general problems of the 2007 Honda Civic

Transmission issue reported and the mechanic was surprised bc the car was running very well and I maintain it all the times. Engine light was on as well as the d was blinking green at the time. Very safety concerns when the car does have this issues, the car can’t shift to next speed this could lead to a crash anywhere. Of course people start to get upset due to the car doesn’t run as expected on the road. Mechanic changed the 3rd clutch for the transmission but after one week I h am having the same issue again. Transmission issues are very expensive and needs a very experienced mechanic to take care of it. The issue was confirmed by mechanic and certified mechanic place. I had to tow my car and costed my a lot of money. I will attach the communication with the insurance company.

Engine block cracked. Coolant all leaked out of water jacket. (concurrent with TSB 10-048) yes it is available for inspection. Car over heated, while traveling at speed. Manufacturer is denying inspection. No warning lamps, or lights.

My Civic was diagnosed with a cracked engine block, an issue known by Honda to be problematic, as they issued an extended warranty on the engines that ended in 2018. . Read more...

While driving my 2007 Honda Civic hybrid at approximately 5 mph, entering a left hand turn from a complete stop, the passenger side driveshaft broke (I. E. , the so-called "cv axle" on my front wheel drive vehicle), and a piece of the driveshaft approximately 8 inches long fell into the roadway with a loud audible clunk. We pulled off to the side of the road and were immediately able to retrieve the broken piece. I still have the broken piece in my possession, and I could mail it to an investigator if desired. Photos of the broken axle piece are also attached, together with a dealer repair invoice which lists the Honda part numbers for the replacement parts (due to an availability issue, the dealer used non-oem parts to perform the repair, whose part numbers may or may not match the original oem part numbers). It's clear from inspection that the broken driveshaft was initially covered by an anti-rust coating (portions of the coating are still visibly adhered), however most of this coating wore away and the underlying metal was substantially corroded by salt, which ultimately caused the part to fail. This vehicle has been registered in the state of massachusetts (a so-called "salt-belt" state) for at least as long as I have owned it (since 2010) and possibly before that as well. The failure mode of the driveshaft (I. E. , salt corrosion and breakage due to a failed anti-rust coating) precisely matches the failure mode described in an existing NHTSA recall notice: 20v-770, which covers this same part. This existing recall notice already applies to several other Honda vehicles in "salt-belt" states, however it does not yet extend to my specific model and year. Given the close similarities between the failure in my vehicle, and the existing recall notice, I would like to ask the NHTSA to further extend recall 20v-770 to incorporate my vehicle as well.

On January 2nd, 2018 , was driving on a city street to a local aaa approved auto repair care center when the engine of my Honda Civic became overheated causing fumes/smoke. This could have caused a fire and would thus be a safety hazard. The purpose of taking it to the repair shop was initially just to get a vehicle inspection test/report done for vehicle registration. Due to the engine overheating, further tests were done, and replacing the water pump and performing vps coolant system flush was recommended. I had my vehicle towed to my regular mechanic who inspected it thoroughly and discovered a crack in the engine block. Online I stumbled across several web sites indicating problems associated with engine blocks with some Honda Civics. I called America Honda who said I needed to take my vehicle to a Honda garage to confirm the crack in the engine block. This I did and it was reinspected and confirmed by the Honda mechanics that there was indeed a crack in the engine block. My vehicle has been sitting at the Honda garage for over three months now while America Honda decided how much they can help with replacing the engine. They will replace my engine after my deductible of $2500. I have reluctantly accepted this as it's been a long wait and I need my car back on the road. I understand from american Honda that their extended warranty for cracked engine block was 10 years from first purchase and only the first owner would have received information on this warranty. However, I believe that a crack in the engine block that leads to an overheated engine potentially causing a fire hazard should be covered under a recall. American Honda needs to be held accountable for this defective engine. They gave me a faulty engine that could cause a fire due to overheating and should replace it entirely at their cost. I am thus making a complaint against american Honda.

Cracked engine block, just shy of extended warranty. Car only has 113k miles. Driving home and smelled coolant, popped hood and saw that the front of the block was seeping coolant, no hoses are nearby to cause leak.

"takata recall". The dashboard warning light has been on consistently since 2017 indicating that the passenger airbag is not functioning. The automatic transmission is not functioning properly. When going downhill, the rpm will increase significantly without using the acceleration pedal. Both sun visors are broken. . . Each side came apart from the opposite side. The cd player quit working in 2016. The air conditioner quit working in 2016.

