THEIR FRONT LEFT FENDER AND TIRE WERE BENT IN AND BOTH OF THEIR FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY WHOLE FRONT END WAS CRUSHED IN AND THE CENTER OF MY HOOD LOOKED LIKE I HIT A TREE.

The contact’s daughter owns a 1998 Honda Civic equipped with Continental tires, Tire Line: General Altimax RT43, Tire Size: 185/65/R14, DOT Number: 6Y6LWBLJ1221. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver’s side front tire had a blowout. The contact stated that the tread and tire belt had detached, causing the vehicle to drive on the driver’s side front rim. The contact replaced the driver’s side front tire with the spare tire. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who inspected all four tires. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall for the tire. The failure mileage was approximately 123,679.

DRIVING ON I-84 DURING A RAINY MORNING RUSH HOUR, AT 70MPH, MY HONDA CIVIC'S FRONT LEFT TIRE EXPERIENCED AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF AIR. I PULLED OVER TO THE NEXT EXIT AND CHANGED THE TIRE. TOOK THE TIRE TO THE LOCAL TIRE SHOP FOR REPAIR, AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE VALVE STEM HAD FAILED. AT THAT SPEED, THE TIRES WERE RUINED, SO I HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE. *TR

FOR RECALL ON A 1998 HONDA CIVIC DX REPLACE AIR BAG ,FUEL TANKERS, IGNITION SWITCH,FLOOR MAT.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO MAKE A HARD STOP. ON STOPPING THE VEHICLE BRAKES FAILED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR. VERY LUCKY THAT NO VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN WERE HIT. CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES FROM HOME. DROVE REMAINING DISTANCE AT 5 MPH WITH PARKING BRAKE ONLY. ON INSPECTION DISCOVERED THE TWO BRAKE LINES UNDER THE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC WERE CORRODED. IN ADDITION, THE THREE FUEL LINES ARE ALSO SEVERELY RUSTED, AND FUEL IS LEAKING FROM THE RETURN LINE. THE CORRODED BRAKE LINES ARE LINES 9 AND 11 IN THE 1998 HONDA CIVIC LX BRAKE DIAGRAM. LINE 11 IS CURRENTLY LEAKING LEAVING NO BRAKE PRESSURE FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. THE FUEL LINES ARE PIPES 15, 16 AND 19 IN THE FUEL LINE DIAGRAM WITH FUEL LINE 19 LEAKING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AWAITING TO BE SERVICED. BASED ON SEARCHES ONLINE FOR HONDA VEHICLES, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH HIGH USAGE OF SALT SUCH AS THE MID-WEST. VEHICLE OWNERS NEED TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SYMPTOM. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL OR NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA? IN ADDITION, THE REPAIR OF ALL OF THESE LINES IS VERY COSTLY TO THE OWNERS. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND WINDOW MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE DOOR CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED WITH A KEY, WITH KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE OR FROM UNLOCK HANDLE ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY UNLOCKED EVEN AFTER TURNING KEY IN KEY SLOT. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS TO INSERT KEY IN KEY SLOT, TURN KEY AND PULL DOOR HANDLE AT THE SAME TIME. THE PASSENGER CAN NOT OPEN DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING WINDOW, THE WINDOW WOULD GET STUCK. THE WINDOW SWITCH WOULD HAVE TO BE SWITCHED BETWEEN OPEN OR CLOSE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WINDOW WILL CONTINUE MOVING. BOTH OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS ARE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. WHAT IF THE PASSENGER(S) NEED TO GET OUT DURING AN EMERGENCY? *NM

CONSUMER STATED THAT GRANDDAUGHTER BOUGHT A CERTIFIED HONDA CIVIC AND HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ONE MONTH AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THE HEAD GASKET BLEW OUT, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS DONE BY THE DEALER THAT SOLD HER THE VEHICLE. THEN, POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKED, AND IT WAS REPAIRED 2 MONTHS LATER. IN MAY OF THIS YEAR THE SAME THING HAPPENED POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKED AGAIN. *AK THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT 89440 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED DUE TO SHIFTING PROBLEMS AT 90552 MILES. *NM

