Not until 15+seconds on the flats could i slowly manage to get…

We purchased a 2006 honda civic lx back in late 2008. Back in the summer of 2010, the air conditioner just died. It blew air, just not cold air. Honda dealership said it wasn't covered under the warrantee, and that it would cost us $950 for repairs.

I have a 2006 honda civic and have had a problem with the sun visors splitting and falling into a down position without being able to put into an up position again. This results in an impeded view of my driving field. When i try to move it to the side window and make a turn the visor hits me in the head causing another issue while driving. Within the first year i had to have the driver's side replaced (not sure…

The air conditioner on my 2006 honda civic failed. Since i have a 10-yr extended warranty, i had my honda dealer diagnose the problem (cost $75). They told me that the ac condenser was damaged due to a rock/pebble impacting the condenser and that the warranty would not cover the problem. I had them replace the condenser (cost: $782). It turns out that there are hundreds of similar complaints about this defect for…

2006 honda civic tires are cupping and wearing prematurely. A loud pulsing noise is coming from the rear of the car along with a vibration that corresponds with the noise. Local dealership replaced the rear upper control arm in accordance with service bulletin 08-001 dated february 8, 2008. Unfortunately i had to pay for the new tires since it is only a service bulletin and not a recall.

I leased a new 2006 honda civic, 2-door coupe in april 2006. Twice while my car was still under the mileage warranty, the driver's side sun visor (part #88380-sna-a01za, h/c 8073496) failed. Failure in this case means the unit split apart at the seam connected to the arm that holds it to the headliner. The only way to fix the problem is to replace the visor. Each time the visor was replaced it lasted approximately a…

After normal use the driver side sun visor has broke. The inside of the visor apparently has substandard parts and manufacturing allowing the plastic inside to break. The visor does not stay up and becomes a distraction. *tr

I bought a 2006 honda civic with 50k miles on it one month ago. The air conditioning did not blow cold air from the very first time i turned it on. When i took it back to the honda dealership (it has a bumper-to-bumper warranty for a year), they said a pebble hit the condenser and it would cost $700 to replace and is not covered by warranty because it is considered a road hazard. After reading this website:…

My 2006 civic lx coupe has had problems with the windshield visors. I place a windshield shade daily when i park my car at work and use the visor to hold the shade in place. I've been having problems with the visor not being able to stay up because the plastic part that surrounds the rod splits open and the visor will not stay in the up position. A co-worker has a 2007 civic and has had the same problem. The dealer…

I was in the middle of traffic and the car just stops in the middle of the road with no warning. I tried to start the car but it just would not start. If i was on the freeway or going into a turn i believe that i could have been seriously injured or i could have injured someone else. Took the car to…

I bought my 2006 honda civic lx in november 2005. In august 2008 the wear sensor on the front brakes were squealing and i had to have the brake pads replaced and the rotors machined at 8976 miles. I was told that because i live in a geographically hilly area that my brakes would wear sooner than other areas. I find this unusual, other cars that i have driven in the same area did not have this problem. Since then i…
