2007 Honda Civic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE BRAKING FROM SPEEDS OF 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE JOLTED BACKWARD AS IF SHE HAD SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THE CONTACT WAS ON A FLAT ROAD SURFACE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,793.

WHEN I AM TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65MPH MY ENTIRE CAR VIBRATES/SHUTTERS/SHIMMY/SHAKES. IT IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND SHIFTER, AND THE OVERALL RIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN I PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. IF I AM TRAVELING AT 72MPH AND I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS THE VIBRATION DOES NOT GO AWAY 100%, BUT IT'S GREATLY REDUCED. AT 32,000 MY TIRES WERE COMPLETELY BALD AND WORN. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA WHO WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED AT 30,000. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE HE COULD NOT FIX THE CAMBER WHICH WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND SO I BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND HAD THEM MOUNTED, ALIGNED AND BALANCED. RECENTLY AFTER HAVING A 50,000 MAJOR SERVICE PERFORMED ON MY CAR BY HONDA THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. HAD THE RIGHT AND LEFT INNER CV JOINTS REPLACED AND THE VIBRATION STILL PERSISTS. *TR

I GOT A NEW HONDA CIVIC EX 2007 SEDAN AND PERFORMING ALL THE REGULAR NEEDED MAINTENANCE AND WHEEL ROTATION. AFTER DRIVING 20,000 MILES, I FELT SHAKING AND VIBRATION OF THE CAR WITH LOTS OF NOISE COMING OUT OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER; THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED AND INFORMED ME THAT, THE WHEEL CUPS ARE UNEVENLY WORN DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE WHEEL CONTROL ARM AND IMPROPER WHEEL ALIGNMENT. DEALER SAID HE FIXED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE WHEEL CONTROL BUT MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE WILL CONTINUE TILL THE WHEELS WEAR EVENLY (APPROXIMATELY 2MONTHS). I DROVE AGAIN FOR FOUR MONTHS WITH THAT NOISE AND VIBRATIONS, I DIDN'T SEE ANY CHANGE AND IN FACT THE NOISE HAS BEEN INCREASED. I BROUGHT THE CAR AGAIN TO DEALER AND TECHNICIAN VERIFIED AND SAID, I NEED TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES IN ORDER TO GET RIDE OF THAT ISSUE. I FILED A COMPLIANT TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMING THAT, THE WHEELS HAS BEEN PREMATURE WEAR OF TIRES DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE WHEEL CONTROL ARM FROM THE MANUFACTURE. THEY TOOK WEEK TIME AND INFORMED ME THAT, THE TIRES WERE NOT COVERED MY HONDA WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ON THIS. I ARGUED WITH THE MANAGER WHO HANDLED THE CASE, THE LIFE OF THE TIRES WAS REDUCED TO HALF BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE PART FROM THE CAR,..NO USE.. *TR

BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CIVIC IN 2007. TOOK CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES, AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND THERE WAS A VIBRATING NOISE AND RUMBLE,. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE I GOT NEW TIRES IT NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT AND THE NOISE WOULD STOP. NOISE NEVER DID STOP. REPLACED THE TIRES AGAIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO OR LESS AND WAS ADVISED THAT WE NEEEDED STRUTS, WANTED A SECOND OPINION SO WE WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE CONTROLS ARMS WERE BAD AND WE NEEDED NEW TIRES. THIS WAS A WEEK AGO. WE PURCHASED A $1000 EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE CAR. WE CALLED THE WARRANTY PEOPLE AFTER HAVING NO LUCK WITH HONDA OF HIGH POINT, NC. THE WARRANTY COMPNAY SAID THAT HONDA TOLD THEM THAT THEY MADE THE PARTS WRONG. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. EVEN IF WE ARE OUT OF OUR WARRANTY PERIOD THEY SHOULD STILL BE LIABLE BECAUSE THEY MADE THE PART WRONG IN THE BEGINING. HAD THEY ADVISED US OF THE PROBLEM OVER A YEAR AGO, WE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AHVE BEEN READING SEVERAL BLOGS AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES HAVING THIS PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE PART. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL! I GUESS IF THE ARMS BREAK WHILE WE ARE RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WE CRASH AND DIE, THEN HONDA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

