POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND 1 OUT OF EVERY 5 TIMES I SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR IT GRINDS AND DOES NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. IN 4000 MILES IT HAS ALSO FALLEN OUT OF GEAR TWICE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SLOW AND I WILL BE DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING AS IT IS QUITE UNEXPECTED ON A CAR WITH 10,000 MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THIS WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE CLUTCH WEAR CAUSED BY "DRIVING THE CAR TOO HARD". I DRIVE ABOUT 50 MILES A WEEK IN DC METRO AREA TRAFFIC SO THIS IS HARDLY THE CASE. MOST OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AND TRANSMISSION ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HONDA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REMEDY IT. IT IS WIDELY COVERED ON MOST 2006+ HONDA CIVIC WEB FORUMS AND RECENTLY HAS RECEIVED SOME NEWS COVERAGE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=9EK_-3TFD2E. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THIS PROBLEM RELATES TO THE 06-08 CIVIC SI'S, I HAVE AN SI) S2000'S, RSX'S ACCORDS AND ANY CARS WITH A HONDA 6 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS IN REGARDS TO GRINDING AND POPPING OUT OF GEARS, ALONG WITH A GENERAL "NOTCHY" FEEL. THIS PRIMARILY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, HOWEVER IT STILL DOES HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY WARMED UP. *TR

SUSPENSION
TIRE VIBRATION STARTED AT 5,000 MILES. DEALER ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRES AND SAID YOU ARE ALL SET. DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY NOTICED VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. NEXT VISIT TOOK SERVICE FOR A RIDE AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE BAD REAR WHEEL BEARING THAT THEY DID NOT STOCK. LEFT THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND WHEN I CAME PICK THE CAR UP THEY SAID WE CHANGED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING? I SAID I WAS TOLD THEY WERE CHANGING THE REARS? THEY SAID NOPE THE RIGHT FRONT WAS THE PROBLEM. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE. CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF ANYONE ACTUALLY TEST DROVE THE CAR AFTER REPAIR. MECHANIC SAID THE CAR WAS FINE? BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN AND TOOK THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR A RIDE HE SAID YES IT SOUNDS LIKE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. LEFT THE CAR AGAIN FOR TWO DAYS AND WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THEY SAID THEY CHANGED THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND A RECALL THAT CAME IN FOR THE REAR ABS SENSOR AND SEALS. DRIVING HOME SAME VIBRATION. ALSO A RATTLE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE DASH AREA WAS NEVER FIXED IN FOUR TRIES. I NOW HAVE 34,000 MILES AND THE TIRES ARE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND THIS WOULD SUGGEST THAT THEIR IS A SEVERE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2007 CIVIC LX. DEALER HAS NO CLUE. PLEASE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON TIRE WEAR AND IF YOU ARE THINKING HONDA THINK AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2007 HONDA CIVIC SI (5,000 MILES ON CAR). THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR OR WILL POP OUT OF 3RD. THIS CREATES A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AVOID AN ONCOMING CAR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL HAVE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE VERY SAME THING ON THIS MODEL CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2007 HONDA CIVIC SI, COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS 3RD GEAR ENGAGEMENT. AT TIMES ITS ENGAGEMENT MAY VARY FROM BEING TIGHT TO GRINDING AND MAY EVEN DISENGAGE OR (POP OUT OF GEAR). THIS MAY LEAD TO A MOMENTARY LAPSE IN CONCENTRATION AND AT TIMES A SOMEWHAT LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLES DRIVEABILITY WHEN THIS OCCURS ABRUPTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. IF THIS EVENT OCCURS AT AN INAPPROPRIATE TIME WHEN DRIVING, IT IS MY OPINION THAT IT MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD TO ACCIDENT'S CAUSING INJURY. *CN

TIRES, SUSPENSION
JAN. 14, 2008, WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC, I NOTICE AT 55MPH THE CIVIC VIBRATE AND MAKE AN UNUSUAL NOISE. I TOOK MY CIVIC INTO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ON JAN. 16, 2008 FOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT VIBRATION AT 55MPH AND CLICKING WHEN TRYING TO START MY CIVIC. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND ON THE CLICKING, WHEN I ARRIVED I HAD THE SERVICE WRITER TO COME OUT AND LISTEN TO THE CLICKING, THE SERVICE WRITER AGREED THERE WAS CLICKING. THE OTHER ISSUE OF VIBRATION WHEN AT 55MPH I WAS ADVISED HONDA WILL CONTACT ME ONCE A REPAIR IS AVAILABLE ON THE SERVICE CUSTOMER COPY FORM. ALSO, THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THERE HAD BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE HONDA WOULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS CAUSING MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVEN AND I WAS GOING TO GET NEW TIRES. *TR

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX 4-DOOR SEDAN ON MAY 6, 2007. I DRIVE ABOUT 120 HIGHWAY MILES EACH DAY AND IN NOVEMBER 2007, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THE CAR WAS "IN-SPEC" AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES SOONER. I DOCUMENT EVERY DROP OF FUEL THAT I PUT IN MY CAR. I WRITE DOWN WHEN I CHANGE THE OIL, WHEN I GET IT WASHED AND WHERE. NOTHING DOES UNDOCUMENTED, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN I ROTATED THE TIRES. THAT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSISTED THAT I GET THE VEHICLE ALIGNED AND BUY NEW TIRES FROM THEM. I REFUSED AND TOOK MY VEHICLE SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH TWIN CITY HONDA IN NEDERLAND TEXAS AND WITH HONDA FOR NOT ADDRESSING THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION ON THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC. *TR

