“The sun visors begin separating, dangling and intefere with field of vision during normal traffic conditions. Dealership replaced my visors three times prior to warranty expiration and now they are no longer willing to do it. It is a safety issue because is blocks my field of vision.”
NHTSA complaint #10348338, filed 2010-08, 65,000 miles“I bought my 2006 Honda Civic lx in november 2005. In august 2008 the wear sensor on the front brakes were squealing and I had to have the brake pads replaced and the rotors machined at 8976 miles. I was told that because I live in a geographically hilly area that my brakes would wear sooner than other areas. I find this unusual, other cars that I have driven in the same area did not have this problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10274100, filed 2009-06, 8,976 miles“The radio antenna (located in the rear window defroster) is nothing but static. I live in a major metropolitan area and can not get one radio station to come in clearly. I've had the radio replaced and by the dealer when the car was under warranty with no luck. There is no static with cd's - only radio (fm mostly). Wiring in rear defroster/radio is compromised. Honda service dealerships have not been helpful in resolving this issue or informing me of what the issue was.”
NHTSA complaint #10523513, filed 2013-07, 8,000 miles“I have a 2006 Honda Civic which I had purchase in october 20 06, which I' had only for 8 months. I get in my vehicle to turn the air condition on, and on june 6, 2008 and found out that it only blew out hot air. I am very upset knowing that a vehicle which was not even a year old and because of some so call pebble that get up in the condenser which made it unable to function and on top of that for Honda to be number one for good value with there cars. …”
NHTSA complaint #10192981, filed 2007-06, 22 miles“The air conditioner on my 2006 Honda Civic failed. Since I have a 10-yr extended warranty, I had my Honda dealer diagnose the problem (cost $75). They told me that the AC condenser was damaged due to a rock/pebble impacting the condenser and that the warranty would not cover the problem. I had them replace the condenser (cost: $782). It turns out that there are hundreds of similar complaints about this defect for this Honda and others going back to 2003. There is absolutely no protection in the front grille that would prevent this from happening again. …”
