Body problems of the 2006 Honda Civic

The clearcoat/paint on the roof of my 2006 Honda Civic ex, color galaxy gray is peeling and white spots have emerged. It looks terrible! I keep my car very clean and would like the defect handled appropriately whether that be painting or whatever.

The clear coat has dissolved in several spots.

Exterior paint is cracking and is failing.

Driver door key cylinder failed and required replacement. Could not access car on a sub zero night and had to wait 2 hours for emergency assistance. Driver's door is the only keyed door on this 4 door model. We are now on our third door cylinder since the car was purchased new. Last failure was 3 years ago. Repair costs for this defect now total around $2,000. For the same door!!! have never owned any other car where there was a single lock failure until this Civic (and our family has owned 15 over the years). Of course, Honda's customer service position is "not our problem as the car is out of warranty" this is clearly a supplier design or manufacturing defect. Very disappointing.

My 2006 Honda Civic lx manual transmission in galaxy grey metallic, VIN [xxx], has peeling and cracking paint on the hood, passenger side fender, and roof. On 07/29/16 the car had 38,000 miles. I showed it the dealer on 10/29/15 and they took pictures of the car and sent them to Honda, but I never heard anything from them. This car is waxed twice a year, in the spring and fall with a good quality clear coat safe wax from turtle wax. I take pride in the appearance of this vehicle and Honda?s refusal to remedy the problem is very disappointing. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The air bags in my vehicle did not deploy in a front and back end collision that I was involved in. It caused me to fly forward and injure myself, hitting the steering wheel in my chest and abdomen. My car was at halt at a traffic red light and a ram 1500 van whose brakes failed to apply bumped into my car from behind, which caused my car to also collide with the car in front. This caused severe damage to my car, both in front and back and the air bag signs went on and the seat belt retracted but the air bags did not get deployed inspite of such severe impact.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The sun visor in the vehicle was repaired per a recall. However, the sun visors were still detached from the vehicle and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken the dealer and repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The recall details were unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 131,133.

Heavy, loose objects in trunk struck & broke off trunk latch assembly, preventing rear hatch from being opened in any way, including remote. (no external trunk keyhole exists. ) since rear seat fold-down releases are located in the trunk, one of the rear seats need to be unbolted to be able to pull the seat release, remove the seat, and manually unlatch the trunk. The design of the rear latch is not protected against strikes from heavy objects and is therefore susceptible to damage under normal driving conditions. If the latch were to break, the vehicle get a flat tire, and the driver unable to remove the rear seat for lack of tools or know-how, the driver would be unable to access the spare tire and be stranded.

Lost control of vehicle trying to avoid an object on the highway. My vehicle hit the railing on the interstate and the air bags did not deploy. My vehicle was declared a complete lost as other damage to the frame occurred, and the drivers side front wheel came off.

Clear coat on car is craking and peeling away. What was once a nice car is now a junk car looks very bad. Honda should have a beeter paint and clear coat than this. Advise noone to to purchase a Honda Civic!.

About 6 months ago, when my car was about 6 years old, I started noticing whitish markings in the paint on the roof of my car. Since then these light marks have turned into major chipping and peeling paint. I have never owned a car that had this problem, whether or not the car was mostly in a garage or left outside on the street. Before going into the dealer to complain, I decided to search the web as I had a feeling I was not the only one having this problem. I was right! thousands of other car owners have been experiencing the same thing in both Honda Civic's and accords, from model years 2003 to 2007, and there is even a class action lawsuit detailing the problem. Honda, apparently, is not accepting responsibility for this glaring defect and I, for one, am extremely disappointed in their refusal to step up and recall the cars or issue payments to owners to cover repainting. It is obvious that this is their responsibility, and their refusal to do the right thing, in this day and age of social media, will likely severely hurt their sales. Honda needs to step up and reimburse the thousands of people who own affected cars? the resale value has been severely affected by these defects.

This vehicle was involved in an auto accident in 10/2012 and was labeled as totaled by the insurance company. Airbags deployed when car his railing on highway.

The paint to my 2006 Civic coupe is starting to peel on the roof between the windshield and the sunroof. It looks like a clear coat failure that is affecting many, many Honda owners. Upon calling Honda of America, they acknowledge a paint problem with certain odyssey models but not the Civics even though it is almost the exact same problem.

Vehicle clear coat has come off leaving vehicle looking rusted on roof, trunk, doors, and hood.

I have a 2006 Honda Civic and the clear coat is already peeling off. It began with one spot on the roof of my car and now many more spots have appeared over the past few months. It looks like I am driving a 15 year old car.

