2006 Honda Civic

DRIVING NORTH THROUGH INTERSECTION ABOUT 35-40 MPH IN KINSTON NC YESTERDAY CLOUDY BUT DRY DAY. AN AUTOMOBILE WAS DIRECTLY IN PATH HEADING WEST. I SLAMMED ON BREAKS BUT STILL COLLIDED WITH THE SIDE OF A SMALL MINATA. POINT OF IMPACT WAS DEAD FRONT MIDDLE. I RECALLED THINKING TO MYSELF THAT IT WAS NOT THAT BAD OF AN IMPACT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. RIGHT AT THIS POINT I WAS COASTING TO A STOP WHEN THE AIRBAG DID DEPLOYED. A LOT OF GOOD THAT DID! I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHERS SAFETY THAT THE AIRBAG ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC DID NOT DEPLOY AND HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 45-50 MPH, THE FRONT MIDDLE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT, BUT SUSTAINED PAINS IN HIS RIGHT ARM. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FRONT BUMPER FELL OFF AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DESTROYED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 25,000.

2006 HONDA CIVIC REAR BROKE LOOSE. CONSUMER SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE DIVISION WALL. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT. THE REAR TIRES WERE WORN AND THERE WAS LIGHT SNOW ON THE GROUND WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONSUMER LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-0025-90. *JB

ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2007 I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ALONE IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX ON A DIRT ROAD. I WAS NOT SPEEDING AND I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I CHOSE A DIFFERENT ROUTE FROM MY NORMAL ROUTE AND MISSED THE S CURVE IN THE ROAD. MY CAR WENT TO THE DITCH ROUGHLY 3 FEET DEEP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, HITTING THE DRIVERS FRONT, ROLLING THE CAR ONE TIME, LANDING ON THE WHEELS AND I PUT THE BRAKES ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I THEN GOT OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SMASHED COMPLETELY DOWN NOT ALLOWING ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR OR THE WINDOW. I COULD NOT FIND MY CELL PHONE AND WENT AND LOOKED INTO THE FIELD AND FOUND WHERE MY CAR ROLLED AND FOUND THE PHONE WITH THE GLASS FROM MY WINDOW. I THEN CALLED 911 AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO SIDNEY, NE WHERE AFTER A CATSCAN THEY FOUND THAT I HAD A BROKEN NECK IN 2 PLACES C6 AND C7. THEY THEN TRANSFERRED ME BY AMBULANCE TO FORT COLLINS, COLORADO WHERE I HAD SURGERY TO FUSE THE BROKEN VERTEBRAE. I AM NOW OUT OF WORK AND OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR NOW UNTIL I AM HEALED. I CALLED HONDA WORRIED THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT THIS CAR WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RATING BECAUSE I WANTED MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE IN ANY EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA AFTER I CALLED THEM BACK 2 TIMES FINALLY TOLD ME THAT (CASE# N012007-11-2900916) HONDA DOES NOT DESIGN THEIR AIRBAGS TO GO OFF IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER. FUNNY HOW WHEN I DID MY RESEARCH 1 OUT OF 4 PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN A ROLLOVER. WHY WOULDN'T THAT BE A SAFETY CONCERN?? SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE IS NOTHING DONE TO FIX THE SITUATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS CLOSED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AFTER THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE DEALER STATED CODE F311 INDICATED LEFT SIDE DEPLOYMENT AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY BODY DAMAGE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY FOR THE FAILURE AND TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE REPAIR SHOP. THE INSURANCE COMPANY AGREED TO ASSIST HER WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21985 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25000. RK

I BOUGHT MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2005, PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR SHORTLY AFTERWARDS FOR INSTANCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD A MALFUNCTION AND RECALLED THE DEALER DIDN'T FIX IT THE FIRST TIME, VERY INCONVENIENT, BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT AS WELL BECAUSE COULD FALL OFF AND CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HONDA SERVICE TO GET PROBLEMS FIXED AND NUMEROUS TIMES, BEEN TOLD THAT ITS NORMAL OR SOME OTHER ?!@#$% THEY ALWAYS GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND,THE SERVICE PEOPLE ARE RUDE, MEAN AND INCOMPETENT AND IGNORANT. I HAVE TAKEN MY 06 CIVIC IN A TOTAL OF 8-10 TIMES NOW TO FIX PROBLEMS THEY NEVER FIX ANYTHING! INTERIOR TRIM IS POOR/POOR ALTERING FROM THE FACTORY, PANELS LOOSE AND POPPING OUT INTERIOR SCRATCHES TOO EASILY/FRAGILE CHEAPLY MADE ?!@#$% (STILL), FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WONT RETRACT ALL THE WAY BACK ANYMORE LIKE IT USED TO (NEW) WEATHER STRIPPING IS LIFTING UP BY FRONT WINDSHIELD (STILL) VARIOUS RATTLES FROM INTERIOR (STILL), UNDERCOATING/UNDER BODY SPRAY FROM FACTORY IS PEELING COMPLETELY OFF (NEW) DOOR PANEL FLEXES AND RPMS RISE WHEN USING WINDOWS/NOW SEEMS TO ROLL UP/DOWN SLOWER THAN BEFORE (STILL/NEW) KEEP IN MIND IM ONLY AT 11,000 MILES TOO! HONDA AND TOYOTAS QUALITY IS GOING DOWNHILL VERY FAST ESPECIALLY WITH THE CIVIC, CRV, RDX, MDX, CAMRY, TUNDRA, HIGHLANDER, LANDCRUISER, YARIS, AND RAV4. THE LAST YEAR BEFORE THE REDESIGN OF THESE VEHICLES THE QUALITY WAS GREAT, NOW IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA ARE EITHER TEAMING UP TOGETHER OR COMPETING TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE THE CHEAPEST AND ?!@#$% VEHICLE WITH CHEAPLY MADE MATERIALS AND TAKING SHORTCUTS, CHANGED A SUPPLIERS OR SOMETHING, THESE PROBLEMS ARE UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. AFTER MOVING ABOUT 1.5 FEET, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BREAKING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE SEQUENCE REPEATED ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF BOTH SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS. FINALLY, AFTER ABOUT A 2 MINUTE PAUSE, THE AIRBAG CONTAINED IN THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER SEAT DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG CONTAINED WITHIN THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR
