Noises During Shifting problems of the 2007 Honda Civic

Problem: unable to shift from park into drive - Civic hybrid 2007 research shows problem was known and posted in September 2007 purchased car new in January 2008 w defect and was not informed. This defect was modified and posted again as a known issue on 3/18/08 brought car in for service (oil change) in April 2007. No mention of recall and since car was purchased after known problem, it did not occur that the car would be sold w/o issue being fixed. June 8, 2008 - car locks in park several times. Break light comes on. I check manual that says to not drive/have car towed. I drive directly to the safest location to park and call for a tow truck. I have missed a scheduled seminar/day of work. I should have been informed of this recall during purchase and service. Since this was a known issue, why was this not fixed prior to sale? why was I not notified? why was this not caught at my service? the car was towed to the dealership on 6/8/08 - was called on 6/9/08 and told about the recall and that the car was fixed. I asked them to check the brakes again as they seem to have air and make noise. I was told this was not part of the recall. I said I was not even informed of a recall and that I have issues w the brakes and I want them checked even though they fixed the recall problem. It was a lot of back and forth and the car is currently with the dealer and I have spoken to the manager who acknowledged that the issue should of been fixed at the very least, during the maintenance check. He is having the maintenance department check the brakes a second time.

Transmission for 2007 Honda Civic si seem to not want to engage 3rd gear especially when cold. Multiple occasions. Seem to have something blocking the shifter and it will grind the gear or pop out. Popping noise from front driver side suspension also have been experience on the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The vehicle was purchased in November 2007. A few months later, he was unable to shift into third gear without it making a loud noise. The failure was progressive at times and intermittently he was unsuccessful at shifting into third gear. The contact stated that if the rotor failed it could cause a crash. A complaint was filed with the manufacturer after three attempts to notify them of the failure. The manufacturer stated that they havent received complaints related to the failure and it is not a safety concern. The dealer stated that there is a technical service bulletin related to the failure. The failure mileage was 14,000 and the current mileage was 14,800.

Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission. I patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution. Honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably caused by my driving, the problem with the vehicle going into third gear is a known problem and there is a technical service bulletin that Honda corporate has released for the exact problem. The headliner rattles, door gasket seal has been coming off since purchase, suspension popping noise in the front passenger side strut since purchase and the sound has become more frequent, the driver side visor was defective and was replaced, the driver door hits the fender when opening just started happening since Honda worked on my vehicle. I have been taking my vehicle to two different dealerships (recommended by Honda corporate) and nothing has been properly repaired. I feel as though I have been given the run around for the past year. Honda has made several attempts to repair the problems and has not been able to, they have only damaged my vehicle during their attempts to repair it. They have damaged the front bumper three times, the side of the vehicle once, the door and fender once. They of course denied any involvement in the damage, then repair it under warranty.
