2007 Honda Civic Body & Structure Problems

THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE CAR, ALL OVER THE CAR WHICH ISN'T NORMAL...IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND LOOKS TERRIBLE

UPON REPLACING REAR ROTOR'S AND BRAKES I DISCOVERED THAT THE MOUNTING POINT FOR THE REAR TRAILING ARM WAS RUSTED OUT AND NOT REPLACEABLE. UPON INVESTIGATION THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, AND CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL WITH HONDA CANADA, BUT NOT IN THE US. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAKEING NOISES WHILE IN MOTION AND BREAKING SO I ASSUMED IT WAS RUST BUILD UP ON MY CALIPER MOUNT BRACKET. SADLY ITS A POOR DESIGN THAT HONDA WONT ADMIT THAT NORTHERN STATES THAT USE SALT THIS IS A KEY POINT ISSUE. IVE BEEN DRIVING MY DAUGHTER AROUND IN THIS.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING WHILE I WAS INSIDE, IT WAS SO SCARY. I'M LUCKY THAT I'M ALIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY HONDA WITH A CRACKED ENGINE. HONDA WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK LEAK ISSUE BACK IN 2013. INSTEAD OF OFFERING A TOTAL RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR ALL THE RUNNING CIVICS, THEY SIMPLY OFFERED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY, IN CASE THE PROBLEM SURFACES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AUTHORITIES SHOULD INVESTIGATE HOW HONDA IS HANDLING THESE COMPLAINTS. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND STAND BY THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL IT WAS AROUND 3:45 AM MY BROTHER WOKE ME UP SAID THERE WAS A LOUD CRASH OUTSIDE SO WE WENT OUTSIDE TO FIND MY NEIGHBOR PARKING AND I GO OVER TO SEE AND MY CAR WHICH WAS STATIONARY IN THE STREET, IT WAS SMASHED IN FROM THE FRONT, I CALLED THE COPS TO MAKE A REPORT. I BELIEVE MY NEIGHBOR WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOMETHING AS I TRY TO TALK TO HER TO GET HER INSURANCE.

MY CAR IS DARK PEARL BLUE. THE PAINT BEGAN PEELING ON TRUNK AND ROOFTOP OF CAR AROUND APRIL 2017. IT BEGAN AS WHITE CHALKY SPLOTCHES AND HAS GROWN. TODAY MOST OF ROOFTOP IS EXPOSED ALONG WITH TRUNK AND NOW TOPS OF DOORS STARTING TO PEEL. THE REPS AT MY DEALERSHIP STATED THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS PAINT. EVERYTHING I READ STATES HONDA USED CHEAPER PAINT ON CERTAIN YEAR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND PROVIDE OWNERS WITH PAINT JOBS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ONLY PULLED IN ODYSSEY VEHICLES AND NOT ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE.

ORIGINAL PAINT IS PEELING. NEVER KNEW OR TOLD ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR PAINT UNTIL I BROUGHT THE CAR IN YESTERDAY FOR A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL ON THE CAR WHICH ALSO I HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT BY LOOKING UP ONLINE SINCE WE WEREN'T TOLD ABOUT IT. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE CAR PAINT ANYMORE SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED.

THE PAINT OF THE CAR IS PEELING OFF. FROM EVERYWHERE. THIS CAR IS BEING PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR LAST 4 YS. BEFORE THAT IT WAS PARKED IN GARAGE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. ON THE TOP IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SOME CHEMICAL REACTION. ON THE BUMPER , HOOD AND OTHER PLACES IT LOOKS LIKE THE COLOR IS PEELING AND IT SHOWS A WHITE SPOT. THIS CAR IS USED OT DRIVE ONLY FROM HOME TO WORK AND BARELY LONG DISTANCE.

