2007 Honda Civic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, HE HEARD A GROUNDING SOUND COMING FOR THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

RAPID TIRE WEAR OCCURRED ON THE INNER PORTIONS OF BOTH REAR TIRES. THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AFTER NOTICING MUCH ROAD NOISE AND HAVING THE TIRES ROTATED. TWO NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY AFTER CONSULTING TWO DIFFERENT HONDA GARAGES THEY BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARMS WERE INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND ARE WITHIN SPEC. BOTH GARAGES RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TIRES AGAIN, BUT THIS IS BECOMING VERY COSTLY. THE RIDE OF THE CAR OVER THE LAST YEAR HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND NOW I'M NOTICING BRAKING PROBLEMS. THE CAR HOPS IN THE BACK WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA IS DENYING THE PROBLEM AND HAS OFFERED NO COMPENSATION. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL ON MY LAP AND HONDA REPLACED IT BECAUSE IT WAS STILL ON WARRANTY.. BUT NOW THE PASSENGER VISOR IS HANGING DOWN BUT HONDA WONT REPLACE BECAUSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FRONT BRAKES DOES WEAR OUT AROUND 12K MILES AFTER REPLACING IT WITH THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME (HONDA DONT WANT TO ADMIT THAT THEY USE POOR QUALITY PADS SO YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK TO THEM FOR REPLACEMENT, THEY SAY ITS THE WAY YOU DRIVE BUT I DID POINT OUT TO THEM THAT IF I DRIVE LIKE A MANIAC I WOULD HAVE ALSO NEED TO REPLACE MY TIRES WHICH LASTED ME MORE THAN 50K MILES) I DECIDED GO GET AN AFTERMARKET CERAMIC PADS AND HAD IT INSTALLED FROM PEPBOYS. ITS BEEN MORE THAN 30K MILES AND BRAKES ARE STILL FINE. THE WIPER BLADE ON DRIVER SIDE DOES BECOME STICKY ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH LEAVES UNPLEASANT STREAK ON MY WINDSHIELD.. EVEN AFTER GETTING A NEW WIPER IT STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.. I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BY REPLACING MY DRIVER WIPER WITH A SHORTER ONE(ORIGINAL IS 26" NOW I HAVE 24"). *TR

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT APPROX. 45 MPH IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC.SEEING THAT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL HAD JUST TURNED RED I APPLIED THE BRAKES. AT THAT INSTANT I HEARD A "POP" AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON MY DASHBOARD. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT STRIKING ANYONE. I "NURSED" THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BLOWN BRAKE LINE. A NEW LINE WAS INSTALLED , AT A COST OF $280.00. I WAS TOLD THAT "YOU MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING WHICH SHOT UP AND STRUCK THE LINE". I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT, JUST AS I STATED ABOVE, "I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND HEARD A POP! I DEFINITELY DID NOT STRIKE ANYTHING! I THEN REQUESTED THE REPLACED BRAKE LINE WHICH I NOW HAVE IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE VEHICLE WAS INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCING AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL REPEATED PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WORN. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKES; YET INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. SHE ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD FROM A STOP RESULTING IN A SINGLE CAR CRASH IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DRIVER WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXAMINED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC BEGAN HAVING A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVERS REAR WHEEL. UPON LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA - SERVICE BULLETIN # 07-055 FOR REAR ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND O-RING INSPECTION. IT STATED THAT SOME SENSORS WERE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND WATER MAY ENTER THE HUB ASSEMBLY DAMAGING THE WHEEL BEARINGS. IN AREAS WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, THE WHEEL BEARINGS MAY CORRODE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE WHEEL FALLING OFF. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED. MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WAS LISTED WITHIN THE RANGE OF POTENTIALLY EFFECTED VEHICLES ON THE RECALL, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR HAS THE WHEEL BEARING ISSUE AS STATED IN THE RECALL. THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT EFFECTED AND ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES IN THE NOTICE WERE EFFECTED, NOT ALL VINS LISTED. THEY STATED MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN IF MY VEHICLE HAS THE DEFECT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A SERVICE REPAIR CENTER WHICH CONFIRMED THAT MY REAR WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD AND CORRODED. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. I HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE RECALL AND FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL THE VEHICLES THEY HAVE LISTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. IT'S OBVIOUS MORE VEHICLES ARE EFFECTED THAN THEY THOUGHT. IF THEY LIST A RANGE OF VIN NUMBERS THAN THEY SHOULD CHECK ALL ON THE LIST, NOT JUST PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH ONES THEY THINK MIGHT HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT SPEEDS OF 2 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN UNUSUAL SQUEAKING COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AND THE UPPER CONTROL ARM WERE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 75,000.

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHERE I SHOULD PUT THIS INFORMATION, BUT I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 31,000 MILES THAT THE DEALERSHIP STATES NEEDS NEW FRONT BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME RIGHT UP FRONT THAT THIS WAS COMMON IN THE CIVIC AND IF IT WAS AN ACCORD, IT WOULD BE REAR BRAKES. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS FOR OVER 45 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT REQUIRES A BRAKE REPLACEMENT AT THIS LOW MILAGE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE CONSUMER RATINGS FOR RELIABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY WERE THE HIGHEST I COULD FIND. THEY DID NOT MENTION THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I AM NOT SURE WHO TO CONTACT, BUT OTHER CONSUMERS WOULD SURELY LIIKE TO BE AWARE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF HONDA.
