Engine · Service Brakes · Steering
Faulty a/c compressor locks up the drive belt causing the crankshaft pulley to stop rotating which results in the engine and all accessories (power steering, power brakes, etc.) to turn off randomly in the middle of driving. This happens after the engine is turned-on and has occurred consistently when the vehicle is driven for a few minutes and when it is at idle for a few minutes. No warnings or engine fault codes…

I've had/having several problems with my 2007 honda civic that i bought brand new. My back tires have worn very unevenly over the years and because of this car eating tires i've replaced tires almost every 2 years. There is also a popping sound when driving when you make a tight turn. I've also had many problems with my a/c. I've had the blower fan stop working and some component relating to it replaced 3 times. My…

While driving in a residential area at approx 20-25 mph, there was a loud bump as if a rock had hit the underside of the car; shortly the steering was off kilter -- to go straight had to keep the steering wheel turned 30 degrees right; loud rubbing sound; pulled into a driveway and then could not back up -- found that right front tire was bent in, so that top of tire abutted the wheel well. Car towed to dealer --…

When driving and making left or right turns or u turns, there is a knocking sound coming from the front of the car. This has been happening since i have owned the car(27000 miles). The dealer visually inspected the front end but didn't see anything. The knocking can be felt through the steering and it feels like something is going to break. The car has 51000 miles and the problem still persists.

I live in arizona and my car is immaculate. I took my car in to have two service bulletins fixed: 3rd gear pops out/ grinds and knocking noise from front when turning. I thought honda dealer or american honda corp. Would come thru and fix what was inadequately designed/built. The dealer treated me like i was an idiot, and honda corp. Said i should have known and reported the problem under warranty. $1700 for 3rd…

The car goes out of third gear out of nowhere. I have had three close calls on the freeway due to the fact that as your accelerating the gear stops working and leaves the car in neutral when you should be going forward. This causes the car behind you to brake suddenly or you to loose focus of what's in front of you since you tend to look down to see what the problem is and do not expect you car to be out of gear. *tr

Since i got my car with 62,000 miles every time i take it to get oil changes every 3 months the tell me the control arms are bad and causing uneven wear on the tire tread... I get new tires and it only last so long before the car starts to shake because of the uneven wear not even going at a high speed... It makes it harder to stop due to the shaking which scares me when i have to stop suddenly due to other drivers…

Car is very unstable when subjected to crosswinds. Steering corrections have to be constantly made to keep the car on course. This is extremely dangerous as overcorrections can happen. I notice other similar size cars i'm following on the highway in the same conditions are not nearly affected as i am. I purchased the car used with 60k miles back in 10/2010 and it has always been a problem. I had the rear upper…

Started noticing a rough ride and excessive road noise so took my vehicle to a local honda dealer for alignment and was told the noise was due to tire wear. Over the past year two repair places that have replaced my oil have told me the tire wear was due to worn out struts. This spring the dealer finally told me it was a common problem caused by the upper control arms and it would cost close to $400 to replace them.…
