2006 Honda Civic Complaint Log

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD INFLATE AND THAT IT COULD SEND OUT DEBRIS THAT COULD SERIOUSLY HARM THE PASSENGER. NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED UNTIL HONDA CAN PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS. IN THE MEANTIME, THE NOTICE SAID, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED IN OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC.

NOTICED CAR TEMP RISING AND GETTING HOTTER, NO INDICATORS OR WARNINGS LIGHTS. LET CAR COOL OFF AND NOTICED THE COOLANT WAS EXTREMELY LOW, CAR HAD ALL FLUIDS TOPPED OFF DURING A RECENT CHECK UP. ADDED COOLANT. ALL SEEMED FINE TILL THE NEXT WEEKEND WHEN CAR STARTED HEAT UP AGAIN, BROUGHT CAR INTO SHOP. FOUND ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AND WAS LEAKING COOLANT. UPON FUTURE INVESTIGATION CRACK IS SAME LOCATION AS REFERENCE TSB NO. 10-048. SINCE THIS HAPPENED 20 DAYS AFTER THE 10 YEAR DATE HONDA IS REFUSING TO REPLACE. WE PURCHASED THE CAR A YEAR AGO FROM A DEALER AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-346: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA INFORMING ME OF A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, THE LETTER STATES THAT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO MAKE A REPAIR LATER IN THE SUMMER I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR, MY YOUNG DAUGHTER SITS IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, WE OFTEN HAVE A SECOND CHILD IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND A LARGE DOG. WE CAN'T POSSIBLY AVOID USING THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE BACK SEAT IS FULL, AND OUR OTHER CAR IS TOO SMALL TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. WHEN I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE PERIOD UNTIL THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, IT WAS DENIED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND HAD TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION AND WAS TOLD A CASE WORKER WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2 WEEKS OR SO. I THINK THIS IS ALL ABSURD. THEY ARE IMPLYING THAT AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT AS HAZARDOUS AS ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND ALSO THAT A REASONABLE SOLUTION IS TO JUST NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE, AND IT HAS LEFT MY FAMILY IN DANGER UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE, WHENEVER THAT WILL BE. NO ESTIMATED TIME LINE HAS BEEN GIVEN.

DESDE JULIO 29 2016 ME COMUNIQUE AL HONDA DE OXNARD PARA LLEVAR MI CARRO A ARREGLAR YA KE YO RECIBI UNA CARTA DICIENDO DE LOS DEFECTOS DE BOLSA DE AIRE DE HONDA TENIA KE LLEVARLO YA A PASADO MAS DE 60 DIAS Y EL CONSESIONARIO HONDA NO ME A LLAMADO PARA ARREGLAR MI CARRO

THE SUN VISOR IS FALLING APART BECAUSE THE METAL SPRING INSIDE HAS BROKEN THE PLASTIC WITHIN THE VISOR. THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER. I COULD FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN THE MOTION OF THE VISOR OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IT FINALLY BROKE YESTERDAY. THIS IS THE PASSENGER VISOR (THE DRIVER'S VISOR WAS REPLACED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM) AND IS PRIMARILY USED TO HOLD A SUN SHADE IN PLACE WHEN IT IS PARKED. EVERYTHING WITHIN MY CAR IS TREATED VERY GENTLY SO THAT MY TEN YEAR-OLD CAR LOOKS ALMOST BRAND NEW.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THE OCS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED AND WHILE WAITING FOR THE PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 10/19/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG WAS SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2016. HOWEVER, THE OCW LIGHT FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. UPDATED 10/24/16.*JB

TAKATA RECALL, PROPELLANT WAFERS DEGRADE OVER TIME. SEE ATTACHED FOR DETAILS. I FIRST RECEIVED THIS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA. THE PHONE REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED HERSON'S HONDA LOCATED IN 15525 FREDERICK RD, ROCKVILLE, MD 20855 AND SET UP A PHONE APPOINTMENT. WHEN I SPOKE TO HERSON'S THE POC TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND DEALERSHIP WILL CONTACT ME ONCE IT ARRIVES. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT IT COULD TAKE MORE THAN 90 DAYS. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON BUT I DO NOT THINK HONDA IS TAKING THIS SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUSLY.

