2005 Honda Civic 2-DR. Hatchback

Hood safety latches both failed, causing hood to slam into windshield breaking windshield & denting hood. Various electrical issue, battery issue. Alternator issues that haven been tested to be working but don't work in car. Coolant system loses pressure & over heats, no leaks, no blown head gaskets. Battery, starter & alternator all good but car will not start. Everything has power but will not turn over. Over 3,000 dollars I have spent fixing numerous factory issues that have broken or simply failed. 400$ for need windshield & dent removal from defective locking device. Soon as I fix something on my car, something else breaks. 2005 civic 1.7l automatic 126,700 miles. I have roughly 50K miles less on original engine than most & I've been having issue since I bought it at 121,100 miles. Nothing but pouring money into a car that should run with zero problems.

The contact's grandson owns a 2005 Honda Civic. The contact stated her grandson was driving at approximately 70 mph when he dozed off and crashed into another vehicle. The contact and her husband were driving in front of the grandson's vehicle and the contact's husband witnessed the collision from his rearview mirror. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's grandson later went to the hospital for injuries sustained from the seat belt digging into his chest and had a cut on his arm. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard, then to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the mechanics. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. Invalid VIN.

Air bag light came on due to cable reel (clockspring) failure. I called Honda and they said I would have to pay for repair and dealer said $450 cost. I bought cable reel at NAPA auto parts for $146 and installed it myself but air bag light stays on. I researched technical service bulletins and find updates to vehicle software to resolve the air bag indicator staying on even when reset. I called Honda again and they said air bags covered until 2022 but I would have to pay a dealer to evaluate the system. I repaired the cable reel at my cost and my labor and I think Honda since air bag related should cover the repair of the cable reel and update the vehicle firmware and if needed replace the air bag under the 20 year safety related federal law. Considering the history of air bag issues I would think Honda would offer to have my vehicle inspected at no cost to me and refund what I have receipts for.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and ceased with the RPM level rising. The vehicle then loss motive power. The contact was awaiting a tow to the dealer. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,361.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V501000 (Air Bags) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

THE MANUFACTURER FAILED OR WASN'T ABLE TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I HYDROPLANED AND WENT HEAD ON WITH A TREE YET MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY

THE AIR BAG WHITE HAS BEEN ON FOR SO LONG AND I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL I SIDESWIPED A CAR IT WAS NOT MY FAULT THE OTHER NIGHT AND THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AND I BUMPED MY HEAD

YELLOW WARNING LIGHT ON DASH. DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS FROM AUTOZONE INDICATED MISFIRE CODES OF 1, 3, 4, AND RANDOM MISFIRE. RADIATOR FLUID STARTED TO GO DOWN IN ENGINE WITHOUT DRAWING RADIATOR FLUID FROM THE RESERVOIR FOLLOWING A ROUTINE CHANGING OF THE ENGINE BELT IN JUNE 2020. MECHANIC FAILED TO REFILL THE RADIATOR RESERVOIR, BUT MECHANIC AND HONDA DEALERSHIP REPORT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED A HEAD GASKET FAILURE. A SIMILAR PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR HAD 88,000 MILES ON IT, AND A MECHANIC IN SILICON VALLEY FAILED TO REHOOK UP THE RADIATOR RESERVOIR WHILE WORKING ON THE SRS. AFTER DRIVING 699 MILES TO PORTLAND, OR, THE CAR OVERHEATED ON A CITY STREET, WAS IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, AND TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE GARAGE FOUND RADIATOR FLUID TO BE LOW IN THE RADIATOR, REFILLED IT, LET IT IDLE FOR TWO HOURS, AND THE CAR WAS THEN DRIVEN TO SEATTLE, AND IMMEDIATELY TO THE BAY AREA AFTER THAT. WHILE CROSSING THE CALIFORNIA BORDER IN THE MOUNTAINS AND SNOW, THE HEAD GASKET COMPLETELY FAILED, AND THE CAR WAS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE. STATE PATROL GAVE ME A RIDE TO YREKA WHERE I PURCHASED A GALLON OF RADIATOR FLUID FROM BAXTER AUTO PARTS, AND LIMPED BACK TO THE BAY AREA TO HAVE A HEAD GASKET DONE AT THE COLLEGE OF ALAMEDA. THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE SRS REPORTS THE HOSE NOT BEING HOOKED UP WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT THIS CAR WAS MORE PRONE TO HEAD GASKET FAILURE. THE FACT THAT BOTH HEAD GASKETS FAILED WITH THE RESERVOIR NOT BEING HOOKED UP OR OPERABLE RAISES A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AMERICA, BUT HONDA SAYS THEY HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION, NOR HAS A RECALL BEEN FILED. RESEARCH SUGGEST THAT HONDA CIVIC ENGINES FROM 2001-2005 HAVE A MUCH HIGHER INCIDENCE OF HEAD GASKET FAILURES, AND I AM WONDERING WHY HONDA HASN'T RECALLED THE HEAD GASKET?

SPEEDOMETER NOT FUNCTIONING. TRIED RESETTING, BUT TO NO AVAIL. ALL OTHER GAUGES WORK. DIFFERENT GAUGE CLUSTER WORKS FINE

WAS RECENTLY TBONED AT A RED LIGHT, DRIVER DOOR, PASSENGER DOOR AND FRAME DENTED IN. I WAS SPUN AROUND THREE TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. FRONT DRIVER AIRBAG AND PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. WINDOW WON'T ROLL FULLY DOWN, DRIVER AND PASSENGER STICK AND HARD TO OPEN, LOCK MAKES A BUZZING SOUND, SEATBELT NOW STUCK AND SEATBELT INDICATOR DINGS EVEN WHEN FASTENED.

RECENTLY I'VE BEEN SMELLING GAS FUMES FROM UNDER MY CAR EVERY TIME I HAVE THE DOOR OPEN AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. BUT I NOTICED A FEW DAYS AGO THAT IT'S GETTING WORSE BECAUSE I COULD SMELL IT INSIDE THE CABIN OF MY CAR. LAST NIGHT I HAVE THE WINDOWS CLOSED AND AS I OPENED MY DOOR TODAY SEPTEMBER THE 11TH 2020, THE ODOR WAS SO STRONG FUMES OF FUEL. CAN'T THIS BE ONE OF THE REASON FOR A CAR TO GET A RECALL? EXPOSED FUEL INSIDE THE CABIN IS DANGEROUS, ISN'T IT? LUCKILY, MY AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE MY WINDOWS ROLLED UP AND IF I SMOKE A CIGARETTE, THE CAR MIGHT BLOW UP. IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENS TO HONDA A LOT BECAUSE MOST HONDA BETWEEN 2001 TO 2005 VERSION SEEM TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS. ESPECIALLY WATCHING YOUTUBE, THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND THEY ARE SHOWING HOW COMMON THIS IS FOR HONDA CIVIC. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR THIS TO BE A PART BEING RECALLED? MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS! IS THIS JUST PART OF MAINTENANCE EVEN IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION? OR ISN'T IT A FLAW OF THE PARTS BEING USE? I'M NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FORK 300 TO 500 DOLLARS TO PAY THE MECHANIC TO REPAIR THIS, EVEN THOUGH I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT'S DANGEROUS. ONE SPARK CAN BLOW UP MY CAR AND I HAPPEN TO BE DRIVING WITH PASSENGERS OR EVEN JUST MYSELF.

IT STARTED OVER HEATING FIXED WATER PUMP ALTERNATOR BATTERY ALMOST EVERYTHING STILL OVER HEATS THEN I DROVE IT JUST FINE PARKED IT WENT BACK LATER TO DRIVE AND IT WON'T START

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF OF THE ROADWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE HAZZARD LIGHT. THE HAZZARD LIGHT WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND THE HOOD LATCH FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,500.

OVERHEATING LEAD TO CRACKED BLOCK AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. STARTING 2006-? THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES. AFTER LOOKING AT MANY HONDA CIVICS FOR SALE THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM SPANNING MORE YEARS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

"TAKATA RECALL" REPORTS AND VEHICLE SAFETY TEST REPORTS ARE UN-SATISFACTORY WITH THE 2005 HONDA CIVIC. I HAVE REQUESTED FUCCO HONDA TO RESOLVE AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD, AND FUCCO HONDA HAS FAILED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AFTER SERVICE APPOINTMENTS AND SAFETY INSPECTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES DUE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V501000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM SPUN OUT OF CONTROL. WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE SPUN OUT VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION AND NECK INJURIES. THE CONTACT WAS TREATED ON THE SCENE BY EMS AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS TREATED FOR HIS INJURIES AND RELEASED. THE OTHER DRIVER INVOLVED IN THE COLLISION DID NOT SUSTAIN INJURIES. THERE WERE NO OTHER PASSENGERS IN EITHER VEHICLE. A POLICE WAS FILED AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR COSMETIC DAMAGES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V501000 (AIR BAGS) AND THE VIN TOOL CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD KEEPS WARNING ME. I HAVE ASKED THE AMERICAN HONDA SERVICE TECH ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT, BUT THE SERVICE TECH WILL NOT TURN THE AIR BAG LIGHT OFF.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY APPROACHING SOME TRAFFIC, SLOWING FROM ABOUT 60MPH TO A STOP. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN, I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE RPM WAS STAYING RELATIVELY CONSTANT (VEHICLE WAS NOT DOWNSHIFTING), I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING, AND THE BRAKES SEEMED LESS EFFECTIVE AT SLOWING MY VEHICLE. IT ESSENTIALLY FELT AS THOUGH I HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON, BUT IT WASN'T CANCELLED BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO NOT HIT TRAFFIC STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME, BUT HAD TO QUICKLY SWITCH TO NEUTRAL TO STOP COMPLETELY. WHEN I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE RPMS JUMPED UP BEFORE DROPPING BACK DOWN AFTER A FEW SECONDS. I PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE TO MOVE OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. AFTER SHUTTING MY CAR OFF, CHECKING THE FOOT WELL FOR OBVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE/ACCELERATOR PEDALS, AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES, I PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO FUNCTION AS USUAL, SO I REENTERED THE FREEWAY CAUTIOUSLY. ABOUT A QUARTER MILE LATER, AFTER GETTING UP TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC (ABOUT 50 MPH), I NOTICED THE SAME ISSUE: THE CAR MAINTAINED A CONSTANT SPEED EVEN WHEN MY FOOT WAS OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO SLOW BACK DOWN AND GET TO THE SHOULDER, BUT THE ENGINE KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL, THE RPM SPIKED BEFORE SLOWING BACK DOWN TO IDLE. THE CAR IDLES FINE, AND THE ISSUE ISN'T VERY APPARENT AT LOWER SPEEDS. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MY FLOOR MATS WERE NOT ON TOP OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THERE WERE NO OTHER ITEMS IN THE FOOT WELL WHICH MAY HAVE INTERFERED WITH EITHER PEDAL, AND MY FOOT WAS NOT HITTING BOTH PEDALS WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE MOUTH, RIBS, AND NECK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO LARGO HONDA (LOCATED AT 554 NE 1ST AVE, FLORIDA CITY, FL 33034, (844) 329-6036) AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V325000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. *TT*JB

THE HOOD LATCH HAS BROKEN THROUGH NORMAL USE. THE BOTTOM PIECE THAT SECURES TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR BROKE AT THE SCREWS THAT SECURE IT. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS COVERED THROUGH A SAFETY ISSUE OR WARRANTY? I CAN'T ATTACH A PICTURE OR DOCUMENTATION, BECAUSE CURRENTLY MY HOOD IS BEING HELD DOWN BY STRAPS ON THE INSIDE. I HAD NOTICED THE HOOD LIFTING UP WHILE DRIVING AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM AFTER OPENING THE HOOD.

I PAID $4,200 IN A CASHIERS CHECK 9/12/2018 FOR A CAR. OWNER TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN TESTED AND LOOKED OVER BY HIS MECHANICS AND THAT IF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION OCCURRED THAT IT WAS UNDER A GUARANTEE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, 9/13/2018, I HEARD STRANGE SOUNDS FROM ENGINE AND CAR FREQUENTLY JERKED FORWARD. TOOK IT TO SOUTH TACOMA HONDA TO INSPECT VEHICLE FOR $143.13. WAS TOLD VALVES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED AND WOULD COST NEARLY $500. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THE MANAGER NAMED CHOCOLATE. TOLD ME TO TAKE CAR TO 161 GARAGE TO GET FIXED OVER WEEKEND. THAT MONDAY WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T COMPLETE JOB AND TO HAVE HONDA COMPLETE JOB. CHOCOLATE RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO GET CAR TO HONDA TO HAVE THEM ADJUST THE VALVES AND HE WOULD PAY FOR IT WHEN IT WAS FINISHED. HE DID NOT SHOW BACK UP AND BOTH MYSELF AND THE HONDA SERVICE REPS HAD TO CALL HIM FOR PAYMENT. WORKED OUT PAYMENT IN THE MORNING IF HIS DEALERSHIP AGREED. HONDA REP CALLED DEALERSHIP ASKING REPEATEDLY FOR AN OWNER OR MANAGER AND NEVER GOT STRAIGHT ANSWER. WHEN EXPLAINING MY SITUATION AND INQUIRING AUTHORIZATION FOR PAYMENT FROM CHOCOLATE, PERSON ON PHONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP BEGAN BAD MOUTHING THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE SAYING HE WAS A NOBODY AND ADMITTED THEY LIED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE CAR TELLING THE HONDA REP 'SO WHAT.' WAS ABLE TO TAKE CAR BUT WAS TOLD ME TO RETURN IF THE PAYMENT WAS NOT MADE THE NEXT MORNING. THAT MORNING, 9/18/2018, MY GIRLFRIEND AGREED TO DRIVE ME TO WORK AND GO BACK IN IF HONDA CALLED. BUT CAR DIED ON THE FREEWAY NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT AND WAS HARD TO BRAKE. WE WERE LUCKY WE HAD BEEN CLOSE TO SHOULDER SO I COULD VEER AWAY FROM CARS AND OFF THE ROAD. WE HAD TO GET IT OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE HONDA IN RENTON COSTING ANOTHER $15. THEN $148.50 INSPECTION FEE FROM HONDA RENTON AFTER SERVICE REPS FOUND MAJOR ENGINE ISSUES WITH CYLINDER 3 CAUSING THE VALVES TO COME LOOSE OVERNIGHT.

