“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, HE HEARD A GROUNDING SOUND COMING FOR THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

“RAPID TIRE WEAR OCCURRED ON THE INNER PORTIONS OF BOTH REAR TIRES. THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AFTER NOTICING MUCH ROAD NOISE AND HAVING THE TIRES ROTATED. TWO NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY AFTER CONSULTING TWO DIFFERENT HONDA GARAGES THEY BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARMS WERE INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND ARE WITHIN SPEC. BOTH GARAGES RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TIRES AGAIN, BUT THIS IS BECOMING VERY COSTLY. THE RIDE OF THE CAR OVER THE LAST YEAR HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND NOW I'M NOTICING BRAKING PROBLEMS. THE CAR HOPS IN THE BACK WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA IS DENYING THE PROBLEM AND HAS OFFERED NO COMPENSATION. *TR”

“THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL ON MY LAP AND HONDA REPLACED IT BECAUSE IT WAS STILL ON WARRANTY.. BUT NOW THE PASSENGER VISOR IS HANGING DOWN BUT HONDA WONT REPLACE BECAUSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FRONT BRAKES DOES WEAR OUT AROUND 12K MILES AFTER REPLACING IT WITH THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME (HONDA DONT WANT TO ADMIT THAT THEY USE POOR QUALITY PADS SO YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK TO THEM FOR REPLACEMENT, THEY SAY ITS THE WAY YOU DRIVE BUT I DID POINT OUT TO THEM THAT IF I DRIVE LIKE A MANIAC I WOULD HAVE ALSO NEED TO REPLACE MY TIRES WHICH LASTED ME MORE THAN 50K MILES) I DECIDED GO GET AN AFTERMARKET CERAMIC PADS AND HAD IT INSTALLED FROM PEPBOYS. ITS BEEN MORE THAN 30K MILES AND BRAKES ARE STILL FINE. THE WIPER BLADE ON DRIVER SIDE DOES BECOME STICKY ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH LEAVES UNPLEASANT STREAK ON MY WINDSHIELD.. EVEN AFTER GETTING A NEW WIPER IT STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.. I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BY REPLACING MY DRIVER WIPER WITH A SHORTER ONE(ORIGINAL IS 26" NOW I HAVE 24"). *TR”

“I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT APPROX. 45 MPH IN MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC.SEEING THAT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL HAD JUST TURNED RED I APPLIED THE BRAKES. AT THAT INSTANT I HEARD A "POP" AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON MY DASHBOARD. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT STRIKING ANYONE. I "NURSED" THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BLOWN BRAKE LINE. A NEW LINE WAS INSTALLED , AT A COST OF $280.00. I WAS TOLD THAT "YOU MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING WHICH SHOT UP AND STRUCK THE LINE". I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT, JUST AS I STATED ABOVE, "I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND HEARD A POP! I DEFINITELY DID NOT STRIKE ANYTHING! I THEN REQUESTED THE REPLACED BRAKE LINE WHICH I NOW HAVE IN MY POSSESSION. *TR”

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HOUSING USES AN O-RING SEAL TO PREVENT LEAKAGE TO OR FROM THE WHEEL BEARING. IF ASSEMBLED IMPROPERLY, THE O-RING MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE WHEEL BEARING AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BEARING, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE USE OF ROAD SALT IS PREVALENT. IF THE DRIVER CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WHEEL BEARING TO BECOME LOOSE, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL.