CLEAR COAT IS PEELING OFF CAR ON ROOF AND FRONT ABOVE BOTH HEAD LIGHTS

THE PAINT STARTED TO PEEL AT ONLY 65,000 MILES, BACK IN 2015. THE CAR, AT THAT POINT, WAS 8 YEARS OLD. IT PEELED IN LITERALLY JUST A FEW MONTHS TIME. IT'S NOW PATCHY ON THE HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 07V-399 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: Q56 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION: '06-'07 HCM CIVIC REAR BEARING RECALL DATE: 08/30/2007 RECALL STATUS: 17 CHARACTER VIN REQUIRED SUMMARY: 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. SAFETY RISK: THIS COULD CAUSE A WHEEL TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR ABS SENSORS AND WHEEL BEARINGS FOR DAMAGED PARTS AND REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

FADING PAINT CONDITION. MY CAR IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNIFICANT CLEAR COAT AND PAINT FADING ON THE C PILLAR ,TRUNK LID AND RIGHT FINDER.VEHICLE. CURRENTMILEAGE IS UNDER 55K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE HEADLINER SLIGHTLY DETACHED FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 1/14/16 LN *TR

I HAVE A 2007 BLUE CIVIC SI SEDAN. THE PAINT/CLEARCOAT HAS BEGUN TO OXIDIZE. CLEAR COAT IS FLAKING OFF ALL OVER THE FRONT FENDERS, HOOD, ROOF OF CAR, A PILLARS, C PILLARS, SPOILER AND TRUNK. THE SIDE OF THE CAR HAVE BEEN OK SO FAR. MY CAR JUST MISSED THE RECALL NOTICE BY A FEW MONTHS BUT HAS BECOME WORSE EVERY DAY. I WAX MY CAR 2-3 TIMES A YEAR AND PARK IN A GARAGE AT HOME AND WORK. SO THE SUN HAS MINIMAL CHANCE OF RUINING THE PAINT. BUT THE CLEAR COAT AND PAINT ARE STILL COMING OFF THE CAR ALL OVER. IT LOOK HORRIBLE AND NOW I AM IN NEED OF A NEW PAINT JOB. HONDA STATES THERE WAITING FOR A NEW RECALL TO COME OUT AND COVER THIS BUT IN TELL THEN I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUE AS ITS A GREAT CAR BUT NOW LOOKS LIKE CRAP AND TAKES EVEN MORE WORK TO PREVENT RUST. THE PAINT ISSUES BEGAN A YEAR AFTER MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED. I DID PURCHASE THIS CAR NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER.

THE PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING ALL OVER THE HOOD AND SIDES OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT IS VERY UGLY!

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC START OXIDIZING AND PEELING AWAY 2 YEARS AGO. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST A SMALL SPOT AT THE BACK OF THE ROOF AND NOW IT IS MANIFESTING TO ALL OVER THE ROOF. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR 2007 CIVICS FOR PAINT PEELING AND I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. I FEEL AS HONDA IS MOST ASSUREDLY BEING DECEITFUL WITH THEIR CUSTOMERBASE AND CERTAINLY NOT TAKING CARE OF THEM AS THEY SHOULD. I FELT SAFE AND CONFIDENT PURCHASING A HONDA JUST KNOWING THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND KNEW I WOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES IN THE END. SILLY ME.

THE DOORS DO NOT STAY OPEN LIKE EVERY CAR USUALLY DOES WHEN THEY ARE OPENED. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM WHEN LOADING AND UNLOADING CAR SEATS, PEOPLE, GROCERIES, ETC. WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPENED, THEY AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE BACK UP. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE THE DOOR, (WHEN IT CLOSES BY IT'S SELF,) HITS A LOT PEOPLE IN THE BACK THAT EXPECTING THE DOOR TO STAY OPEN WHEN THEY ENTER THE CAR. THERE IS ALSO RISK OF IT SLAMMING A PERSONS FINGER. I GET MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MY PASSENGERS. *TR