THE CAR WAS TOTALED ON 1/13/2015 THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT BLOW BUT PASSENGER SIDE DID. BOTH OF THE CAR SENSORS HAD BEEN SMASHED IN SINCE THIS WAS A FULL FRONT HIT TO BACK END OF THE CAR IN FRONT. EVEN THE STATE TROOPER ASKED WHY THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT BLOW. NO PASSENGER WAS IN THIS CAR ONLY A DRIVER. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ADDRESSED SINCE THIS ACCIDENT (1/13/15) THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT FELL ASLEEP. WHEN SHE AWOKE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT SHE HAD CROSSED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A SET OF HORSE FENCING POSTS. THE CONTACT WOKE UP AND IMMEDIATELY STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID FURTHER LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS DESTROYED BY A BOARD THAT FRACTURED A HOLE IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND EXITED OUT THE REAR WINDSHIELD, NEARLY STRIKING THE CONTACT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED AN AIR BAG SENSOR FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 250,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA AUTO CENTER OF BELLEVUE (13291 SE 36TH ST, BELLEVUE, WA 98006, (425) 641-3055). THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE; THEREFORE, THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

I'M NOT REALLY SENDING A COMPLAINT. I JUST KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS TOTALED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2009 SO THE VEHICLE NO LONGER EXISTS. PLEASE REMOVE IT FROM THE RECALL LIST. THANK YOU.

I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE ISSUE. A WEEK AFTER BEING REPLACED A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY DASH , I LOOKED UP THE WARNING AND FOUND OUT IT WAS RELATED TO THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT! I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A OIL CHANGE AND TOLD SERVICE ABOUT WARNING LIGHT, WHEN FINISHED WITH OIL CHANGE I RECEIVED A LIST OF CAR ISSUES TO REPAIR BUT NOTHING ABOUT MY AIR BAG WARNING WHICH IS STILL ON.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS BUT EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS OR THEY WILL CALL ME BACK WHENEVER THEY CAN HELP ME. I CAN'T EVEN USE MY CAR WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SCARED TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. I CAN ONLY DRIVE IT ALONE. THIS HAS BECOME A REAL HASSLE.

TAKATA RECALL. WARNING ICON FOR SEAT BELT/ AIRBAG IS ON. UPON DIAGNOSIS CODE, 9-3 CAME UP.

HAVE HAD FRONT AND PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAGS REMOVED AND REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT THE (4-DOOR) DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (FRONT ONLY) HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED, AS FAR AS MY RESEARCH TELLS ME. THE CAR, WITH APPROX. 55,000 MILES ON IT, JUST SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY NEVER USED SINCE. I HAD THE EXPENSE AND INCONVENIENCE OF LEASING A SUBARU FORESTER TO BE SAFE. I CANNOT SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF THE SIDE DOOR AIRBAGS WOULD KILL SOMEONE I SELL IT TO. IT IS NOT SAFE. IF I COULD AT LEAST HAVE THEM REMOVED, THAT WOULD BE SAFER THAN HAVING METAL PIECES ALL OVER ME IN A SIDE IMPACT. SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT, HELP!

DEALERSHIP (SPREEN HONDAY OF REDLANDS CALIFORNIA) FAILED TO COMPLETE AIRBAG REPAIR (DAMAGED OTHER PARTS DURING "REPAIR") AND HONDA OF AMERICA WON'T GET INVOLVED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP DAMAGED INTEGRITY OF DASH BY HACKING OUT AN UNSEEN SECTION AS SHORTCUT, USED DUCT TAPE FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING, AND LEFT A PIECE OF DASH PADDING IN MY AC SYSTEM. THIS WAS DISCOVERED JUNE 2018 WHEN CHANGING CABIN AIR FILTER.

HONDA CIVIC AIR BAG NEVER REPLACED NEVER NOTIFIED

TAKATA RECALL PASSENGER/DRIVER FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY WERE NOT RECALLED WHEN SAME YEAR ACCORDS WERE AND ARE TAKATA. THE FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED YEARS AGO. I NEVER DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF A SIDE IMPACT AND CANNOT SELL IT TO ANYONE KNOWING THE DANGER INVOLVED IN A COLLISION.

AIR BAG LITE IS ON

I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE FRONT DASHBOARD TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THE PAST AND HAD THEM REPLACED PROMPTLY. HOWEVER, THAT MODEL CIVIC SIDE AIRBAGS ATTACHED TO THE TWO FRONT DOORS WERE NOT RECALLED, EVEN THOUGH THE 2005 ACCORDS WERE. ONLY HAVE APPROX. 55,000 MILES. CAN I GET THEM REMOVED FROM DOORS? VERY RELUCTANT TO SELL TO ANYONE BECAUSE OF DANGER IF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO LEASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND LET IT SIT IN DRIVEWAY BECAUSE OF ABOVE. OTHERWISE, IT IS AN EXCELLENT OLD CAR.

THE CAR GIVING WEIRD SOUND AND WELL AS SOMETIMES IT'S SHOWING THE AIRBAG INDICATOR EVEN AFTER RECALL SO PLEASE HELP

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON STEADILY IN HIGHWAY, STATIONARY OR IN MOTION

2005 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN , IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE , KEY WILL NOT TURN EITHER WAY IN IGNITION , DROVE TO STORE ,, WHEN I CAME OUT OF STORE ,, IGNITION WAS LOCKED UP ,, HONDA HAD IGNITION SWITCH RECALL ,, WHEN I CALLED THEM , THEY SAID IT WASN'T ON LIST OF RECALLS , THO THEY HAD OVER 1 MILLION REPLACED IN OTHER VEHICLES ,,, SOMEHOW IN HONDA'S THEORY , MY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT , GO FIGURE !!

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL ON SEPTEMBER 1 2015 I HAD A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT DOWN A EMBANKMENT. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I FLIPPED OFF A CLIFF & ROLLED, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK!!

I USE TO HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON IN ON THE GEAR SHIFT TO GET IT TO GO INTO GEAR. NOW YOU CAN JUST FREELY PUSH IT BACK AND FORTH.

TAKATA RECALL - RECENTLY MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS APPEARED LIT ON MY DASHBOARD. I WAS PARKED AND NOTICED IT AS I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE YET. I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE A RECALL SO I CAN HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

'TAMARA RECALL'

I HAD COMMON WEALTH MOTORS IN LAWRENCE MASSACHUSETTS REPLACE MY AIR BAG IN ON 08/05/2015 DUE TO MANY POST CARD WARNINGS I KEPT RECEIVING BY MAIL. SOON AFTER, A LIGHT INDICATING MY SEAT BELT CONNECTED TO MY AIRBAG CONTINUES TO STAY ON. I WENT BACK TO COMMON WEALTH MOTORS BECAUSE OF AN INSPECTION STICKER ISSUE WITH THIS LIGHT PROBLEM AND THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO PAY OVER 500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE AS WELL AS SHUT THE LIGHT OFF. IT IS 12/8/17 AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

THE CAR TURNED ON THE AIR BAG LIGHT

THE CLEAR COAT IS PEELING ALL OVER THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AND A HALF AGO. I KNOW THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS IN THE 2006 MODEL AND THINK IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED.

PAINT IS PEELING FROM THE ROOF...HONDA AMERICAN SAID NO HELP CAUSE OF THE AGE....BUT ONLY 38K AND GARAGE KEPT IT SHOULD NEVER PEEL NO MATTER WHAT AGE AND EXCELLENT CONDITON OF THE VEHICLE

ON 7-26-2017 THE CAR WAS INVOLVED ON A CAR ACCIDENT, PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATED AT POINT OF ACCIDENT IMPACT, BUT THE DRIVER AIR BAG DID NOT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER IN WHITTIER PREVIOUSLY TO BE REPLACED, BUT APPARENTLY DID NOT INFLATED AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT IMPACT.

FILLED FUEL TANK ON MY WAY TO WORK, AFTER DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY COULD SMELL FUEL, THOUGHT IT COULD JUST BE RESIDUAL ON MY HANDS SINCE I JUST FILLED UP. WENT TO LUNCH AND SMELLED FUEL AGAIN ONLY STRONGER NOW, WHEN I BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE TO RETURN TO WORK I NOTICED A LARGE WET SPOT UNDER MY CAR, GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER MY CAR, COULD SEE BOTTOM OF FUEL TANK WAS WET. DROVE TO WORK, REMOVED MY REAR SEAT TO ACCESS TOP OF TANK, NOTICED FUEL WAS LEAKING OUT OF TOP OF FUEL PUMP WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON, WENT TO HONDA DEALER NEAR MY WORK AND PURCHASED A PUMP, PARTS ASSOCIATE MENTIONED THEY FAIL REGULARLY, SEEMS TO ME THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL FOR A FUEL LEAK THAT HAPPENS REGULARLY.

I WAS HEADING HOME ON 4/30/2017 APPROX 2 MINS AWAY WHEN MY CAR WAS CUT OFF FROM ANOTHER SUV CUT INFRONT OF ME. SHE MISJUDGED THE DISTANCE AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY CRASHED INTO HER CAR. I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MPH MAYBE A LITTLE MORE. AFTER THE CRASH MY CAR HAD COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEFLATE ALL THE WAY.

DRIVING THE LIGHT ON D START FLASHING THE CAR WOULDNT MOVE SO I PUT IT IN 2 IT BARELY MOVE I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED A SHIFT SUTHERLINE A AND NOBOFY IN JAMAICA HAS IT NOW IM OUT OF A CAR

TAKATA RECALL I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE IN ALL THE RECALLS SINCE *I CARRY INFANTS, CHILDREN, AND ADULTS AS PASSENGERS!* WITH SO MANY OTHER YEARS BEFORE AND AFTER MINE WAS MADE ARE INCLUDED. MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND MY MECHANIC SAID THAT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL I HAD LET MY BROTHER USED MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC HE WAS DRIVING IN A CITY ROAD SOMEONE RUN A RED LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE IMPACT THE OTHER VEHICLE CAUSING DR AIRBAG TO DEPLOY METALS CAME OUT OF AIRBAG AND GOT CUTS ON HIS NECK LOST A LOT OF BLOOD AND WAS RUSH TO THE HOSPITAL HE WAS LUCKY

I'VE BEEN NOTICING THAT THE PAINT ON MY CAR IS SLOWLY PEELING OFF OF MY HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK. THE HOOD IS THE WORST. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THIS CAN BE FIXED? THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

DASH AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL TIME FROM ABOUT TWO MONTHS.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK FROM HONDA AMERICA TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IN MY HONDA CIVIC AND HONDA CRV. I AM STATIONED WITH THE MILITARY IN GERMANY. THE HONDA DEALER IN STUTTGART, GERMANY WILL NOT ORDER PARTS OR REPLACE THE AIRBAGS UNTIL THEY HAVE PAPERWORK FROM HONDA AMERICA. TO COMPLICATE MATTERS I WILL MOVE BACK TO AMERICA IN 3 MONTHS, AND PLAN TO SHIP BOTH VEHICLES. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTATION COMMAND STATES IT WILL NOT SHIP MY VEHICLES WITH OPEN RECALL OR SAFETY ISSUES. I NEED TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WITHOUT THE RECALL REPAIRED I WILL BE FORCED TO LEAVE MY CARS HERE IN GERMANY. I SUBMITTED MY INITIAL REQUEST TO HONDA ON 26 OCT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL THE JOLIET DODGE SUPERSTORE AT 3225 PLAINFIELD ROAD IN JOLIET, ILLINOIS, 60431 SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED MY DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. SINCE THAT TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON. IT IS CLEAR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG THAT THEY EITHER INSTALLED OR CAUSED. THEY NOW REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER THEY CAUSED OR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT INSTEAD WANT ME TO PAY $700 TO FIX THE AIR BAG. I REPORT THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY ANY MONEY FOR AN AIR BAG THAT IS BEING RECALLED THAT THEY WERE NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO EVEN FIX! PLEASE CONTACT THEM AND ASK THEM WHY THEY ARE CHARGING PEOPLE FOR AIR BAG WORK !

