“I have a 2007 Honda Civic with 129K miles. 5/27/2022: First, we had a leak on drivers side and had to replace the steering rack, tie rod ends, hoses which cost $3K. Exactly a month later, my car started leaking from the passenger side. They stated the engine block is cracked and need a new engine. There was a recall but since it is past the 10 year mark, they will not fix it. It wasn't even a true recall bc we got absolutely NO communication about this! I am not spending another $4K to get a new engine. This is completely ridiculous and irresponsible of Honda!!!”

“FAULTY A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKS UP THE DRIVE BELT CAUSING THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY TO STOP ROTATING WHICH RESULTS IN THE ENGINE AND ALL ACCESSORIES (POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ETC.) TO TURN OFF RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED-ON AND HAS OCCURRED CONSISTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN IT IS AT IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. NO WARNINGS OR ENGINE FAULT CODES FOUND ON ECU, THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE WILL CAUSE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK-UP, THE POWER BRAKES TO NO LONGER FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND PUTS THE DRIVER AND EVERYONE AROUND AT A SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH.”

“GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL, WITH OUT WARNING, AUTOMATICALLY TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. IT'S THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. IT GOT ALOT WORSE. NOW IT WILL TURN THE STEERING WHEN I START THE CAR. THERE IS NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIKE CHECK ENGINE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. TURNING ALSO WAS HARD. IT WOULD STICK OR BE HARD TO STEER THEN WOULD FIGHT THE WAY YOU WANTED TO GO. HONDA HAS A OPEN CAMPAIGN ABOUT THIS PART THAT IS BAD FOR 150,000 OR 10 YEARS. BUT MY CAR HAS 94,000 AND JUST OVER 10 YEARS AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!”

“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 *BF”

“WHEN DRIVING AND MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS OR U TURNS, THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR(27000 MILES). THE DEALER VISUALLY INSPECTED THE FRONT END BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THE KNOCKING CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. THE CAR HAS 51000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.”