THE CLEAR COAT AND PAINT JOB IS BUBBLING AND GETTING READY TO CRACK AND EXPOSE THE CAR TO RUST. *TR

EARLY 2014 WE APPROACHED HONDA OF COLUMBIA, THE PURCHASE POINT OF THIS CAR, ABOUT THE FACTORY PAINT FLAKING AND COMING OFF. HONDA SAYS WE HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR REPAINTED AND SHOW THEM THE RECEIPT BEFORE THEY WILL HELP OFFER FINANCIAL HELP. THAT COSTS US $4000+ OUT OF OUR POCKET AND THEN THEY MAY SUBSIDIZE THE COST. THIS CAR MISSES THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE PAINTING BY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HER CAR HAS BEEN WELL KEPT BUT NOT GARAGED. INDEPENDENT PAINT SHOPS CONFIRM THAT IT IS A FAULT W/ THE ORIGINAL PAINTING PROCESS. NEARLY THE WHOLE TOP/FLAT SURFACES OF THE CAR ARE IN QUESTION: SPOILER, ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD, FENDERS AND ALL OTHER HORIZONTAL SURFACES ARE AFFECTED. THE VERTICAL PORTIONS ARE IN ACCEPTABLE SHAPE. THE LOCAL DEALER HONDA OF COLUMBIA, S.C. SAYS THIS CAR DOESN'T FALL INTO THE FACTORY RECALL CRITERIA BECAUSE IT IS AN '07 AND THEY ONLY QUALIFIED UP TO '06. ONE OF THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPS ASSURED US THEY IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT EVEN THE COLOR WAS ONE LISTED ALONG W/ THE OTHER CAR COLORS. NOT HONDA OF COLUMBIA DENIES THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE REPAINTED BEFORE THEY WILL HELP PAY, BUT NOW ONLY OFFER $1000 TO SUBSIDIZE THE COST AND STILL WONT TELL ME HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL HONDA OF AMERICA SERVICE FOLKS AND TALK TO THEM THEY HAVE YET TO ANSWER A CALL. THERE IS NO ANSWER OF ANY KIND SO I AM UNABLE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. WHAT SHOULD I DO... *TR

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR IS HAZING AND THE CLEAR COAT IS PEELING. THE HOOD OF MY CAR ALSO HAS WHITE SPOTS. HONDA GARAGE IN MOON TWP., PA WILL ONLY PAY HALF OF THE COST TO PAINT THE ROOF OF MY CAR. THEY SAID THERE WAS A "GOODWILL RECALL" THAT ENDED IN SEPT 2014, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THIS. *TR

THIS CIVIC IS GALAXY GREY. THE ROOF AND TRUNK PAINT HAS BEGUN TO CLOUD, FADE, CRACK, AND PEEL. WHILE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, IT WILL AFFECT THE RESALE VALUE OF THE CAR. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT SHE GOT HER CIVIC PAINTED BECAUSE OF A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY CAR AT THE HONDA DEALER IN KILLEEN TEXAS, BUT I CALLED MY LOCAL GREG MAY HONDA IN WACO TX SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I TOLD THEM I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE STATING THERE WAS A RECALL, AND SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT IT. I WAS HAVING THE EXACT COLOR ISSUES WITH PEALING, CLOUDY COLOR ON MY ROOF, AND A FEW OTHER PANELS ON MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT ITS PAST DUE NOW, AND I BASICALLY WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS. I AM HAVING MY CAR ROOF PAINTED THIS WEEKEND, AND WILL HAVE TO DO THE REST AS I CAN AFFORD IT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL THAT HONDA SAID WAS HAPPENING IF YOU NEVER SENT A NOTIFICATION TO ME.??? I HAVEN'T BEEN ONLINE HERE SINCE I PAID MY CAR OFF, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WOULD HAVE RECALLS ETC ON HERE. I WILL KEEP WATCH NOW THAT I KNOW. I LOVE MY HONDAS THIS IS MY SECOND CIVIC I ALSO HAD AN ACCORD. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING FOR ME? I HAVE PHOTO'S OF MY CAR WITH THE DAMAGE IF YOU NEED PROOF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION REGARDING THE ABOVE MATTER. *TR

