2007 Honda Civic

THE VIN NUMBER ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2007 CIVIC COUPE DOES NOT BRING UP A RECALL TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. WHY? DOES THIS MEAN THAT THERE IS NO DANGER OF METAL SHARDS EXPLODING OUT OF THE AIRBAG? I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA'S CONSUMER INFORMATION DEPT. THEY CHECKED MY VIN AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NO AIRBAG RECALL. I ASKED WHY THERE WAS NO RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA DOES NOT ALWAYS PUT THE SAME BRAND OF AIRBAG IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. IS THIS TRUE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR AIR BAGS ERRONEOUSLY DEPLOYED CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CURB. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

AFTER ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, BY MY MECHANIC, AN OIL LEAK WAS NOTED. AFTER CLOSE INSPECTION ON A LIFT IT TURNED OUT TO BE SMALL FISSURES IN OIL PAN METAL(ALUMINUM). THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED, AND NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE METAL IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS MATTER AS AN OIL LEAK CAN HAVE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. I SPOKE TO HONDA(AMERICA) THIS AFTERNOON AND REPORTED IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE TURNING BACK OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91.000.

4/10/14 PICKED UP MY CAR FROM A BODY SHOP REFERRED BY VICTORY HONDA DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS TURNED LEFT 3 TO 4 SECONDS AFTER THE TURN MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND THE AIRBAG IN THE SIDE OF MY SEAT DEPLOYED AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT COLLISION AT THE SAME TIME. CAUSING A CONTINUAL RINGING IN MY EAR. TOOK CAR BACK TO BODY SHOP THEY TOOK MY CAR BACK TO VICTORY HONDA AND TOLD THEM I HIT A CURB. VICTORY HONDA, HONDA OF AMERICA, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE BODY SHOP ARE ALL STICKING TO THAT STORY. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND NOW I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AS THE SEAT BELTS AND THE REMAINING AIRBAGS ARE ALL DISCONNECTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [XXX].

I TOOK MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT MY SRS LIGHT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAUSE WAS DTC 32-10, INTERMITTENT CONNECTION IN FLOOR HARNESS. AND THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SEEN OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE IS DESIGN FLAW IN THE SRS SYSTEM. I HAVE ALSO FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: SB-10-001 THIS SEEMS LIKE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT SHE GOT HER CIVIC PAINTED BECAUSE OF A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY CAR AT THE HONDA DEALER IN KILLEEN TEXAS, BUT I CALLED MY LOCAL GREG MAY HONDA IN WACO TX SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I TOLD THEM I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE STATING THERE WAS A RECALL, AND SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT IT. I WAS HAVING THE EXACT COLOR ISSUES WITH PEALING, CLOUDY COLOR ON MY ROOF, AND A FEW OTHER PANELS ON MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT ITS PAST DUE NOW, AND I BASICALLY WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS. I AM HAVING MY CAR ROOF PAINTED THIS WEEKEND, AND WILL HAVE TO DO THE REST AS I CAN AFFORD IT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL THAT HONDA SAID WAS HAPPENING IF YOU NEVER SENT A NOTIFICATION TO ME.??? I HAVEN'T BEEN ONLINE HERE SINCE I PAID MY CAR OFF, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WOULD HAVE RECALLS ETC ON HERE. I WILL KEEP WATCH NOW THAT I KNOW. I LOVE MY HONDAS THIS IS MY SECOND CIVIC I ALSO HAD AN ACCORD. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING FOR ME? I HAVE PHOTO'S OF MY CAR WITH THE DAMAGE IF YOU NEED PROOF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION REGARDING THE ABOVE MATTER. *TR
