The paint on the hood of the car has been steadily peeling. When we took it to the dealer they admitted that other people had similar problems they don't cover for the damages. It wasn't included in the warranty. The car was only 4 years old when we started noticing the problem. *tr

The primer/paint/top coat began to fail about 18 months ago. The problem seems to be contained to the hood and roof, and it is progressively getting worse. It seems there is a problem with the quality of the finishing products used by honda on this car. *tr

After about a year after purchasing my car, i noticed the paint started to appear rather dusky. A short time later, my paint started to peel! My car was only three years old at time of purchase- so peeling paint is obviously not owners fault. No sooner did my roof begin to peel heavily, the hood and side panels and now trunk are starting to peel excessively. It is so embarrassing, and so gross. *tr

Defective paint on this year civic. Apparently according to internet reports, this is a common problem. I joined the class action suit against honda, not sure what else to do. *tr

Paint on 2007 honda civic coupe (black) fading, chipping, oxidizing same as numerous other complaints on this site and several others. The wear on this paint is not "normal wear and tear" for a 6 year old vehicle, nor is it a result of inadequate wax, maintenance, etc. This is a defect which honda should fix. I am very disappointed in the low quality this vehicle is reflecting on honda products. *tr

The trunklid of the 2007 honda civic departs from the open position while parked on a steep grade or with a gust of wind. Since most of the weight of the trunklid is aft the velocity of its movement increases as it is closing. The issue is persons attempting to load or retrieve items from the trunk compartment may suffer head injury as the lid is moving to the closed position without warning striking the person. *tr

I have a 2007 blue civic si sedan. The paint/clearcoat has begun to oxidize. Clear coat is flaking off all over the front fenders, hood, roof of car, a pillars, c pillars, spoiler and trunk. The side of the car have been ok so far. My car just missed the recall notice by a few months but has become worse every day. I wax my car 2-3 times a year and park in a garage at home and work. So the sun has minimal chance of…

There is "popping/crackling" noise coming from the front suspension, which is occurring in many other civics. Seems like a faulty "bump stop" which american honda should be responsible for because its happening in many cars. Secondly, the cheap paint which is used on their vehicles, they recently had a tsb on certain colors, its not only 3 colors which have this issue, i have a galaxy grey metallic which has paint…

I have bought a new 2007 honda civic hybrid and the air conditioner just stopped working. After going to the dealer i found out that a/c condenser was damaged. The dealership said that it was probably due to small pebbles on the road and that it would not be under warranty. I was shocked to hear that something like this would not be under warranty. I did some research online and found out there are thousands of…

Thin metal gauge of body allows for dings from acorns dropping from tree. I've had 5 other vehicles since owning this property and last fall my new honda hybrid developed over 20 quarter size dents all over the roof/trunk/hood. No other vehicles had this issue. *tr

Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission. I patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution. Honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably…