I RECEIVED A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE JULY 23, 2016. UPON RESEARCH, HONDA RECALL WEBSITE STATES NOTICES WILL GO OUT JUNE23? WHY WAS MY NOTICE NOT RECEIVED UNTIL 30 DAYS LATER? ADDITIONALLY- WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE "LATE JULY TO AUGUST". AND THE NOTICE SAYS DO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE? THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! BETWEEN CAR POOL, TAKING KIDS TO SCHOOL, TAKING KIDS TO SPORTS PRACTICES- WHERE ARE THEY ALL SUPPOSED TO SIT? IF YOU CANNOT EXPEDITE REPAIRS, PARTS, OR THE RECALL NOTICE, A FREE RENTAL SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE LIABILITY POSITION YOU HAVE JUST PLACED YOURSELF IN IS ABSOLUTELY TRAUMATIC. I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT TANAKA AIR BAGS FOR OVER A YEAR AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED INJURIES AND DEATHS-- AND WE JUST NOW RECEIVE NOTIFICATION?? AND NOW YOUR TELLING US TO WAIT MORE TIME FOR ANOTHER NOTICE? DO PEOPLE'S LIVES NOT MATTER TO YOU, HONDA, OR TANAKA? I HOPE THIS AND OTHER EMAILS ARE USED IN COURT SO COMPLETE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST EVERYONE INVOLVED. GOD FORBID ANYTHING HAPPEN TO MY KIDS- AND TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE, AND SAVE LIVES- YOU ARE SIMPLY SAYING "HERE IS A LATE NOTICE- OH YA, AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT WE'LL LET YOU KNOW AT A LATER TIME."

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE AIR BAGS AND FELT THAT THE PART AVAILABILITY DATE WAS UNREASONABLE.

THE REAR PASSENGER SUSTAINED CUTS TO THE FOREHEAD, A FRACTURE ON THE FRONT OF HIS SKULL, AND BRUISING IN THE BRAIN AND ABDOMEN THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL TURNING THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE STUMP. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

L/H SUN VISOR ASSY OF OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC MECHANICAL FAILURE. MODE OF FAILURE WAS SPLITTING OF A BONDED JOINT OF THE UPPER AND LOWER PLASTIC PIECES THAT SURROUND & CAPTURE L/H (PRIMARY) ROTATION MECHANISM. INTERNAL MECHANISM IMPARTS SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL STRESS ON THE BONDED JOINT EACH TIME SUN VISOR RE-POSITIONED. UNDAMAGED SEAM GIVES ROTATIONAL RESISTANCE WHEN VISOR IS STOWED OR FULLY FORWARD (SOMEWHAT OUT OF THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VIEW). THIS FATIGUE-INDUCED FAILURE MODE PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. THE VISOR ASSEMBLY FAILS IN THE WORSE POSSIBLE POSITION: HANGING VERTICALLY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER OBSCURING SIGHT THROUGH THE UPPER SECTION OF THE WINDSCREEN. THE DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR IS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. IT CANNOT BE ROTATED AROUND THE PRINCIPAL AXIS INTO ANOTHER POSITION WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY FALLING DIRECTLY BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. THE FAILED SUN VISOR COMPLETELY OBSCURES OVERHEAD TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND SIGNAGE. THIS MODEL YEAR HONDA CIVIC HAS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE MODE. A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT CIRCA 2011 WAS APPLICABLE ONLY TO VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES OR 7 YEARS (REF: "SETTLEMENT WEBSITE FOR COOPER, ET AL. V. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC., ' CASE NO. BC 448670"; URL: HTTP://SETTLEMENT-CLAIMS.COM/VISORSETTLEMENT/). THIS PARTICULAR VISOR FAILURE OCCURRED SOON AFTER A LIMITED 'EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD.' OUR VEHICLE'S ODOMETER READING IS 103,574 MILES. PRIMARY DRIVER NOTICED THE VISOR BECOMING "LOOSE" BUT UNTIL IT FAILED COMPLETELY, IT MAINTAINED COMPLETE FUNCTIONALITY (I.E., WOULD STOW & STAY). AS THE DEFECTIVE BOND IS EFFECTIVELY HIDDEN, THE DRIVER CANNOT EASILY VISUALIZE ANY PROGRESSIVE FAILURE OF THE FATIGUING BOND FAILURE. NEITHER OF DRIVERS RECALLS RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM HONDA WARNING OF THIS POTENTIAL FAILURE OR AVAILABLE REMEDIES.