TRUNK LID LATCH MALFUNCTION. LID DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY CAUSING IT TO OPEN WHEN SEATS & WINDOWS ARE DOWN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE NYLON INSIDE THE LATCH HAS WORKED IT'S WAY OUT CAUSING THE LATCH TO BIND AND NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, THUS MAKING THE TRUNK NOT ACTUALLY LOCKED. IS A SECURITY RISK AND ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IF YOU HAD A LOT OF BELONGINGS IN THE TRUNK THEY WOULD BE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED ALTHOUGH NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THAT SEAT AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS IN HOSPITAL FOR FRACTURED RIBS. CAR IS TOTALED. I WAS DRIVING AND HIT A TURNING CAR ON THE STREET.

NOTICEABLE GAS SMELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN ENGINE TURNED OFF. DIAGNOSED BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. 2" CRACK ON PLASTIC COVER OF FUEL PUMP MODULE. REPAIR COST OVER $400. HE INDICATED THAT HE HAS HAD 3 HONDAS W/ THIS ISSUE IN 2 WEEKS. THIS WOULD SEEM A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY W/ THE PLACEMENT OF THIS UNIT UNDER THE REAR SEAT. FORTUNATELY NO SMOKERS IN THIS CAR. THE SMELL HAD BEEN SLIGHTLY NOTICEABLE FOR ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS BUT BECAME STRONGER AFTER A TRIP W/ LONGER DRIVE TIMES THAN DAILY USAGE. A 6-10 MPG DECREASE BECAME OBVIOUS AT THIS TIME AS WELL.

SRS INTERNAL UNIT FAILURE AT 79K MILES. CAR IS 2005 HONDA CIVIC AND ACCORDING TO GOOGLE SEARCHES AND CIVIC FORUMS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES (NOT JUST CIVICS) AND HONDA QUOTES A $800+ PRICE TO REPAIR RATHER THAN STANDING BY THEIR VEHICLES. WITH THE SRS LIGHT ON, THE AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK, CAR CANNOT BY SMOGGED, AND IS A SERIOUS HAZARD TO THE DRIVE AND OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR IS MADE. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT LESSEN THE COST, NOR HELP COVER THE REPAIR IN ANY WAY.

REPLACED AIRBAG LESS THAN A YEAR AGO ON A RECALL. THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT NOW REMAINS ON. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED IS THERE NOT A WARRANTY THAT WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG AND THE SENSOR THAT CONTROLS IT?

CAR LOCKS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY WHEN CAR KEY IS INSIDE. IF YOU PUT YOUR CHILD INSIDE AND CAR KEY IS INSIDE WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO CLOSE BACK DOOR AFTER PUTTING YOUR CHILD IN CAR SEAT AND COME TO DRIVE DOOR, CAR LOCKS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY ON CLOSING BACK DOOR EVEN REMOTE KEY IS INSIDE. ESSENTIALLY IT LOCKS YOUR CHILD INSIDE CAR UNTIL YOU BRAKE WINDOW OR CALL SOMEBODY TO OPEN CAR FOR YOU. IMAGINE IT HAPPENS IN HOT SUMMER AND YOUR BABY LOCKS INSIDE THE CAR.

KEY DOES NOT WORK IN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM, AND IT SHOWED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATER FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE INTERIORS AND EXTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

K20A3 CAMSHAFT LOBES HAVE PITS/GALLING ON THEM. THEY MAKE A LOUD TICKING/TAPPING NOISE. POSSIBLE DECREASE IN GAS MILEAGE, POOR PERFORMANCE, AND RELIABILITY ISSUE. IF LEFT UNINTENDED COULD CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO ENGINE. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE K20A3 ENGINES MANUFACTURE DEFECT. HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL , I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 18 MILES FROM HOME AND HEARD A SCRUBBING SOUND THEN NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM FRONT OF MY CAR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED ENGINE OFF. A CITY POLICEMAN STOPPED AND TOLD ME THE NAME OF A WRECKER SERVICE NEARBY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE IT WAS PUT UP ON A LIFT . THE MECHANIC NOTED A PIECE OF METAL BULGING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BLOCK LOOKING FROM UNDER THE CAR AND TOWARD THE FRONT..THERE WAS OIL SPLATTERS FROM THAT AREA ALSO. THE PIECE OF METAL CAME FROM BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE AIR CONDITIONER. THERE HAD TO HAVE BEEN A DEFECT IN THE BLOCK FOR IT TO BREAK A PIECE OF THE BLOCK OFF IN THIS MANNER. THE PIECE WAS ABOUT 2 INCHES WIDE BY 4 INCHES LONG. WE HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW WHAT WAS FOUND. THERE WERE TWO MECHANIC WITNESSES PLUS A POLICEMAN THAT SAW THE DAMAGE.THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING HOT NOR LOW IN OIL. THE BLOCK JUST A DEFECT. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE ENTERING A PARKING AREA, THE VEHICLE UNINTENDLY ACCELERATED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A PARKED, UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUFFER ANY INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE A FAILURE CODE WAS LOCATED AT THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

PAINT IS PEELING ON THE TOP, DOORS, HOOD, AND TRUNK. ALSO, LARGE AREAS OF THE CLEAR COAT ARE DEGRADING. THE PAINT PEELS DOWN TO THE PRIMER. I DON'T SEE ANY RUST, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT STARTS WITHOUT PAINT TO PROTECT IT.

HONDA IS NOT TAKING THE TAKATA PROBLEM SERIOUSLY, AND THEY ARE SHOWING NO URGENCY TO GET THESE AIRBAGS FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR, LANDMARK HONDA IN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, WILL NOT DO RECALL REPAIRS ON SATURDAY. THEY APPEAR TO BE COMPLETELY INDIFFERENT TO THE DANGER OF THE TAKATA PROBLEM. THE MAIN HONDA NUMBER PUT ME ON HOLD FOR A LONG TIME, SO I EVENTUALLY GAVE UP TRYING TO REACH THEM. NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE THE DEALERSHIPS TO DO THESE AIRBAGS REPAIRS ON WEEKENDS SO THAT CAR OWNERS WILL BRING IN THEIR CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A TIRE FAILED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE BACK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED. SHORTLY AFTER THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG WAS FIXED THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINS ON TO THIS DAY. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED I RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SECOND RECALL I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON. THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THE RELAY LOCATED IN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $403. UPON MY RESEARCH OF THE INTERNET AND SPEAKING WITH OTHERS WHO ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL AIR BAGS WERE FIXED, IS SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HONDA DISAGREES THAT THIS IS ANY CAUSE THAT THEY HAVE DONE....JUST COINCIDENCE THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS ARE FIXED. HONDA CLAIMS THAT IT IS A RELAY SWITCH LOCATED IN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. IT JUST SEEMS TO BE SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER THE AIR BAGS PROBLEM IS FIXED. I TRIED TO TELL THEM ALSO THAT MY CAR HAS A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON THE SEAT BELT. THEY DECLINED TO FIX IT, SAYING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. SO I ASKED THEM WHAT IT MEANS SINCE THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON IN THE DASH. HONDA SAYS THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT, SINCE THE AIR BAGS CANNOT TELL THAT THE SEAT BELT IS BUCKLED. SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE DASH LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THEY TRIED TO FIX THE AIR BAGS. THE REMEDY FOR THIS ACCORDING TO HONDA IS A NEW SEAT BELT BUCKLE OF WHICH THEY WILL NOT COVER IN THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT AUTO MAKERS HAD TO FIX SAFETY FEATURES THAT MALFUNCTION.

A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED.

ON FRIDAY, JULY 31, 2015 I BROUGHT MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC EX [WHICH WAS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION WITH NO SRS OR MIL LIGHTS ON] TO HONDA OF KINGSTON ON BROADWAY TO BE SERVICED ON AUGUST 1ST FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR ON MONDAY, AUGUST 3RD THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WENT WELL AND THAT THEY HAD ALSO PERFORMED A "COMPLIMENTARY INSPECTION" OF MY TIRES, BREAKS, FLUIDS ETC. -- SOMETHING THEY NEVER INFORMED ME THEY PLANNED ON DOING, SOMETHING I WOULD HAVE NEVER CONSENTED TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY ALSO FAILED TO INFORM ME THAT MY SRS LIGHT WAS NOW ON, AND WHAT THAT MEANS. I PULLED OVER ON MY WAY HOME TO CALL AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE LIGHT AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIT ME IN UNTIL THURSDAY, AUGUST 6TH TO DIAGNOSE IT. DRIVING HOME, MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND RATTLING AND BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE NEAREST AVAILABLE MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THE LUG NUTS ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WERE NOT SECURED PROPERLY BY THE TECHNICIANS AT HONDA OF KINGSTON, AND IT WAS CLOSE TO FALLING OFF. THEY FIXED AND SECURED THE TIRE FOR ME AND I NOTIFIED HONDA OF THE INCIDENT. THEY AGREED TO PAY THE COST OF SECURING THE TIRE, HOWEVER THEY INFORMED ME THAT DIAGNOSING MY SRS LIGHT WILL COST ME $107, AND DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS, COULD COST A FEW HUNDRED TO A THOUSAND MORE. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OR THE SRS LIGHT, UNTIL IT WAS SERVICED BY HONDA OF KINGSTON. THE SRS LIGHT OBVIOUSLY INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL WORK WAS NOT PERFORMED CORRECTLY, AND NOW THE DEALER IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE ME TO REPAIR IT. NOT ONLY COULD I HAVE CRASHED DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE TECHNICIANS AND THEIR INABILITY TO EVEN SECURE A TIRE PROPERLY, BUT MY SRS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG, EVEN THOUGH I WAS ASSURED WHEN I LEFT WITH MY CAR THAT EVERYTHING WENT WELL AND MY CAR WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE HONDA DEALER IN HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA BY APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR WITH THEM INDEFINITELY FOR NO MORE THAN 30 DAYS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH "BAGS" TO MAKE THE RECALL REPAIR. THIS CREATES A HARDSHIP FOR ME BECAUSE I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK, GROCERY SHOPPING AND EMERGENCIES SHOULD ONE OCCUR. I COMPLIED BY MAKING AN APPOINTMENT, WAITING UNTIL THAT DAY UNDER RISK OF ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG, AND SHOWING UP ON TIME. THE HONDA REP. DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE MY APPOINTMENT AND INFORMED ME THAT I CAN LEAVE THE CAR OR REFUSE TO LEAVE IT. I AM CURRENTLY STRANDED WITHOUT A CAR WITH NO IDEA WHEN I WOULD GET MY CAR BACK AND I WAS NOT GIVEN A RECEIPT OR DOCUMENT STATING THAT I HAD LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY A BUSINESS CARD FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOOK POSSESSION OF MY CAR. I FEEL THIS INTERRUPTS MY ABILITY TO SURVIVE AND PUTS ME IN DANGER SHOULD AN EMERGENCY OCCUR AND I NEED TO GET TO A HOSPITAL. IT IS NOT MY ERROR AND I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED INTO THIS PRECARIOUS POSITION BY THREAT OF VOIDING HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS FAULT IN THE CAR BY REFUSING TO LEAVE IT AT THE HONDA SHOP FOR UP TO 30 DAYS.

THEY SAID IF THE PROBLEM CAME UP AGAIN BEFORE 109,000 MILES THEY WOULD HAVE TO ?BURNISH? THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT I DIDN?T REALIZE IS THAT THE DETERGENT CLEANING WAS A ?BAND-AID? FIX SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD AVOID THE MORE COSTLY FIXES THEY WERE OBLIGATED TO PERFORM UNDER THE TERMS OF THE LAWSUIT. THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY AGAIN. I WOULD HAVE THE FLUID REPLACED MORE THAT NORMAL DURING SERVICE VISITS. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN AT 124,700 MILES. NOW THEY DON?T WANT TO COVER THE COST BECAUSE IT IS NOW LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, OR COVERED BY THE TERMS OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY FRAUD. THEY DID A CHEAP INEFFECTIVE CLEANING IN ORDER TO AVOID AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. ALSO, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS, I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY.