DEALER STATED THAT A/C SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE TOTALLY REPLACED. STATED THAT CAR HAD "BLACK DEATH".. WHEN I CALLED OTHER HONDA DEALER , THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF A NUMBER OF THESE INSTANCES, AND THAT 1998 CIVIC NEEDED THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM REPLACED IN MANY CARS THAT THEY HAVE SEEN.. ALSO, MY ROOMMATE , WITH A 1999 CIVIC , HAD TO REPLACE HER A/C UNIT LAST YEAR ALSO.. AND WITH CONSIDERABLY LESS MILES AT THE TIME.. WHEN I DESCRIBED MY SYMTOMS, SHE SAID IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO HER CAR ALSO.. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS LINE.. WAS TOLD THAT "I NEEDED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR".. IF IT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR, AND MY ROOMMATES CAR, ISNT IT HAPPENING TO OTHER CIVICS TOO? I ALSO AM A REPEAT HONDA OWNER, AND GOT 200,000 MILES OF WEAR OUT OF MY LAST CIVIC WITH VERY MINIMAL REPAIR....I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM.. AND THAT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING AFFECTING THOSE OF US WITH CIVICS IN THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.. MARC LIBBY. *AK

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CIVIC FROM FORT WORTH, TEXAS TO NEW MEXICO ON A TRIP WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE. SOON AFTER I NOTICED MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR ANYMORE. WHEN MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT, HE SAID THE COMPRESSOR HAD EXPLODED AND HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN THE COMPRESSOR EXPLODES IT IS SENDING SHRAPNEL INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. COULD THE REFRIGERANT CATCH FIRE? I FOUND TWO REPORTS OF 1998 HONDA CIVICS WITH EXPLODING COMPRESSORS AT THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND NONE FOR ANY OTHER MAKE. WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA, THEY SAID TOUGH LUCK, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD CUSTOMER AND BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.*AK

SINCE 2006 WE HAVE HAD SEVEN REPLACEMENTS OF THE HEADLIGHTS. HONDA HAS CHANGED BULBS AND ENTIRE HARNESSES. WE HAVE NOT BEEN TICKETED YET AT NIGHT, BUT THAT AND HAVING AN ACCIDENT ALWAYS HANGS OVER OUR HEAD. *TR

CAR WOULDN'T START, JAN 10, 2009 WAS TAKEN TO SERVICE STATION,BATTERY OK ENGINE OK, CHARGING SYSTEM OK, COMPUTER SYSTEM OK THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, CAR WOULD START FINE,NOTHING WAS DONE TO IT. 11 DAYS LATER CAR WOULDN'T START,SO IGNITION STARTER WAS REPLACED. CAR WAS OK UNTIL JAN 26(5 DAYS AFTER NEW CAR IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED) CAR IS STILL IN REPAIR SHOP. JUST FOUND OUT ON INTERNET ABOUT PROBLEMS AND RECALL OF 98 HONDA CIVIC IGNITION SWITCH. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT TO DO NEXT, NEED CAR FOR WORK TRAVEL. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE TO USE THIS CAR NOW. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT AT ALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN 2003 AND AGAIN 2005. O2 SINSOR & CATALYST CONVERTOR, ALSO REPLACED. I THINK THERE IS A DEFAULT WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A 1998 HONDA ACCORD LX COUPE V6

BOUGHT USED JUNE 2011 WITH ABOUT 169,000ISH, WAS ASSURED THAT EVERYTHING WAS CHECKED OUT. DROVE BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS, AND THEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. WITHIN TWO MONTHS THE BATTERY DIED, HAD TO REPLACE. IN JAN OF 2012 CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND I NOTICED A 2" CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR, REPLACED. NOW TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND RPMS GO WAY UP WHEN SHIFTING INTO FOURTH GEAR. I DRAINED AND CHANGED THE FLUID WITH THE RECOMMENDED HONDA FLUID, AND NOW THE HIGH RPMS AND SLIPPING ARE OCCURRING IN ALL FORWARD GEARS. I FEEL LIKE A VOICE IN A FREAKING TORNADO WHEN IT COME TO ANY REASONABLE SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR BLOW TO HONDA'S REPUTATION FOR ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DRIVER NOTICED PIECES OF METAL COMING FROM CAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WENT OUT.*AK BLOWER MOTOR FOR VENTILATION FAN HAS FAILED TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR . CONSUMER REPLACED TWO BLOWER UNITS AT HIS COST. *YH
