WHEN ACCELERATING, SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR IS NEVER RELIABLE. WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD, IT GRINDS AND THEN POPS OUT. THIS LEADS ME TO OVER REV THE ENGINE. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM NOR IS THEIR A RECALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY TRANSMISSION SHOVES THE SHIFTER OUT OF GEAR AFTER SHIFTING INTO 3RD. MY TRANSMISSION ALSO GRINDS EXCESSIVELY GOING INTO SECOND AT HIGH RPM'S CAUSING BUCKING. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT POP OUT OF 3RD TRAVELING UP HILL, THIS CAUSING MY CAR TO SLOW WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS IN TRAFFIC (BECAUSE I AM NOT APPLYING BRAKES), WHILE I TRY TO GET IT INTO THIRD. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 2007 CIVIC HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2006. THE WIPERS STREAK SO BADLY THAT I CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD SAFELY. UPON TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH OTHER VEHICLES, BUT THAT THE NEW WIPERS ARE ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY HAVE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS ON THE WINDSHIELD TO ATTEMPT TO "ERASE" WHATEVER PROBLEMS ARE CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE USED A "CLAY" THAT IS USED IN BODY SHOPS TO "SCRUB" DOWN THE WINDOW. THIS WORKS MOMENTARILY. THERE IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAT HONDA IS NOT YET ADDRESSING. THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS THE ELEMENTS WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I REFUSE TO AGREE WITH THIS AS THIS IS MY 5TH NEW VEHICLE, AND THE OTHER 4 HAD WIPERS THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR OVER 2 YEARS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I AM SEVERELY ANNOYED THAT I'VE HAD TO KEEP RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM STILL GETTING NO REAL SOLUTION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI. I HAVE HEARD A POPPING TYPE SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR OR ON THE DRIVETRAIN. I HEAR IT WHEN GOING INTO OR OUT OF DRIVEWAYS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. ALSO I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIRD GEARIN MY TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO GRAB THIRD GEAR. I HAD TO HAVE MY CLUTCH REPLACED AT 4K MILES. I WAS TOLD IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN MY "HARD SHIFTING". I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THIS INCIDENT TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, AND THEY SAY THEY CANT MAKE MY CAR DO THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE IT. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED THAT HONDA WILL NOT STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD THEY WANT TO BLAME IT ON MY "POOR DRIVING". *TR

WHEELS:RIM
HAD A FLAT TIRE TWO TIMES WHEN OUR CAR TOUCHED THE CURB. THE CAR WAS TRAVELING BELOW 10 MPH WHEN THE TIRE TOUCHED THE CURB. BOTH THE TIMES THE EDGE OF ALLOY WHEELS OF MY HONDA CIVIC CUT THROUGH THE TIRE EXACTLY AT THE POINT OF THE PRESSURE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. WE ALSO HAVE A HONDA ACCORD AND THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BUT NEVER HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE WHEELS ARE STOCK WHEELS AND EDGES OF THE WHEELS ARE NOT CURVED OUT AS MOST OF THE VEHICLES HAVE THEM. SINCE THE EDGES ARE NOT CURVED OUT THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR ALONG WITH THE UNCURVED EDGES CAUSES THE TIRE TO BE CUT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MANY TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLDER, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL POP OUT OF THIRD GEAR/GRIND/OR WILL NOT EVEN ENGAGE IN THIRD. THIS IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR WHEN TURNING A CORNER BECAUSE IT CAUSES A QUICK DECELERATION AND THE PERSON BEHIND YOU CAN'T ANTICIPATE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO BRAKING INVOLVED. NOT TO MENTION, AFTER THIS OCCURS, THE ENGINE REVS DUE TO THE MISSED GEAR, AND YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY SHIFT INTO SECOND OR FOURTH GEAR TO GET GOING ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS A HIGH RATE PROBLEM AND CAN BE PROVEN WITH A SIMPLE WWW SEARCH- IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND EVEN HAS BEEN REPORTED BY EDMUNDS.COM. SOME PEOPLE SAY THEIR DEALER IS REPLACING THE TRANS FLUID AS A FIX AND IT HELPS, OTHERS ARE DOING IT AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE BECAUSE THEIR DEALER REFUSES TO ASSIST. MY DEALER WON'T ADMIT TO THE ISSUE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID IS GIVING OFF UNSAFE LEVELS OF EMF'S. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL 3X AND HAVE HAD TO TAKE NAPS AFTER 1/2 HR OF DRIVING. MY B/P HAS BEEN OUT OF CONTROL SINCE USING THE CAR ALOT. MY DOG GOES INTO PRE-SEIZURE AFTER 5 MIN IN CAR. I HAVE TO GET RIDES WHEN I TAKE HER TO THE DR.HONDA WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. MY DEALER REFUSES TO DOCUMENT. THE FIELD ENGINEER WILL NOTO LOOK AT THE CAR WITHOUT DOCUMENTS. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE WITH FATIGUE ALSO ONLY THE PRIUS. THINK OF ALL THE HYBRIDS OUT THERE WITH PEOPLE GETTING TIRED AND POSSIBLY FALLING ASLEEP. THESE CARS CAN BE SHIELDED FROM THESE VERY HIGH LEVELS OF EMF'S. THERE REALLY IS NO INCIDENT DATE BECAUSE THIS IS ONGOING. *TR

SUSPENSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE TILTED INWARD AS IF THE ALIGNMENT WAS INCORRECT. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT WITHOUT HIS AUTHORIZATION AND WITHOUT HAVING A ZONE REPRESENTATIVE INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,382 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,780.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC LX. AT 62,000 THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE SRS CONTROL UNIT THAT CONTROLS THE AIR BAGS. I ASKED IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID NO. I SAID THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME IT ONLY COVERED THE SEATBELT BUCKLES. I TOLD THEM I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID NO, AND IT WOULD BE $800 FOR THE PART ALONE, NO LABOR, PAYABLE UP FRONT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, WHO SENT IT IN TO BE REBUILT. THE UNIT WAS SO FAR GONE, THAT IT COULDN'T EVEN BE REBUILT. I WAS WITHOUT MY AIRBAGS FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS WHILE ALL OF THIS WAS GOING ON. THE PLACE OF BUSINESS THAT REBUILT THE CONTROL UNIT STATED THEY HAVE HAD MANY HONDA CIVIC SRS CONTROL UNITS SENT IN. I THINK THIS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, ON AUGUST 17,2007 AS I WAS ENTERING A PARKING SPACE THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND I HIT A SMALL TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED IN THE FRONT SPOT. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK BUT MY CAR SUSTAINED OVER $7000.00 IN DAMAGES. I WAS JUST GLAD THERE WERE NO PEOPLE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE TRUCK, SINCE THEY COULD HAVE SUSTAINED FATAL INJURIES. I WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY INJURED BUT I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THE DEALER DENIED ANY PROBLEMS. *JB
