2007 Honda Civic

I PURCHASED THIS 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE NEW IN MAY OF 2007. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND SUBSEQUENT RECALL FOR THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS THAT CAUSED SEVERE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATION. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE FIX DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND MAKING IT RIGHT. THE REPLACEMENT ARMS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LATITUDE IN THE ADJUSTMENT IN CAMBER. THERE ARE AFTER MARKET FIXES FOR THIS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TIRE WEAR AND SUBSEQUENT HANDLING WHILE DRIVING ARE A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. THIS MAY ALSO BE CAUSE FOR A NEW CLASS ACTION SUIT, AS THE ORIGINAL "FIX" WAS NOT A FIX. *TR

EARLY 2014 WE APPROACHED HONDA OF COLUMBIA, THE PURCHASE POINT OF THIS CAR, ABOUT THE FACTORY PAINT FLAKING AND COMING OFF. HONDA SAYS WE HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR REPAINTED AND SHOW THEM THE RECEIPT BEFORE THEY WILL HELP OFFER FINANCIAL HELP. THAT COSTS US $4000+ OUT OF OUR POCKET AND THEN THEY MAY SUBSIDIZE THE COST. THIS CAR MISSES THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE PAINTING BY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HER CAR HAS BEEN WELL KEPT BUT NOT GARAGED. INDEPENDENT PAINT SHOPS CONFIRM THAT IT IS A FAULT W/ THE ORIGINAL PAINTING PROCESS. NEARLY THE WHOLE TOP/FLAT SURFACES OF THE CAR ARE IN QUESTION: SPOILER, ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD, FENDERS AND ALL OTHER HORIZONTAL SURFACES ARE AFFECTED. THE VERTICAL PORTIONS ARE IN ACCEPTABLE SHAPE. THE LOCAL DEALER HONDA OF COLUMBIA, S.C. SAYS THIS CAR DOESN'T FALL INTO THE FACTORY RECALL CRITERIA BECAUSE IT IS AN '07 AND THEY ONLY QUALIFIED UP TO '06. ONE OF THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPS ASSURED US THEY IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT EVEN THE COLOR WAS ONE LISTED ALONG W/ THE OTHER CAR COLORS. NOT HONDA OF COLUMBIA DENIES THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE REPAINTED BEFORE THEY WILL HELP PAY, BUT NOW ONLY OFFER $1000 TO SUBSIDIZE THE COST AND STILL WONT TELL ME HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL HONDA OF AMERICA SERVICE FOLKS AND TALK TO THEM THEY HAVE YET TO ANSWER A CALL. THERE IS NO ANSWER OF ANY KIND SO I AM UNABLE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. WHAT SHOULD I DO... *TR

ELDERLY MOTHER DRIVES THIS CAR. SHE DRIVES SLOW AND KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT CARS. I BORROWED HER CAR TO FIND IT VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY FROM THE REAR WITH LOUD TIRE NOISE FROM THE REAR AS WELL. FOUND SCALLOPED REAR TIRES IN POOR, DANGEROUS CONDITION. REPLACED TIRES THINKING THEY WERE FAULTY TIRES. PROBLEM RECURRED ONLY SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. REPLACED TIRES AGAIN, DIFFERENT BRAND AND HAD THE REAR SUSPENSION WORKED ON PER HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN. PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND WE MUST KEEP REPLACING THE TIRES. I'M TIRED OF SEEING MY MOM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND CONTINUOUSLY SPENDING MONEY ON PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I'M SCARED THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT. IF THE TIRES BLOW OUT, MY MOTHER MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. YES, THIS "WILL" CAUSE ME TO FILE A LAWSUIT ON HONDA BECAUSE THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS TELL ME SO. WE COULD SELL THE CAR BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT BE IN DANGER OF BLOW OUTS. HONDA SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT...AT THEIR COST.... BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CIVIC 2007 ON A RAMP GOING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER, WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND STARTED SMOKING. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL IT STOPPED AND STARTED SMOKING. TURNS OUT THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED CREATING OVERHEATING. THE OVERHEATING CAUSED OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE TO MELT, THE SPARK PLUGS, OIL DIPSTICK, HEAD IS WARPED. *JS

WHILE DRIVING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THEN WHEN THEY FINALLY DID SHUT OFF THEY WERE PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. THEY ALSO HAVE TURNED ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ALL WEEK AND IT'S BEEN RAINING. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR WHICH COST $400. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS AND IT SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL AS IT'S UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED ONCE A YEAR ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