AFTER ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I NOTICED THE PAINT STARTED TO APPEAR RATHER DUSKY. A SHORT TIME LATER, MY PAINT STARTED TO PEEL! MY CAR WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AT TIME OF PURCHASE- SO PEELING PAINT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT OWNERS FAULT. NO SOONER DID MY ROOF BEGIN TO PEEL HEAVILY, THE HOOD AND SIDE PANELS AND NOW TRUNK ARE STARTING TO PEEL EXCESSIVELY. IT IS SO EMBARRASSING, AND SO GROSS. *TR

OPENED OUR TRUNK RECENTLY AND WATER POURED INTO THE TRUNK FROM THE TRUNK DOOR WHEN WE LIFTED IT. KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY TIME AFTER A RAINY DAY (WHICH IS ALOT IN FLORIDA). NOW OUR TRUNK IS SMELLY, MOLDY AND DAMP. WE CANNOT PUT OUR GROCERIES, PURSE, SUITCASES, ETC INTO THE TRUNK OR ELSE THEY WILL GET WET. IT SMELLS SO BAD IN THE CABIN AREA THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO BREATHE AND YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN WHICH IS DIFFICULT WITH MY ALLERGIES. THE THINGS WE KEPT IN THE TRUNK LIKE THE JACK ARE NOW RUSTED AND THE BAG WHERE I KEPT MY JUMPER CABLES IS MOLDY. DIFFICULT TO USE THE CAR NOW SINCE WE CANNOT PUT ANYTHING INTO IT SAFELY AND CANNOT BREATHE IN THE CABIN AREA. *TR

THE PAINT STARTED PEELING ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR, THEN WENT ON TO START ON MY HOOD. IT HAS BEEN QUICKLY PEELING MORE AND MORE AND LOOKING WORSE AND WORSE. BEFORE I WENT TO SPEND $600+ ON A NEW PAINT JOB, I FOUND OUT ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING TO THEIR HONDA CIVICS. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE QUALITY OF HONDA'S PAINT, WHICH IS WHAT MOST SOURCES ARE SAYING, THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. IT'S A 2007, THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

SHORTLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY I BEGAN TO NOTICE ISSUES WITH THE PAINT JOB. THE PAINT BEGAN TO DEVELOP LARGE AREAS ON THE ROOF, HOOD, FENDERS, AND SEVERAL OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR THAT WERE EXTREMELY FADED WITH THE CLEAR COAT TOTALLY WEARING THROUGH. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEARLERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS WHEN A REGIONAL REP. WOULD BE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR HIM TO EXAMINE. I CALLED BACK AND WAS ASKED IF I COULD BRING THE CAR DOWN THAT DAY, LUCKILY I WORK ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR DOWN. WHEN I GOT THERE MY SERVICE ADVISOR TOOK THE CAR FOR THE "REGIONAL" GUY TO HAVE A LOOK. ABOUT 40 MINUTES LATER MY SERVICE ADVISOR CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE LOUNGE TO TELL ME THAT, ACCORDING TO THE "REGIONAL" GUY, WHO I NEVER MET, SAID THAT IT WAS QUOTE, "ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES" THAT CAUSED THE ISSUES WITH THE PAINT JOB AND SUGGESTED THAT KEEPING THE CAR OUT OF THE SUN ( IN FLORIDA !!!! ) WOULD HELP. IN AN EFFORT TO RETAIN ME AS A CUSTOMER, SINCE BOTH MYSELF AND MY WIFE HAVE BOUGHT HONDAS FROM THAT DEALERSHIP, THEY WOULD MAKE AN OFFER TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE PAINT JOB AND THAT THEY WOULD REPAINT AND MY HALF OF THE BILL WOULD ONLY BE $1200.00 !!!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY I TURNED THEIR OFFER DOWN AND WILL SIMPLY NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA NOR WILL ANYONE ELSE IN MY FAMILY !!!!!! *TR

