general problems of the 2006 Honda Civic - part 1

I. M. A reads a d check engine.

My car ran fine when started but the a few minutes later, it goes into limp mode where I cannot accelerate. Then it stalls out and now it won't restart. I do not know exactly what the problem is but my check engine light, ima and red battery light comes on when it happened. As of now, my car is not even starting. This almost caused an accident because I was driving on the freeway when it randomly decided to go into this limp mode.

Car lost power while trying to make a left turn across traffic. Ima battery charge dropped and no assist was delivered. Oncoming car was able to stop in time, but barely. This has now happened on a number of occasions. Car lost power while climbing a hill in a residential neighborhood (15 mph) and barely made it to the top. Car lost power while climbing a short steep driveway and could not ascend; had to roll backwards and "force charge" the ima battery in low gear for 10 minutes, after which I was able to climb the driveway easily. Decided to replace the ima battery due to obvious malfunction although no codes were being thrown. Problem improved significantly but once again experienced lack of power on steep, low-speed hills and in our driveway. Battery software seems schizophrenic, deciding to charge itself rather than assist when power is needed, such as hills or merging into or across traffic, even when there seems to be ample battery reserve (for example, after swapping out the ima battery it refused to provide assist on the hill with approximately 40% remaining -- 4 bars -- but will gladly provide assist at 50% + battery charge. Sometimes battery does not charge while braking downhill even though charge is needed. Unpredictable. The sudden loss of power whenever the ima assist decides that it 't* going to help is extremely dangerous. Honda is aware of this problem but has not offered any solutions outside of 150k / 15 year warranty on the ima battery, which has lapsed on our 2006. Reluctant to let my young adult daughter drive this car as loss of power while merging or crossing lanes of traffic could result in a serious accident.

Key for this make is not recognized. Honda said it is a "inmobilization system issue. Key flashes on dashboard and it wont start (key programmed). They know about this problem for this year. I'm concerned it can stop at any given moment causing an accident.

I got a 2006 Honda Civic lx the airbag light is on last week . Keep blinking and I dont know why now my car wont start the mechanic said I have a problem on the fuel pump and starter . That happend when I drop off my 6yrs old daugther to her school all day I keep thinking what happend . My car stuck there for 1week I got a street cleaning ticket and I dont have a choice to get a towing service s.

I have the common issue the 2006 Civic. My engine block cracked. There was already a class action lawsuit on this matter but of course it only went 10 years. Honda was in the wrong here. Why was this not a recall? I'm super frustrated. Car is available for inspection. It is at the Honda dealership right. Now.

Paint has peeled from the whole car. Honda created a recall and never informed me. I had taken the car to the dealership for service during the recall and they never mentioned it. Once I noticed there was a recall I contacted them but they said it was too late. However, I was never informed and they said nothing during dealer visits. I have heard they don't want to notify people because the fix is very expensive as it is done outside of the dealership by private companies they partner with. I had to pay out of pocket for what should have been covered by their recall.

The ima system keeps kicking on after driving it when you come to a full stop and put it in park and causing the car to stay in park and not able to get it in gear. Wait a little over 30 minutes and try again and it will allow you to put it in gear and drive. I have done the recall however it is still doing the samething.

The key can fall out/be removed from the vehicle while it is running or traveling. This is extremely alarming. This the second time I have reported this issue. There was never any communication with me after the first complaint on 5/29/2018. I need help with this, and will keep escalating since this matter doesn't seem to be important enough for an investigation.

While the vehicle is in �drive�, the key is able to be pulled out of the ignition. Can be both stationary and in motion.

Visor unclipped near the hinge and doesn't stay up. The visor slowly drops down obscures my vision. The car was stationary, I was parked and getting ready to pull away from the curb.

I have contacted corporate Honda and my local dealership trying to get information pertaining to a rear wheel bearing recall. Corporate Honda's records show the recall was completed back in October of 2008 but do not have records of any parts that were replaced. All of the symptoms I am experiencing are exactly what is outlined in the recall but I am being led in circles trying to get this resolved. It is frightening to drive and due to financial constraints I can not risk the inspection fee that I am being told I will have to pay. If no parts are on record for being replaced then this should be taken care of without question. Corporate Honda nor my local dealership has shown any concern for my situation while appearing to dismiss my concerns.

There was a recall on the engine. They stopped it at 10 yes and mine had failed at 11 yrs. It was a known manufacturers defect. Yet will do nothing after 10 yrs. This is wrong!. . It is the engine the main component that runs the car. There should be no limit put on the length of this recall when they know they are at fault for such a defect. You can't run a car without an engine. . People keep there cars longer these days . I believe they should cover this indefinitely! . I got no help at all from the dealer and had to replace engine and radiator because it also ruined that.

The bolt in my motor keeps breaking off causing my engine to shut off while driving.

Evap code - emissions.

The car was sold as stolen and salvaged title. . It was in 2 accidents prior to sale. It is unable to be insured and has been repoed. Lookout for it to be resold!!!.

Recall Honda won't honor warranty 10-048 only because on my tittle it states that the millege is not actual. Which was a mistake by the dmv. Not actual mileage my engine is seized due to the car over heating.