WHILE GOING TO MY DRS. HOME IN TILDON PARK, IN BERKELEY, TO GET TO TILDON PARK, THERE IS A SERIES OF 3 HILLS WITH STOP SIGNS AT THE TOP OF EACH. AFTER STOPPING AT THE SECOND STOP SIGN, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AFTER I LET THE CAR ROLL BACK AND I PARKED ON THE CURB FOR 5 MINUTES WITH THE CAR IDLING, FINALLY THE CAR FINISHED GOING UP THE THIRD HILL AND I MADE IT TO THE DRS. HOUSE, FROM THE DRS HOUSE I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS PROBLEM, PLUS, WHEN I GOT TO THE DRS HOUSE, THERE WAS A SMELL, LIKE A SLIPPING CLUTCH OR HOT BRAKES, I ALSO TOLD HONDA OF THIS, THEY MADE ME A APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS APPROACHED BY A SERVICEMAN AND HE ASKED ME,,WHAT WAS I BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR?...I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE TRANS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, I WAS TOLD..TAKE THE CAR HOME, WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THAT YET. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND I WAS TOLD..TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, SO A HOUR LATER THE CAR WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THE SERVICEMAN EXACTLY WHERE I WAS WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A DRIVER GO UP THOSE HILLS AND SEE IF THE CAR WILL DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TWO DAYS. FINALLY I CALLED AND WAS TOLD..THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE ITSELF. WHEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, I ASKED..DID YOU GO UP TO TILDON PARK?..I WAS TOLD YES. TWO DAYS LATER I HAD TO GO UP THOSE SAME HILLS AGAIN..AND AGAIN>.THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AT THE SECOND HILL., SO THE DEALERSHIP LIED TO ME AND AGAIN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN I WAS TOLD..THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THEY THINK...THAT AT LOW RPM THE BATTERY WHICH RUNS THE TRANNY DOES NOT CHARGE. I'VE RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE AT AMERICAN HONDA ASKING ME FOR A OPINION, AND..HE GOT A EARFUL. BUT TO THIS DAY, I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I DON'T DRIVE IT VERY MUCH ANYMORE..,. I DRIVE MY OTHER HONDA WHICH IS 100% DEPENDABLE. *TR

2007 CIVIC SI IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR AND GRINDS. TWO ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BY DEALER, BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER EACH REPAIR. PROBLEM STARTED AT AROUND 8K MILES, WAS REPAIRED THEN IT RECURRED AT AROUND 15K MILES. THE ODOMETER IS NOW AT 23K MILES AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. THE FIRST REPAIR ATTEMPT REPLACED THE 3RD GEAR SYNCRO. THE 2ND REPAIR REPLACE THE 3RD & 4TH GEAR SYNCRO AND SHIFT FORK. I RECOMMEND HONDA ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE 6SP MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON THE CIVIC SI DUE TO NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE HYBRID BATTERIES DISCHARGE IN WARM WEATHER LEAVING THE CAR DANGEROUSLY UNDER-POWERED. THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY AND WHEN IT DOES THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO SAFELY MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, CHANGE LANES OR TURN BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT CAN BE VERY SCARY AT TIMES. INITIALLY THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURRED IN VERY HOT WEATHER BUT IS WORSENING AND NOW OCCURS ROUTINELY IN REGULAR WARM AIR ' MOST ANY TIME THE A/C IS USED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT CAN ONLY SAY THAT HONDA CORPORATE IS AWARE AND INVESTIGATING. SAFETY DICTATES THAT THIS INVESTIGATION MOVE FASTER. *TR

DIFFICULTY SHIFTING TO 3RD GEAR ON MY 07 CIVIC SI. SOME GRINDING OCCURS WHEN SHIFTING AT TIMES, OTHER TIMES IT POPS OUT OF GEAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP BUT NOTHING WAS DONE SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE WHAT I DESCRIBED THE CAR WAS DOING. WHETHER HONDA DEALERSHIP CAN REPLICATE IT OR NOT, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE PARTICULARLY WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY WERE THE TRAFFIC IS HEAVY MOST OF THE TIME. *TR