**I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME TAIL-LIGHTING FAILURE ON DOZENS OF SEVENTH-GENERATION HONDA CIVICS NOW ON THE ROAD.** MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC 4-DR SEDAN FAILED ITS 2013 VIRGINIA SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE THE LICENSE-PLATE LIGHT AND TRUNK-LOCATED BRAKE LIGHTS (OF WHICH THERE ARE TWO) WERE NOT WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO LANDMARK HONDA OF ALEXANDRIA, VA., AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE WIRING IN THE CAR'S TRUNK WAS BROKEN. THEY SOLDERED THE WIRE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN FEBRUARY 2014 I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOOK THE SEDAN TO MY LOCAL DEALER IN BOSTON, MASS., WHERE I NOW LIVE (HONDA CARS OF BOSTON). THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE SOLDERING HAD FAILED AND THEY REPLACED A TRUNK WIRING HARNESS TO BETTER RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I SPENT APPROXIMATELY $500 BETWEEN THE TWO REPAIR JOBS AT THE TWO HONDA DEALERS. I AM CONCERNED THAT ALL SEVENTH-GENERATION HONDA CIVICS MAY SUFFER FROM A WIRING DEFECT THAT AFFECTS VEHICLES' VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE BLEW A HEAD GASKET AND OVER HEATED. PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY RICK MARICHETTI AUTO THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH THE HONDA CIVIC EX 1.7 LITER ENGINE, AND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IS A MULTILAYER HEAD GASKET THAT HONDA USES. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO INSTALL NEW HEAD GASKETS THAT ARE NOT MULTILAYER. IN MY CASE, THE HEAD GASKET CREATED A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OVER. AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH LITTLE NOTICE AT APPROXIMATELY 4300 FEET, WITH SNOW AND FREEZING COLD WEATHER.

TAG AND REAR RUNNING LIGHTS FAILED 11/28/2012. RICK CASE HONDA DEALER SAID THE ENTIRE REAR TAIL LIGHT HARNESS WAS BRITTLE DUE TO AGE AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $ 228 LABOR AND $186 FOR THE PARTS. IN MY MIND THIS MAIN HARNESS IS POORLY DESIGNED FOR THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD HAVE CONNECTORS THAT ALLOW REPAIR FOR LESS COST TO CONSUMER SINCE TAIL LIGHTS ARE SAFETY ISSUE AND I OBSERVE A NUMBER OF HONDA CIVICS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH FAILED OR FAILING TAIL LIGHTS. I THINK THE WIRING HARNESS SHOULD BE HIGHER GRADE WIRE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS OR HAVE CONNECTORS ADDED TO INSURE REPAIRS ARE EASY TO CONDUCT FOR THE DO IT YOURSELF REPAIRS OR IMPROVE THE DESIGN SO FAILURES DUE NOT OCCUR WITH AGE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE TOLD MY HONDA DEALER'S SERVICES TEAM NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE LOOKED INTO IT BUT NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE IT (I NOTICE IT OCCURING 1-2X/MO). THE MOST THEY COULD CONJECTURE IS THAT THE COMPUTER LOCATED IN THE WHEEL MISCALCULATES WHEN ONE OF THE TIRES MOVES OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE AND THEN RECALCULATES IT WHEN BOTH TIRES ARE ON THE SAME SURFACE AGAIN. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE, BUT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ALWAYS RE-APPLY THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY IN ORDER TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING (I HAVE COME CLOSE SEVERAL TIMES).

DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS ON 2005 HONDA CIVIC. REPLACED 3 VISORS, BUT EACH CONTINUES TO BREAK AND DANGLE DANGEROUSLY IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S FACE. *TR

2005 HONDA CIVIC - UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS DURING THE 8 OR 9 MONTHS THAT I OWNED IT. MILEAGE WAS ONLY 40,000 MILES. DEALER SAID I WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE BUT, IN 60 YEARS OF DRIVING, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I SOLD IT BACK TO THE DEALER (AT A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS) BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK MY FAMILY. MY REPLACEMENT CAR, CHEVROLET HHR, DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DISTRICT MANAGER FOR HONDA HAS INFORMED MY ST. LOUIS DEALER THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT, ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET, IT WAS THROUGH 2004. *TR

ON 2/26/10, I HAD 4 NEW TIRES INSTALLED IN MY 2005 CIVIC; AT 56,000 MILES. EVEN PURCHASED THE WARRANTY. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, I FELT A VERY MILD VIBRATION BETWEEN 48-52 MPH. I DIDN'T MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL OF IT THEN. THE PAST 6 WEEKS OR SO, ABOUT 60,000 MILES, THE CIVIC'S VIBRATING HAS GOTTEN WORSE BETWEEN 48-52MPH. I TOOK IT FOR IT'S MAINTENANCE, HAD EVERYTHING DONE, ESPECIALLY THE BREAK ROTORS AND ALIGNMENT. THE VIBRATING HAS NOT STOPPED. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE CAR WAS CHECKED, AND FELT THE VIBRATING. CAR WAS RE-ALIGNED, THE SAID IT WAS THE REAR STRUTS. I HAD THEM REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT AUTO MECHANIC, THEN HAD IT RE-ALIGNED ONCE MORE TO ANOTHER AUTO MECHANIC. STILL VIBRATES. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO INSTALLED THE REAR STRUTS. HE DID A TEST DRIVE, AND BALANCED THE TIRES. THE VIBRATING IS STILL THERE. NOW IT'S BETWEEN 48-60MPH AT RANDOM. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT, SOMETIMES IT'S MILD, SOMETIMES IT STRONGER, DEPENDING AFTER MY APPLY THE BRAKES. THE VIBRATING OCCURS UNDER THE SEATS, FLOOR, REAR, SOME IS FELT VERY MILDLY ON THE DASHBOARD. COULD BE SINCE THE REST OF THE CAR IS VIBRATING. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND MADE A CLICKING NOISE. WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED OCCASIONALLY THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. SHE REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V364000, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION, AND SHE CONTACTED HONDA WHO STATED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS WERE IDENTICAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

2005 HONDA CIVIC EX AUTOMATIC CHOKE COMES ON EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR --EVEN IF YOU DON'T NEED IT. AFTER IT COMES ON, YOU CAN'T SHUT IT OFF MANUALLY. NOT ONLY DOES THE CHOKE NEEDLESSLY COME ON, BUT IT COMES ON AT AN RPM THAT IS TOO HIGH. IT NEEDLESSLY BURNS FUEL, BUT ALSO PRESENTS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND CAUSES YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION IS THAT THE CHOKE NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED IN THREE WAYS: 1) MANUALLY CHOKE SHUT OFF (WITH HANDLE, ACCELERATOR PEDAL, OR BUTTON), 2) 5TH GEAR DOESN'T DROP RPM SUFFICIENTLY AND CAR DOESN'T GET GOOD GAS MILEAGE, 3) VTECH ENGINE NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A VTECH-E, SO THAT THE ENGINE GETS BETTER FUEL ECONOMY AT THE SLOWER SPEEDS AND MEET BOTH THE PUBLIC'S AND FEDERAL MILEAGE EXPECTATIONS. HONDA OFFERS VTECH-E, BUT THEY ONLY PROVIDE THIS ENGINE SERIES TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO BUY THE DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAM, SUCH AS THAT FOUND IN THE CIVIC SI OR IN SOME ACCORDS. THE SEATS IN THE 2005 HONDA CIVIC EX ARE DANGEROUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE AND POORLY DESIGNED. HONDA GIVES YOU NOTHING MORE THAN A BLOCK OF RUBBER TO SIT ON, WHICH CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION DUE TO A LACK OF HEAT DISSIPATION WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT SEATS ARE TOO FAR FORWARD AND SOMEONE OVER 5'9" IS GOING TO HAVE DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE CAR -- PARTICULARLY WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE LACK OF SPRINGS IN THE FRONT AND REAR SEATS POTENTIALLY CAUSES SPINAL INJURIES, DUE TO ROAD SHOCKS NOT BEING ABSORBED, FOR PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. A CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY SHOP ADVISES ME THEY CAN'T UNBOLT THE SEATS BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS WILL GO OFF BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS HAVE DISTANCE SENSING. NOT ONLY IS THIS LUDICROUS, BUT OFFERS NO CONSUMER SAFETY. A QUICK REVIEW OF THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH THE 2005 HONDA CIVIC EX SE REVEALS THAT THE 2001 IS SIGNIFICANTLY SAFER TO OPERATE THAN THE 2005 CIVIC . THE 2001 CIVIC HAS FOUR AIR BAGS IN THE FRONT, INCLUDING SIDE AIRBAGS IN BOTH DOORS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE (APPROX. 70 MPH) WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. MY IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS TO DUCK. I LOOKED OVER MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND SAW MY BACKSEAT WINDOW CRUMBLING...THEN IT BEGAN CIRCULATING THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. THE ENTIRE WINDOW WAS DESTROYED. ONCE I PULLED OVER, I CALLED THE POLICE. HE EXAMINED THE CAR AND DID NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF A GUNSHOT, ROCK OR ANY OTHER PROJECTILE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC LX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE CONTACT STATED THAT A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING EIGHT TO TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION INTO A FIELD. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED THREE BROKEN RIBS, BROKEN BREAST BONE AND SEVERAL BRUISES. HE ALSO HAD BRUISES ON HIS SHOULDER THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED. THE CONTACT WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR SEVEN DAYS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 23,887.

2005 HONDA CIVIC WITH 60,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. REPLACED REAR TIRES ABOUT 10,000 MILES AGO, AND THE NEW TIRES ARE CUPPED ON THE INSIDE, CAUSING EXTREME NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR AND SOME VIBRATION. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WORE VERY WELL. REAR TIRE WEAR IS SIGNIFICANT. NEW FRONT TIRES ARE WEARING EVENLY. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON IN HONDA CIVICS. *TR

2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 42,000 MILES. CAR WILL NOT SHIFT IN ANY GEAR. CONTACT HONDA AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVE, AND HONDA WILL NOT COVERED THIS INCIDENT UNDER WARRANTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. $4,500 ~ $5,200 REPLACEMENT JOB AT LOCAL HONDA DEALER. MOST HORRIBLE CAR I'D EVER OWN!!! VERY DISAPPOINT WITH HONDA. BUYERS BEWARE WITH HONDA HYBRID MODEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING INTO A MERGING LANE AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 87,000.

I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CIVIC NEW. THE VEHICLE NOW BELONGS TO MY SON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO MY SON WAS STOPPED BY THE POLICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DUE TO THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT AND ALL OF THE TAIL LIGHTS BEING IN-OP. IT WAS TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE BULBS DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THE LIGHT STILL DID NOT WORK. THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MEINEKE FOR STATE INSPECTION AND OF COURSE IT COULD NOT PASS DUE TO THE LIGHTS. WHEN THE MECHANIC LOOK AT THE WIRING IT HAD BEEN SLICED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AND TAPED BACK TOGETHER. THE WIRING HAD EITHER BEEN JIMMIED APART, OR SOMETHING SNAGGED THEM. I NEVER ADDED ANYTHING TO THE CAR. IT BELONG TO ME UNTIL SEPT LAST YEAR. IT IS APPARENT IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY THIS WAY. IT COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO CORRECT. HONDA IS NOT HELPING ME WITH THIS. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING MODERATELY, OFTEN WHILE TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY OR EVEN WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED UP A HILL, OUR 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY REV UP TO REDLINE RPM (IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT REPRODUCE THIS EVENT. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, THIS STARTED HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN -- EVERY DAY IN PREDICTABLE LOCATIONS ON OUR DRIVING ROUTE. IN ADDITION, A JUDDER DEVELOPED WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THIS LATTER ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED BY HONDA AND A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS PUT OUT. THE JUDDER MADE THE CAR NEARLY UNDRIVABLE, SO WE AGAIN TOOK THE CAR IN. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED AND THE CLUTCH PLATES WERE BURNISHED. THE TRANMISSION SLIPPAGE AND ENGINE REVVING DISAPPEARED. NOW, 5 MONTHS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION SLIP WITH ENGINE REVVING HAS RETURNED AS WELL AS THE JUDDER STARTING AGAIN. WE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO THE COST HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE SO FAR, HOWEVER OUR WARRANTY EXPIRES IN JUNE 2010. WE ARE MAINLY CONCERNED WITH THE REPEATED APPEARANCE OF THE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIP/ENGINE REVVING CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON AN ON-RAMP OR PASS A CAR ON A TWO-LANE ROAD. IF THE ENGINE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE PASSING A CAR, IT MAY HAVE TRAGIC RESULTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 25 MPH ON ICY ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECREASE IN SPEED AND SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DECIDED TO CONTINUE DRIVING FORWARD WITH HER FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. LATER, THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND SHE BEGAN TAPPING THE PEDAL UNTIL THE RPMS DECREASED. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITHIN THE THROTTLE SYSTEM. THE FAILURE HAS NOT RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,662 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 30,000. UPDATED 5/24/10 *CN UPDATED 07/07/10.*JB

WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY FROM A STOP, THE CAR MAKES A HUGE GRINDING NOISE--HEARD MOSTLY IN THE FRONT END. WHEN ACCELERATING SLOWLY, NO NOISE IS HEARD. THE CAR ALSO SLIPS HORRIBLY ON WET OR SLIPPERY PAVEMENT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER SAY "THIS IS A NORMAL SOUND" WHEN IT FAILED WHEN THEY TESTED IT (I HAVE RECORDED THIS IN MY FILES AT THE DEALER WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY) AND ALSO WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH ANY OF THE FRONT END PARTS AND DIAGNOSED IT AS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND OR FIX. *TR

