During a routine oil change 'equipment inspection' was informed the third brake light was 'burned out'. as this is a multi-light led, the probability of the all the led to have failed was suspicious. dealer rep was very sure entire unit required replacement and quoted a price of nearly $200 for repair of a piece of safety equipment. deferred repair to further investigate. web search shows this is a extremely common occurrence on 2007 and later civics. problem is not the led but the solder joints on the assembly which fail frequently. as this is a design deficiency in a piece of safety equipment, one would expect a recall to correct. apparently as the problem requires 'immediate' repair in most states with annual safety inspections, it has not garnered sufficient traction with nhtsa to warrant action. (note: actual fail date/mileage is unknown). *tr

The srs light on my honda was on for the past month. this is a known issue that is affecting lots of honda civics of 2006 and 2007 that honda refuses to acknowledge. the wiring harness has to be replaced and the passenger side weight sensor, which is close to a $2000 repair. when i asked honda corporate (customer service [xxx] at 800-999-1009) i was arrogantly told they do not care because the car is outside of warranty. it is disgraceful that honda markets safety in their vehicles, but does not stand behind their srs system failing prematurely. this is not a wear and team item and no one sits in my car besides me. there should be a safety recall on this since airbags will not deploy whether or not we wear seat belts. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Original owner. after ima battery software upgrade owner now experiences random loss of battery power level. battery indicator randomly falls to 1 bar and during this time, sluggish to poor acceleration, especially in highway merge situations placing owner is dangerous situations. when battery charged at least 50%, acceleration is acceptable as the ima assist in acceleration. *tr

After battery upgrade due to honda recall notice, the 2007 civic hybrid battery does not hold its charge as well as it used to. this is dangerous in icy conditions, as accelerating is slow. it's also dangerous entering the expressway and making a quick left turn. if i expect the car to perform as it doe when the battery is working, i end up barely getting up to speed in time. i'm hesitant to contact honda for a fix because of reports that this makes the problem worse and also decreases mpgs. *tr