The sun visor is falling apart because the metal spring inside has broken the plastic within the visor. The visor will not stay up and it is distracting to the driver. I could feel a difference in the motion of the visor over the past couple of weeks and it finally broke yesterday. This is the passenger visor (the driver's visor was replaced a couple of years ago for the same problem) and is primarily used to hold a sun shade in place when it is parked. Everything within my car is treated very gently so that my ten year-old car looks almost brand new.

I received a letter in July 2016 (official date may 23, 2016) detailing an important safety recall on my 2006 Honda Civic. The problem is that "the propellant wafers in some of the subject inflators may degrade over time, which could lead to over-aggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated. " the letter goes on to explain that this could cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag cushion and harm the vehicle occupant. The only option given in the letter is to avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed. According to the letter, the parts were supposed to be available by now. I am concerned for my safety and other people's safety as they ride in my car. ** much time has passed, and I expect immediate repair free of charge. ***.

Visors broken, recalled. Causing facial injuy, close accidents.

While exiting the parking lot, I adjusted the sun visor and it broke, hitting me on the forehead while obscuring my view. I had received a notice of a class action lawsuit concerning this issue. I called my dealership and they said there wasn't a recall on this part but, yes, there was a class action lawsuit that expired in 2013. She then advised me to call Honda directly. Honda's response was that "we satisfied the court order"and that my visor would not have been replaced back in 2013 as it was not broken. After researching this on the internet, I see that this tends to be a recurring issue, even after the visors are replaced. I was fortunate that this did not happen while I was traveling on the highway and a higher rate of speed.

Pulling in to park vehicle, car suddenly accelerated and car wouldn't stop. Car went over embankment and through a fence before coming to a stop. Insurance company just totaled the car. Unknown whether accelerator and brakes were failing. Car was in good mechanical condition prior to accident and was serviced in last 90 days. Suspect accelerator malfunction sending vehicle into out-of-control situation. Car had no known recall issues.

A female ran a red light speeding at 55 mph in a 30 mph zone ripping off my entire bumper putting a dent on the top of my hood on the driver side and my airbag never came out! before I seen on the news about the recalls, my airbag warning signals always come on and stay on for long periods of time before they go off and this had happen several times!.

There is a malfunction in the air bag sensor that the dealership told me could cause the airbags to deploy at anytime or even not go off during an accident. But apparently the repair is not covered.

Hole in the condenser caused by small pebble puncturing it. There is little protection in the grill of the car which easily allows such road debris to damage the condenser. This is a flaw in the design on the car that should be fixed or at least put under warranty.

Bolt that connected tensioner, to belt sheared off. Causing vehicle to malfunction. Car became not drivable. Might have caused injury at high speed, or loss of control. A common problem with the 2006 Honda Civic, according to internet complaints! design problem? one of the most prevalent problems reported.

Damaged and faulty engine mounts cause excessive rattling to motor/car. Appears this is a very common issues which can lead to further issues.

Having same issue it seems is widely common from my research where the right motor mount fails and needs to be replaced due to excessive knocking of the motor. We've noticed it for a while now, but it's just getting worse and worse at low idle to low speed, but once rpm is over 1k it is fine and straightens out.

Trunk latch suddenly failed. There is no keyhole on the exterior trunk, and the fob and interior switch can't open it. The seat releases are also in the trunk, so there is no way to fix the problem without going to the dealer, and they want to charge for the repair even though there are multiple pages of complaints on the web about the problem that date back to 2008. I can't get to my spare tire or any of my other emergency equipment.

Clear coat and paint on roof is turning white and coming off.

I had a car accident on the huntingdon side of pine groves mountain on PA 26 south. I drove a Honda Civic 06 lx. When I was going down the mountain, I applied the brake normally to slow down before a curve when the speed was at 60 mph, but my car was drifting, not like hydroplaning at all. There was no water to cause that but it rained five to six hours before the accident. During the whole course of incident, the steering wheel was not responsive. When it started to drift, it skidded towards the incoming lane. I tried to correct the steering wheel slightly, it took much more force to operate the steering wheel and the direction was not corrected, so I adjusted it more. Then the head suddenly turned 60 to 80 degrees and hit the guardrail and then the car turned more than 180 degrees clockwise; then the tail hit a stop-sign pole and the car stopped in the mud. Since the car was still drivable, I did not call the police to check the scene. I think it was caused by Honda's design defects since I had goodyear four-season tires with more than enough grids, so I want to hire an investigator to investigate my case and ask Honda to buy the car back. But none of the law firms I contacted could help me. During the whole course, there was no car coming in both directions. Two cars passed me by when I was pulling my car out of mud but none of them stopped, so I guess there was no witness. The first time when I applied the brake again after the incident, I felt the brake was flimsy, so I drove much slower later, at around 40 mph. I am not sure if the brake could handle that wet road again, but most of time at most places the brake does not fail, so I assume I experienced a case, on wet road with downhill gravity, that the car is incapable of handling.

The sun visor on my 2006 Honda Civic si trim fell off while parked. It has nearly fallen off while driving. It is totally nonadjustable while driving because it will fall off. Honda did not inform me about a class action settlement involving an extension of warrant to 100k/7 years. My mileage is now outside of their extended warranty period. This is a continuing issue with all Honda Civics in this generation and Honda has refused to redesign the part to prevent future failures.

The paint is disappearing from the roof and the sides of my back windows. Honda will do nothing since their paint recall is over. I received other recalls in the mail. Never a paint one. I am not sure exactly when the paint problem began. Probably around 2012-2014.
