Trunk latch suddenly failed. There is no keyhole on the exterior trunk, and the fob and interior switch can't open it. The seat releases are also in the trunk, so there is no way to fix the problem without going to the dealer, and they want to charge for the repair even though there are multiple pages of complaints on the web about the problem that date back to 2008. I can't get to my spare tire or any of my other…

2/21/2014 to whom it may concern, a very real safety concern! I was just going to pay to have this fixed and then looked on the internet and found that many people have had and does have this. It has been going on since 2004 - 2011 even on lexus's according to the internet. The wiper will stop on the windshield and we never know when it is going to stop completely, it will stop and go and sometimes when it is…

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…

My honda has been well taken care of. I have hand waxed it twice a year since i purchased it new in 2006. This past year, the paint on the roof and trunk began to peel off. The car now looks like its 20 years old and honda refuses to do anything about it. Both visors on the car have broken 3 times, the trunk latch broke ruining 100.00 worth of groceries and the tires continuously warp due to a defect in the year…

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…

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…

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…

I recently had an incident on my 2006 honda civic ex coupe in which the trunk lid door jammed and would not open. There are two ways of opening the trunk, one being on the remote and the other being the lever in the driver compartment. (the trunks on these cars do not have a keyed entry.) upon further investigation, i discovered that the trunk has no access from the outside of the trunk if the lid door will not…

I have a 2006 honda civic. I have had to replace the rear tires on it 4 times since april of 2007. I contacted honda today, december 2, 2008 after finding a bulletin that they posted about the problem, but because my vehicle is now out of warranty they refuse to reimburse me or pay to get this fixed. It states in the bulletin that the rear upper control arm is too short and that it causes uneven and rapid rear tire…

Both drivers side and passenger side sun visors broke before 30k miles, and dealership replaced. Visors have again broken, but car is no longer under warranty and the dealership will not replace. Many owners of same make/model car have complained about this same defect. I think a recall is appropriate. *tr

Bought a 2006 honda civic brand new. About a year and a half later, started noticing a small area on the top of the trunk where the paint was coming off. It gradually spread where paint was coming off from the roof , to the front hood to the side panels of both the driver and passenger doors down to the fenders. The car looks terrible, big splotches all over the car where paint has come off. It makes the car look…

The driver's side visor broke off completely. The internal mechanism used to raise and lower the visor does not move easily -- now, not at all --causing the plastic visor to fall apart. Dealer has agreed to replace it, but it is on back order because of the number of complaints and problems with this component. *jb

Rear windshield lifts off at right rear pillar when the air of closing the driver or passenger door pushes it out of the frame. Two days later at the service appointment, the rear windshield had lifted off the entire roof line, with a height of 2 inches at the right rear pillar. Honda service dept. Said they'd never seen anything like it; the caulking had not been sufficient to keep the windshield in place. They…

The front and rear windows squeak over mild to severe bumps. The noise was brought to my dealers attention, they thought it was due to the rear deck and tightened and foamed the rear deck to solve the problem. This has not solved the noise problem, so on the next visit, i stressed that it may be coming from the windows. They say they might have found the problem, where the windows needed to be oiled, ie. Blade area?…
