Frame And Members Problems of Honda Civic

2006 Honda Civic does not have rear tire adjustment camber (?)package that allows rear tires to be aligned properly, which results in tires being wore out prematurely and an increase in blowouts/flat tires.

Shortly after the vehicle warranty expired, we began to notice a loud humming sound coming from the rear wheels which steadily got worse. Also, we experienced extreme lack of control over the car during icy conditions. We discovered that the humming sound was coming from rear tires that were severely cupped. It was necessary to purchase new back tires, get the front and back aligned, and purchase and have installed, a stabilizer bar. We understand that this is a common defect in this model and year of car.

According to searches done via the internet and with issues with my 2006 Honda Civic ex sedan model I have noticed a staggering amount of complaints to the 2006 and newer model Civics with vibrations issues and constant replacement of tires for the rear of the vehicle. I have had to replace my tires about 5 times since I have had my car and it has always been the rear tires on my vehicle and 2 times in the past 6 months due to un-even tire wear on the inside of the tires caused by the rear chamber arm. Currently there is no recall for this issue but have noticed quite a number pf people throughout the us with this problem on the vehicle. The outcome of this issue could cause a tire to blow out while driving on the highway and potentially causing great harm to the passengers of the affected vehicle as well as other drivers on the road. If you need to the web links with all the other complaints for this issue feel free to contact me .

My husband and I took over the car from his aunt in 10/2005, at 56,020 miles. The car has been well taken care with periodic oil changes and some maintenance. On 12/22/2008, when it was of 82,409 miles, the check engine light was on. This time we did pay some amount for other services but due to financial hardship could not pay for the torque converter replacement, as advised at kolbe Honda at reseda. After the service performance, the check engine light was off. However, on 6/15/2009, we had no choice but to replace the car's transmission and torque converter for $690. 69 (on the 70/30 split).

We were driving on 2 lane highway at 55 mph. No warning of a pending problem. Half of the front bumper came loose from the frame and fell down and struck the pavement, then began bouncing up and down, tearing things up. Loud noise like piece of tire flapping in wheel well. We stopped and investigated the damage. Could not drive over 35 mph to the next town, some 20 miles away. Reached town and bought and used duct tape to hold the fender up off the ground so we could drive home. We then took the car to a local Honda dealer. We were told the underneath plastic clips and other components were damaged and that the car must have been run into a curb or something like that. I investigated further, as I knew that the car had never hit a curb. It has, however, made scraping noises when passing over a typical parking lot wheel stop. In my judgment, the damage was cause by the fact that the front of the vehicle does not clear wheel stops, and hitting wheel stops has severely damaged the plastic components under the front end, resulting in the bumper falling off at highway speed. Had both sides of the bumper come loose, I would have run over the bumper, probably losing control of the vehicle and becoming involved in a wreck. Looking under the vehicle, you can see that both sides have been damaged by scraping over parking lot wheel stops. We were lucky to have survived. I consider this a serious safety hazard because: 1) we could have been killed; 2) parking with your wheels against a wheel stop in a parking lot is a normal practice and is not something one would normally worry about. Repairs exceeded $485 at a private collision repair center and would have cost approximately $800 at the dealer. Repairs: replaced clips, some plastic components under front end, and repainted bumper. The dealer refused any warranty coverage.

: the contact stated while driving 30 mph on dry flat road conditions, a clanking sound was heard coming from under the vehicle's front end. Prior to the incident, there were no warnings. The vehicle was driven to the contacts residence, where an independent mechanic inspected and determined the motor mounts had fractured. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The contact planned to notify the manufacturer.

While driving on the freeway at approximately 50 mph, I noticed a medium sized puddle ahead - in my exit lane. I slowed down to approximately 30 mph, but had no choice other than to go through the puddle. Upon doing so, the front portion of the plastic cover that goes across the bottom underside of the car became unhooked and began dragging on the ground. I took the car to the nearest dealer. They placed the car up on the rack and showed me the underside of the car - the plastic piece had cracked and broken away from the clips that hold it into place. The dealer refused to issue a warranty repair on this part, stating that it was due to my negligence. When I asked them what I had done that was negligent they pointed me to the scrapes and scratches on the plastic and said that I had obviously driven over things (curbs/speed bumps/etc) that were too tall for my vehicle to clear. This is not the case - it seems to me more like a case of cheap plastic not being able to withstand driving through a puddle! when I explained to them that the scratches came from driving from the puddle to the dealership, they had no reply other than to tell me that I could order a part and pay for service/labor. I declined, and currently have the bottom rigged on with industrial zip ties, as I pay enough for the car to begin with.

The rear sub-frame on my 2000 Honda Civic si has ripped on both sides. This is not just a problem I am having. I know of several other people having this very same problem. I do not race the car and all of the driving is done on road. Aside from an aftermarket clutch the vehicle is stock, no suspension work at all. The car comes with a 13mm rear sway bar as stock equipment. When I began hearing about people having problems with the sub frame ripping I purchased reinforcement plates and installed them in an effort to reduce the stress placed on the sub-frame. This is a major problem! this is structural failure! as soon as I noticed the problem I took the car to a frame shop and had it repaired at a cost of $500. The technican who fixed the vehicle told me he hoped this wouldn't happen again but without a stronger sub frame he saw no reason that this wouldn't happen again. This obviously presents a serious safety issue.

When raining water could leak inside of vehicle through driver's side and will make carpet wet, and could be causing consumer not to control pedals or electrical problems.

Paint is developing crows feet in four seperate places. Dealership sent me to a contracted body shop for evaluation to determine whether it should be covered by warranty. Body shop said that it was due to bird droppings or sap. Had environmental protection package applied at time of purchase. I wash this car on a weekly basis and hose off bird droppings as they are noticed. These places are also on the side of vehicle (not a flat surface). I find this impossible and believe it to be a defect in paint. Blemishes and loss of gloss continue to develop in the paint. Landmark Honda did offer a fix to this problem and it is unacceptible. Warranty information about environmental protection package should have been mailed to me immediately after application. It wasn't. Dealer explained a couple of weeks ago that they purchase an insurance policy on the paint with the application and that this was never done. They turned around and purchased this insurance after the fact, mailed me the warranty info with 800 number, and asked me to wait two weeks before contacting them so that it wouldn't be suspect. I believe this to be insurance fraud and as much as I do want the car fixed, I don't want to break laws in doing so. No safety defect mentioned.