CLEAR COAT AND PAINT ARE PEELING FROM TOP OF VEHICLE IN FRONT OF, AND BEHIND THE SUNROOF. *TR

PREMATURE PAINT FADING ON TOP OF CAR FRONT OF MOONROOF AND BACK OF ROOF AND GROWING. *TR

PAINT/CLEAR COAT IS DETERIORATING AND CRACKING. HONDA DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA STATE THAT SINCE THE CAR IS BEYOND THE 3 YR WARRANTY, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO (EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT). *TR

THE PRIMER/PAINT/TOP COAT BEGAN TO FAIL ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE CONTAINED TO THE HOOD AND ROOF, AND IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE QUALITY OF THE FINISHING PRODUCTS USED BY HONDA ON THIS CAR. *TR

PAINT ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE (BLACK) FADING, CHIPPING, OXIDIZING SAME AS NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND SEVERAL OTHERS. THE WEAR ON THIS PAINT IS NOT "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" FOR A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, NOR IS IT A RESULT OF INADEQUATE WAX, MAINTENANCE, ETC. THIS IS A DEFECT WHICH HONDA SHOULD FIX. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LOW QUALITY THIS VEHICLE IS REFLECTING ON HONDA PRODUCTS. *TR

CLEAR COAT/PAINT IS COMING OFF ON DRIVER'S SIDE ROOF AND DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FRAME. CAR HAS BEEN KEPT UP WITH WASHES ONLY LIKE SUGGESTED AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

DEFECTIVE PAINT ON THIS YEAR CIVIC. APPARENTLY ACCORDING TO INTERNET REPORTS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I JOINED THE CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HONDA, NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

IM SURE IM NOT THE 1ST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE MY CAR IS NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL ITS A 2DR HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE I'VE NOTICED THAT THE TOP OF MY ROOFS PAINT IS STARTING TO FADE AND IS SPREADING THAT'S NOT NORMAL. THE CLEAR CODE IS GOING AWAY LEAVING SPOTS THE SIZE OF A HAND. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

PAINT ON THE ROOF STARTED FADING AND IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. HONDA WON'T COVER THE PAINT ON THE ROOF UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR HAS BEEN STEADILY PEELING. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY ADMITTED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS THEY DON'T COVER FOR THE DAMAGES. IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WHEN WE STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE PAINT ON MY CAR IS STARTING TO FADE ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND CRACKING ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC'S PAINT STARTED WEBBING AND PEELING ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OVER A YEAR AGO. DEALER SAID NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT SUGGESTED AN AUTO BODY SHOP I COULD GO TO. THANKS BUT NO THANKS. AM NOT SPENDING OVER 1,000 DOLLARS FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN HONDA'S PAINT/PRIMER. NO MORE HONDA'S FOR ME.MY CAR WHICH I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF LOOKS HORRIBLE. *TR

PAINT ON THE ROOF AND RAILS IS GETTING OXIDIZED(WITH MULTIPLE PATCHES ALL OVER THE ROOF) ON MY HONDA CIVIC COUPE 2007. I'M FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND I DO NOT EXPECT THE PAINT TO GET OXIDIZED WITH IN 5 YEARS. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX MY CAR AND THE PAINT THEY USE AND ALSO HONDA SHOULD MAKE DEALS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FIX THE PAINT OXIDIZING WITH 10 YEARS OF THE CAR PURCHASE. *JS

PAINT. I HAVE NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL, AND HOOD IS SPIDERWEBBING. SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS COLOR ON 06-07-08 CIVIC. PLEASE ADVISE. GOOGLE RETURNS TONS OF INFO ON THIS SEARCH.. EXAMPLE HTTP://WWW.HONDACARFORUM.COM/HONDA-TECHNICAL/38106-HAS-ANYONE-ELSE-HAD-PROBLEMS-2007-2006-HONDA-CIVICS-PAINT.HTML. *TR

PAINT / CLEAR COAT FAILURE ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC IN 4 YEARS. PAINT / CLEAR COAT HAS OXIDIZED AND BEGUN CHIPPING AWAY DOWN TO BARE METAL ON ROOF, HOOD, AND AROUND DOOR AND TRUNK EDGES. *TR

