Pain on my Honda Civic 2009 is peeling very badly. I read that it was manufacture defect and I would like to have it fixed. It started about two years ago.
Got hit in the side from making a u turn, moderate speed. Concern is that my son, who was driving, reported that the airbags deployed but did not inflate. He bumped his head (no personal injury reported), which is how he knows the bags never inflated.
Tl the contact owns a 2009 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the exterior rubber and clips on the front windshield were deteriorating and exposed. The vehicle was taken to Honda of pasadena (1965 e foothill blvd, pasadena, CA 91107, (626) 773-8774), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 65,000.
While driving at highway speed (~65-70mph), the molding/seal on the passenger side of the windshield came loose, and before I could get to a safe place to pull over, it broke free. While it was attached, it was banging into the roof of the car and against the rear passenger-side window. It was hitting the window with enough force that I feared it would crack the glass. Additionally, that it broke free and fell off created a safety hazard for other vehicles near me. In the attached photo, it shows the space where the seal came loose between the edge of the glass, and the frame at the top.
Peeling paint.
Slow speed impact (25 mph city street )with stationary object: front bumped destroyed get no air bags deployed.
Sun visor broke during driving on the freeway and would not stay up. Blocking visually. Honda was involved in a class action suit that involved the same year but just slightly out of VIN number area.
The clear coat has been flaking off of the roof of my car for approx 1 year. I have contacted Honda several times to get this resolved but I have been in successful. At first they said it was normal wear and tear. Now my car is no longer eligible for the manufacturer repair of the clear coat.
My Honda Civic was hit on the drivers side door by a Ford ranger pickup truck. I was driving northbound on a city street in san luis obispo, CA and the truck was heading southbound and attempted to make a left hand turn across the lane that I was occupying when I was hit. The driver airbag in the truck deployed, but the side curtain airbag in my Civic did not deploy. I was injured by broken glass and impact of my left arm & shoulder against the driver door. The impact for was sufficient to bend both the a-pillar and b-pillar into the passenger compartment. I believe that the side curtain airbag in my Civic was defective. Note that a local Honda dealership offered to run a diagnostic test, but since the vehicle is drivable, and was towed to a car storage yard after the accident, the dealer was unable to inspect the vehicle.
Interior center led brake light failed, right side engine mount failed, atomic blue paint on roof and edges of rear fenders around trunk faded and chalky.
Clear coat on paint failed after 3 years. Sun visors failed after 4 years and 35k miles. Motor mounts failed at 5 years and 42k miles.
Splash guard is disintergrating. Also paint (top coat) on roof and top of trunk is badly deteriorated. These defects noted over time.
The clear coat is peeling off the car. Honda had admitted a problem however I was never notified of a recap/extended warranty. Problem started out small but has become a major problem. Should be covered after warranty period.
Insane amount of clear coat peeling is happening this year. Roof has soccer ball size of clear coat damage. Hood has spider web all over the place.
The clear coat is deteriorating on the roof, hood, and trunk.
Dark gray color fading very badly on the roof over front and back windows even though car was not washed frequently and has been parked in a garage.
The driver-side door handle on my 2009 Honda Civic lx broke. I am the original owner, the car has been well-maintained and there is no reason for the door handle to break at such an early stage.
In early August, the driver's door lock broke and you could not enter the door with a key. I had to pay for the charges to get the lock repaired and to match all the locks with the new key. This should not have happened.
My car has a paint defect that Honda refuses to fix. This peeling paint started in 2014, I brought this issue to the attention of the dealership, but was told there was nothing that can be done. I notified Honda and they wanted me to pay over 3k to get the car painted. I have pictures of hundreds of Honda's with the same paint issues. There needs to be an investigation and Honda needs to be held accountable.
The paint on my 2009 Honda Civic lx is cracking around the doors around 40k miles.
The contact owns a 2009 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the driver¿s heel became stuck in a hole that was in the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the vehicle was operating as designed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
I brought a Honda Civic 2009 in 2012,April 12. The Honda was supposed to be sold with a power train warranty to bring car up to date for 36000 miles/3 yr. Honda did not offer an extended warranty for these purposes. They called a year later to see if we would then extend the vehicle to120mi. We had already purchased an additional warranty called assurance pay to paylink approx 112. 00 mo. We were one payment to the last and Honda finally called , we purchased their warranty too. The car should have been automatic from the sale date. Door locks and iignition/cylendar work and other repairs such as break work have been performed on vehicle since. I am reportinf unfair selling practices. Details and repair work will be submitted upon request. Thus vehicle safety issues upon purchase.
I was hit on the passenger side of the car by an SUV. The repairs were with genuine Honda parts but ever since then the front controls where the radio is has been extremely hot. Almost to the point I think I burn my hands to change the radio station. I think it may be hot enough to start a fire with melting the controls in the back. I have been told there is nothing that can be done or it will cost me a lot of money to diagnose it. I just see it as a safety issue to have the dash so hot it burns people. The passenger airbag did not deploy in the crash and possibly should have.
Scratches appeared immediately after purchase, like there was no clear coat at all. Now their are spots with no paint or clear coat all over the car and I'm worried if it starts to rust, I could get a leak in the roof.
I have owned my 2009 Honda Civic since July, 29th 2009, I have noticed multiple times that the body frame between the front windshield and the driverside window completely obstructs my view of things including pedestrians and vehicles, this is when I am directly looking. I feel the blind spot size is beyond dangerous and unacceptable, I have almost hit people numerous times because they are in just the right spot to be blocked of view this includes an entire vehicle!! I feel that every single one of these bodies styles should be recalled before someone is killed. I notice this every single time I make a left hand turn I have to move my head to each side of it to make sure there is no one or no object there.
