LINE NEAR THE HINGE AND THE PLASTIC RIBS INSIDE BROKE. IT DOES NOT WANT TO SNAP BACK INTO PLACE IN ANY DIRECTION (FRONT, BACK, OR SIDE). IT HANGS SO LOW THAT IT IS BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD (FRONT WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW) AT ALL TIMES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA THAT IT IS NOT LISTED AS A SAFETY CONCERN...BECAUSE IT IS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN 2011 HONDA SETTLED A CLASS ACTION SUIT INVOLVING DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS. MY CAR HAD BOTH VISORS REPLACED IN, I BELIEVE, 2012. BOTH ARE CRACKED JUST AS THE ORIGINALS WERE. THE DANGER IS IN THE DRIVER SIDE DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR. IT CAN FLOP DOWN UNPREDICTABLY AND AND DISTRACT THE DRIVER. IF IT FLOPS DOWN HALFWAY, ITS EDGE IS AIMED AT MY FOREHEAD AND INJURE ME. THE ONLY INEXPENSIVE AND QUICK REPAIR IS A BINDER CLIP ATTACHED TO THE BROKEN PARTS TO HOLD THEM TOGETHER.

AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI COUPE AT APPROXIMATELY 10-20MPH. WITHOUT WARNING MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED (2 AIRBAGS IN TOTAL). THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS LOUD, SHOCKED ME, AND FILLED MY CAR WITH SMOKE. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I WAS HIT; HOWEVER NO CARS WERE ON MY PASSENGER SIDE OR ABLE TO HIT ME. I PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY CAR (OTHER THAN THE INSIDE WHERE THE AIRBAGS NOW DEPLOYED). MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT. THERE WAS NO SORT OF IMPACT AND ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION/REASON THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING ON MY PASSENGER SIDE, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IF THE DRIVER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND/OR POSSIBLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND VERY CONCERNING MALFUNCTION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LOT WORSE.

WHEELS, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE REAR AXLE HAS BEEN MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AT SPEEDS OF (50-55 MPH). TIRES ARE VERY BADLY CUPPED IN THE REAR, DESPITE BEING RELATIVELY NEW. CUPPED TIRES CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING. THE CAR SEEMS UNSTABLE ON TIGHT TURNS, AS WELL AS HIGH SPEEDS. TIRE CUPPING HAPPENED DESPITE HAVING NEW TIRES AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE WHEN THEY WERE PUT IN. THIS IS A PROBLEM OF EVERY HONDA CIVIC 06-08 OWNER I HAVE ENCOUNTERED, AND THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIDENCE ON ONLINE FORUMS TO CONFIRM THIS INFORMATION. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE REAR CAMBER ARMS OF THE CIVIC 07, AS THEY CAUSE DANGEROUS PREMATURE TIRE WEAR THAT MAY CAUSE, OR IN THE LEAST CONTRIBUTE TO, INJURY OR DEATH.
