1 Structure problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2013

Opened our trunk recently and water poured into the trunk from the trunk door when we lifted it. Keeps happening every time after a rainy day (which is alot in florida). Now our trunk is smelly, moldy and damp. We cannot put our groceries, purse, suitcases, etc into the trunk or else they will get wet. It smells so bad in the cabin area that it is difficult to breathe and you have to drive with the windows down which is difficult with my allergies. The things we kept in the trunk like the jack are now rusted and the bag where I kept my jumper cables is moldy. Difficult to use the car now since we cannot put anything into it safely and cannot breathe in the cabin area.

Failure Date: 08/12/2009

I pulled down the sun visor on the passenger side and a few seconds later my husband pulled down his drivers side)visor in our 2007 Honda Civic lx and they both cracked and wouldn't go back up. This obstructed our view and made it difficult for him to see the road while driving and posing a safety hazard.

Car: Honda 2007 Civic si complaint: car has been driven normally. Excessive inner tire wear on rear wheels eats tires to the threads. Tire must be inspected closely since most of it will appear with plenty of tread. This is a safety issue and Honda has already issued a service bulletin on many 2006/2007 Civic (but this excludes the si). The problem is identical on the si but Honda will not cover it as a defect. Honda refuses to acknowledge that this is an issue with the 2007 Civic si.

7 Structure problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2008

I leased a 07 Honda Civic; I am having my vehicle repaired due to water damage. This is the third time I have to have this vehicle repaired due to a water leak into the cabin of the vehicle. The first 2 occurrences were covered by mfg warranty. The third occurrence is being attributed to high standing water and is not covered. The first occurrence of this issue was in 08/07, 5 months after I leased the vehicle. No leaks were found at that time, the carpeting and padding was replaced under mfg warranty. The second occurrence was in 07/08 the initial assessment was the vehicle was in high standing water. Additional tests were run and leaks were found and repaired. The carpeting and the padding were replaced under mfg warranty. The third occurrence was in 9/08. The same reason was used that the vehicle was in high standing water. This occurrence will not be covered by mfg warranty. I am working with my insurance company to have the vehicle repaired. My complaint is it has been established that this vehicle has historical issues with water leaking. The dealership identified and repaired some of the issues. The third time it has happened and now it will not be covered. I am on my own and Honda is taking no responsibility for this issue. I will now have to pay my deductible and my insurance rates will increase as a result of this claim. I am not sure what I am to do the next time it rains hard and the floorboard of my vehicle is soaked again.

9 Structure problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2008

My paint cracked on my hood, roof and fenders. I did have bird poop eat through the paint on the passenger door. I knew Honda wouldn't cover the bird poop but I wanted to ask about the cracks. Honda service said that my warranty did not cover the cracks from who knows what so I had to file an insurance claim. I had to have all those places on my car painted. I have since researched and found many other people complaining about the paint and having the same issues as me. I believe Honda's paint is defective and should be investigated. I have never had a car's paint be so soft and of poor quality. I paid a lot of money for my car and believe if the paint doesn't hold up then rust will ensue and that is a safety issue. I want this problem addressed. The guy at the body shop said that he had to repaint 4 Honda vans that have the blue paint because the paint was defective. I believe the silver paint is defective and would like someone to investigate this issue. People are buying these cars and believe they are going to last a long time and they are not. My 1992 Honda accord's paint held up so why isn't my 2007 Civic doing the same? thanks for your time.
