This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The windshield wipers on my 2007 Civic have been replaced 4 times since the purchase of the car in October of 2006. The wipers streak so badly that I cannot see out of the windshield safely. Upon taking the car back to the dealer, they admit that there is a problem that they have experienced with other vehicles, but that the new wipers are only a temporary fix. They have used several different compounds on the windshield to attempt to "erase" whatever problems are causing this issue. They have used a "clay" that is used in body shops to "scrub" down the window. This works momentarily. There is a bigger issue that Honda is not yet addressing. They claim that it is the elements which are responsible for this problem. I refuse to agree with this as this is my 5th new vehicle, and the other 4 had wipers that worked perfectly for over 2 years before needing to be replaced. I am severely annoyed that I've had to keep returning to the dealership and I am still getting no real solution.
