TPMS INDICATOR IS ALWAYS ON. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER TO GET SERVICE BUT THEY HAVE SAID IT'S AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH CANNOT BE FIXED. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE IF A REAL PROBLEM OCCURS NOT KNOWING WHEN TIRES NEED ADJUSTMENT.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE SPOKEN TO HONDA AND THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PASSENGER AIRBAG PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE BACKORDER IS SO LARGE THAT THEY AREN'T EVEN ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE ORDER ITSELF AT THIS TIME. THEIR SOLUTION IS TO HAVE NOBODY RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR WITH ONLY ONE CAR, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE PUTTING US IN DANGER AND REFUSING TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY BY TRYING TO PASS US OFF TO THE DEALERSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED CONFLICTING MESSAGES FROM NHTSA AND HONDA. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA, THERE IS A SERIOUS RECALL FOR MY CIVIC, PART IS AVAILABLE FOR FIXING AND VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL FIXED. I CALLED HONDA, AND THEY SAY OKAY TO DRIVE EXCEPT NO PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT AND PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. FINALLY, HONDA HAS NEVER EVEN CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I CALLED THEM WHEN I READ YOUR ARTICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ABOUT THIS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN SURFACE STREETS, I HIT A BUMP AND MY ALREADY SAGGING FLIP VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND ALMOST COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO GRAB AND FLIP IT BACK UP, THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME HAD SLOWED SIGNIFICANTLY. I REALIZE THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE, HOWEVER MY VIN IS ~800 ABOVE THE HIGHEST VIN INCLUDED. HONDA IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THIS BECAUSE THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS VIN-SPECIFIC. I WOULDN'T ORDINARILY BOTHER WITH THIS BUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHIPPING OFF THROUGHOUT VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE CAR'S BODY, DOWN TO THE UNDERCOAT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW, AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, OR BEEN REPAINTED FOR ANY REASONS. THE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO. THE NATURE OF THE ISSUE IS DOES NOT PERTAIN TO ANY OF THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE NOTE SECTION OF THIS VEHICLE INFORMATION FORM. I APPROACHED HONDA REGARDING THE ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT CONSIDERED UNDER THE COMPANY'S RECALL POLICY. HONDA VEHICLES ARE WELL KNOWN FOR PROBLEMS REGARDING PAINT, AND HONDA AND SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS ARE FULLY AWARE OF SUCH PROBLEMS. I AM LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US CONSUMERS PRESERVE OUR RIGHTS AND GET THE PROTECTION WE NEED AGAINST CORPORATIONS, SUCH AS HONDA, THAT PROFIT FROM US AND DON'T ADEQUATELY STAND BY US BY HONORING THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY HONDA CIVIC WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BY A FORD RANGER PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON A CITY STREET IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA AND THE TRUCK WAS HEADING SOUTHBOUND AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS THE LANE THAT I WAS OCCUPYING WHEN I WAS HIT. THE DRIVER AIRBAG IN THE TRUCK DEPLOYED, BUT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG IN MY CIVIC DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS INJURED BY BROKEN GLASS AND IMPACT OF MY LEFT ARM & SHOULDER AGAINST THE DRIVER DOOR. THE IMPACT FOR WAS SUFFICIENT TO BEND BOTH THE A-PILLAR AND B-PILLAR INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG IN MY CIVIC WAS DEFECTIVE. NOTE THAT A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE, AND WAS TOWED TO A CAR STORAGE YARD AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE.

SUSPENSION
THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT, AND UPON INVESTIGATION I REALIZE THAT THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN CAUSING SIGNIFICANT TIRE WEAR ON MY CAR OVER THE YEARS AS WELL AS SHAKING AND LOUD BUZZING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DIFFICULTY LOADING AND UNLOADING THE CAR DUE TO THE REAR BUMPER COMING WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE GROUND BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER BEING SUPPORTED BY THE CONTROL ARM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

ENGINE
HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE BATTERY ISSUES WITH THE 2009 CIVIC HYBRID BATTERIES AND HAS ISSUED A REPLACEMENT ORDER FOR THEM. THEY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SOME OF THE BATTERY ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY THE BATTERY CONTROL MODULE BUT REFUSE TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE COVERED REPAIR. IN THIS CASE, THE BATTERY IS OVERHEATING. THIS IS THE SECOND BATTERY IN A CAR THAT IS JUST OVER 5 YEARS OLD.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE LIGHT ONLY OUT TO FIFTY OR SIXTY FEET. THIS REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ALMOST CONTINUALLY. THE LACK OF NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM.
