After routine oil change, by my mechanic, an oil leak was noted. After close inspection on a lift it turned out to be small fissures in oil pan metal(aluminum). The car has always been garaged, and never in an accident. The development in the metal is obviously a serious matter as an oil leak can have devastating consequences. I spoke to honda(america) this afternoon and reported it. *tr

When i am driving my car and it goes into a shift gear it tugs back and forth than it kicks in, in only does it at certain speed than it stops. I want to know if there any recalls on the transmission and if any repairs are being done or have been done. I am afraid that it will just break apart in the middle of the expressway and cause some pileup and my life or others may be in danger. *tr

Car was overheating as i was stopped, drove to honda they said it's a cracked block that was consistent with this year i read up on many others on the internet - honda is only handling if a problem arises and some honda dealerships are trying to make the customer pay for the damage from their defective product is a class action lawsuit viable to protect honda owners? *tr

This is causing excessive noise and vibration, especially when the vehicle is cold. My car has under 90,000 miles and i spent over $400 to replace them. I am surprised there has not been a recall issued for this by the manufacturer already and i believe that there should…

While driving our 2007 honda civic our air conditioner stopped working. Unfortunately when i took the honda in for repair our warranty did not cover the condenser being damaged. A small hole was the culprit of the problem and ironic enough i am not the only one with this problem. Honda needs to fix these issues causing most of their vehicle going in for repairs that cost 500- 1000 to fix. I think it crap and its all…
