POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BADLY, AND THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHEN IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. ALSO, WHEN COLD, AND IN LOWER GEARS, IT IS VERY HESITANT AND CHOPPY. I BELIEVE IT'S THE THROTTLE. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN I'VE STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND IT'S TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD. HONDA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. THEY TREAT ME AS IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE NEVER BECAME WARM. THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING HIGH. THE VEHICLE MADE A BUMPING NOISE. THE CONTACT HAD TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO DECELERATE. THE HONDA DEALER PLACED THE VEHICLE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND DETERMINED THE HIGH IDLING FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE ANOTHER VEHICLE OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND THAT VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE IDLE SPEED WAS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER WHICH DID NOT HAVE A SENSOR. THIS WAS THE REASON WHY THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 615, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23.*AK UPDATED 05/21/07. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A/C STOPPED COOLING. TOOK MY '07 CIVIC (FEWER THAN 6500 MILES) TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD A ROCK DAMAGED MY CONDENSER. REPAIRS ARE ESTIMATED AT $550. GOT THE BEST WARRANTY I COULD WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT STILL WON'T COVER IT DUE TO "PHYSICAL DAMAGE". AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC, I'VE NOTICED COUNTLESS WEBSITES AND BLOGS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE A TEXTBOOK DESIGN FLAW TO ME. I CAN'T BELIEVE HONDA, WHO "STANDS FOR QUALITY" WOULD LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I'M GOING WITH THE CAMRY NEXT TIME. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TL*-THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX WAS REGISTERING THE WRONG MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH ODOMETER. THEY INFORMED HER THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING ON, BUT HER VEHICLE DIDN'T APPLY. THE LAWSUIT WAS FOR CONSUMERS WITH ODOMETER PROBLEMS. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE PART OF THE LAW SUIT. SHE STATED THAT THE ODOMETER READING IN THE VEHICLE WAS 750 MILES WHICH WAS NOT ACCURATE. *AK UPDATE 04/17/07 *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE HONDA CIVIC SI MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAN BE VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVEN COLD. WHEN SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR THERE IS FEELING THAT THE GEAR ISN'T ALL THE WAY IN. WHEN THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED THE GEAR WILL POP OUT. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO COMMON IN OTHER HONDA VEHICLE'S SUCH AS THE RSX. THIS PROBLEM INCREASES THE CHANCES OF BEING REAR ENDED AND ALSO PUTS TREMENDOUS WEAR ON THE TRANSMISSION AS THE GEAR POPS AND GRINDS. HONDA SERVICE TELLS ME THAT ITS IS MY DRIVING THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM BUT OVER A THOUSAND THREADS HAS BEEN POSTED ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT CALL US POOR DRIVERS. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER COIL RECEIVED DAMAGE APPARENTLY CAUSED BT A PEBBLE THAT WAS KICKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST HONDA OWNERS FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, PARTICULARLY WITH LATE-MODEL HONDAS. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO PROTECTION AGAINST SUCH AN EVENT AND THIS PART APPEARS MUCH TOO FRAGILE TO BE EXPOSED AS IT IS. THE CONDENSER MUST BE REPLACED AND I'M WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER WHETHER HE'LL COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT I'M EXPECTING TO HAVE TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. *NM

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
I BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI ON DECEMBER 18, 2006. IN LESS THAN 700 MILES THE CLUTCH BURNED OUT. HONDA AMERICA AGREED TO PAY FOR THE LABOR TO REPAIR IT, BUT WANTED ME TO PAY FOR THE PARTS. ( ABOUT $300) THEY ALSO AGREED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR FOUR DAYS WHILE MY CAR WAS BEING REPAIRED. I SEE NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS, SINCE I CONSIDER THE PROBLEM TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. THE CAR HAS A SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A STANDARD, AND I'M CONVINCED THAT I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. *NM
