I financed a 2007 Honda Civic on July 30 2025, this car has a faulty fuel pump from Roseville car group. There is no check engine light on, this just appeared this afternoon Aug 2nd 2025.
Engine Block Cracked. Coolant all leaked out of water jacket. (concurrent with TSB 10-048) Yes it is available for inspection. Car Over Heated, while traveling at speed. Manufacturer is denying inspection. No warning lamps, or lights.
LIKE ALL OTHERS WHO OWN HONDA HYBRID MY IMA BATTERIES FAILED LONG BEFORE THEY SHOULD HAVE NOW WITH MASSIVE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN CAR DRAINS 12V BATTERY AND YOU END UP WITH NO BRAKES OR STEERING IN TRAFFIC AND SUBJECT TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHY NO RECALL WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE WHO OWNS THIS HYBRID SINCE IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 2001 SHAMEFUL OVERSIGHT BY YOUR AGENCY.
STEAM BLURRED MY VISION WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT LOW SPEED IN MY 2007 CIVIC FROM AN APPARENT CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK LEAKING COOLANT ON HOT ENGINE FROM A KNOWN MANUFACTURES DEFECT OF ENGINE BLOCKS PRODUCED IN THE FACTORY FOR THE YEARS 2006 TO 2009 CIVICS 1.8L ENGINE . THE BULLETIN # WAS 10 048 TSB. CAR IS OVER THE AGE CUTOFF FOR THE FREE NEW ENGINE FROM HINDA. SO I AM STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE BROKEN CAR FROM THE COMPANIES DEFECT PER HONDA CORP. REPRESENTATIVES.
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. CAR ENGINE CRACKED WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND KNOWN ISSUE TO HONDA FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF THE CIVIC. I HAD MY THREE KIDS, INCLUDING AN INFANT IN THE CAR. TOOK IT TO HONDA WHERE THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE HAD JUST MISSED. MY CAR IS IN IMPECCABLE SHAPE WITH LOW MILEAGE (80,000). HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE ENGINE CRACK IN FULL (EXPECTING US TO PLAY 3,000), STATING THAT WE WERE NOT LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS AS OUR OTHER CAR WAS A TOYOTA. THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED BY HONDA AND THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS FIXED. AT THAT POINT, THEY SHOULD HAVE COMMUNICATED TO US REGARDING THE ENGINE AND THE CHANGES TO WARRANTY BASED ON THE KNOWN ISSUE.
I CANT OPEN GAS COVER BUT I CAN OPEN THE TRUCK OF THE CAR
ON AUGUST 31, 2017 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD SUDDENLY. FORTUNATELY I MANAGED TO PULL OVER THE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE IMMEDIATELY BESIDE THE HIGHWAY OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FATAL SITUATION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEAN HONDA AT PITTSBURGH WHERE THEY PERFORMED THE DIAGNOSIS TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WAS CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK WHICH HAS CAUSED THE COOLANT TO LEAK FROM THE ENGINE AND HENCE OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE HAS HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND FEW OTHER PARTS AS WELL (LIKE SPARK PLUG ETC.) TO MAKE THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN WHICH WOULD COST ME AROUND $4000. I DID SOME RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT MOST OF THE 2006 TO 2009 CIVICS HAD THE ENGINE CRACK ISSUE AND TSB 10-048 WAS ISSUED AND THE WARRANTY OF SUCH ENGINES WERE EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS AND THAT WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE IF SUCH ISSUES ARE FOUND. I CHECKED WITH MY SERVICE CONSULTANT AT DEAN HONDA IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. HE DID A VIN INQUIRY AND SAID THE WARRANT HAS EXPIRED 10 DAYS AGO AND THIS WON'T BE COVERED. (THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE OF THE CAR WAS 22-AUG-2007 AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME ON 31-AUG-2017). THIS IS A BIG BLOW TO ME. THIS IS MY FIRST CAR IN THE US. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS THE SECOND OWNER IN JULY 2015 WITH ONLY 36000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE HARDLY DRIVEN 15000 MILES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALSO NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT AND THAT'S WHY I PURCHASED IT WITH CONFIDENCE. CONSIDERING CUSTOMER'S SAFETY, THESE ENGINES NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY HONDA AND REPLACED WITH NEW ONES OR AT LEAST THE WARRANTY OF THESE ENGINES NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED FURTHER (FOR AT LEAST FOR 5 MORE YEARS). I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SURVIVE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID LIVING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA