I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE IMA BATTERY WAS REPLACED AT CURRY HONDA IN CHICOPEE, MA IN 2014. AS CONSUMER REPORTS REPORTED IN 2014 THE IMA BATTERIES ARE VERY UNRELIABLE. MY IMA BATTERY RECENTLY WENT BAD AGAIN AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. FULL DISCLOSURE THE CAR HAS A SALVAGE TITLE. THIS DID NOT MATTER IN 2014 WHEN IT WAS FIRST REPLACED. UPON FURTHER INVERTIGATION I SEE THE WARRANTY ON THE BATTERY IS NOW 11 YEARS OR 162.000 MILES. MY CAR HAS UNDER 130,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN 11 YEARS OLD. ALSO THE IMA BATTERY IS LISTED UNDER THE EMISSION SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED FOR SAFETY ISSUES. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2012/SB-10051509-6014.PDF
'TAKATA RECALL' THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AT RANDOM TIME WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN MOTION; IT IS VERY RANDOM. I COULD NOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IF THE CAR IS NOT ACTING UP WHEN GETTING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT TELL ME THE PROBLEM. IT FIRST START HAPPENING IN JUNE 2018. IT STOPPED FOR MONTHS AND NOW IS MESSING AGAIN OUT OF NO WHERE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS NOT OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VACAVILLE HONDA (751 ORANGE DR, VACAVILLE, CA 95687) ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY REPAIRED THE WARNING INDICATOR; HOWEVER, IT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.
WIPERS ON 08 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID GO ON EVERY TIME THE CAR IGNITION IS STARTED. AFTER 7-8 SWISHES, WIPERS STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 07-071 REPORTED THIS ISSUE ON 9/24/10 AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER PLATE. OTHER INTERNET SEARCHES RECOMMEND REPLACING THE ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY 76505-SNA-A02. DEALER REPAIR QUOTE WAS OVER $500: $117 FOR THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY PLUS LABOR. ONLY 06-07 MODELS ARE COVERED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN 07-071, BUT THERE ARE 240 REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM AT HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/WIPERS-WONT-PARK-DUE-TO-WINDSHIELD-WIPER-MOTOR-FAILURE-531?TRK_LOC=RR# . THE SAME PART WAS RECALLED IN 2003. HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS DECLINED TO TAKE ACTION SINCE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, WHICH INCIDENTALLY ONLY COVERS THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF THE CAR. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MALFUNCTIONS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED. WHY HASN'T HONDA EXTENDED THE DATES IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN SINCE THE PROBLEMS HAVE CLEARLY PERSISTED WELL BEYOND 2007 MODELS?
..I WAS NOTICING GAS FUMES IN MY GARAGE FOR ABOUT A WEEK...EARLY ON CALLED DEALERSHIP AND SAID I HAD RECENTLY GASSED UP...I WAS ADVISED TO SEE IF MAYBE ODOR WOULD ABATE ON ITS OWN PERHAPS DUE TO SPILLING UPON FILLING...IT DID NOT...THERE WAS A CRACK FOUND WHERE THE GAS TANK CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE AND SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS WAS LEAKING REQUIRING A REPLACEMENT OF GAS TANK AND REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT 1350....I LOOKED ON LINE TO FIND INFO RE RECALL NOTICE FOR SOME 80000 VEHICLES FOR SAME PROBLEM....HOWEVER ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS IN THE SAID GROUP....MY VIN WAS NOT...ALSO I PURCHASED MY CAR DEC 07 LEAVING FIVE MONTHS OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY IF APPLIED.....I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A DISCOUNT AS I HAVE PURCHASED TWO VEHICLES FROM THIS DEALERSHIP SINCE 1992 AND ALL HAVE BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED.......I APPRECIATE THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT IN FORM OF DISCOUNT.......ALTHOUGH TECHNICALLY IT APPEARS I FALL OUT OF THE RANGE OF WARRANTY IN THE SPIRIT OF THE ISSUE...I WANTED THIS SAFETY FLAW TO BE MADE AWARE. I BELIEVE I WAS PUT IN HARMS WAY TO A DEGREE...IF GAS HAD TRICKLED ON A MANIFOLD OR IN THE GARAGE...THE PILOT LIGHT OF MY WATER HEATER MAY IGNITE AND AN EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR.......SO I FEEL COMPELLED TO SHARE EXPERIENCE. ADDITIONALLY I FEEL A 'FIX IT' LIGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED TO APPEAR ON MY DASHBOARD
I OWN A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THAT STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS AND NOW IT IS LEAKING REALLY BAD TO THE POINT THA I AM AFRAID IT WILL CATCH FIRE .
