2007 Honda Civic

CAR LOST OVER 15 MPG FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS, EXTREME DECREASE IN ACCELERATION NECESSARY FOR CAR TO SAFELY MERGE OR TURN INTO TRAFFIC, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35-40 MPH WHEN ENTERING INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, IMA AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS EVENTUALLY CAME ON, COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE IMA BATTER MODULE, MODULE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT SOFTWARE HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED, CAR STILL HAS LESS POWER AND A LOSS OF APPROX 10 MPG, HONDA STATES THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME, BUT THAT CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, A CONSERVATIVE DRIVER, RARELY EXCEEDING 60 MPH TO INCREASE MILEAGE, AND DRIVE FOR WORK IN AN AREA EAST OF DALLAS, TEXAS. I HAD GREAT MILEAGE AND NO PROBLEMS TO SPEAK OF UNTIL THIS PAST JUNE. I FIRST HAD NOTICED A DETERIORATION IN THE GAS MILEAGE. THEN I EXPERIENCED FOR THE FIRST TIME A DRASTIC DROP IN RESPONSIVENESS. I WAS ENTERING A HWY FROM A COUNTRY ROAD AND FOUND MYSELF WITH NO POWER. THIS HAS REMAINED SO DESPITE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE NUMBER OF BARS SHOWING ON THE GAUGE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER, AND THERE WOULD BE WILD FLUCTUATIONS OF BARS. THERE HAS BEEN NO WARNING LIGHT. I'VE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEALER. MAILED AMERICAN HONDA A COMPLAINT, RESULTING IN A CALL FROM HONDA THAT SEEMED TO ME SIMPLY A WAY TO MOLLIFY. HONDA APPARENTLY DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM A "SAFETY" ISSUE. I BEG TO DIFFER. NOW I MUST ALWAYS BE AWARE THAT I DON'T HAVE POWER (THE COOLER WEATHER HAS GENERALLY SEEN A HIGHER NUMBER OF BARS), AND MILEAGE HAS DEFINITELY SUFFERED. ONE CLEAR EXAMPLE IS THAT SINCE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE, THE GAS ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT OFF AS MUCH AS IT USED TO, ESPECIALLY DURING HOT WEATHER. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO BE A 10 YEAR, 300,000 MILE PRODUCT, WITH NO CONCERN FOR RESALE VALUE AT THE END. NOW I'M PARALYZED WITH THE PROSPECT OF POOR RESALE VALUE, PERHAPS UNABLE TO SELL PRIVATELY - RESTRICTED TO ONLY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME TO BUY A HONED - BASED ON A REPUTATION FOR DURABILITY.

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC SEDAN IN 2007. AT AROUND 40,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS SPLIT APART AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FLOPS DOWN MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEE THE ROADS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VISOR TO GET REPAIRED, BUT MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

MY CLUTCH WENT OUT ON A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI SEDAN. THERE WAS A TSB ON THE VEHICLE AND I HAD CALLED MY LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT IT PREVIOUSLY WITH THEM TELLING ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE AND WAS IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CLUTCH WENT OUT SO IT WAS DANGEROUS IN NUMEROUS WAYS. THE CLUTCH IS DEFECTIVE PER THE TSB AND IS A HAZARD TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY DRIVE AND THE CLUTCH MIGHT GO OUT. THE CLUTCH ISSUE HAS BEEN ON THE NEWS AND IN THE PAPER BUT NO DEALERSHIP IS TELLING PEOPLE AND NO LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT TO PEOPLE TO LET THEM KNOW! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN THROUGH TWO SETS OF TIRES IN LESS THAN 38,000 MILES. THE FACTORY TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED IN 2009 BECAUSE OF PREMATURE WEAR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RELATED TSB FOR THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS; THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR PREMATURE WEAR AGAIN AND THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH 43K MILES ON IT. RECENTLY MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR FROM AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I FIND THIS ABSURD SINCE THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND TO TOP IT OFF, I MISSED THE WARRANTY BY 6K MILES. I HAD THE REPAIR DONE BECAUSE I FAILED MY SAFETY INSPECTION AND THE COST WAS $595, NOT INCLUDING THE $89 FEE TO DIAGNOSE IT. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NOTICED A SLEW OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS WITH VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE A LOUD HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHICH STEADILY GOT WORSE. ALSO, WE EXPERIENCED EXTREME LACK OF CONTROL OVER THE CAR DURING ICY CONDITIONS. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE HUMMING SOUND WAS COMING FROM REAR TIRES THAT WERE SEVERELY CUPPED. IT WAS NECESSARY TO PURCHASE NEW BACK TIRES, GET THE FRONT AND BACK ALIGNED, AND PURCHASE AND HAVE INSTALLED, A STABILIZER BAR. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR. *TR
