2009 Honda Civic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR RUBBER AND CLIPS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WERE DETERIORATING AND EXPOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF PASADENA (1965 E FOOTHILL BLVD, PASADENA, CA 91107, (626) 773-8774), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TAKATA RECALL JULY 06, 2019 ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT IT TURNED OFF IMMEDIATELY. IT NEVER CAME BACK ON UNTIL RECENTLY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS LIT ON THE DASH. MY VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE AIRBAG CODE I GET WHEN I SCAN THE VEHICLE IS A "CODE 33-10 OPEN IN THE LEFT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FIRST INFLATOR." AIRBAGS IN VEHICLES SHOULD NOT GO BAD FOR NO REASON ESPECIALLY CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THIS AIRBAG WENT BAD (DEFECTIVE). I WENT ONLINE AND I SAW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS I DO ON HONDA VEHICLES. I WAS ABOUT TO SELL MY CAR AND NOW THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME, THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL MY VEHICLE. MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC HAD 115,000 MILES WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT FIRST CAME ON IN THE DASH. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED CHEST PAIN AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE. THE OTHER TWO PASSENGERS SUSTAINED CONTUSIONS FROM THE SEAT BELTS AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DAMAGED AND SENSED THAT THE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE AIR BAG SENSOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED THE OWNER RETAINED OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DO THE REPAIRS WITH THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND LEFT MESSAGES BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

THE AIR BAG FACTORY MESSED UP AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF OPENED AND CAN HURT OR KILL THE PASSENGERS. THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES LEFT US A NOTE TO RECEIVE A FREE REPAIR. MY NUMBER IS [XXX] AND MY NAME IS [XXX] AND WHEN YOU CALL PLEASE SPEAK SPANISH INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

"TAKATA RECALL". MY HONDA CIVIC 2009 LX SEDAN IS GIVING ME A VERY HARD TIME. ITS AIR CONDITION TURNS ON BUT STOPS WORKING RIGHT AFTER 10 MINTS AS THE COMPRESSOR GETS HOT AND IT STARTS BLOWING HOT AIR. THIS ISSUE IS WITH ALMOST ALL VEHICLES OF THE SAME GENERATION AND HONDA IS NOT GOING TO OWN IT AND SAYS THAT THE CARS ARE OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.

THE A/C RELAY SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE ACTUAL AC SWITCH ON THE COMPRESSOR DUE TO IT BOGGING MY ENGINE DOWN EVERY TIME I TURN IT ON AND IT STILL WON'T BLOW COLD AIR. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUED ISSUE AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF POST ONLINE ABOUT IT. SO WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED OR SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT.

2009 HONDA CIVIC NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. IN FEB 2019 HE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. FRONT AIRBAGS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER TAKITA RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR "A PART THAT JUST FAILS OVER TIME" AND WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I PAID $1100 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND I FEAR IT IS NOW THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG THAT HAS FAILED AND I WILL HAVE TO PUT ANOTHER $1100 INTO A CAR FOR FAILURE OF A SAFETY PART. THE CAR HAS 112,000 MILES AND I JUST PAID AN ADDITIONAL $1400 FOR REAR BREAKS, SHOCKS, ETC., WHICH I CONSIDER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I COULD HAVE PUT $3600 DOWN ON A NEW CAR. NOW I AM ALREADY INTO THIS CAR FOR $2500 AND FIXING THE AIRBAG IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIDE AIRBAG ISSUES WITH HONDA VEHICLES. ALSO, THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE VEHICLE! STARTED PEELING 6 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP SO HONDA NOT RESPONSIBLE.