THE "BRAKE SYSTEM" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE CAR DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED. THE CAR WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE REPAIR WAS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH, A KNOWN RECALL ON HONDA CIVICS FROM THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 60MPH, THE FRONT END WAS SHAKING. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ROTATED THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER TIRES TO THE REAR AND STATED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM FAILED AND CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE TIRES. THE DEALER AGREED WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPLACED THE REAR TIRES AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY DONT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE REAR CONTROL ARMS; HOWEVER, THEY WOULD NOTIFY HIM OF THE AVAILABILITY. THE DEALER ALSO FAILED TO REPLACE THE FRONT TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,845 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I OWN A STANDARD TRANSMISSION 2007 CIVIC SI. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 1ST GEAR AND STARTED MOVING. I THEN TRIED TO SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR INTO 2ND AT APPROXIMATELY 3500 RPM. I HAD THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED BUT COULD NOT PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 2ND GEAR. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO NEUTRAL AND TRIED AGAIN TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. SECOND GEAR FINALLY ENGAGED BUT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THIS SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER. I WAS FOCUSED ON TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND COULD NOT FOCUS ON THE ROAD. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG.*CN

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS, STRUCTURE:BODY
I BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE LAST FEBUARY( HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS UNTIL TONIGHT CAR IS LEAKING RIGHT THERE AT THE SEAMS OF THE REAR AIR BAGS AND ROOF MEET, THE RIGHT SIDE, WATER RUNNING DOWN THE SIDES ONTO THE SEAT, DISCOVERED THE OTHER SIDE WAS LEAKING AT THE SAME PLACE BUT NOT AS BAD . FEEL A COOL BREEZE FROM BOTH SIDES. LEFT SIDE IN THE FRONT WHERE PLASTIC AND FABRIC MEET AT THE TOP WAS LEAKING AS WELL,THE INTERIOR IS SOAKED THROUGH. OBVIOUSLY THERES A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAL OR SOMETHING BUT I AM ABSOLUTITLY FURIOUS ABOUT THIS SITUATION,I DID NOT SPEND $25,000 ETC. IN CASH,FOR MY DAMM CAR TO LEAK A RIVER,THATS SOMETHING I WOULD EXPECT FROM MY 35 YEAR OLD HOUSE,NOT MY UNDER A YEAR OLD CAR. AND A SIMPLE CLEANING FROM A DETAILER IS NOT GONNA FIX MY PROBLEM. I AM SO PISSED I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPRESS IT. I JUST WANT TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED EVEN IF THAT RESULTS IN GETTING A NEW CAR AND STARTING OVER AGAIN,CAUSE THE WAY I SEE IT IS THAT MY CAR IS DAMAGED GOODS, YES YOU CAN FIX THE PROBLEM (MAYBE) BUT THERES ALREADY WATER DAMAGE AND WHO'S KNOWS HOW FAR THE WATER HAS GONE OR WHAT IT HAS LEAKED INTO AND IF IT IS TO BE FIXED WHO DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I DON'T EXACTLY HAVE A LOT OF MONEY, BY BUYING THIS CAR IT IS A HUGE PART OF ME THAT HAS TO LAST AND IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN I WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAVE THIS CHANCE TO OWN A NEW CAR AGAIN AND I'M NOT GONNA LET THIS SLIP BY LIKE ITS NOTHING. I DIDN'T KNOW WHO EXACTALY IS IN CHARGE OR WHO TO GO TO SO IF CHANCE BE YOU CAN'T HELP ME I'M SURE YOU CAN DIRECT ME TO SOMEONE WHO CAN CORRECT IT. FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME. PLEASE CONTACT ME A.S.A.P BEFORE I HAVE A SMALL POND, RIVER OR LAKE IN MY CAR(AND AT THAT TIME THE DAMAGE WILL ALREADY HAVE BEEN DONE). *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE NOTICED THIRD GEAR POPPING. THOUGHT BEING NEW CAR COULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. IT IS NOW 6 MONTHS LATER. CALLED SERVICE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. QUESTIONED WARRANTY AND EXPLAINED ISSUES WITH CAR, SUCH AS CLUTCH SLIPPING, SEEMS SYNC ROLLS ARE GOING. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS DRIVER. CALLED AMERICA HONDA CORP. THEY ADMIT TRANSMISSION FIX WILL BE COMING OUT IN 2008, BUT ONLY CERTAIN VIN#'S ARE COVERED. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS SINCE IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVEN IN OTHER YEAR AND MAKES WITH SAME ISSUES! THESE SAME COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER INTERNET!COST HAS BEEN ESTIMATED AT $1200! EVEN WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE PURCHASED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2001 HONDA CIVIC WITH 65,000 MILES HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT/REPAIR ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS; EACH TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS BEFORE ENGAGING FULLY IN DRIVE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LEAP FORWARD WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, CREATING A DANGEROUS CONDITION. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAS REPAIRED OR REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES, STATING THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ON CERTAIN MODELS OF HONDA FOR 2001. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RECURRED AT 65,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER IS FULLY AWARE OF THE DEFECT WHICH REPEATEDLY MANIFESTS ITSELF OVER THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS FULLY AWARE THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT. HOW LONG WILL NHTSA ALLOW THE MANUFACTURER TO IGNORE A SERIOUS DEFECT AND LET A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION CONTINUE? JUDGING FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE, THE PROBLEM IS FOUND ON A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF 2001 HONDAS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, EVEN WHEN REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDE A REDESIGNED TRANSMISSION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OTHERWISE THESE VEHICLES WILL BECOME MORE DANGEROUS AS THEY AGE. *TR