LAST AUGUST 2009, I EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO BRAKING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKES AND DOCUMENTED IT WAS REPAIRED. THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER AND THIS TIME, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE ADVISED ME IN WRITING TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND TO BRING IT BACK. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I HASSLED WITH THEM AND THE NATIONAL AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT NO SATISFACTION, NO REPAIR. IN THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTATION THEY TRIED TO CLAIM THAT MY BRAKE SHOES WERE WORN OUT, BUT THAT WAS NOT TRUE AS THEY HAD BEEN INSTALLED JUST ONE MONTH BEFORE AND SUBSEQUENTLY WHEN INDEPENDENT MECHANICS LOOKED AT THEM, THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKE SHOES AND ROTORS WERE FINE. INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ADVISED ME TO GET THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER CHANGED. FOR 3 MONTHS I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR, I DOCUMENTED THE PROBLEM IN DETAIL AND TRIED TO PERSUADE HONDA TO FIX IT. THEIR FLAT OUT REFUSAL BY DENYING THERE WAS A PROBLEM (I HAD THE CAR TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALER AFTER EACH EPISODE OF BRAKE FAILURE) WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. FINALLY, IN OCTOBER 2009, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER GARAGE AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT FAILED SINCE, BUT WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE OTHER DAY, IT SEEMED THAT THE PEDAL WAS ONCE AGAIN SLOWLY CREEPING TOWARD THE FLOOR. THIS IS HOW THE PROBLEM HAD STARTED SO I'M WONDERING IF IT TRULY HAS BEEN FIXED. I HAVE MUCH DOCUMENTATION OF THE ABOVE EVENTS. THE NEWS OF THE RECALL THAT JUST OCCURRED WITH HONDA VEHICLES HAVING "SOFT BRAKES" MATCHED EXACTLY THE DESCRIPTION OF MY PROBLEM WITH SUBSEQUENT BRAKE FAILURE, SO THAT GRABBED MY ATTENTION. I DID NOT KNOW YOUR WEBSITE EXISTED UNTIL I READ THE NEWS REPORTS ABOUT THAT RECALL AND SO I AM VERY INTERESTED IN REPORTING MY PROBLEM. THANKS SO MUCH! *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED AS HE IS COMING TO A STOP AND STEP ON HIS BRAKES OR HIT A BUMP HE LOSES HIS BRAKES IT FELT AS IF THERE IS NO BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND CONTACT WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURE WAS ALSO CALL AND INFORM CONTACT THEY WILL GIVE HIM A RETURN CALL BUT THEY NEVER DID. ..MW UPDATED 03/15/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERSISTENT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND STILL CONTINUES. UPDATED 07/09/10.*JB

2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, WHEN BRAKING TIRES SQUEAL LIKE THEY ARE SKIDDING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES, USUALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS. I TRY TO APPLY THE BRAKES ON A REGULAR STOPPING EVENT, JUST EVEN GENTLY APPLICATION TO THE PEDAL, AND THE FRONT WHEELS MAKE AN AUDIBLE SKIDDING SOUND. *TR

MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY WHILE TRAVELING OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, POT HOLE OR BUMP. *TW

ENGINE DTC P0122, (LOW-VOLTS ON THE TPS). IT STARTED TO SET ON MY 2005 CIVIC DX. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE THEN PUBLISH IT FOR HEAVENS SAKES ! *CN

2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID: ABOUT ONCE A DAY DURING MY COMMUTE, I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE WHILE BRAKING, AND THE BRAKES GET VERY WEAK FOR A SECOND UNTIL I APPLY MORE PEDAL PRESSURE. THIS IS A PROBLEM PROBABLY VERY SIMILAR TO THE RECENT TOYOTA PRIUS BRAKING PROBLEM. THE GENERATOR STOPS PROVIDING BRAKING FORCE WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A POTHOLE. *TR

IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT ISSUES WITH TOYOTA, I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT TO YOU A SIMILAR PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID (I NO LONGER HAVE THE VEHICLE). I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT. THIS WAS NOT JUST ONE EVENT, IT HAPPENED OFTEN. DATE GIVEN BELOW IS JUST A RANDOM DATE FROM THE TIME I OWNED THE VEHICLE. WHENEVER I APPROACHED A STOPPING POINT, BE IT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR PARKING SPOT, WHILE HAVING THE BRAKES APPLIED, IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, SUCH AS A POTHOLE OR LOW TRAFFIC LIGHT SENSOR, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY GET A BURST OF ACCELERATION. IT WOULD RESPOND TO MY ADDED BRAKE PRESSURE, BUT ALWAYS LEFT ME WITH AN EERIE FEELING. THE DEALERSHIPS RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS THE ABS TAKING CONTROL. NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT. SINCE I NO LONGER HAVE THE VEHICLE, I DO NOT READILY HAVE THE VIN #. IF IT BECOMES ESSENTIAL, I SURE IT IS PROBABLY IN THE FILES I HAVE IN STORAGE AND CAN DIG IT UP FOR YOU. *TR

ACCELERATOR STICKING PROBLEM - LIKE TO SAY THE FIRST 6 MONTHS AFTER BUYING A NEW 2005 HONDA CIVIC THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. PROBLEM THEN SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF. I STILL OWN THE CAR AND IT HAS NOT AGAIN OCCURRED SINCE. SOLUTION WAS TO APPLY BRAKE HARD, PUT IN NEUTRAL AND KICK THE PEDAL. THIS WAS NOT A MAT PROBLEM SINCE THIS CAR HAS TWO GROMMETS HOLDING THE MAT IN PLACE. *TR

1) SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2005 (NEW), PERIODICALLY THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM KICKS IN FOR NO APPARENT REASON (WHILE I AM BRAKING, OF COURSE). 2) UNDER THE ABOVE SITUATION, AS WELL AS AT OTHER TIMES WHEN THE ANTILOCK BRAKES KICK IN, I CANNOT GET THE ABS TO DISENGAGE NO MATTER WHAT I DO, UNTIL THE CAR HAS REACHED A COMPLETE STOP. 3) INTERMITTENTLY, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, WHEN IT KICKS IN, THE CAR WILL TAKE AN EXCEEDINGLY LONG, VERY VERY EXCEEDINGLY LONG TIME TO STOP. VERY EXCEEDING LONG. AT ALMOST ALL THESE TIMES, I WAS ALREADY GOING VERY SLOWLY TOWARD A STOP SIGN, STOPLIGHT OR APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO TURN. IT SEEMS THAT THE WHEELS LOCK UP AND THE CAR JUST SLIDES. AS A RESULT OF #3, I HAVE RUN INNUMERABLE STOP SIGNS, A FEW STOP LIGHTS, THE OTHER NIGHT I ALMOST HIT A CAR HEAD ON, MISSED THE TURNOFF TO MY STREET BY ALMOST 200 FEET, MISSED MY DRIVEWAY BY ABOUT 100 FEET. THIS WAS ON SNOWY, WET SLUSHY ROADS. BUT, I WILL TELL YOU WHEN APPROACHING THE INTERSECTIONS AND TURNS, I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING SLOWER WITHOUT BEING AT ALMOST A DEAD STANDSTILL. IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT IN EACH CASE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. BUT, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IS THE WAY THE ABS SYSTEM WORKS, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND NEVERTHELESS THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. HAS ANYONE ELSE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION, CHECKED FOR BULLETINS, ETC. AND I FIND NOTHING. I DO NOT BELIEVE ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THIS. *TR

THE ALTERNATOR GAVE OUT WITH ONLY 46,800 MILES ON MY '05 CIVIC. WHEN I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT THIS - SINCE THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE - THE REP TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT YOU DON'T SIMPLY TAKE A CAR WITH A DEAD ALTERNATOR FROM PLACE TO PLACE - TOWING WOULD HAVE TO BE ARRANGED AND I WASN'T PAYING FOR ANOTHER TOW JOB. $520 LATER AND HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED TOO. *TR

UNWANTED AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING HONDA CIVIC HYBRID CAR ON THE BUCKHORN MOUNTAIN ROAD WEST OF FORT COLLINS COLORADO. THE CAR WAS ONLY STOPPED BY APPLYING BRUTE FORCE WITH ALL MY WEIGHT TO THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED ON ONE OF THE FEW STRAIGHT STRETCHES ON THIS NARROW, GRAVEL ROAD. THE ENGINE RACED AT ITS HIGHEST SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF, BEFORE IT CAUGHT FIRE. IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO NORMAL IDLE SPEED, EVEN AFTER I RESTARTED THE ENGINE A COUPLE OF TIME. WE ENDED UP LEAVING THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND IT WAS EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO TOWN. THE SHOP WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SITUATION, BUT I AM WORRIED AFTER READING ABOUT THE TOYOTA PROBLEMS WHICH SOUND SIMILAR. THE SHOP HAS REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR CABLE AND FLOOR MATS, THINKING IT MIGHT BE A SIMILAR SITUATION. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN INTO THE MOUNTAINS. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM SUDDENLY OCCURRED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT JUST A FEW MILES FURTHER ON THIS ROAD. I CURRENTLY OWN AND DRIVE A 2005 PRIUS, SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH DRIVING A HYBRID CAR. THE HONDA IS A GOVERNMENT CAR DRIVEN BY A NUMBER OF DRIVERS EACH DAY. I AM NOT SURE OF THE YEAR, BUT I CAN CHECK THAT OUT. *TR

2005 HONDA CIVIC CONTAIN ONLY THE DRIVER AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY,DRIVER SUSTAIN FRACTURED SHOULDER AND EXTENSIVE BRUISING IN THE CHEST AREA,AND SWOLLEN STERNUM. I LOVE HONDA BUT WITH THIS HAPPENING I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO COMPENSATE ME FOR MY INJURIES BECAUSE IT'S STATED THAT HONDA CARRIES A GOOD NAME, THE SERVICE, AND THE PRODUCT AND YES THAT'S WHAT CONVINCED ME TO BUY BUT WITH THIS HAPPENING I HAVE CHANGE MY MIND, BECAUSE IT'S SAID THAT AIRBAGS SUPPOSE TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT,ESPECIALLY IF YOUR THE ONLY ONE IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN YOU HIT SOMEONE FROM THE REAR A SENSOR SHOULD REACT AND IT DIDN'T FOR ME. KNOW WITH THIS BEING SAID I THINK ANOTHER LOOK SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION ON WHEN THE AIRBAG SHOULD COME OUT. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL WITH IT WAS YOU OR YOUR LOVE ONE. *TR

THE FRONT SEATS IN MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE ROCK CONSTANTLY. THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILS MORE OFTEN THAN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY BOTH ROCK DIAGONALLY - BACK LEFT TO FRONT RIGHT. ABOUT EVERY 10,000 - 15,000 MILES, I NEED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM "FIX" THIS PROBLEM. THEY USUALLY REPLACE SOME BUSHINGS IN THE SEAT BASE, WHICH HELPS FOR ABOUT 10-15,000 MILES, AND THEN THEY START ROCKING AGAIN. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY IS DONE TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I DRIVE MY CAR NORMALLY, DON'T FLOP DOWN IN THE SEAT, AND DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT SHOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I INCLUDED THE DATE THAT THIS INCIDENT FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

WAS THE 3RD CAR IN A 3 CAR ACCIDENT ON I-5 NORTH HEADING TO SEATTLE GOING 60MPH. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND THERE WAS ONLY THE DRIVER IN THE CAR. *TR

A/C STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A ROCK HIT CONDENSER AND CAUSED THE FREON TO LEAK. $900 TO FIX AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

AT ONLY 4 YEARS OF AGE, MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID NEEDS A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, COMING ACROSS HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES, IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE REPLACING THEIR HONDA CIVIC CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BEFORE THE CAR TURNS 5 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART, OVER $1200 TO REPLACE, SO WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS PART. IF IT IS NOT REPLACED IN CARS, I AM TOLD THAT THE CAR EMITS BAD GASES IN THE AIR. I LIVE IN A COUNTY WHERE EMISSIONS IS NOT PART OF THE INSPECTION, SO I WANT IT REPLACED, BUT CAN'T AFFORD IT AND DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE IT. WITH THAT MANY GOING BAD, CAN'T THERE BE A RECALL SO THESE CARS DO NOT EMIT BAD GASES IN THE AIR??? *TR

AFTER ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC, I BEGAN TO NOTICE I GOT A HEADACHE AND UPSET STOMACH WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER DISCOVERED A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD, AND INDICATED THE POSSIBILITY OF CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERING THE CABIN DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED THE CONDITION SINCE THE REPAIR COST IS VERY HIGH, ABOUT $1000. I HAVE SINCE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND NOT A RESULT OF AGE OR ABUSE. *TR

HONDA RECALL FOR JUDDER IN CVT ON 2005 HYBRID. REPAIRED (I BELIEVE BY BURNISHING THE CLUTCH?); HOWEVER, CONDITION IS RECURRING, GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER CVTS. MY SONS RECENTLY HAD THE SAME REPAIR DONE TO HIS. *TR

BOUGHT 1-OWNER CAR WITH APPROX 33,000 MI. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER NOTICED ROAR FROM LEFT OF CAR SUCH AS MIGHT BE PRESENT WITH BAD BEARINGS. HAVE NOT HAD DEFECT PROFESSIONALLY DIAGNOSED YET. *TR

