EXTERIOR PAINT IS FLAKING OFF AND IS DOWN PAST ITS CLEAR COAT. THE MOST CONCENTRATED AREA THIS IS OCCURRING/HAS OCCURRED IS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK LID IN ADDITION TO THE OUTSIDE ROOF OF THE CAR. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS ONLY OCCURRING IN CERTAIN COLORS OR WITH CERTAIN PAINT HONDA USED BUT, FIJI BLUE PEARL IS THE COLOR OF MY CIVIC AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE AROUND 2011 AND NOW RUST IN BEGINNING TO APPEAR IN AREAS. PLEASE ADVISE.

I CHECKED THE SITE USING MY VIN NUMBER AND IT KEEPS SAYING RECALL INCOMPLETE. I CALLED THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE CAR TO SEE ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS AND THEY NEVER GOT BACK TO ME. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT INCOMPLETE RECALL MEANS. ANOTHER SITE SAID MY CAR HAS 2 RECALLS, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION ON THIS. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO NEXT TO MAKE SURE MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE?

TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER 11/14/2014 FOR AIRBAG RECALL. THEY ONLY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. "INSPECTED DRIVER AIRBAG. FOUND IS AUTOLIV. AIRBAG IS OKAY". WHY WOULD THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG NOT NEED REPLACING?? THIS BOTHERS ME GREATLY. DO YOU HAVE A SIMPLE ANSWER? (NOTE: DATE ABOVE ON ITEM 2 IS INCORRECT - COULD NOT FIX)

THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON. THE CAR IS DUE FOR AN INSPECTION AND I HAVE BEEN QUOTED IT COULD COST UP TO $400 TO CORRECT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THE INTERNET LISTS NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR WAS SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. IT NEEDED THE CVT CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY OWNERS OF 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAVE REPORTED AND HONDA REFUSES TO RECALL THE PART. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BUILDING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND HONDA WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

WHEELS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FROM EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS ON 5 MAY 2013, PAYING $4600 UP FRONT AND THE FINAL $200 LESS THAN A MONTH LATER. THE CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS (STARTING PROBLEMS, BATTERY REPLACED TWICE, WRONG WHEEL SIZE WHEN BOUGHT, BROKEN WHEEL STUD, SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN HARD TO FIND AND FINALLY THE CARS WHEEL ROLLED OFF THE CAR WHEN I WAS LEAVING ARREST AREA) SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THERE HASN'T BEEN A STRAIGHT MONTH WHERE THE CAR HAS BEEN RELIABLE I RAN INTO PROBLEMS THIS WEEK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE CAR INSURED. EVERY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT I APPLIED TO WILL NOT INSURE MY CAR BECAUSE OF A SALVAGE/REBUILT TITLE OF WHICH I WAS PREVIOUSLY UNAWARE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE TITLE, THOUGH I HAVE ASKED EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS FOR IT SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER BECOMING FRUSTRATED WITH EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS, I MADE AN ATTEMPT AT GETTING THE CAR'S TITLE MYSELF FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DRIVER SERVICES. WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT MY CAR?S TITLE I DISCOVERED THE TITLE WAS BEING HELD BY THE DDS BECAUSE EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS HAD REPORTED THE WRONG ODOMETER READING. THE FORMER READING BEING 159,XXX FROM THE PREVIOUS TITLE HOLDER AND 148, 074 WHEN SOLD TO ME. (MAYBE A FRAUDULENT ROLL BACK?) THIS IS ALSO HOW I DISCOVERED THE CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SALVAGED, WHICH WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. SO, WHEN I FINALLY GET MY TITLE, THE TITLE WILL BE SALVAGE/REBUILT. *TR

SUSPENSION
I WISH NHTSA HAD THE AUTHORITY TO ORDER HONDA TO REPAIR FOR FREE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ARM AND CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ON MY CIVIC; THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BEFORE THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND HONDA CONSIDERS THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AS MAINTENANCE ITEMS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY; THEY ARE HARD RUBBER AND WEAR OUT AFTER A FEW YEARS--I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THIS CAR! I WILL TRY TO SEND PAPERWORK TO NHTSA IN SUPPORT OF MY COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA. I WAS ALSO STUCK WITH A $1400 REPAIR BILL AFTER THE GAS CAP LOCK STUCK AND WOULDN'T OPEN (AGAIN, AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED!), NEEDING AN EMERGENCY SERVICE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GAS UP THE CAR! AGAIN, NHTSA SHOULD FINE HONDA FOR EACH INCIDENT AND ORDER THEM TO REIMBURSE ME IN FULL FOR THESE UNCALLED-FOR REPAIR BILLS! MY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COSTS FOR THIS CIVIC ARE FAR MORE THAN THE BOOK VALUE FOR THIS CAR. *TR
