Takata recall hi i am having several issues with the ignition not wanting to turn for several moments after putting the key inside to start my 2007 honda xivic lx sedan and then all of a sudden the lights and power to the doors and windows work but car won't roll over to start. the car has been flashing a wrench like bar along with what looks like shape of the motor for 2 months as well ad i've just had an oil change done 4 days ago but yet it still reads oil life 5% b1 on the dash which won't clear nothing was wrong with spark plus or anything else under hood from valvoline's stand point when checked other than wipers don't never want to shut off as well. thank you and regards [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tt

Driver window won't go up or down and there is a very strong plastic type smell. the smell was so strong that we immediately became dizzy even with the passenger window down & sunroof wide open. we drove less than a mile. it has been over an hour and we are still feeling nauseous, dizzy and weak in the knees. i am afraid to drive it again because i believe we would have passed out if driven further. no check lights came on, no previous indication of a problem.
On august 31, 2017 while i was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly. fortunately i managed to pull over the car to a safe place immediately beside the highway otherwise i would have been in a fatal situation. i had the car towed to the dean honda at pittsburgh where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem. they identified that there was crack in the engine block which has caused the coolant to leak from the engine and hence overheating of the engine has happened. they told me that the engine has to be replaced and few other parts as well (like spark plug etc.) to make the car running again which would cost me around $4000. i did some research over the internet regarding this issue and found that most of the 2006 to 2009 civics had the engine crack issue and tsb 10-048 was issued and the warranty of such engines were extended to 10 years and that would cover the replacement of the engine if such issues are found. i checked with my service consultant at dean honda if this would be covered under the extended warranty. he did a vin inquiry and said the warrant has expired 10 days ago and this won't be covered. (the original purchase date of the car was 22-aug-2007 and this incident happened to me on 31-aug-2017). this is a big blow to me. this is my first car in the us. i bought this car as the second owner in july 2015 with only 36000 miles on it and i have hardly driven 15000 miles over the past two years without any issues. the previous owner also never had any issues with it and that's why i purchased it with confidence. considering customer's safety, these engines needs to be recalled by honda and replaced with new ones or at least the warranty of these engines needs to be extended further (for at least for 5 more years). i was lucky enough to survive a fatal accident.
Defective engine and transmission mounts. a design issue that has many owners repairing (cost of $800) mounts at 65-85,000 miles. car vibrates after the car is cold especially when in reverse. after engine warms up, the vibrations dissappear except when the gas is released and engine breaking occurs. if clutch is dissengagued the vibrations decrease. this issue is as common as the visor problem from a couple years back and is a known design flaw from the factory. issue occurs over vehicle life after 65,000 miles
Driver side visor broken. dangles and dangerously blocks driver's vision. it was part of recall in 2012. had it repaired by honda 2/7/2012 as instructed. it has failed again...same exact problem. notified honda but was advised out of warranty. my opinion is warranty should not expire on a known defective part. they simply installed another visor of the same design knowing that it too would fail.
Paint falure
I've had/having several problems with my 2007 honda civic that i bought brand new. my back tires have worn very unevenly over the years and because of this car eating tires i've replaced tires almost every 2 years. there is also a popping sound when driving when you make a tight turn. i've also had many problems with my a/c. i've had the blower fan stop working and some component relating to it replaced 3 times. my a/c recently stopped blowing cold air after it spit out frozen freon through my vents. mechanic has told me my freon was empty and compressor locked up. now i need to throw money ($1400) at this repair as well!...updated 07/19/16 *bf
I have crack on my engine block upfront where's leek out antifreeze from block when i came dealership they said it doesn't cover my vehicle but when i check online it problem issues recall on this model so what should i have to do i'm student i buy this car for cash and i see this issue factory belong my vehicle has only 115000 miles can you respond me please.
On my 2007 civic ex, the driver side visor popped open at the parting line near the hinge and the plastic ribs inside broke. it does not want to snap back into place in any direction (front, back, or side). it hangs so low that it is blocking the view of the road (front windshield and driver side window) at all times. i am very disappointed with honda that it is not listed as a safety concern...because it is.
The sun visor on the driver's side broke in july 2015 along the joint where the rod runs through it. had gone to a friend's house, and when i went back out to my car, the sun visor was broken. nothing else had happened to the car; just the broken sun visor. sun visor now constantly hangs down vertically, obstructing view. only temporary solution is pushing the visor to the side, but that obstructs the view of traffic on the side of the vehicle. problem occurred about one year outside honda's extended warranty for the visor. not sure what to do.
In 2011 honda settled a class action suit involving defective sun visors. my car had both visors replaced in, i believe, 2012. both are cracked just as the originals were. the danger is in the driver side defective sun visor. it can flop down unpredictably and and distract the driver. if it flops down halfway, its edge is aimed at my forehead and injure me. the only inexpensive and quick repair is a binder clip attached to the broken parts to hold them together.