The paint on my 2006 Honda Civic is horrible and defective. Honda has had so many issues posted online regarding this in this model and make of car. Please look into this as it is a driving distraction. They really need to recall this issue and address the customer service aspect of this problem.

I noticed the clear coat coming off my Honda Civic about a year ago, and have been trying to get in contact with Honda but the representative only comes every so many months. When I did finally get ahold of him and inform him of the clear coat coming off which even in his words should never happen. I was told since out of warranty they would do nothing even though I I formed him of all the complaints about the clear coat. Honda admitting a problem but refusing to do anything for the valued customer.

The paint on the top of the car around the sunroof started to oxidize after 3-4 years of ownership. It is isolated only to the roof of the car so it has to be a manufacture problem. The car is kept in the sun but no other areas of the car has become oxidized. There are plenty of people with paint issues with the 2006 Honda Civic coupe and this issue should be addressed. If the Honda doesn't pay the repair cost, it will cost everyone with the paint issues hundreds of dollars to have it fixed.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the weather strips on the door were cracked and broken. The strips were replaced the previous year at the dealership. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership for a second time and the contact was informed that he would be responsible for the cost of the repair. The contact had not spoken with the manufacturer at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were 27,824.

Paint/clearcoat peeling on trunk and roof.

We were driving on 2 lane highway at 55 mph. No warning of a pending problem. Half of the front bumper came loose from the frame and fell down and struck the pavement, then began bouncing up and down, tearing things up. Loud noise like piece of tire flapping in wheel well. We stopped and investigated the damage. Could not drive over 35 mph to the next town, some 20 miles away. Reached town and bought and used duct tape to hold the fender up off the ground so we could drive home. We then took the car to a local Honda dealer. We were told the underneath plastic clips and other components were damaged and that the car must have been run into a curb or something like that. I investigated further, as I knew that the car had never hit a curb. It has, however, made scraping noises when passing over a typical parking lot wheel stop. In my judgment, the damage was cause by the fact that the front of the vehicle does not clear wheel stops, and hitting wheel stops has severely damaged the plastic components under the front end, resulting in the bumper falling off at highway speed. Had both sides of the bumper come loose, I would have run over the bumper, probably losing control of the vehicle and becoming involved in a wreck. Looking under the vehicle, you can see that both sides have been damaged by scraping over parking lot wheel stops. We were lucky to have survived. I consider this a serious safety hazard because: 1) we could have been killed; 2) parking with your wheels against a wheel stop in a parking lot is a normal practice and is not something one would normally worry about. Repairs exceeded $485 at a private collision repair center and would have cost approximately $800 at the dealer. Repairs: replaced clips, some plastic components under front end, and repainted bumper. The dealer refused any warranty coverage.

I bought my 2006 Honda Civic ex coupe brand new in November 2005, problems started to occur shortly afterwards for instance the airbag light had a malfunction and recalled the dealer didn't fix it the first time, very inconvenient, brake pedal was fixed before I bought the vehicle, there was a recall on that as well because could fall off and cause a crash. I have taken it in to Honda service to get problems fixed and numerous times, been told that its normal or some other ?!@#$% they always gave me the run around,the service people are rude, mean and incompetent and ignorant. I have taken my 06 Civic in a total of 8-10 times now to fix problems they never fix anything! interior trim is poor/poor altering from the factory, panels loose and popping out interior scratches too easily/fragile cheaply made ?!@#$% (still), front drivers seat wont retract all the way back anymore like it used to (new) weather stripping is lifting up by front windshield (still) various rattles from interior (still), undercoating/under body spray from factory is peeling completely off (new) door panel flexes and rpms rise when using windows/now seems to roll up/down slower than before (still/new) keep in mind im only at 11,000 miles too! Honda and toyotas quality is going downhill very fast especially with the Civic, crv, rdx, mdx, camry, tundra, highlander, landcruiser, yaris, and rav4. The last year before the redesign of these vehicles the quality was great, now it seems like Honda and Toyota are either teaming up together or competing to see who can make the cheapest and ?!@#$% vehicle with cheaply made materials and taking shortcuts, changed a suppliers or something, these problems are unacceptable for a new vehicle.

2006 Honda Civic harbors mice in air ducts/heater fan/cabin air filter assy. Honda refuses to put screen on input to outside air inlet. Mice infested car. I have allergys that cause me to sneeze and have asthma attacks. I believe these attacks lead to dangers while driving. Honda says 'mice stuff' is hazardous material but refuses to correct the problem. My dealer 'vacuumed up 'mice stuff'. However according to government guidlines vacuuming 'mice stuff' can cause more harm than good. Should be disinfected.
