The car was sold as stolen and salvaged title.. it was in 2 accidents prior to sale. It is unable to be insured and has been repoed. Lookout for it to be resold!!!
Recall Honda won't honor warranty 10-048 only because on my tittle it states that the millege is not actual. Which was a mistake by the dmv. Not actual mileage my engine is seized due to the car over heating.
I received a letter in July 2016 (official date May 23, 2016) detailing an important safety recall on my 2006 Honda Civic. The problem is that "the propellant wafers in some of the subject inflators may degrade over time, which could lead to over-aggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated." The letter goes on to explain that this could cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag cushion and harm the vehicle occupant. The only option given in the letter is to avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed. According to the letter, the parts were supposed to be available by now. I am concerned for my safety and other people's safety as they ride in my car. ** much time has passed, and I expect immediate repair free of charge.***

The paint is disappearing from the roof and the sides of my back windows. Honda will do nothing since their paint recall is over. I received other recalls in the mail. Never a paint one. I am not sure exactly when the paint problem began. Probably around 2012-2014.

The sun visor is falling apart because the metal spring inside has broken the plastic within the visor. The visor will not stay up and it is distracting to the driver. I could feel a difference in the motion of the visor over the past couple of weeks and it finally broke yesterday. This is the passenger visor (the driver's visor was replaced a couple of years ago for the same problem) and is primarily used to hold a sun shade in place when it is parked. Everything within my car is treated very gently so that my ten year-old car looks almost brand new.
While driving car a burning smell checked coolant & was empty refilled & parked car, next day went to dealer, said cracked head gasket kept overnight then said coolant evaporated said burning came from plastic back on exhaust I saw the tech when he was working on my car & he said had cracked head gasket, they would not give me copy of detailed work order just my receipt for charges, I don't know what to do now?

The customer service rep. Was upset because my car had not been seen there for a while I can take my car were I want to take it but he was ruled by what he said to me. I take good care of my car, but there are too many problems with this Civic my 1989 Civic didn't have problems like this I feel I should get help with some of the money I have already paid out for the repairs my car is falling apart month by month and I need answers Honda need to stand by their product.
Driver and passenger sun visors come apart at the hard-plastic seams and fail to retract back into the headliner once they are engaged, leaving them blocking driver's view at all times. They cannot be adjusted to any gradual positioning. They simply hang straight down. Honda admitted the problem and has said they only warranted replacement for 7 years. When car was in warranty, dealer promised Honda would replace as long as the car had the original owner. This is a simple engineering fix that Honda will not address. It is now a safety issue as I cannot get replacements (visors last, on average 15-18 months and must be replaced constantly) and the visors now hang, obstructing my outward view to the side and through the windshield.
2006 Honda Civic with R18A1 (for model year 2006-2010) engine block has known coolant leakage due to crack at the coolant jacket. Reason was thin wall design at the coolant jacket wall. The crack will mostly appear average 88K miles. Please have Honda make this an open recall on all vehicles equipped with is engine
My paint on my car was coming off. Honda was supposed to repaint it. They had used some new environmentally friendly paint on their cars and many cars were having problems with it. Honda, costa mesa took photos of my car and supposedly booked me down for a date to bring my car for a few months later before I was supposed to get married. That was done because I needed my car for transportation at that time and if they repainted it, they would have to keep my car for a few days to weeks so they "scheduled" it for a time I wouldn't need my car. I bring my car in before my wedding and Honda said they no longer repaint the cars. I have the info of the person who had taken the photos but he was no longer working. I called them to make sure I was still "scheduled" and I even spoke to the new person who was transitioning into the position while the current person was still there and they both assured me that I was still scheduled for my repaint. I can't believe such a large company acts like this. They did not produce quality and don't fix their mistakes. This shows them to be so dishonest and dishonorable. I used to be loyal to Honda and I'm so disgusted by them now. I definitely do not recommend a Honda to anyone anymore and steer people away from such a horrible company.
Having same issue it seems is widely common from my research where the right motor mount fails and needs to be replaced due to excessive knocking of the motor. We've noticed it for a while now, but it's just getting worse and worse at low idle to low speed, but once RPM is over 1K it is fine and straightens out.
While exiting the parking lot, I adjusted the sun visor and it broke, hitting me on the forehead while obscuring my view. I had received a notice of a class action lawsuit concerning this issue. I called my dealership and they said there wasn't a recall on this part but, yes, there was a class action lawsuit that expired in 2013. She then advised me to call Honda directly. Honda's response was that "we satisfied the court order"and that my visor would not have been replaced back in 2013 as it was not broken. After researching this on the internet, I see that this tends to be a recurring issue, even after the visors are replaced. I was fortunate that this did not happen while I was traveling on the highway and a higher rate of speed.
Pulling in to park vehicle, car suddenly accelerated and car wouldn't stop. Car went over embankment and through a fence before coming to a stop. Insurance company just totaled the car. Unknown whether accelerator and brakes were failing. Car was in good mechanical condition prior to accident and was serviced in last 90 days. Suspect accelerator malfunction sending vehicle into out-of-control situation. Car had no known recall issues.
Hole in the condenser caused by small pebble puncturing it. There is little protection in the grill of the car which easily allows such road debris to damage the condenser. This is a flaw in the design on the car that should be fixed or at least put under warranty.
A female ran a red light speeding at 55 mph in a 30 mph zone ripping off my entire bumper putting a dent on the top of my hood on the driver side and my airbag never came out! before I seen on the news about the recalls, my airbag warning signals always come on and stay on for long periods of time before they go off and this had happen several times!