I hit a pothole and the airbag was deployed.
Air bag and side air bag symbol warning was coming on and off for atleast a year & now stays on all the time
Driver side visor started to getting stuck and loose before completely falling off the hinge. *tr
Pulley bolt malfunctioned causing water pump to break while also damaging the drive belt. *js
After about 4 years the paint faded really bad on the roof and hood. i talked to honda about it at the time and they said they had had lots of complaints but that my year was not one that was covered. recently i went in and they told me that my year had been covered but that time has run out. i feel that they should have advised people if there was an issue. since i was told it wasn't covered by my dealer and then later told it was and time had run out.
2007 honda hybrid ima problems honda update now car really unsafe. never know when hybrid will go gas mileage went from 45 to 32 mpg cant get up to speed at lights tired of people blowing there horns at me. please help us hybrid owners very unsafe car with ima update honda want put it back to org spec. *tr
While operating the above vehicle, the driver side sun visor imploded, became unstable and fell into my line of sight. this was a known hazardous defect on behalf of the manufacturer, honda. i just became aware this has been a well documented flaw in the design and the company has been put on notice. the failure of honda to voluntarily recall and/or repair the defected visor amounts to negligence according to most state case law. this should immediately result in a civil action before another failed product presents an undue hazard to another victim of honda.
The driver's side visor is defective. it appears as though the seal on the hinge for the visor has come undone (not due to any excess force, simply due to general everyday use). the defective hinge on the visor leads to the inability to properly position the visor, when in use, or not in use. when in use, this creates a safety hazard due to obstructing the driver's vision by the visor itself due to inability to properly position the visor (it does not stay in place), or affecting the driver's vision due to not being able to properly shield glare and sun due to the inability to properly position the visor while driving. when not in use, the visor may not stay in place, therefore "flopping" in front of the driver's line of vision. this is a safety concern that, when researched on the internet, is large problem with honda civic owners like myself. this has not yet caused me to have an accident, but i'm trying to be proactive in preventing such an incident. i have tried multiple times to speak with my honda service people, and i've been told this is not covered under warranty. however, the service people have told me they see this complaint "all the time." this is a safety defect that needs to be addressed and properly handled. thank you for looking into this matter.
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
The vehicle's hybrid ima system (integrated motor assist) has been steadily deteriorating since approximately 40000 miles, but became hazardous at around 63000. current mileage is 78500. the hybrid battery system must recharge so frequently that battery assist is available less than half the time. when assist is unavailable, acceleration is dangerously low, making common driving situations such as left turns, freeway onramps, and merging into traffic unpredictable and quite hazardous. honda's only response has been a series of ineffective software updates. honda will not replace the battery under warranty unless a warning light appears. yet even the current severely degraded performance of the battery does not trigger that warning light. i have been in several "near miss" situations when acceleration was so sluggish that i was nearly unable to evade a dangerous traffic situation.
This report deals with a recurring problem with my honda civic. in 2009, i took my honda to the local dealership due to the console between the front seats becoming extremely hot, so hot in fact, that i could not touch the emergency brake. the dealership said that it was fixed, however, a year to the month later, the same thing happened when the heat was again turned on. the dealership said that they could not brace the heat line to anything, that they would have to "wad up something" to have it rest upon. i am very dissatisfied with the many recalls and now this situation that keeps surfacing. when will this happen again, if it has already occurred twice.
i own two 2007 honda civic lx coupe & sedan with15,000 miles and coupe with 30,000 miles. both cars have the same sun visor problem. it breaks and will not stay in up postion. the visor could suddenly fall in front of the driver and cause an accident. *tr
My sun visors have cracked/split at the top on both the driver and passenger side. they will not stay up and block my vision so that i have to turn them to the side facing the doors while driving. i had them both replaced while under warranty on september 13, 2008. they broke exactly the same way again this summer(2010). the visors are not able to withstand the heat and seem to melt and burst at the seam in the summer months.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. whenever the contact drives the vehicle and depresses the brake or accelerator pedals, she hears a sound as if water is rushing forward and backwards. she stated that the sound appeared to be coming from under the trunk. when taken to the dealer, they kept the vehicle for a week, but did not repair or diagnose the vehicle. the contact was informed that this was a normal occurrence. when the window is closed and the vehicle is placed into park, she can hear the sound more clearly as if she is in a boat. the failure mileage was 13,595. updated 09/23/08 *bf updated 10/01/08 *jb

