2008 Honda Civic

TAKATA RECALL - I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER TO DETERMINE ANY POTENTIAL RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE TO FIND THAT MINE IS INCLUDED ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD TAKE ROUGHLY A WEEK TO SHIP IN; IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO FIX ONCE THE PART WAS IN. I WAS UTTERLY SHOCKED THAT SHE WASN'T SURPRISED OR EVEN WANTING TO VERIFY ANY INFORMATION ON MY VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE AS TO THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE, AND ONLY FOUND OUT FROM BEING PROACTIVE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT SINCE MAY OF 2016, AND ITS JULY AND I STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION FROM HONDA? THIS SEEMS LIKE GROSS NEGLIGENCE SHOULD SOMETHING HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT; I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT MY PASSENGER AND POSSIBLY MYSELF COULD BE KILLED DUE TO METAL FRAGMENTS BEING RELEASED WHEN THE AIRBAG RUPTURES. IS IT NOT REQUIRED THAT THIS INFORMATION BE MADE AWARE TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES BY THE MANUFACTURERS? WHY DID I HAVE TO GO OUT OF MY WAY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT IS OF THEIR DOING? WHERE ARE THE REPERCUSSIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY FOR FAILING TO BE PROACTIVE? I HAVE OTHER ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE THAT I WILL FILE UNDER OTHER REPORTS. HONDA ISN'T GETTING OFF CLEAN ANYMORE, NOT WHEN THEY'RE QUALITY HAS DROPPED AND NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

TAMARA RECALL - GETTING THE RUN A ROUND ON GETTING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. FIRST, WAS NEVER NOTIFIED, NOW THEY ARE TELLING US THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS AFFECT AND THAT SEEMS VERY STRANGE THAT IT WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT MATERIALS THAN THE DRIVER AIRBAG. VERY UNHAPPY AT THE WAY HONDA IS HANDLING THIS. TELLING US THAT IT TAKES 60 TO 90 DAYS TO GET THE PARTS THAT SEEMS EXTREME. THE WHOLE SITUATION SEEMS LIKE A COVER UP WITH THE PUBLIC BE PUT IN DANGER.

HONDA HAS ISSUES A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048 AND 08-044 THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK OVERHEATS AND CAUSING ENGINE TO CRACK. I AM 3RD OWNER OVER THE CAR AND BOUGHT THE CAR WITH A SALVAGED TITLE ( BECAUSE IT WAS STOLEN) WITH 48,000 MILE ON IT. I HAVE SINCE PUT 54,000 MILE ON IT SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND AM EXPERIENCING MISFIRE AND CRACKING OF ENGINE BLOCK. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY ARE DENYING MY CLAIM FOR THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE MY CAR HAS SALVAGED TITLE EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS NEVER IN A ACCIDENT. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS RIGHT THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A PROBLEM AND ONLY OFFER WARRANTY EXTENSION TO ORIGINAL OWNER TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT EVERYONE ELSE WHO MAY HAVE SALVAGE TITLE FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER ARE NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH ITS HONDA'S FAULT FOR NOT USING GOOD CASTING FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK. I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND GET HONDA TO ANNOUNCE A RECALL SO THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS SAME PROBLEM CAN GET THEIR CAR FIXED. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR SINCE I HAVE HAD IT WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE INTERVALS AND WOULD HATE TO LOSE MY TRUST IN HONDA MOTORS BECAUSE OF THIS. I JUST WANT HONDA TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND EXCHANGE MY FAULTY BLOCK, I WOULD EVEN BE HAPPY WITH PAYING 50% OF COSTS OR THEY PROVIDE PART AND I WILL PAY FOR LABOR.

ADDENDUM: REFERENCE ODI NUMBER: 10748966. AS OF 6/19/2016 MY HONDA CIVIC HAS A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (VIN VERIFIED). I AM NOT SUPPOSE TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL A HONDA DEALER FIXES IT. SO NOW I HAVE NO AIRBAG AND NO SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (BECAUSE IT DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY REASON)...I ALSO HAVE A LOADED TIME BOMB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT HONDA WANTS TO FIX...BUT STILL NO RECALL ON THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG BECAUSE HONDA DOESN'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WHY ISN'T THE NHTSA MAKING HONDA RECALL 2008 HONDA CIVICS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? MY GOD, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS TICKING TIME BOMB! VR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COATING ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CREATED A GLARE ON THE WINDOW DURING NIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS OF OTHER VEHICLES REFLECTED OFF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A BODY SHOP THAT SPECIFIED IN THE WINDOWS ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 07/12/16*LJ

I PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE USED. IT WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD. I READ A LOT OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT OTHER 2008 HONDAS. I DIDN'T SEE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY HONDA, I NOTICED THE THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT HAS NEVER WORKED. THAT'S THE LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK WINDOW, WHICH IS A LED BRAKE LIGHT. EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, IT WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND SUPPOSEDLY, LED LIGHTS LAST LONGER THAN THE TRADITIONAL BRAKE LIGHTS. THE ONLY REASON I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS IS THAT THIS LIGHT COSTS ABOUT $150 FOR THE LIGHT ITSELF, AND ANOTHER $150 TO INSTALL IT. IT'S NOT AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, LIKE THE AIRBAGS AND OTHER ISSUES DESCRIBED ON THIS SITE, BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE SENSE THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WILL BE EXPECTING TO SEE THAT 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WHEN BRAKING. HAVE OTHER PEOPLE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE? MAYBE IT'S ONLY THIS VEHICLE...
