SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR ALL I HAVE HAD WERE PROBLEMS. THE 1ST PROBLEM WAS THAT THE ODOMETER WAS GOING MORE MILES THAN I WAS DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT WAS EVEN RIGHT ON THE DOT. I TESTED IT AGAINST MY 00 CIVIC AND 3 OTHER CARS. MY CIVIC WAS CONSISTENTLY OFF ON TRIPS OVER 20 MILES. THE FIRST DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT JUST DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK. I TOOK IT THERE 4 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS. I ALSO HAD TO GET AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3.5 WEEKS BECAUSE I HAD GONE 5000 MILES SUPPOSEDLY. THE LAST TIME IT WAS AT THAT DEALER THERE WAS A NEW SERVICE MANAGER WHO'S EXCUSE FOR WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT WAS THAT I HAD SOMEHOW SWITCHED IT FROM MI TO KM AND THAT I NEEDED TO GET OUT THE MANUAL AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. DURING THIS TIME I HAD WRITTEN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT IDEAS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND HOW IT WAS MY FAULT, NOT AN ACTUAL PROBLEM. THE NEXT WEEK I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO RIGHT AWAY FOUND THERE WAS A PROBLEM. WHEN THEY CALLED HONDA TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO SINCE THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS THEY WERE TOLD NOT TO DO ANYTHING. THEY ADVISED I COME BACK AND MEET WITH THE HONDA REP. I DID AND THEY TRIED RUNNING TESTS, CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE AND EVERYTHING CAME UP OK. SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED IT COULD BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AS TIME WENT ON OTHER THINGS STOPPED WORKING RIGHT IN THE CAR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BUZZED WHEN THEY WERE ON. THE CAR HAS HAD TROUBLE STARTING, TEMPERATURE DID NOT AFFECT IT. TURNING THE HEAT AND A/C KNOB WILL CHANGE THE STATION ON THE RADIO. THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WILL STOP WORKING FOR 5 MINUTES THEN COME BACK ON. MORE RECENTLY I'VE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS(AUTO). THE CAR WON'T SHIFT, REVS HIGH, THE JOLTS AND W/CRUISE SET IT JUST ACCELERATES FOR NO REASON. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *NM |

THIS VEHICLE WAS HAVING A CONTINUOUS ROARING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. TOOK TO PROCTOR HONDA OF TALLAHASSEE AND MENTIONED THE PROBLEM. HONDA DEALER NOTICED THE REAR TIRES WERE BEGINNING TO CUP AND ROTATED TIRES TO ADDRESS SOUND ISSUE AND BLAMED THE TIRES AS THE MALFUNCTIONING PART BY RECOMMENDING A TIRE REPLACEMENT. AT THAT TIME THE TIRE TOYO SPECTRUMS WERE ONLY 1 YEAR AND 9 MONTHS OLD HAVING BEING INSTALLED ON 3/2009 , HAD A 65K TREAD LIFE WARRANTY. THE 2006 AND 2007 MODELS OF HONDA CIVIC HAD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED REGARDING THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS CAUSING UNEVEN WEAR OF REAR TIRES (CUPPING) SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER : 08-001DATE OF BULLETIN : FEB 08, 2008 ,NHTSA ITEM NUMBER : 10024687. THIS HONDA WAS PURCHASED ON 11/2007 AND WAS OBVIOUSLY MANUFACTURED DURING THE 2007 YEAR. THE PROCTOR HONDA MECHANICS BELIEVE THAT THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE BUT I HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION REVEALING A DATE ANY SUCH WORK WAS DONE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE PREVIOUS DEALER HENNESSEY HONDA AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND NEITHER HAVE HAD THESE UPPER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. NOW IN MAY 2012 THESE TIRES THAT WERE ROTATED WITH THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE THAT WERE NOT CUPPING IN 2010 ARE NOW SEVERELY CUPPED ( HIGH /LOW AREAS) WHILE THE FRONT TIRES ARE NOT CUPPED AT ALL FROM MY INSPECTION. SEEMS ISOLATED TO THE REAR OF VEHICLE. THE REAR CUPPING OCCURS PRIMARILY ON THE INSIDE PART OF THE TIRE NEAREST TO THE VEHICLE BUT IT IS SEVERE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD THE LOWER ENGINE BLOCK REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING COOLANT PASSAGES WHICH I MIGHT EMPHASIZE THAT THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH. THIS IS MY MOM'S VEHICLE AND I WANT HER TO BE SAFE DRIVING THIS AND DO NOT WANT TO KEEP BUYING NEW TIRES ( OF A DIFFERENT BRAND) ONLY TO HAVE THEM PREMATURELY WORN AND CUPPING OF TIRES CAUSED AS WELL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE ???? *TR |