AFTER I PUSHED THE SEAT BACK TO ALLOW MORE ROOM BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE SEAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON THE ENTIRE TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY AND THE CAR IS NOW NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NOT GONE TO THE DEALER SINCE I HAVE READ WHERE HONDA HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEMS AND DEALERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CAR OWNERS CHARGING THEM FOR VARIOUS REPAIRS THAT DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

OWNER OF A 2005 HONDA CIVIC LX FOUR-DOOR. HAVING 62,000 MILES ON IT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR INTO THE UNION PARK DEALERSHIP HERE IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST FOR REPLACEMENT WAS $448.00. I BELIEVE IT IS TOTALLY UNREASONABLE THAT THE ALTERNATOR SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT 62,000 MILES, WAS VERY COSTLY TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE, AND AS A RESULT HAS LEFT ME OUT OF FUNDS TO HAVE ROUTINE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RADIATOR COOLANT FLUSHED/REPLACED BEFORE THIS COMING WINTER. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS PROOF THAT HONDA IS USING INFERIOR PRODUCTS IN THEIR HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES, AS EVIDENCED BY ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS, AND THE REAR CONTROL ROD DEFECT RELATED TO THE 2007 CIVIC EX. THIS IS ONE OF MANY RECENT DEFECTS/RECALLS I HAVE EXPERIENCED RELATED TO HONDA'S CIVIC '07 AND '05 AUTOMOBILES. ALSO HAVING A 2007 HONDA CIVIC EX, WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAD THE WHEELS ROTATED BY UNION PARK DEALERSHIP. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE BACK AND EXPERIENCING A HOWLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN. AFTER DOING MY OWN INVESTIGATION, AND NEVER BEING INFORMED OF A RECALL ISSUE RELATED TO THE REAR CONTROL ARMS/RODS BEING DEFECTIVE BY HONDA, I HAD TO PAY $337.00 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED. IT IS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD THAT I PRAY NOTHING ELSE GOES WRONG WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND THAT LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE, AFTER BEING A FOUR-TIME HONDA VEHICLE OWNER, I WILL NOT BE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER HONDA VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE FRONT END OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE CENTER OF THE HOOD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MODERATE INJURIES. THE POLICE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE COLLISION CENTER. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 48,000.

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. IT USUALLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT 40 MPH AND ABOVE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS (LIKE WHEN YOU'RE COMING OUT OF THE TOLLS). I HAD THE BURNISH PROCEDURE DONE LAST IN THE FALL/WINTER OF LAST YEAR. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, THE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED A BETTER PART OF 10 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND, BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH, IT SLIPPED 3 TIMES IN A ROW. THE NEXT DAY, AT ABOUT 68 MPH, THE RPMS STAYED AT 3000. IT'S NORMALLY AROUND 25-2600 RPM. AGAIN, THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IF I BRING THE CAR BACK AGAIN, I WILL BE CHARGED $87 PER HOUR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE HAS BEEN OCCURRING ABOUT 3-5 TIMES A WEEK. NEVER WHEN I AM AT THE HONDA DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN ONLY DO SOMETHING IF THEY CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT IS HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT INDICATOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED, EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE. THE FAILURE OCCURS FREQUENTLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 104,000.

2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. MY SPECIFICATION SHEET ON MY CAR STATES THAT I HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS WHICH IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT REASONS I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE ACCIDENT TOTALED MY VEHICLE BUT THE SIDE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I ENDED UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WAS TOLD I HAD A CONCUSSION. I WAS RELEASED LATER THAT DAY. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID STARTED TO EXHIBIT TRANSMISSION JUDDER WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AND SLIPPAGE WHENEVER I ACCELERATED WHILE MOVING WITH APPROXIMATELY 65,000 ON THE ODOMETER (MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS TIME). I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PERFORMED NO ADDITIONAL WORK TO THE TRANSMISSION. I STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AT 90,000 MILES AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BUT MADE THEM AWARE OF MY CAR'S PROBLEM. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED SINCE THEN BUT I HAVE LEARNED THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR CAR. HONDA OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM UP TO 105,000 MILES. PROBLEM IS THAT I NOW HAVE 114,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I FEEL THE PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED WHEN IT FIRST STARTED EXHIBITING SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT 65,000 MILES. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THEY CAN CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BUT THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY TO OCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A CAR COMPANY THAT KNOWS THEIR PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX MY CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AND WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT 65,000 MILES. *TR

FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT, THE NEEDLE ON THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD PERIODICALLY FLUCTUATE. IT WAS ONLY EVER NOTED ON THE SERVICE REPORTS ONCE. THIS MENTION OCCURRED BEFORE THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND THE ONLY NOTE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE NEEDLE FINALLY FROZE ON 80MPH IN 12/06. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $80 JUST TO TELL ME THE SPEEDOMETER'S ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THAT IT WOULD COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS, AND THAT NONE OF THE WORK WOULD BE WARRANTED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT HAD BEEN A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. WHEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THIS EITHER, I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEIR ONLY OFFER WAS TO PAY FOR THE PARTS, NOT THE LABOR. I TOLD THEM THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SOME TIME LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL NOTIFYING ME OF A CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT FILED AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WITH MY CAR. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR TO TRY ONCE MORE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT AN INCONVENIENT LOSS OF TIME, IT'S ANOTHER $80 I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME BEFORE. TALKING TO AMERICAN HONDA IS AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME. THE SECOND ELECTRICAL ISSUE INVOLVES THE RADIO AND CD PLAYER. I HAD A NEW CD IN ONE DAY WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED PLAYING AND THE DISPLAY FLASHED "HOT", SPITTING THE CD OUT. THE CD ITSELF WAS SO HOT IT MELTED THE TOP PORTION. STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY ROLLED ME RIGHT ON THROUGH SERVICE, BRUSHING THE PROBLEM OFF AS INSIGNIFICANT. THIS CAR IS A FIRE HAZARD. BECAUSE OF AMERICAN HONDA, I AM OPERATING A VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER, WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC FOR LESS THEN 5 MONTHS AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE MY A/C CONDENSER ONCE IN MAY 08 AND I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN 6/08. IT COST ME ABOUT 500 TO 600 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT I DON'T DRIVE LIKE A CRAZY PERSON. THIS IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND REMAINS THERE TO DATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT DUE TO THE MILEAGE THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 48,000. UPDATED 06/02/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND EVEN THOUGH EDMUNDS.COM HAD A RUNNING BLOG APPARENTLY SIMILAR TRANSMISSION FAILURES.

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA CIVIC EX AT/2D ON 1/31/05. UP TO TODAY IT HAS ONLY 22K. IN JUNE 07, THE BATTERY DIED. (WITH LESS THAN 15K MILES). IN JANURARY 08, THE WHEEL BEARING FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED IT. IN FEBRUARY 08, THE BRAKE STARTED MAKING NOISE. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER ONE TIME AFTER ANOTHER. THE THIRD TIME WAS IN APRIL 08: THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PAD --- WITH ABOUT 21K MILES, THEY DID NOT EXPECT THE PAD WORE OUT. ALL I HOPED IS HONDA CAN OFFER ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IN CASE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED AS THE CAR GETS TO 25K MILES. BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER, SAYING I CAN REFER TO IT IF THE SAME PROBLEMS HAPPEN AGAIN. I WISH I CAN HAVE AT LEAST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HONDA: SINCE OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR IS WITH A POOR QUALITY. *TR

MY MOM JUST BOUGHT ME A 2005 HONDA CIVIC ABOUT 6 WEEKS. MY A/C WAS NOT BLOWING OUT COLD AIR SO IT WAS TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALER SHIP AND I FOUND OUT THAT A PEBBLE HAD HIT THE A/C CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK. AND ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT 700 DOLLARS. ITS A DESIGN FLAW. I WAS RESEARCHING ON LINE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE AND THERE ARE ALOT. HONDA SHOULD COVER THE COST OF A NEW A/C CONDENSER BECAUSE OF THERE DESIGN FLAW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE VEHICLE HAS A SPECIAL TRANSMISSION, WHICH DOES NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE RPM'S INCREASED TO 5,200.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WITH A 1997 CHEVY 1500 PICKUP WHILE DRIVING HIS 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE DAMAGE TO THE HONDA IS EXTENSIVE. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND HIS NECK WAS BROKEN. THE DAMAGE LITERALLY PEELED BACK THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND EXPOSED BOTH AIR BAG SENSORS. HE SURVIVED HE ACCIDENT AND IS NOW IN REHAB. WE HAVE TWO OBVIOUS QUESTIONS: 1) WHY DID THE AIR BAG NOT DEPLOY? 2) COULD A BROKEN NECK HAVE BEEN AVOIDED? *TR

NEW 2005 HONDA CIVIC XL SPECIAL ADDITION 4-DOOR SEDAN PURCHASED FROM HONDA OF FORT MYERS 7-21-05. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON THE DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM BEGAN TO LIGHT UP. IT WAS ON ALL THE TIME. THE MANUAL STATED THAT YOU SHOULD GO TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE IT CHECKED IF THIS HAPPENS AS CONTINUED OPERATION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. WE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS 8-20-05, 8-30-05, 12-22-06, 5-9-07. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT FOR 2-3 DAYS AFTER BEING WORKED ON IN THE SHOP AND COME BACK ON. THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTREME SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION AND CONCERN. THE CAR HAS DEVELOPED AN ADDITIONAL SYMPTOM OF STUMBLING AND LOSING POWER WHEN TRYING TO BLEND INTO TRAFFIC. WE HAVE JUST LIVED WITH THIS THINKING "WELL, WHAT CAN WE DO". BUT I'M CONVINCED THAT SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE KNOWS WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS. I AM GOING TO MAKE IT MY PROJECT TO WORK TOWARD THAT END. THANKS FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER. IF WE COULD GET A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO SHOW UP AT THE DEALER TO GET THEM TO FIX IT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. *TR

THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM IN THAT MANNER. THE CONTACTS INSURANCE COMPANY DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE, BUT THEY REPAIRED THE FRONT BUMPER. THE CONTACT SUFFERED BACK INJURIES. HE WAS SURPRISED WHEN HE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN JANUARY OF 2008 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH JUDDER.

A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC STATED THAT THE PLASTIC AND SCREWS IN THE SUN VISORS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE COMPONENTS WERE NOT REPLACED BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE CONTACT TIGHTENED THE SCREWS AS A TEMPORARY REPAIR. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE SUN VISORS DROPPED DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE REVVING HIGH. I LOOKED AT THE SHIFTER AND NOTICED I WAS IN S SO I PUSHED THE SHIFTER INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR DIED RIGHT IN THE FAST LANE OF AN EXTREMELY BUSY HIGHWAY. I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW CARS JUST SWERVING, SCREECHING ,ETC. I DID GET CLIPPED ON THE RIGHT REAR, NOT ONLY WAS I VERY LUCKY, BUT I WAS FORTUNATE NONE OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WRECKED INTO EACH OTHER. I HAVE READ BOTH ON THIS LINK AND EDMUNDS OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRIDS DYING WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE. I STILL NEED TO TAKE IT TO HONDA, BUT I NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE BODY SHOP AS IT IS NOT EXACTLY DRIVABLE.*AK

THE AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) IN THE 2005 HONDA CIVIC VP STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THE A/C CONDENSER IN THE CAR HAD A PIN HOLE CAUSED BY A ROCK. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT ALTHOUGH THE PART WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY IT WAS VOIDED BY THE ROCK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED THE REPAIRS AT $813.00. THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. *AK

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW 7/6/05. ON 12/18/06, 31K MILES, BROUGHT IT TO DEALER WITH SRS LIGHT ON. DEALER DETERMINED THE PASSENGER SEATBELT TENSIONER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. REPAIR WAS EFFECTED. SRS LIGHT ON AGAIN, BROUGHT TO DEALER 1/2/07, 32.5K MILES. THE PASSENGER SEATBELT BUCKLE WAS REPLACED. SRS LIGHT ON AGAIN (OBSERVED AFTER GOING OVER A SECTION OF UNEVEN PAVEMENT), BROUGHT TO DEALER 1/16/07, 33.4K MILES. I THINK THAT TIME THEY RESET THE COMPUTER COMPONENT. SRS LIGHT ON AGAIN 1/20/07, 33.5K MILES, PASSENGER SEATBELT TENSIONER REPLACED AGAIN. SRS LIGHT ON AGAIN 5/2/07, 39.5K MILES, THE ENTIRE PASSENGER RESTRAINING SYSTEM AND COMPUTER COMPONENT WERE REPLACED BY DEALER. SRS LIGHT ON AGAIN 6/5/07, 41K MILES, CAR IS WITH DEALER NOW. DURING THIS TIME I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE ANY ACTION THAT TRIGGERS THE SRS LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS LAST TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD BEEN EMPTY FOR THE PREVIOUS 2 DAYS.