THE TRUNKLID OF THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC DEPARTS FROM THE OPEN POSITION WHILE PARKED ON A STEEP GRADE OR WITH A GUST OF WIND. SINCE MOST OF THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUNKLID IS AFT THE VELOCITY OF ITS MOVEMENT INCREASES AS IT IS CLOSING. THE ISSUE IS PERSONS ATTEMPTING TO LOAD OR RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT MAY SUFFER HEAD INJURY AS THE LID IS MOVING TO THE CLOSED POSITION WITHOUT WARNING STRIKING THE PERSON. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT OPEN. ONE FINE AFTERNOON, I TRIED TO MOVE THE SUN VISOR IN MY CAR, THE PLASTIC SPLIT OPEN WITH CRACK SOUND. I THOUGHT IT JUST THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, BUT WHEN I STARTED LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT, I FOUND LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ADDING A COMPLAIN TO LET YOU KNOW ITS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC. *TR

WHEN I LOADED MY STUFF INTO THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK LID DIDN'T STAY AND FELL DOWN AND HIT MY UPPER ARM. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED BRUISE ON MY ARM. I'VE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC PAINT IS DEFECTED. CROWSFEET ALLOVER THE HOOD AND FENDERS.HONDA WILL NOT COVER 100 PERCENT. *TR

MY PAINT CRACKED ON MY HOOD, ROOF AND FENDERS. I DID HAVE BIRD POOP EAT THROUGH THE PAINT ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. I KNEW HONDA WOULDN'T COVER THE BIRD POOP BUT I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE CRACKS. HONDA SERVICE SAID THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE CRACKS FROM WHO KNOWS WHAT SO I HAD TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I HAD TO HAVE ALL THOSE PLACES ON MY CAR PAINTED. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PAINT AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME. I BELIEVE HONDA'S PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR'S PAINT BE SO SOFT AND OF POOR QUALITY. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR AND BELIEVE IF THE PAINT DOESN'T HOLD UP THEN RUST WILL ENSUE AND THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THE GUY AT THE BODY SHOP SAID THAT HE HAD TO REPAINT 4 HONDA VANS THAT HAVE THE BLUE PAINT BECAUSE THE PAINT WAS DEFECTIVE. I BELIEVE THE SILVER PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE BUYING THESE CARS AND BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO LAST A LONG TIME AND THEY ARE NOT. MY 1992 HONDA ACCORD'S PAINT HELD UP SO WHY ISN'T MY 2007 CIVIC DOING THE SAME? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR RUBBER MOLDING WAS DEFECTIVE. THE RUBBER WOULD COME OUT OF PLACE AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO TRIP WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RUBBER MOLDING ONCE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE SAFETY SPLASH SHIELDS THAT PROTECT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE DETACHED AND WERE DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. THE SPLASH SHIELDS WERE DESTROYED AND REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH A SECOND SHIELD AND IT WAS REPLACED AS WELL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS DUE TO STRIKING BUMPS ON THE GROUND WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM TO BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 01/14/09. *LJ UPDATED 01/15/09. *JB

2007 HONDA CIVIC HAS A REFLECTION OF THE DASH BOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A DISTRACTION. THE CONSUMER STATED DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE SUN, THERE WAS A REFLECTION THAT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *JB