2008 HONDA CIVIC HAS EXCESSIVE, DANGEROUS REAR TIRE WEAR. NO HEAVY TOWING OR ANYTHING CRAZY, AND THE INNER EDGE OF THE TIRES (ABOUT 3" INWARD) WEARS COMPLETELY OFF BY 15,000-20,000 MILES, WELL SHORT OF THE FRONT TIRES, OUR REAR OUTER EDGE OF THE TIRE. VERY DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE, MAKES NOISE AND AFFECTS BRAKING. HONDA HAS A TSB, BUT WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT REQUIRING A RECALL.
FOLLOWING REFUELING, STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE VAPORS PRESENT. OVERNIGHT, FUEL SEEPED OUT FROM WHERE FUEL FILLER MEETS THE TANK, SATURATING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TANK AND DRIPPING TO FORM A POOL OF GASOLINE ON THE FLOOR. VEHICLE OWNER IS VERY CONCERNED FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY, ESPECIALLY RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE SUCH AS A HOME GARAGE. VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 125,000 MILES. HONDA DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO INQUIRE ON BEHALF OF VEHICLE OWNER WHETHER HONDA CORPORATE WILL COVER REPAIRS AS PART OF ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL, UNLESS VEHICLE OWNER FIRST PAYS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. HONDA DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GIVE EVEN A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF REPAIRS BASED ON VEHICLE OWNER'S DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM. HONDA DEALERSHIP DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ALTERNATE MEANS FOR CUSTOMER TO CONTACT HONDA CORPORATE WITH THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT FIRST PAYING HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. PREVIOUS NEWS ARTICLES REPORT HONDA'S KNOWLEDGE AND ISSUANCE OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM GOING BACK TO 2011, BUT THE WARRANTY WAS REPORTEDLY LIMITED TO 10 YEARS AND 120,000 MILES. VEHICLE OWNER WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS VIA MAIL OR DURING ANY SERVICE VISITS TO VARIOUS HONDA DEALERSHIPS. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND OWNERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL TANK LEAK. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN.

THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED ON 9/6/17, A LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY 2006-2011 VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER (DCH ACADEMY HONDA, 1101 U.S 9, OLD BRIDGE, NJ, 08857) WHERE THE P0A7F CODE APPEARED (HYBRID BATTERY FAILED). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PRICE OF THE PART. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE FOR A SECOND OPINION. BOTH THE FAILURE AND PART COST WERE CONFIRMED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO KEEP CALLING THE DEALER. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.
IT BEGINS AT ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE CAR SOMETIMES COULDN'T STOP AFTER PUSH THE BREAK PADDLE. AND IT MAKES VERY LOUD "GAGAGA" NOISEWHEN IT FAILS TO BREAK. IT HAPPENED FEW TIMES ON LOCAL STREET, AND ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER YESTERDAY, THE HONDA DEALER FOUND : IT IS THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE. IF IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY , I WOULD BE KILLED IF I WAS NOT VERY CAREFUL, I WAS NOT VERY CAREFUL, THERE WAS NO ANY SIGN OF THE FAILURE. EVEN THE HONDA SERVICE TECHS SPENT ALL DAY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM OF THE CAR. I TALKED TO HONDA USA, THEE REP TOLD ME IT ONLY OFFERS 3 YEARS WARRANTY . I THINK, THIS IS NOT WARRANTY PROBLEM. IF IT FAILED WITHIN 3 YEAS AND PEOPLE WERE LOST LIVES ALREADY, REPLACE THE PARTS DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING. IT IS TOO LATE. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT HONDA MUST RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE AND FIX MY MY CAR WITHOUT COST ME A PENNY. AND CHECK ALL THE SIMILAR PARTS ON ALL THE CARS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AFTER LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION SHOP, BUT IT HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED IF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS ONE FATALITY DUE TO THE CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
TAKATA RECALL: MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER,. REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WERE SUPPOSE TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016.
IN JULY 2016, HONDA SENT ME AN INITIAL LETTER ADVISING ME OF AN AIRBAG RECALL IN MY VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE LETTER AND NHTSA'S WEBSITE, THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE NO LATER THAN FALL 2016. TO DATE, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL LETTER FROM HONDA.