On wednesday, june 11, 2008 i was driving from mar vista, ca to san leandro, ca with my 4 year old son and 20 year old sister in law. we were on the 580 w driving in the far left lane at 65mph at 11:30 am when we heard an explosion in the rear of the car. when we inspected the car, the right rear tire was blown through. the side walls were intact, but the whole top part of the tire was not connected to the side wall. my car is a 2007 honda civic coupe ex and it had about 8300 miles. i purchased the car in july 2007. the crash caused significant damage to the front left side of my car. the car is now at a body shop and is being repaired in san leandro, ca. we have the defective tire. after doing more research i found that honda had issued a service bulletin about uneven or rapid tire wear. tsb 08-001 on february 8, 2008. i did not receive notification of this serious defect because honda is not required to notify consumers regarding tsbs. this defect is serious and affects nearly all 2006-2007 honda civics. this tsb needs to become a recall. all owners of 2006-2007 honda civics need to be made aware of this life threatening defect. i understand that tires should be checked regularly, and many consumers do, however, my tires did not give me any warning of uneven wearing. actually, it would be hard to notice since my 2007 civic coupe ex is not quite on the road and you can feel any little bump in the road. i was told that this was normal because of the stiff suspension. overall, i seriously hope that this is addressed quickly. many unsuspecting drivers, many of whom have driven honda's in the past are not expecting this type of problem which can cause tire blowouts and possible fatal accidents. it would be unfortunate that a class action suit or the death of innocent consumers prompt honda to make this tsb 08-001 notice a recall notice. *tr
I bought my 2007 honda civic coupe last febuary( haven't had problems until tonight car is leaking right there at the seams of the rear air bags and roof meet, the right side, water running down the sides onto the seat, discovered the other side was leaking at the same place but not as bad . feel a cool breeze from both sides. left side in the front where plastic and fabric meet at the top was leaking as well,the interior is soaked through. obviously theres a problem with the seal or something but i am absolutitly furious about this situation,i did not spend $25,000 etc. in cash,for my damm car to leak a river,thats something i would expect from my 35 year old house,not my under a year old car. and a simple cleaning from a detailer is not gonna fix my problem. i am so pissed i can't even begin to express it. i just want to get this problem resolved even if that results in getting a new car and starting over again,cause the way i see it is that my car is damaged goods, yes you can fix the problem (maybe) but theres already water damage and who's knows how far the water has gone or what it has leaked into and if it is to be fixed who do i know it won't happen again. i don't exactly have a lot of money, by buying this car it is a huge part of me that has to last and is the most expensive thing i own i will probably never have this chance to own a new car again and i'm not gonna let this slip by like its nothing. i didn't know who exactaly is in charge or who to go to so if chance be you can't help me i'm sure you can direct me to someone who can correct it. feel free to forward this message to anyone who can help me. please contact me a.s.a.p before i have a small pond, river or lake in my car(and at that time the damage will already have been done). *tr
Increasingly worse rear tire noise. dealer says normal. eventual first oil change and dealer admits to tech. svc. bulletin. 4hrs labor (no loaner) and hard sell to replace tires for $300 aprox. since this was my fault(?) sun visor failed and has become a hazard with no remedy available, only another defective visor. *tr
I have two problems with the 2007 honda civic si that we just bought this month: 1) i was told we get am and fm radio reception. i get absolutely no am radio reception and was offered the choice of having honda install xm radio (for $500). i installed it myself for $150, but this all seems like a ploy to get us to buy xm radio from them. 2) every day there is a new paint defect to notice. my hood looks like it has freckles at this point. needless to say, i'll never patronize the honda corporation ever again. jason williams [email protected] (845) 452-2537
Ac stop working on my new 3 month old 2007 honda civic. air conditioning condenser coil received damage apparently caused bt a pebble that was kicked up while driving on the highway. this appears to be a common problem amongst honda owners from the research i've done. there is virtually no protection against such an event and this part appears much too fragile to be exposed as it is. the condenser must be replaced and would cost $700. dealer refuse to fix under warranty. *jb
Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission. i patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution. honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably caused by my driving, the problem with the vehicle going into third gear is a known problem and there is a technical service bulletin that honda corporate has released for the exact problem. the headliner rattles, door gasket seal has been coming off since purchase, suspension popping noise in the front passenger side strut since purchase and the sound has become more frequent, the driver side visor was defective and was replaced, the driver door hits the fender when opening just started happening since honda worked on my vehicle. i have been taking my vehicle to two different dealerships (recommended by honda corporate) and nothing has been properly repaired. i feel as though i have been given the run around for the past year. honda has made several attempts to repair the problems and has not been able to, they have only damaged my vehicle during their attempts to repair it. they have damaged the front bumper three times, the side of the vehicle once, the door and fender once. they of course denied any involvement in the damage, then repair it under warranty. *tr
A/c stopped cooling. took my '07 civic (fewer than 6500 miles) to a honda dealership and was told a rock damaged my condenser. repairs are estimated at $550. got the best warranty i could when i bought the car and it still won't cover it due to "physical damage". after some research on the topic, i've noticed countless websites and blogs concerning this issue. seems like a textbook design flaw to me. i can't believe honda, who "stands for quality" would like something like this keep happening to their customers. i'm going with the camry next time. *jb