I LEASED A 07 HONDA CIVIC; I AM HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO A WATER LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES WERE COVERED BY MFG WARRANTY. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE IS BEING ATTRIBUTED TO HIGH STANDING WATER AND IS NOT COVERED. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE WAS IN 08/07, 5 MONTHS AFTER I LEASED THE VEHICLE. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND AT THAT TIME, THE CARPETING AND PADDING WAS REPLACED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS IN 07/08 THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT WAS THE VEHICLE WAS IN HIGH STANDING WATER. ADDITIONAL TESTS WERE RUN AND LEAKS WERE FOUND AND REPAIRED. THE CARPETING AND THE PADDING WERE REPLACED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS IN 9/08. THE SAME REASON WAS USED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN HIGH STANDING WATER. THIS OCCURRENCE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY MFG WARRANTY. I AM WORKING WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. MY COMPLAINT IS IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HISTORICAL ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKING. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED AND REPAIRED SOME OF THE ISSUES. THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND NOW IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. I AM ON MY OWN AND HONDA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE AND MY INSURANCE RATES WILL INCREASE AS A RESULT OF THIS CLAIM. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I AM TO DO THE NEXT TIME IT RAINS HARD AND THE FLOORBOARD OF MY VEHICLE IS SOAKED AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT A NEW 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID AND THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST STOPPED WORKING. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALER I FOUND OUT THAT A/C CONDENSER WAS DAMAGED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO SMALL PEBBLES ON THE ROAD AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE A/C CONDENSER. IT'S NOT ONLY ON THE CIVIC, BUT ALSO THE ACCORD AND CR-V. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE IT FIXED. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING IN FRONT OF THE CONDENSER TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING DAMAGED. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP. I HAVE ALREADY INFORMED EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM: FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND CO-WORKERS. WE WERE DECIDING TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA CAR THIS YEAR, BUT UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS FIXED WE WILL NOT BUY ANY HONDA'S OR ITS PARTNERS SUCH AS ACURA. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE LAST FEBUARY( HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS UNTIL TONIGHT CAR IS LEAKING RIGHT THERE AT THE SEAMS OF THE REAR AIR BAGS AND ROOF MEET, THE RIGHT SIDE, WATER RUNNING DOWN THE SIDES ONTO THE SEAT, DISCOVERED THE OTHER SIDE WAS LEAKING AT THE SAME PLACE BUT NOT AS BAD . FEEL A COOL BREEZE FROM BOTH SIDES. LEFT SIDE IN THE FRONT WHERE PLASTIC AND FABRIC MEET AT THE TOP WAS LEAKING AS WELL,THE INTERIOR IS SOAKED THROUGH. OBVIOUSLY THERES A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAL OR SOMETHING BUT I AM ABSOLUTITLY FURIOUS ABOUT THIS SITUATION,I DID NOT SPEND $25,000 ETC. IN CASH,FOR MY DAMM CAR TO LEAK A RIVER,THATS SOMETHING I WOULD EXPECT FROM MY 35 YEAR OLD HOUSE,NOT MY UNDER A YEAR OLD CAR. AND A SIMPLE CLEANING FROM A DETAILER IS NOT GONNA FIX MY PROBLEM. I AM SO PISSED I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPRESS IT. I JUST WANT TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED EVEN IF THAT RESULTS IN GETTING A NEW CAR AND STARTING OVER AGAIN,CAUSE THE WAY I SEE IT IS THAT MY CAR IS DAMAGED GOODS, YES YOU CAN FIX THE PROBLEM (MAYBE) BUT THERES ALREADY WATER DAMAGE AND WHO'S KNOWS HOW FAR THE WATER HAS GONE OR WHAT IT HAS LEAKED INTO AND IF IT IS TO BE FIXED WHO DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I DON'T EXACTLY HAVE A LOT OF MONEY, BY BUYING THIS CAR IT IS A HUGE PART OF ME THAT HAS TO LAST AND IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN I WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAVE THIS CHANCE TO OWN A NEW CAR AGAIN AND I'M NOT GONNA LET THIS SLIP BY LIKE ITS NOTHING. I DIDN'T KNOW WHO EXACTALY IS IN CHARGE OR WHO TO GO TO SO IF CHANCE BE YOU CAN'T HELP ME I'M SURE YOU CAN DIRECT ME TO SOMEONE WHO CAN CORRECT IT. FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME. PLEASE CONTACT ME A.S.A.P BEFORE I HAVE A SMALL POND, RIVER OR LAKE IN MY CAR(AND AT THAT TIME THE DAMAGE WILL ALREADY HAVE BEEN DONE). *TR
