Transmission issue Started from no where, I keep my car maintained all the time, making sure of oil, other maintenance. Even exterior cleaning. After checking with many places and online they mentioned it-??s the 3rd clutch for the transmission. I have the same issue after driving 600 miles. Still trying to find out why this happened.
Both sun visors (driver and passenger) fail to stay in their position, resulting in them rotating down, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD; OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY THRU FRONT WINDSHIELD. Additionally because the visors don't stay in their position, they hang down creating AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD to any unsuspecting occupant getting into or out of the vehicle because you STRIKE YOUR HEAD ON THE MISPOSITIONED VISORS. The driver side visor on our vehicle has been replaced twice (10-21-2010, mileage 21188 and 7-3-2012, mileage 27839 under TSB). It is well over due needing to be replaced a third time. It appears only after a class action lawsuit Cooper v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., did Honda issue TSB 11-031 to replace driver side (ds) visors. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONSEQUENCE, OBSTRUCTED VISIBILITY AND IMMEDIATE STRIKING HAZARDS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. I have contacted, 8-1-2022, Honda's Customer Service and reported this reoccurring issue to them and they said they have no obligation to address the visor issue due to the age and mileage limitations established in THEIR service bulletin. Our vehicle has only 97591 miles on it. Well below the mileage limit. What gives them the right to establish the duration of liability for their defective product" SAFETY SHOULD BE THEIR NUMBER ONE CONCERN. Please give me some guidance as to how to proceed to address this immediate safety issue with my vehicle. This inherent problem revealed itself 4 years after purchase. Honda has NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. Please send me a response you received this submission. Thank you. PS How do I attach a video of visors rotating unassisted"
Originally this happened 2 years ago.. The bracket where my serpentine pivot arm and my alternator mounts to my engine block. Well those bolts broke the holes they screw into on my engine block. Jb weird this together temporarily till finding a better fix. My engine block is the cast aluminum so u can't well anything on there to hold the screws in. The other day I am driving my car and the bolts just came out while driving causing my belt to slip off and I couldn't turn my steering wheel.
The visors on both the passenger and driver side split in half and were hanging down. This caused the visors to block my field of vision and made driving more hazardous. There were no warnings prior to failure; however, I found online that this is a known problem (https://considertheconsumer.com/class-action-settlements/honda-civic-visor-recall-settlement). Honda did not contact me concerning the recall and I did not find out about it until I googled the information.
The passenger visor will not go back up and hangs down which could have an effect if the passenger airbag deploys, the visor might snap if it is forced back up and visibility could be a problem if the sun comes in that way. I have major concerns for deployment of the passenger airbag. The visor is stationary and in motion on the highway and on city streets as well as turning on all roads
Takata recall hi I am having several issues with the ignition not wanting to turn for several moments after putting the key inside to start my 2007 Honda xivic LX sedan and then all of a sudden the lights and power to the doors and windows work but car won't roll over to start. The car has been flashing a wrench like bar along with what looks like shape of the motor for 2 months as well ad I've just had an oil change done 4 days ago but yet it still reads oil life 5% B1 on the dash which won't clear nothing was wrong with spark plus or anything else under hood from valvoline's stand point when checked other than wipers don't never want to shut off as well. Thank you and regards [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
There was a recall on the sun visor brought it in had it fixed it was splitting at the top would not stay up happened again same thing happened took it in all they did was put some glue on it took it for the 3rd time they want me to pay $100 to have it fixed this is a problem visor won't stay up splitting again
Driver window won't go up or down and there is a very strong plastic type smell. The smell was so strong that we immediately became dizzy even with the passenger window down & sunroof wide open. We drove less than a mile. It has been over an hour and we are still feeling nauseous, dizzy and weak in the knees. I am afraid to drive it again because I believe we would have passed out if driven further. No check lights came on, no previous indication of a problem.