FUEL TANK IS LEAKING. TOOK INTO LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE FUEL TANK HAD A CRACK AT THE SEAM WHERE THE INLET TUBE ATTACHES TO THE TANK. THEY WANT $951 TO REPLACE TANK, I SAID NO BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECK THE INTERNET & FOUND OUT HONDA HAD A ISSUE WITH THIS AND THEY HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY US OF THIS PROBLEM. NOW WE HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT OUR CAR HAS 148,700 MILES. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN GOING ON BECAUSE WE PARKED THE CAR OUTSIDE. WHEN THE RECENT RAINS ARRIVED WE STARTED PARKING OUR CAR IN THE GARAGE & THAT'S WHEN WE SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN THE GARAGE. THIS OCCURRED DURING THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OF DECEMBER 2016. THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT WE SHOULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR & WE SHOULD NOT FILL THE GAS TANK OVER 50% FULL THAT WAY WE SHOULDN'T LOSE ANY GAS. NOTICE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE.
I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. I CAME HOME FROM A SHORT TRIP TO FIND THAT MY CAR HAD A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND THE FULL TANK THAT I HAD WHEN I LEFT FOR MY TRIP WAS NO LONGER FULL. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP ' ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE GAS TANK HAD RUPTURED, AND THAT THE REPAIRS WERE VERY EXPENSIVE. DOING RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT HONDA HAD ISSUED AN 'EXTENDED WARRANTY' FOR HONDA CIVICS BETWEEN 2006 AND 2011 FOR GAS TANKS BECAUSE 'SMALL CRACKS MAY DEVELOP.' ACCORDING TO THE ONLINE SOURCE, HONDA DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE. LEAKING GAS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? HOWEVER, I NEVER GOT NOTICE OF THE WARRANTY ISSUE, MY DEALERSHIP ' WHO CONDUCTED ALL MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR FOR MANY YEARS NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF ANY ISSUES, AND WHILE MY CAR FALLS WITHIN THE TEN YEAR LIMIT OF THE WARRANTY I AM, ACCORDING TO HONDA, OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS OF THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE MILEAGE LIMITS ARE 120,000 MILES AND I HAVE 122,000 MILES ON MY CAR. 2,000 MILES MEANS I GET TO PAY OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE A FAULTY PART ON A CAR THAT HONDA KNEW WAS AN ISSUE, AND COULD, IF NOT REPAIRED RESULT IN HARM TO ME OR ANYONE RIDING IN OR DRIVING MY VEHICLE.
GOOD MORNING, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN OUR 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AND WE SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC. HE INFORMED US THAT WHEN HE RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC, CODE "33-10" CAME UP, STATING THERE IS AN OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE LEFT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED WE GO TO HONDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. DURING OUR VISIT TO HONDA, THEY CONFIRMED THE ISSUE AND INFORMED US THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST ~$1,600 TO FIX. (ATTACHED IS A COPY OF THE INFORMATION FROM HONDA) WE THEN WENT BACK TO OUR MECHANIC, WHO SUGGESTED THAT WE CONTACT THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WHEN CALLING THE SERVICE LINE, WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE SHOULD FILE A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. WE ARE OF COURSE VERY CONCERNED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH HONDA AND THE TAKATA INFLATORS, THAT PERHAPS OUR CAR MAY BE AFFECTED AS WELL. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT ARE IMPACTED, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT US IN INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED AND I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY HONDA.
I WAS DRIVING AROUND 3:00 PM WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I MANAGED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. IN THE THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS EVENT, THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF THE ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN FLOORED AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM WORK (IT NEVER HAPPENED AFTER THE DRIVE TO WORK WHICH WAS IN LESS TRAFFIC AND TOOK LESS TIME). IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME ON ONE OCCASION AND EXPERIENCED IT ALSO.
ON FEB 3 I MOVED CAR INTO GARAGE FOR FIRST TIME. THAT EVENING I SMELLED AN ODOR OF FUMES WHEN I RETURNED TO THE GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND TOOK THE CAR IN. HIS INVOICE AFTERWARDS READ "CHECK AND FOUND FUEL TANK LEAKING, DRAIN FUEL TANK, REMOVE AND REPLACE FUEL TANK, INVOICE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
VEHICLE MOVING IN TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY, ALL POWER LOST NOT ABLE TO MOVE AND INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. CHP REPORT PENDING. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.
THE CAR IS A HYBRID, IN WHICH HEAVILY RELIES ON A BATTERY. HOWEVER, THE BATTERY UNIT IS NOT SO GREAT AND DIES EVERY FEW YEARS. IF ONE DAY THE BATTERY DIES WHEN I'M DRIVING, IT CAN BE EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AS IT ALSO POWERS THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS CAN CAUSE A INCIDENT IN THE ROAD OR AT AN INTERSECTION. MOREOVER IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO BE BUYING A NEW BATTERY EVERY FEW YEARS, SO PEOPLE REMOVE THE ERROR CODE AND SELL THE CAR, WHICH CAUSES THIS TO BECOME AN NEVER ENDING CHAIN.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
