The air conditioning stopped working. When i took it to a dealer for service, they indicated that the compressor had failed, sending metal filings throughout the ac system (a $3700 repair). After a little searching, it is clear that many owners of honda civics (model years 2006-12) have had similar problems, as have drivers of other honda models. Honda recalled the ac systems on the cr-vs from this period, but not…

This car is overall good but its paint quality started to become chalky and discolored on the roof and trunk in 2015. I wonder if this is going to get covered by honda america because this issue makes my car look ugly and so the value becomes affected. Note: i park my car in my garage most of the time in california.

It was still sagging yet no flapping occurred, i exited prematurely at i95 to drive to the side…

Both sun visors in my car are not able to be pushed up anymore. It seems like they melted and came apart or cracked. I have researched online and this seems to be a common occurrence with my make and model of car.

The paint on the back of my roof and the top of my trunk has been slowly peeling off over the last few years. I have seen the same peeling paint pattern on several other honda civics in the 2007-2010 range. This is clearly a defect.

My son was involved in a car crash with a large suv. He hit them from the rear. My honda civic went under the bumper of the large suv. Due to the impact my bumper tore off, my headlights broke, my hood was smashed in and the front end of the car was smashed in. Why weren't the air bags deployed?? That is our concern? My son could have died in this crash due to faulty air bags. We have pictures of the crash. Our main…

2 things: 1) the passenger side visor broke for no reason. It now hangs in the way of my vision. It doesn't stay up. It is a hazard. I can't have a passenger sit there because it completely obstructs their view. 2) the paint is damaged. Server all spots are "worn out".

As i was driving with the sun visor down, i did not need the use of the visor. I tried to push the visor up like many times before. I had to quickly realize that the visor was broken.

There was a crack in the edge that is closest to the windshield. To put the visor up requires…

The fenders on this model of honda are merely tacked on. My car was lightly bumped four times and the fenders had to be repaired. They only have a minimum of connectors holding onto them. The old fashion bumpers would prevent this. Updated 01/20/11 *bf
