I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID WHICH IS EXPERIENCING IMA SYSTEM PROBLEMS. ACCORDING TO HONDA, EVERYTHING IS FINE, BUT THE BATTERY WON'T HOLD MUCH CHARGE. IN ADDITION, HONDA INSTALLED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER THAT CHANGES THE WAY THE ENGINE IS MANAGED, USING THE IMA SYSTEM LESS AND NOT ALLOWING THE BATTERY CHARGE TO GO BELOW 1/2 CHARGE. AS A RESULT, THE IMA SYSTEM WILL ONLY WORK (RANDOMLY) ABOUT HALF THE TIME THE CAR IS RUNNING. SO ENGINE POWER WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AT CRUCIAL TIMES, I.E. ACCELERATING, PULLING OUT AT AN INTERSECTION, ETC. THIS MAKES THE CAR UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE. THERE ARE MANY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM (AS WITNESSED THROUGH ONLINE FORUMS) AND HAVE RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE FROM HONDA, 'EVERYTHING IS OPERATING NORMALLY'. WELL, IT'S NOT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN FEB 2009. I EXPERIENCED TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES AT THAT TIME, BUT ATTRIBUTED IT TO GETTING USED TO A SMALLER/LIGHTER CAR. THIS IS MY SECOND WINTER NOW, AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ON SNOW-COVERED ROADS. WHENEVER THE ROAD SURFACE CHANGES FROM BLACKTOP TO SNOWCOVERED, MY FRONT TIRES SLIP AND I FEEL OUT-OF-CONTROL. I PUT FOUR NEW SNOW TIRES ON LAST SEASON, SO THE TIRES ARE NOT AT FAULT. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE AT THIS POINT? IS IT A FACTORY DEFECT OR IS IT CORRECTABLE? *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID (30,000 MILES) HAS LOUD RATTLE NOISE GOING OVER BUMPS. NOISE WAS DIAGNOSED AS ENGINE MOUNT CAVITATION BY HONDA ENGINEER. DEALER TRIED REPAIR RECOMMENDED BY HONDA ENGINEER CONSISTING OF PLACING O-RINGS BETWEEN ENGINE AND MOUNT. THIS ELIMINATED THE NOISE. 1000 MILES LATER THE RIGHT ENGINE MOUNT BROKE AND ENGINE DROPPED IN FRAME. DEALER REPLACED RIGHT ENGINE MOUNT PER TSB BUT NOISE STILL EXISTS AND NOW HONDA IS STATING THAT THE NOISE IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO REPAIR. THE NOISE WAS NOT PRESENT IN THE FIRST TWENTY THOUSAND MILES OF DRIVING. THE NOISE IS NOW A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN OF ANOTHER IMMINENT ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE. IF THIS OCCURS AT HIGH SPEED AND ENGINE AGAIN DROPS IN FRAME, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE LOST. *TR

I EXPERIENCED AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM ON 2 OCCASION WHICH PROMPTED ME TO GO ONLINE. HERE I DISCOVERED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HONDA CIVIC 2 DOOR MODELS. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY WASN'T I CONTACTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL/NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH CARS LIKE MINE. BOTH INCIDENTS OF LUNGING/JERKING AND BEING HARD TO STOP THE CAR HAPPENED (1ST TIME: EARLY JULY/ 2ND TIME LATE JULY). I TOLD MY DAD THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER IN A CONVERSATION AND HE SAID TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THE TOYOTA ACCELERATION TYPE PROBLEM.
THE SUN VISOR ON MY PASSENGER SIDE CRACKED AND JUST HANGS. IT WILL NOT FOLD IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. IT IS DANGLING AND BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HONDA DOES NOT THINK THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, YET THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCE MORE THAN 1 VISOR SPLITTING ON THEM. *TR

BOUGHT CAR IN MAY 2006, BY AUG 2006 I WAS ONLY GETTING 36 MILES PER GALLON. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER. THEY SAID THEY REPLACED A PART TO FIX PROBLEM. PROBLEM NOT FIXED! BROUGHT CAR BACK 3 MORE TIMES AND DEALER SAID I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WRONG. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A WEEK, THEY DID BUT STILL COULD NOT GET THE MILEAGE OVER 37 MPG. THEY TOLD US THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. WENT THROUGH 3 BACK TIRES ON DRIVERS SIDE. THEY STILL WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! I HAD TO PAY FOR IT! THE CAR WAS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. FINALLY WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THEY FOUND THAT SOMETHING WAS BROKEN BY THE BACK TIRE (WHICH IS WHY I HAD TO KEEP REPLACING THEM) AND I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. ALL OF THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2010. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT'S WHY I NEVER GOT THE MILEAGE I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET. THAT WAS WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO GET THE SOFTWARE UPDATE!! NOW MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE! THE BATTERY DOESN'T CHARGE, THE CAR CANT ACCELERATE! THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THE FOREMAN TOLD HONDA AMERICA THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AND HONDA AMERICA DOESN'T CARE! I FILED A CLAIM AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I JUST NEED TO GET USED TO DRIVING IT DIFFERENTLY! WHEN I PRESSED THEM AND TOLD THEM MY CAR IS NOW UNDRIVABLE, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOTHING ELSE TO SAY TO ME! HONDA REALLY MESSED THIS ONE UP! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED DRIVING THESE CARS....AND THEY KNOW IT! MY CAR WAS A LEMON SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT! PAID $5,000.00 EXTRA FOR IT , NEVER GOT THE MPG, AND NOW I CANT DRIVE IT! *TR
THE VISORS IN THE CAR HAVE A METAL ROTATING PIECE IN BETWEEN TWO PLASTIC PIECES THAT CAUSE THE VISOR TO SNAP AFTER MINIMAL USE. MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR IS NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN, AS HAS HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND'S EXACT SAME CAR TOO. *TR