Defective engine and transmission mounts. A design issue that has many owners repairing (cost of $800) mounts at 65-85,000 miles. Car vibrates after the car is cold especially when in reverse. After engine warms up, the vibrations dissappear except when the gas is released and engine breaking occurs. If clutch is dissengagued the vibrations decrease. This issue is as common as the visor problem from a couple years back and is a known design flaw from the factory. Issue occurs over vehicle life after 65,000 miles
On August 31, 2017 while I was driving on the highway, the car stopped running and smoke came out of the hood suddenly. Fortunately I managed to pull over the car to a safe place immediately beside the highway otherwise I would have been in a fatal situation. I had the car towed to the dean Honda at pittsburgh where they performed the diagnosis to find the root cause of the problem. They identified that there was crack in the engine block which has caused the coolant to leak from the engine and hence overheating of the engine has happened. They told me that the engine has to be replaced and few other parts as well (like spark plug etc.) to make the car running again which would cost me around $4000. I did some research over the internet regarding this issue and found that most of the 2006 to 2009 Civics had the engine crack issue and tsb 10-048 was issued and the warranty of such engines were extended to 10 years and that would cover the replacement of the engine if such issues are found. I checked with my service consultant at dean Honda if this would be covered under the extended warranty. He did a VIN inquiry and said the warrant has expired 10 days ago and this won't be covered. (the original purchase date of the car was 22-Aug-2007 and this incident happened to me on 31-Aug-2017). This is a big blow to me. This is my first car in the us. I bought this car as the second owner in July 2015 with only 36000 miles on it and I have hardly driven 15000 miles over the past two years without any issues. The previous owner also never had any issues with it and that's why I purchased it with confidence. Considering customer's safety, these engines needs to be recalled by Honda and replaced with new ones or at least the warranty of these engines needs to be extended further (for at least for 5 more years). I was lucky enough to survive a fatal accident.
Driver side visor broken. Dangles and dangerously blocks driver's vision. It was part of recall in 2012. Had it repaired by Honda 2/7/2012 as instructed. It has failed again...same exact problem. Notified Honda but was advised out of warranty. My opinion is warranty should not expire on a known defective part. They simply installed another visor of the same design knowing that it too would fail.
After about 4 years the paint faded really bad on the roof and hood. I talked to Honda about it at the time and they said they had had lots of complaints but that my year was not one that was covered. Recently I went in and they told me that my year had been covered but that time has run out. I feel that they should have advised people if there was an issue. Since I was told it wasn't covered by my dealer and then later told it was and time had run out.
The sun visor on the driver's side broke in July 2015 along the joint where the rod runs through it. Had gone to a friend's house, and when I went back out to my car, the sun visor was broken. Nothing else had happened to the car; just the broken sun visor. Sun visor now constantly hangs down vertically, obstructing view. Only temporary solution is pushing the visor to the side, but that obstructs the view of traffic on the side of the vehicle. Problem occurred about one year outside Honda's extended warranty for the visor. Not sure what to do.
I've had/having several problems with my 2007 Honda Civic that I bought brand new. My back tires have worn very unevenly over the years and because of this car eating tires I've replaced tires almost every 2 years. There is also a popping sound when driving when you make a tight turn. I've also had many problems with my A/C. I've had the blower fan stop working and some component relating to it replaced 3 times. My A/C recently stopped blowing cold air after it spit out frozen freon through my vents. Mechanic has told me my freon was empty and compressor locked up. Now I need to throw money ($1400) at this repair as well!...updated 07/19/16
I have crack on my engine block upfront where's leek out antifreeze from block when I came dealership they said it doesn't cover my vehicle but when I check online it problem issues recall on this model so what should I have to do I'm student I buy this car for cash and I see this issue factory belong my vehicle has only 115000 miles can you respond me please.
On my 2007 Civic ex, the driver side visor popped open at the parting line near the hinge and the plastic ribs inside broke. It does not want to snap back into place in any direction (front, back, or side). It hangs so low that it is blocking the view of the road (front windshield and driver side window) at all times. I am very disappointed with Honda that it is not listed as a safety concern...because it is.
In 2011 Honda settled a class action suit involving defective sun visors. My car had both visors replaced in, I believe, 2012. Both are cracked just as the originals were. The danger is in the driver side defective sun visor. It can flop down unpredictably and and distract the driver. If it flops down halfway, its edge is aimed at my forehead and injure me. The only inexpensive and quick repair is a binder clip attached to the broken parts to hold them together.