I have a rear wheel bearing failing. I have learned of a Honda service bulletin (07-055). The Honda dealership states that the work has been accomplished. The last step in the inspection/repair procedure (step 13) instructs center-punch a completion mark below the seventh character of the engine compartment VIN: *slide open the frame number door on the center cowl cover. A long punch to reach the VIN. (see service bulletin for example) there is no punch mark on my vehicle. If this portion of the process was not completed, how am I to be ensured that the procedure was performed completely?.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. While attempting to shift gears, the shift lever would not shift out of the park position due to a faulty brake light switch. In addition, the rear brake lights failed to illuminate. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 07v402000 (exterior lighting). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

When I am driving my car and it goes into a shift gear it tugs back and forth than it kicks in, in only does it at certain speed than it stops. I want to know if there any recalls on the transmission and if any repairs are being done or have been done. I am afraid that it will just break apart in the middle of the expressway and cause some pileup and my life or others may be in danger.

The car goes out of third gear out of nowhere. I have had three close calls on the freeway due to the fact that as your accelerating the gear stops working and leaves the car in neutral when you should be going forward. This causes the car behind you to brake suddenly or you to loose focus of what's in front of you since you tend to look down to see what the problem is and do not expect you car to be out of gear.

I have a question about the 2007 Honda Civic, I purchased the car on October 31st, 2011 and I noticed that the front end was making a noise and a vibration when I decelerate. Took the car to the dealership and they put new tires onto the vehicle and the problem still existed. Over a little time until today, the noise and vibration is still there and wont go away. I dont know if its coming from the engine or the drivetrain. I think its something serious but I cant really tell not being a certified mechanic. Is there a recall on something related to the drivetrain/front end or engine problem?.

Engine over heated and froze up due to losing coolant through engine block crack. Crack caused from defective engine blocks as admitted by Honda corp. Total loss of power on highway in heavy traffic created a safety hazard to the young teenaged driver. Car was bought used on a salvage title and driven a year without incident until this failure occurred. Honda will not replace engine still on warranty due to salvage title.

My clutch went out on a 2007 Honda Civic si sedan. There was a TSB on the vehicle and I had called my local service department about it previously with them telling me not to worry about the problem. I live in a cold climate and was in traffic when the clutch went out so it was dangerous in numerous ways. The clutch is defective per the TSB and is a hazard to people when they drive and the clutch might go out. The clutch issue has been on the news and in the paper but no dealership is telling people and no letters have been sent to people to let them know!.

Ignition key may be removed when vehicle is not shifted into "park. " unless the parking brake is engaged, this can cause the vehicle to roll from an apparently parked position, creating a risk of damage to property and personal injury.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. While backing out of a parking space, the gear shifter moved from park into neutral. This failure occurred automatically and without assistance. The rpm's raced to an excessively high rate. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure occurred on three separate occasions and the vehicle was taken to the dealer each time. The failure still persists and the vehicle has not been successfully repaired. The contact was concerned of the safety risk involved. The failure mileage was 10,900 and current mileage was 12,000.

3rd gear pops out for no reason. Honda will not fix my problem as it is no longer under warranty. I reported the problem when was still under warranty but they could not replictae the problem. Now they claim is too late for them to fix it. I did not find out about the service bulleting until recently. After being a loyal customer with more than 2 Honda vehicles I will never buy a Honda again especially when the us manufacturers are now making reliable and gas efficient cars.

Honda Civic hybrid, car was working fine at purchase, once this problem occurred it has been occurring frequently ever since. The malfunction mostly occurs after the car has been parked is the hot sun, once engine is started within 3-10 minutes engine will run rough, the ima system (integrated motor assist) will start charging the ima battery (158 volt nickel metal hydride battery) then suddenly empty the complete charge of the ima battery within 10 seconds. While the ima system is malfunctioning which is usually 5-20 minutes the braking is severely affected; when letting off the accelerator the car does not want to slow down, it feels like the cruise control is on and braking force is greatly reduced. Also, while the ima system is malfunctioning, the ima assist electric motor stops working and the acceleration is severely reduced to the point that it is difficult to accelerate with the traffic, if you had to accelerate in a hurry to avoid an accident, it would not be possible while malfunctioning. This problem occurs several times per week during the warmer months, sometimes several times per day. Also, since this malfunction has started the gas mileage has severely dropped. Car has been in for service several times and I have been told by Honda that they cannot find anything wrong with the car. It is my understanding that many Civic hybrids are experiencing this problem and Honda is not currently addressing this. This malfunction makes this car an unsafe hazard to drive.