THIS IS A 2005 CIVIC HYBRID. A FEW TIMES THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALLOWED THE ENGINE TO INCREASE ITS RPM'S TO A "REDLINE" LEVEL, THEN ENGAGES AND SURGES FORWARD. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED THUS FAR, BUT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS ON SURFACE STREETS. ALSO, I HAVE ISSUE WITH THE WAFER THIN WINDSHIELD. I HAVE 3 CRACKS IN IT FROM 18 MONTHS OF DRIVING FROM ROAD PEBBLES. I HAVE 6 OTHER VEHICLES, THEY ALL GET DRIVEN THE SAME FREEWAYS, AND GET HIT BY PEBBLES, BUT NONE GET THE DAMAGE AS THIS HONDA HAS. *NM

FIRST OF ALL I AM FROM CANADA...I SAID I WAS FROM WASHINGTON STATE BECAUSE THAT IS THE CLOSEST STATE TO WHERE I'M FROM...WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A VERY BUSY CITY STREET MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC SUDDENLY BEGAN ACCELERATING WITH OUT CAUSE...WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT WORK...IN FACT, THE CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE EVEN MORE...I THE PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AT WHICH POINT THE BRAKES DID TAKE SOMEWHAT...THE CAR THEN CONTINUED TO ROLL DOWN A VERY BUSY CITY STREET PEOPLE ON FOOT WERE CROSSING THE STREET ABOUT 1/2 A BLOCK IN FRONT OF MY CAR AND IT IS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT I DID NOT HIT THEM...THEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT CAME TO A STOP....I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED...MY FEELING IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO EVER GET BACK IN THAT CAR AGAIN.....*JB

TL*- THE CONTACT PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CIVIC IN MARCH 2005 WITH 0 MILES. IN APRIL 2005 THE CONTACT NOTICED A CRACKING NOISE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES . HOWEVER, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND STOPPED AT ANY TIME THERE AFTER THE NOISE WAS NO LONGER HEARD. THE BRAKE NOISE OCCURRED EVERY INITIAL STARTUP OF THE VEHICLE, AFTER IT HAS BEEN STOPPED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, AND THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED SHORTLY AFTER IGNITION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THOMASON HONDA OF GLADSTONE, OREGON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES MA DE A CRACKING NOISE. THE DEALER DESCRIBED IT AS A CLICKING NOISE AND REFERRED TO IT AS BEING A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM. THE CONTACT WROTE TWO LETTERS TO HONDA. THE FIRST LETTER FROM HONDA MOTORS, ON APRIL 25,2006, EXPLAINED THAT THE NOISE WAS CAUSED BY THE SWITCH PARTNER NOT FITTING SQUARELY IN THE BRAKE CASING. THE CONTACT WROTE A SECOND LETTER TO HONDA OF AMERICA POINTING THIS ISSUE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A REPLY LETTER MAY 18, 2006 FROM HONDA MOTOR EXPLAINING THAT THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE CALIPER BRACKETS CAN CAUSE THE PADS TO HIT THE CALIPER BRACKET WHEN FIRST APPLYING THE BRAKES, CAUSING THE NOISE. *AK

AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED WITH ONE OTHER VEHICLE. MY CIVIC WAS HIT ON THE FRONT LEFT DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED I HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED HITTING MY CHEST AND NOT SO MUCH MY FACE, RESULTING IN MASSIVE SWELLING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE, A 6CM HEMATOMA ON MY FOREHEAD AND SCALP FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD , 2 BLACK EYES AND A FRACTURED WRIST FROM HITTING THE BOTTOM OF STEERING WHEEL. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON AND SO DID THE PASSENGER. FROM THE SEAT BELT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, HIS INJURY WAS A PUNCTURED SMALL INTESTINE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE WOULD NOT LATCH. THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE DEPRESSED A COUPLE TIMES, AND THEN THE BUCKLE LATCHED. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA.

SINCE BUYING MY VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL THE CAR WILL STALL. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR BACK INTO GEAR IT WON'T START UP AGAIN UNTIL I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO NEUTRAL TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE CLUTCH AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR AGAIN. SINCE THE 3RD DAY OF OWNING THE CAR THIS HAS HAPPENED . THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE BATTERY TERMINALS BUT IT CONTINUED. DOES THIS WHETHER IT'S RAINING OR NOT. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER THE MECHANIC PUT MY CAR ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND CALLED THE CODE NUMBERS IN TO THE COMPANY WHO TOLD THEM WHAT ELSE TO DO BUT IT STARTED DOING THIS AGAIN NOT TOO LONG AFTER. USUALLY, THE DEALER TELLS ME THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO DO IT FOR THEM SO THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, I NOTICED A MEDIUM SIZED PUDDLE AHEAD - IN MY EXIT LANE. I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, BUT HAD NO CHOICE OTHER THAN TO GO THROUGH THE PUDDLE. UPON DOING SO, THE FRONT PORTION OF THE PLASTIC COVER THAT GOES ACROSS THE BOTTOM UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR BECAME UNHOOKED AND BEGAN DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THEY PLACED THE CAR UP ON THE RACK AND SHOWED ME THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR - THE PLASTIC PIECE HAD CRACKED AND BROKEN AWAY FROM THE CLIPS THAT HOLD IT INTO PLACE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO ISSUE A WARRANTY REPAIR ON THIS PART, STATING THAT IT WAS DUE TO MY NEGLIGENCE. WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT I HAD DONE THAT WAS NEGLIGENT THEY POINTED ME TO THE SCRAPES AND SCRATCHES ON THE PLASTIC AND SAID THAT I HAD OBVIOUSLY DRIVEN OVER THINGS (CURBS/SPEED BUMPS/ETC) THAT WERE TOO TALL FOR MY VEHICLE TO CLEAR. THIS IS NOT THE CASE - IT SEEMS TO ME MORE LIKE A CASE OF CHEAP PLASTIC NOT BEING ABLE TO WITHSTAND DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE! WHEN I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THE SCRATCHES CAME FROM DRIVING FROM THE PUDDLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD NO REPLY OTHER THAN TO TELL ME THAT I COULD ORDER A PART AND PAY FOR SERVICE/LABOR. I DECLINED, AND CURRENTLY HAVE THE BOTTOM RIGGED ON WITH INDUSTRIAL ZIP TIES, AS I PAY ENOUGH FOR THE CAR TO BEGIN WITH. *NM

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN SHIFTING MY CAR FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, IT GRINDS GOING INTO GEAR. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE ARE ABOVE 4K. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF IT YET, BUT PLAN TO SOON. *NM

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC HOME ON A SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST WENT DEAD, I DRIFTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND SAT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR IT STARTED, ABOUT 4 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WENT DEAD AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED 4 TIME IN A MATTER OF ABOUT 15 MILES. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. MONDAY MORNING THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *NM

2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAD RECALL REPAIR DONE TO THE FUEL INJECTOR. AFTER REPAIRS VEHICLE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERED IN GAS MILEAGE. *KB THE CONSUMER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA THAT THROUGH A MISTAKE IN MANUFACTURING, THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER HAD BEEN PROGRAMMED WITH A FUEL INJECTOR FUEL FLOW RATE THAT CAUSED IT TO RUN TOO LEAN. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE THE CONSUMER NOTICED A 10-15% DROP IN FUEL ECONOMY. *NM

ON THE DATE INDICATED, I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURER. THE ADJUSTERS THAT PERFORMED THE ASSESSMENT STATED THAT THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT. THIS IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. *JB

REVERSE IN A HONDA CIVIC MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM IS ENGAGING REVERSE IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN I NEED TO REVERSE I MOVE THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE AND RELEASE THE CLUTCH. A GRINDING NOISE OCCURS AND THE GRINDING NOISE GETS LOUDER IF I GIVE IT MORE GAS WHILE THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGED. IT TAKES ME A WHILE TO TRY AND GET REVERSE ENGAGED AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS EVERYDAY WITH THIS AND I JUST HAD IT IN FOR A SERVICE AND ASKED THE DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE DEALER LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THIS IS COMMON IN EVERY HONDA CIVIC TRANSMISSION. REVERSE DOES NOT HAVE A SYNCHRONIZED GEAR AND I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. EVEN IF THEY REPLACED MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, THE PROBLEM WILL STILL EXIST. I EVEN GOT A SERVICE TECH TO DRIVE MY CAR AND HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID HE HAD A CIVIC AND IT DOES THE SAME THING. THE DEALER SAID WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS (FOR ME JUST ABOUT EVERYTIME I NEED REVERSE) I NEED TO PUT THE SHIFTER INTO FIRST OR SECOND GEAR AND THEN TRY REVERSE. IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN I HAVE TO TRY IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES I FIND MYSELF IN TIGHT SITUATIONS AND AM NOT ABLE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS IF EVERY HONDA CIVIC TRANSMISSION IS LIKE THIS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF I KNEW HONDA CIVICS WERE LIKE THIS, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ONE. *JB

MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. HER CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE PERSON ACCIDENT. HER BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING AND FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. HE HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY (BLUE SLIDE RD @ NEYMOUTH BLUFF RD). HE WENT OFF A 15 FOOT DROP OFF AND THEN ROLLED THE CAR 150 YARDS TO THE BOTTOM OF A RAVINE. HE HAD HIS SEAT BELT ON. THE CAR HAD FOUR AIRBAGS - NONE OF WHICH DEPLOYED. THEY HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO GET HIM OUT AND THEN CUT OFF THE TOP OF THE ROOF. THERE WAS NO FRONT BUMPER LEFT ON THE CAR. HE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN A CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL WITH MAJOR HEAD TRAUMA AND NO FACIAL BONE LEFT INTACT IN HIS FACE. IF THE AIR BAGS, EVEN ONE OF THEM HAD DEPLOYED THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR LESS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ENGAGING THE DEFROST; THE A/C SYSTEM TURNS ON CAUSING A CONDENSATION ON THE WINSHIELD WHICH OBSCURS VISILITY.

CAR STOPPED STEERING WELL; HIGH PITCHED CONTINUOUS WHINE; MECHANIC DIAGNOSED POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE; PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE IS A REFLECTION COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE THAT OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THERE WAS NOT A DEFECT.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HIT A DEER HEAD ON. THE DEER DESTROYED MUCH OF MY FRONT END BUT THE MOTOR WAS STILL GOING . I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND COULDN'T BE STOPPED. SINCE IT WAS A HYBRID IT FELT LIKE THE ELECTRIC MOTOR KICKED IN FOR SOME STRANGE REASON AND THE CAR COULDN'T BE STOPPED. IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR I PUT IT IN TO PARK WHILE IT WAS MOVING. THE CAR CONTINUED TO TRY AND ACCELERATE BUT SINCE IT WAS IN PARK IT WAS JUST MOVING SLOWLY TO A STOP. ALTHOUGH THIS WASN'T DEADLY FOR ME IT COULD HAVE BEEN IF I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY OR IF I WAS KNOCKED OUT. I DON'T THINK A CAR SHOULD ACCELERATE FOR NO REASON. *NM

OUR NEW 2005 HONDA CIVIC HAD BOTH FRONT WHEELS LOCK WHILE MY WIFE WAS GOING TO WORK, DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN FORT WORTH TX. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, CRASHING INTO A GUARD RAIL, BLOWING THE AIR BAGS, SPINNING AROUND, STARTING A FIRE AT THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND STARTING MY WIFE'S COAT ON FIRE AS SHE WAS GETTING OUT. WE HAVE AN EYE WITNESS WHO HAS A DEGREE IN ENGINEERING, PHOTOS, A POLICE REPORT AND THE CAR ITSELF. THE CAR STARTED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT BY ITSELF AND MY WIFE WAS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT IT SINCE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE IN A COMPLETE SKID. THE CAR HAD 2113 MILES ON IT AND EVEN THE POLICE COMMENTED THAT IN HER TWELVE YEARS ON THE FORCE SHE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SO STRANGE AS THIS. THERE ARE TWO SOLID BLACK LINES THAT SHOW WHERE THE SKID STARTED IN THE CENTER OF THE LANE ENDING AT THE GUARDRAIL. BOTH TIRES ARE TORN UP AND MELTED IN ONE SPOT. THE ROADS WERE DRY, NO TRAFFIC, NOTHING IN THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION JUST LOCKED UP SOLID, CAUSING A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE HONDA CORPORATION @ 800-999-1009 AND THE DEALER BANKSTON HONDA OF LEWISVILLE TX @ 866-507-6355. HONDA SAID IT WAS AN INSURANCE PROBLEM, BANKSTON REFERRED ME BACK TO HONDA. FINALLY HONDA SAID THEY WOULD COME OUT AND TAKE PICTURES "ONLY" CAR WOULD NOT BE MOVED. THE DAY THEY WERE TO COME OUT AND TAKE PICTURE THEY SAID "DUE TO SAFETY REASONS THE CAR NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO BANKSTON HONDA TO TAKE PICTURES, BREAKING OUR AGREEMENT. WE HID THE CAR AND ARE SEEKING LEGAL MEANS AS OUR INSURANCE IS HAVING TO PAYOUT DUE TO A DEFECT. I HAVE A CASE AT HONDA #[XXX]. THE POLICE REPORT IS FILED IN FORT WORTH TX, LOC.05148069 AND OUR WITNESS SAID SHE WOULD GLADLY TESTIFY WHAT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE VIN# IS [XXX]. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. AT APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH THE VEHICLE EXITED THE ROAD AND HIT NUMEROUS TREES, LANDING IN A DITCH. EVERYTHING ON THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE AT WHICH THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH BOTH THE TREES AND DITCH. *AK

