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.

The cars safety belts have had trouble retracting for about 5 years. I was unaware of being able to report safety issues, or would have much sooner. Most recently the low beams went out. The srs light is also on. The cars horn is wired into the srs system. So you loose two major safety features at once. Very bad design. The drivers seat had been loose for years. The skid plate/floorboard cracked and allowed the bolts or hardware to corrode. I ran the VIN and was surprised no recalls are available, as the problems my family is experiencing have been recalled on similar Honda's.

Had the 3rd gear transmission problem fixed at 45,000 miles and since then it has always driven different. Kept going back to the dealership and told me there was nothing wrong with it. Now at 87,000 it got taken in to get the front fenders and hood re-painted because of the faulty manufacturer paint. The car started clicking before I took it in and when pressing the clutch noise would go away. They did an estimate for my throwout bearing and the next day they called me saying the vehicle would move at all, that I need it a new transmission. Now the dealership expects me to pay them $4,000 in total for labor and to put a new trans in the car. I have always had problems with this dealership and had a few complaints towards Honda. I also had the motor top gasket replaced because it was leaking oil and got covered under warranty since it was part of a recall.

The interior passenger side is leaking rain water from the roof or side air bag area.

I noticed that 2 days ago it was raining inside my car I bought the car brand new off of the lot in 2008. The areas that are leaking/collecting water are where the side front airbag is located, along with the windshield, and side of the door. Called the dealer they are telling me that my warranty has expired therefore I will need to replace the windshield and other components (roof, airbags,etc. ) the car has never been in an accident or anything and now I am almost scared to drive it since they are telling me that it is the windshield I am petrified that it will implode soon. This seems extremely dangerous now I am unsure that if I get in an accident because of the water what if my airbag won't work upon impact? what happens if the windshield implodes while I am driving this issue is an accident waiting to happen.

I was driving 50mph when my air bags deployed for no reason. The explosion was horrendous. I put on my brakes which put my car in a sideways slide almost sending it over the cliff into the river. It was a horrifying experience. The windshield broke and my dash split. There was no impact at all. The air bag broke my new prescription glasses, bruised my face, and cut my lip. My son whom was with me is complaining of pain in his stomach where the air bag hit him. I see many other complains concerning faulty air bags but read Honda is not taking responsibility. These faulty bags are a life threatening issue and Honda should recall and fix this problem now.

I am just documenting that this vehicle has a real glare problem due to size and slant of windshield. The entire image of the dash appears on the windshield and the glare is very distracting while driving. I'm sure Honda has tried to deal with this issue due to the matte finish on the dash,but it isn't working. I feel like I've made one of the biggest mistakes in buying this vehicle. I hope I don't run someone over, lost in the glare.

2012 Honda Civic. Consumer states vehicle stalled when pulling away from a stop. The consumer stated the motor would still run, but there would be no acceleration; just a significant pause. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer and they stated there was nothing wrong and the pause was caused by a safety feature, triggered by the consumers driving style; two feet and the inadvertent pressure on the brake pedal while accelerating from a stop. The dealer stated any pressure, even the slightest, would cause the vehicle to pause.

The head rest of our 2004 Honda Civic lx has the metal frame exposed through the foam. The metal frame is exposed in both head rests of front seats. We are in the process of checking to see if a recall has been made. The concern is if a wreck occurs, the metal frame would cause severe head trauma or even death.

2002 Honda Civic ex 4 door the indoor door handles are peeling very sharp metal that cuts your hand when you try to open the door. I have cut my hand several times. Once almost needing stitches. Honda informed me that there were recalls for other models for this problem, but not this year/make/model. This is surely a safety defect, though not life threatening.

Honda Civic 2007 visor pops open and does not grab. Visor floats down into field of vision. Honda not issuing recall they don't believe it is a safety issue. Maybe a lawyer will convince them.

On 2/26/10, I had 4 new tires installed in my 2005 Civic; at 56,000 miles. Even purchased the warranty. About two weeks later, I felt a very mild vibration between 48-52 mph. I didn't make such a big deal of it then. The past 6 weeks or so, about 60,000 miles, the Civic's vibrating has gotten worse between 48-52mph. I took it for it's maintenance, had everything done, especially the break rotors and alignment. The vibrating has not stopped. I brought it back to the dealership. According to them, the car was checked, and felt the vibrating. Car was re-aligned, the said it was the rear struts. I had them replaced with a different auto mechanic, then had it re-aligned once more to another auto mechanic. Still vibrates. Brought it back to the mechanic who installed the rear struts. He did a test drive, and balanced the tires. The vibrating is still there. Now it's between 48-60mph at random. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it's mild, sometimes it stronger, depending after my apply the brakes. The vibrating occurs under the seats, floor, rear, some is felt very mildly on the dashboard. Could be since the rest of the car is vibrating. I'm very frustrated.

Rodents eat wires, fuel, brake lines. It seems the car companies have started using a newer material to replace the common plastic used in wire insulation and tubing with a soy based product. This newer product has attracted squirrels and other rodents which eat this material. This is not only a safety issue it's also a hazard as there is no way to prevent this. Any number of things can happen to cause a major accident due to this very bad choice of material used. One only has to search google to see how wide spread this problem is. I typed in "squirrel ate my Honda wires" and came up with pages and page of complaints. The first one in the results given is a person that had two new Honda cars and both were disabled due to this.

2007 Honda Civic paint is defected. Crowsfeet allover the hood and fenders. Honda will not cover 100 percent.

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.

Air conditioner blows only hot air after driving on the freeway. Took the vehicle to dealer for inspection. Culprit was found to be a leaking suction line, probably punctured by road debris during drive. The location of the suction line is in front of the radiator, which is not protected by a mesh grill. Due to its location, suction line is easily damageable. Honda should provide free replacement because this is fundamental design fault. The dealer fixed this issue by replacing the fragile copper suction line with a heavy duty rubber tube and redirected it behind the bumper instead of in front of the radiator.

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.

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.

The hush panel under the instrument panel has started to droop, causing it to come in contact with the top of my shoe when I move my foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal. The hush panel was not designed with enough retaining clips to avoid this interference.

Water leakage in passenger cabin in the front, left passenger side footwell area. When I bought the car 4 years ago, it was hard to confirm that there was a leak as it could have been melted snow/ice trudged in from outside (winter) or water transferred in by shoes (summer). When it rained there was always a damp area on the carpet, but only recently when we were experiencing heavy rainfalls which confirmed there was a leak. The local dealer has traced the leak to the area of the left fender/firewall area where the seams have come apart. I have brought the car in to the dealers bodyshop to address the problem. They said that they have corrected the problem; however it remains to be confirmed. Mileage: 7,937 miles.

The visor on my 2006 Honda Civic cracked and has been hanging in my face blocking my vision since last summer. It if very unsafe for people to drive around with these visors hanging in their faces. They will not go back up once cracked. You cant even see the traffic light in front of you without leaning all the way over. Today it finally fell all the way off. I have found hundreds of these complaints and still no recall from Honda.

The overhead visors on both the driver and passenger side will not go back up to the original resting position. When they are pulled down, a gap forms between the hard plastic portion and the center portion. Normally, when they are put in the normal resting position the gap closes and creates a popping sound. Currently, the gap won't close anymore. I had this problem before with the visor on the passenger's side and a Honda retailer car shop replaced the visor. This problem seems to occur more in the summer months.