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL # 16V-346 THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT AGAINST MY HONDA DEALERSHIP. RATHER, IT IS A QUERY OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE DEALERSHIP IS DUE TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR ON JULY 16. HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT DEFECTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHETHER THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE CORRECTLY. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF IS PEELING AFTER LESS THAN 10 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE NECK, CHEST, AND KNEE, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE RECENTLY NOTIFIED OF COVERAGE IN THE AIRBAG RECALL AND RECEIVED THE INSTRUCTION TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE) REPAID HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THIS CAUSED ME TO NOTICE THAT THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR WAS NOT ILLUMINATING EVEN WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DANGEROUS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REMAINS ACTIVE EVEN WITHOUT A PASSENGER THERE. I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL CENTER AND SPOKE WITH A SUPERVISOR, MS. VANESSA ROBINSON, WHO TOLD ME MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING TO A DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR CHECKED. I THINK I CAN REASONABLY TAKE THE CAR'S USER DISPLAY AT FACE VALUE, SUGGESTING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO REMAIN ACTIVE, SUCH THAT HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE AN INTERIM MECHANISM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS PART OF THE RECALL. I AM PARTICULARLY CONCERNED GIVEN THAT WE USED OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN TEXAS FOR MANY YEARS, WHERE I UNDERSTAND THE CLIMATE INCREASES THE RISK FROM THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE, FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FIRST WEEK IN JULY, HAVE CONTACTED BROOKDALE HONDA, BROOKLYN CENTER, MN SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING REPAIR AND AM ALWAYS TOLD THE "PART IS ON ORDER, WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN PARTS ARRIVE".

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY 2016 (OFFICIAL DATE MAY 23, 2016) DETAILING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE PROBLEM IS THAT "THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVER-AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED." THE LETTER GOES ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS COULD CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION AND HARM THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT. THE ONLY OPTION GIVEN IN THE LETTER IS TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. ACCORDING TO THE LETTER, THE PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE BY NOW. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHER PEOPLE'S SAFETY AS THEY RIDE IN MY CAR. ***TOO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED, AND I EXPECT IMMEDIATE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE.***

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY. I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 STATING THAT IT WOULD HAVE THE PART BY LATE SUMMER/FALL. THAT WAS THE LAST COMMUNICATION I RECEIVED. I AM DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AUTO THAT MAY CAUSE GREAT LIABILITY OR INJURY TO ME.

TAKATA RECALL -- 90 DAYS HAS PAST WITH ACTION FROM DEALERSHIP

TAKATA RECALL RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER DATED JULY 2016. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD WOULD BE A FEW MONTHS. NO WORD YET!

HONDA HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2006-2011 MODEL YEAR CIVIC VEHICLES. THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVER-AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED. THIS PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANT. AMERICAN HONDA HAS OR THE DEALER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGE, WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME (60-DAYS FROM THE DATE I WAS FIRST CONTACTED FOR REPAIR APPOINTMENT IN JULY 2016).

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER DURING THE SUMMER (2016) SAYING THAT MY AUTOMOBILE WAS NOW ON A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THE LETTER STATED THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A SECOND LETTER GIVING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, BUT NO LETTER WAS EVER RECEIVED.

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE INITIAL NOTICE SINCE LAST 3 MONTHS AND YET NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT PROVIDING ME AN ALTERNATIVE/RENTAL MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I TRAVEL 50 MILES, EVERYDAY. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE AND MY FIANCE CANNOT EVEN RIDE WITH ME, WITHOUT TAKING THE DANGER OF BEING KILLED BY THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. MY CAR ALSO SHOWS SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT, FOR WHICH DEALERS WANT $100 TO DIAGNOSE.

TAKATA RECALL COMPLAINT SUN VISORS FELL APART CAUSING HARM, INJURY

SUN VISOR GLUE MELTS IN THE HEAT AND THE SUN VISOR STOPS FUNCTIONING AND CREATES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. ALSO, PIECES OF PLASTIC CAN FLAKE OFF AND FALL ON THE DRIVER, POTENTIALLY GETTING IN THE DRIVER'S EYE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH MY CIVIC, NOT LIMITED TO A SCATTERED TRANSMISSION (~110K), A LED BRAKE LIGHT GOING OUT (~90K), AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE 10-048 CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK (JUST RECENTLY).

HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I HAD WHITE SMOKE COME OUT OF MY ENGINE BAY. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE TOWING. HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER JUST TO FIND OUT THAT ITS GOT CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. AND THE SAID I AM OUT SIDE OF TIME PERIOD FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY JUST OVER A MONTH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE... IF THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK IS FAULTY THEN HOW CAN THEY PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE WARRANTY. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR NOT TOO LONG AGO AND NOW I HAVE TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO GET IT TO RUN AGAIN. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL PERIOD....

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A CLICKING NOISE. BY THE TIME I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON. MY CAR THEN DIED AND SOON FOUND THE CAR HAD OVERHEATED. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK BUT WERE UNABLE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MORE THAN 8 YEARS SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS OFFERED FOR THIS PROBLEM.