DT CONTACT STATED THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR THE OIL, ENGINE, AND BATTERY CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE HAD HIGH IDLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO AUTO STOP IN ALL GEARS. ONE COULD TURN RIGHT OR LEFT AND THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF. SHE CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY DID SOME TYPE OF WORK TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. SHE CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED VEHICLE DID NOT WORK PROPERLY DUE TO DRIVER'S ERROR. ALSO, SHE STATED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DID NOT SHOW THAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AT THIS POINT. *AK

I WAS TRAVELING 25-30 MPH WHEN A BLAZER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME, AFTER HITTING THEM...I REALIZED THAT NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED ( I DON'T HAVE AN AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH) . THIS WAS ODD BECAUSE WE HIT DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE ON THE FRONT OF OUR 2005 HONDA CIVIC (4-DOOR) AND THE TOW MAN SAID THAT THERE WAS A SENOR ON BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE LOOKED AS IF IT HADN'T BEEN HIT. NOW WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE POLICE MY WIFE WAS ASKED HOW FAST WE WERE TRAVELING AT TIME OF IMPACT AND SHE WAS NOT SURE, ASKING THE OFFICER "HOW FAST DO YOU NEED TO BE TRAVELING TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS? BECAUSE IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN THAT FAST NEITHER ONE HAD TRIGGERED." THE OFFICER STATED WELL HE WOULD HAVE TO GO CHECK THIS OUT BECAUSE THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND THE HONDA'S DAMAGE HE HAD JUST ASSUMED THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. NOW I HAVE 7 STITCHES ABOVE MY EYE AND BRUISED CHEST AND KNEES, AND MY WIFE HAS A CHIPPED BONE IN HER NECK. I WOULD NOT BE SO UPSET BUT THIS CAR HAD ABOUT 3500 MILES ON IT AND I HAD MADE 3 CARS PAYMENTS, AND EVERYTIME I SEARCH FOR HONDA AND SAFETY FEATURES THE THING I READ THE MOST IS HOW IT HAD A 5 STAR RATING FOR FRONT IMPACT FOR AIRBAGS. I HAVE ALSO READ UP ON THE NEW AIRBAGS WITH THE SETTINGS FOR HOW FAST, SIZE, AND POSITION OF THE PASSENGERS, WHICH IN THIS CASE MY WIFE AND I WERE BOTH LOOKING FORWARD AND BOTH SHE AND I ARE FULL SIZED ADULTS AND I AM NOT SURE OF THE SPEED IN WHICH THESE NEW AIRBAGS FALL UNDER, BUT 25-30 IS STILL ENOUGH SPEED FOR A GOOD IMPACT AND WE HIT RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE...WE ALSO HAD MY 13 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS FINE. BUT WITH ALL THIS SAID I DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH EVERYTHING STATED AND WE THE CAR AS FAR AS WE KNOW RIGHT NOW CONSIDERED TOTALED WHY WE ARE HURT MORE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO AIRBAGS TO SAVE US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *JB

RESENTMENTS TUVE UN ACCIDENTE CON MI VEHICULO HONDA CIVIC 2005. EL IMPACTO FUE UNO FUERTE EN LA PARTE DELANTERA DE LA UNIDAD; ESTABA UTILIZANDO EL CINTURON DE SEGURIDAD Y AUN ASI LAS BOLSAS DE AIRE NUNCA SE ACTIVARON.

I WAS DRIVING TO TACO BELL TO GET SOME LATE NIGHT FOOD. WELL I GET THROUGH THE LIGHT THAT LEADS INTO THE PARKING LOT...(I'VE HAD SOME SQUEAKING COMING FROM MY FRONT END EARLY IN THE AM AND ONCE ITS REALLY WARMED UP B.T.W.). SO, I GET THROUGH AND GOING ABOUT 15 MPH A SQUEAK THEN A KIND OF POP AND NEXT THING I KNOW IM PULLED INTO THE CURB, HOP IT, AND TAKE OUT A BUSH. I WAS SO MAD! MY CAR HAS 4600 MILES ON IT! SO I BACK IT OFF THE CURB AND PULL IT OVER. THERE WAS BAD CURB DAMAGE ON THE WHEEL AND MY WHEEL IS VERY. LOOKED LIKE VERY POSITIVE CAMBER. NOT TO MENTION THE NICE SCRATCHES AND GREEN MARKS THE BUSH GAVE TO MY BUMPER. UGH!!! I LOVE MY BRAND NEW CAR SO MUCH! I WASH IT TWICE A WEEK AND WAX ONCE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. ALWAYS CHECKING FLUIDS, ALWAYS TAKING GOOD CARE OF IT. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND....WELL I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, FIGURING THIS WOULD ALL BE TAKEN CARE OF CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANT AND NOT EVEN DUE FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE YET. WELL, I GET THE CALL BACK FROM THEM TELLING ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE PARTS TO BREAK OR COME LOOSE. THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS FROM ME HITTING THE CURB AFTER OR NOT. TO ME, SINCE THEY DIDN'T KNOW, THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED. MY CONCERN ON TOP OF THE $1,500 THIS IS COSTING ME OUT OF POCKET TO FIX, IS WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY??? GOING 65 MPH, THAT WOULD HAVE SENT ME INTO THE MEDIAN AND POSSIBLY CAUSED DEATH. I AM A FULL TIME STUDENT IN COLLEGE WORKING 2 JOBS SO I CAN PAY FOR THIS NOT EVEN FOUR MONTH OLD $20,000 CAR. I AM OUTRAGED THAT HONDA DID NOT TAKE CARE OF ME WITH THIS. IS THIS WRONG? I AM SEEKING ALL OF THE ASSISTANCE I CAN GET AND POSSIBLE LEGAL ACTION. THANK YOU, ~[XXX] *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA CIVIC ON 5-31-05. I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 INCIDENCES OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM JULY 2ND THROUGH AUG 29. EACH TIME, I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IT BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. CONSEQUENTLY, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING OF THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 30, 2005, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON AUGUST 8, 2005 WHILE PULLING INTO A BASEBALL DIAMOND AT 35 MPH, AND PRESSING THE BRAKES THEY WOULD NOT HOLD, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SMASH INTO A FENCE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM THE STATE FARM AUTHORIZED BODY SHOP ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2005, AND HAD ANOTHER BRAKE FAILURE ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2005. THIS TIME HE DROVE THE CAR AT 40 MILES AND PROBABLY PRESSED THE BRAKES ABOUT 25 TIMES, AND THEY GRABBED. THEN, DEPRESSED THEM ABOUT THREE INCHES AND THEN GRABBED AGAIN. HE CONTACTED STATE FARM INSURANCE, AND THEY TOLD HIM TO CONTACT HONDA NATIONAL, WHICH HE ALREADY DONE AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. ALSO, STATE FARM WAS INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE. *AK

THE HVAC (AIR CONDITIONING / HEATING SYSTEM / DEFROSTER) IMMEDIATELY STARTED SPEWING TOXIC MOLD / MILDEW SPORS ON A NEW VEHICLE TEST DRIVE AT THE DEALER. IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, AFTER RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING FOR A FEW MINUTES, TURNING THE AIR CONDITIONING OFF (WHILE LEAVING THE FAN RUNNING) AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES. IT THEN STINKS FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN DISAPPEARS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THIS CYCLE IS USED WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING AND DEFROSTER. THIS OCCURRED IN TWO ALMOST IDENTICAL VEHICLES (HONDA CIVIC WITH DIFFERENT TRIM LEVELS) WITH LESS THAN 80 MILES ON THEM. WHEN I ASKED THE SALESMAN AND SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE NEW CAR SMELL. I HAD A FRIEND CONCUR THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY A TOXIC MILDEW ODOR AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE TREATED PROBABLY EVERY FEW WEEKS FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS AND IS NOT CONSIDERED SAFE TO DRIVE AND DANGEROUS IF IT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HEALTH OF THE OCCUPANTS. THIS PROBLEM ALSO AFFECTS THE ACURA RSX WHICH USES SIMILAR COMPONENTS. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE TEST DRIVING AND RENTING MANY OTHER CARS FOR MANY WEEKS (E.G. - 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR 2 DAYS, 2005 SUBARU OUTBACK FOR 6 DAYS, 2005 FORD MUSTANG FOR 2 DAYS, ETC).*JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT SEALED AT THE TIME THAT THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. HE WAS WAITING FOR A CALL BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE PROBLEM. FIRST NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT SEALED ON JULY 12, 2005. HE COULD HEAR WIND BLOWING THROUGH THE CAR , AND ON THE SERVICE INVOICE FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP , IT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT SEALED. *AK

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER STANDARD NEW HONDA CIVIC 2005 HOME FROM THE DEALER ON MAY 9TH. SHE HAD 60 MILES ON THE CAR AND WAS CRUISING IN 4TH SPEED AT 45 MILES AN HOUR ON I5 SOUTH IN THE SEATTLE AREA WHEN THE CAR CAME INSTANTLY TO ALMOST A COMPLETE HALT CAUSING AN INTENSE JERKING OF THE CAR. SHE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITH WHAT MINIMUM MOMENTUM SHE HAD LEFT. AS THERE WAS NO IMPACT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH MOST LIKELY INTENSIFIED THE NATURE OF HER INJURY. CURRENTLY HER RADIOLOGY REPORT STATES SHE HAS A FRACTURE OF THE T-11 VERTEBRAE AND TO DATE SHE IS UNABLE TO SIT, THEREFORE DRIVE, WORK, OR FINISH HER COLLEGE PROGRAM. HONDA HAS DIAGNOSED THE CLUTCH AS DESTROYED AND SAYS THAT SHE MUST HAVE INTENTIONALLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH TO 1ST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH AND DESTROYED THE CLUTCH HERSELF. THEREFORE THEY ARE TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO HAVE THE CLUTCH REPLACED OR JUST HAVE THE TRANSMISSION PUT BACK IN AND EITHER WAY TOW TO CAR TO MY DAUGHTER'S CONDO AND WAIT OUT OUR NEXT MOVE. HONDA IS CHARGING US $500.00 JUST TO PUT THE CAR BACK TOGETHER AND THE TOW WILL BE OVER $200.00 BUT IF WE LEAVE IT AT THE DEALER IT IS $50.00 PER DAY. OUR SERVICE ENGINEER HAS THE DESTROYED CLUTCH STORED IN EVIDENCE. THESE 2 YOUNG PEOPLE WILL NEVER DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN EVEN IF THE CAR IS REPAIRED. SHE DIDN'T SHIFT AT ALL AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IMPACTED AND INJURED EVEN MORE. SO WE HAVE A NEW CAR NO ONE WILL DRIVE AND SO FAR 2 ATTORNEY'S HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE THE CASE.

DT: CONSUMER HAS A NEW HONDA CIVIC. THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE HE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ALERTS CONSUMER OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAGS OR SEAT BELTS. THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE HE FIRST PURCHASED VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE SRS LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. DEALER RESET THE COMPUTER, HOPING THE SRS LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON ANY MORE, BUT SRS LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON. ALSO, DEALER REPLACED PASSENGER FRONT SEAT ,BELT AND THIS DID NOT KEEP SRS LIGHT FROM COMING ON. SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED ON MAY 12, 2005, VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER FOR SRS LIGHT ON MARCH 31, 2005, APRIL 29, 2005 AND JUNE 2, 2005. OWNERS MANUAL STATED THAT IGNORING THE SRS INDICATOR COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS OR SEA TBELTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. *AK

DT: CONSUMER STATED HER SON WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THE AIRBAGS COULD STILL BE CHECKED TO SEE IF THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED TWICE AND THE FRONT END HIT THE DITCH. THERE WAS DEW ON THE ROAD AND THERE WAS A DEER IN THE ROAD. HE THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY LOCKED UP. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT FILED. HE SUSTAINED A BRUISE COLLAR BONE, BRUISES ON HIS LEGS, A BUMP ON HIS HEAD AND HE HAS TO GO TO THE DENTIST THIS WEEK TO HAVE HIS TEETH CHECKED.

THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REGISTERING AT 120 MPH, WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING SLOWER. *JB *NM

NEW VEHICLES TURN SIGNALS ARE RED IN COLOR AND SEEM TO HAVE BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE DRIVERS INTENTIONS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER SITUATIONS. WHAT EVER ALLOWED THIS CHANGE FROM THE AMBER/YELLOW COLOR OF THE TURN SIGNAL TO THE CURRENT RED COLOR ON NEWER MODEL VEHICLES IS A WRONG DECISION, IN MY OPINION, ON THE PART OF A DRIVERS SAFTEY WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE. *AK

THE CONSUMER WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE DEALER WHEN HE PURCHASED HIS 2005 HONDA CIVIC. *NM THE DEALER WAS SUPPOSED TO INSTALL A REMOTE START ALARM. *SC *JB

VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION . THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.*AK *JB