SO I'M SURE YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE OF WHAT THIS IS REGARDING. STARTING IN THE WINTER OF 2009, I NOTICED THAT MY MILEAGE WAS BEGINNING TO DROP AND THAT THE ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE WAS DIMINISHING SIGNIFICANTLY. BEFORE THIS PROBLEM STARTED, I WAS AVERAGING AROUND 45 MILES PER GALLON BUT THIS HAS SINCE DIMINISHED TO AROUND 34. I GOT THE CAR CHECKED OUT REPEATEDLY AND THEY PUT SOME SORT OF UPDATE ON MY BATTERY AND TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT THEN THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE LOS ANGELES TIMES. HONDA THEN OFFERED ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPDATE TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM BUT I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT IT. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAS THE EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS ME GOT THIS NEW UPDATE AND NOTHING AT ALL CHANGED AND HE IS STILL GETTING A CHECK EMISSIONS SYSTEM WARNING ON HIS DASHBOARD. I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE I SHOULD BE CONTACTING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT I HOPE TO FIND OUT WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP GET WHATEVER COULD BE DONE TO GET SOME SORT OF A RECALL ON THIS CAR IN MOTION. IT IS INSULTING WHAT HONDA IS PUTTING US THROUGH AND IS MAKING ME SERIOUSLY CONSIDER ABANDONING THE HONDA MARK FOREVER. *TR
I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FROM A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE DESIGN FLAW OF THE REAR TIRE ARMS OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED THE TIRE ARM TO RUB ON THE TIRES OF THE CAR UNTIL THE TIRES WERE NEARLY BALD CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUTTER AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE TIRES TO WEAKEN ENDANGERING ME AND MY PASSENGERS. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA, I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE THE TIRES PREMATURELY 2 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR DUE TO THE IRREGULAR WEAR ON THE TIRES. HONDA DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE PROBLEM, REFUSED TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES BUT FINALLY ADMITTED AFTER THE SECOND PAIR OF TIRES WERE RUBBED BALD, THAT THE TIRE ARM OF THE CAR WAS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. THEY REPAIRED THE TIRE ARM, BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR NEW TIRES. THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR IS ALSO FLAWED IN DESIGN. OCCASIONALLY WHEN ACCELERATING, THE GAS PEDAL OF THE CAR CAN BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL NOT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE AND WILL LOOSE POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS, ENTERING THE FREEWAY, AND GOING UP HILLS ENDANGERING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY PASSENGERS. HONDA AGAIN, DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE PROBLEM, BUT TOLD ME WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AFTER EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEMS THAT I NEEDED AN UPGRADE TO MY COMPUTER AND THAT THOSE UPGRADES MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. THOSE UPDATES TO THE COMPUTERS EFFECT THE BATTERY OF THE HYBRID PART OF THE CAR'S ENGINE. THOSE BATTERIES ARE LOOSING THE ABILITY TO HOLD A CHARGE AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL BECAUSE THE CAR RELIES ON THAT BATTERY POWER TO RUN THE ENGINE. THE GAS MILEAGE OF THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN STEADILY DECLINING. WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW, IT GOT 45 MPG AND HONDA ADVERTISED IT GET 50 MPG, THE CAR NOW GETS AROUND 33 MPG. THE COMPUTER UPDATES ARE CHANGING THE WAY THE CAR RUNS OFF OF GAS AND BATTERY POWER AND HONDA IS NOT REPLACING THE FAULTY BATTERIES. THIS HAS ENDANGERED MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY PASSENGERS BECAUSE THE FAULTY BATTERIES EFFECT HOW THE CAR OPERATES. *TR
THE INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST (IMA) SYSTEM ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING ON A DAILY BASIS SINCE THE WEATHER HAS BEEN GREATER THAN 90 DEGREES THIS YEAR. THE SYSTEM BEHAVES ERRATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING AN EXTREME DECREASE IN THE HYBRID MOTOR BATTERY CHARGE AND OVERALL VEHICLE POWER AT UNEXPECTED TIMES. THIS LOSS OF POWER CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE ANTICIPATED PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT POWER TO OVERTAKE A VEHICLE (PASS) OR TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED RELATIVE TO OTHER CARS WHEN ON AN INCLINE, WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE GAS ENGINE RPM. ADDITIONALLY, THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT A COMPARABLE RATE TO OTHER VEHICLES IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE IMA, CAUSING UNEXPECTED BACKUPS OF TRAFFIC BEHIND MY VEHICLE. AT TIMES (INTERMITTENT PROBLEM) THE REGENERATIVE CHARGING SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE FIGHTING WITH THE VEHICLES ACCELERATION WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS CAUSES RANDOM CHANGES IN THE BRAKING POWER AND THE RESULTANT BRAKE PRESSURE REQUIRED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS RESULTS IN SMALL AND UNEXPECTED POWER/ACCELERATING SURGES WHEN COMING TO A STOP, WHICH COMPROMISES THE ABILITY TO SAFELY JUDGE THE DISTANCE AND SPEED AT WHICH TO BEGIN APPLYING THE BRAKE IN ANTICIPATION OF AN UPCOMING STOP. *TR
CAR WOULD NOT START DUE TO LOW BATTERY CHARGE. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. AFTER BATTERY JUMP, THE IMA SYSTEM OF THE HONDA CIVIC HYBRID DID NOT FUNCTION. IMA YELLOW CAUTION LIGHT AND GREEN DRIVE LIGHT (FLASHING) WERE ON AND OFF. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT FOR 45 MINUTES TO RECHARGE. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS THERE WAS A LACK OF POWER. AT REST, THE CAR AND STEERING NEARLY SHUTS DOWN! THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER. THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT 21 ERROR CODES CAME ON AND THAT THEY ARE CONTACTING HONDA. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE FRONT LEFT TIRE STRUCK A PIECE OF WOOD AND RUPTURED THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT A COST OF $640.00. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT DOES NOT FEEL THE REPAIR WILL REMEDY THE FAILURE SINCE THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE FAILED COMPONENT WITH A PLASTIC FUEL TANK WITHOUT A GUARD TO PROTECT THE FUEL TANK FROM ROAD DEBRIS OR RECURRING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,010.
UNDER HUMID CONDITIONS, THE MAIN BATTERY OF THIS HYBRID SUDDENLY DRAINS, LEAVING THE CAR WITHOUT THE ELECTRIC MOTOR. IN THIS VEHICLE, THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS VERY LIMITED TORQUE (NORMALLY SUPPLIED BY THE ELECTRIC MOTOR). THIS FIRST OCCURRED IN THE SUMMER OF 2007 AND HAS CONTINUED WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY TO THE PRESENT TIME. THIS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SELLING DEALERSHIP (SOUTHERN MOTORS OF SAVANNAH) IN AUGUST OF 2007 AND AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG DESPITE BEING SHOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF THE FAILURE. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 8, 2008 WITH FURTHER PROOF OF THE PROBLEM. THE HAVE CLAIMED THAT THEY CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND WERE TOLD THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAD FOUND NO SOLUTION. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON AUGUST 27, 2007 WITH THE CONDITION UNRESOLVED. *TR
UPON READING REPORT # 10235631 ON HONDA CIVIC 2007, "A SOUND LIKE WATER RUSHING FROM THE REAR UNDERSIDE OF CAR UPON BRAKING AND ACCELERATING": MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC DOES THIS ALSO. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT IT IS THE PARTIAL TANK OF GASOLINE SLOSHING BACK AND FORTH INSIDE THE GAS TANK. MOST, IF NOT ALL, CARS' GAS TANKS HAVE SHEET METAL BAFFLES INSIDE THE GAS TANK TO LIMIT THE SLOSHING OF FUEL UPON MOTION OF CAR. EITHER THE BAFFLES ARE NOT ADEQUATE OR NON-EXISTENT. DEALER JUST LOOKS AT ME WHEN I MENTIONED THIS. I KNOW CARS INSIDE AND OUT, AS I HAVE DONE ALMOST ALL OF THE MECHANICAL REPAIRS ON MY CARS FOR 55 YEARS, INCLUDING THE INNARDS OF THE GAS TANK. "IT'S A NO-BRAINER" ! *TR
THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) INCLUDES A "DRIVE-BY-WIRE" FUEL THROTTLE SYSTEM THAT SIMULATES LEAVING YOUR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR EVEN WHEN YOUR FOOT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PEDAL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS OR ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE. THIS CONDITION PRESENTS A SAFETY THREAT AS WELL AS NECESSITATING EXCESSIVE BRAKING FORCE CAUSING UNNECESSARY PREMATURE WEARING OF THE BRAKE LINING AND ROTORS. A TSB WAS RELEASED FOR THE 2006 HONDA CIVIC SI THAT ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THIS SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, THIS CORRECTION IS EITHER NOT ADDRESSED ON THE 2007 MODEL OR NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED TO CORRECT THE SAFETY THREAT CAUSED BY THIS CONDITION. *TR
WHEN ENGINE IS WARM AND CAR IS AT IDLE (EITHER WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR WHEN PARKING BEFORE SHUTDOWN) AND YOU OPEN/CLOSE SUN ROOF AND/OR POWER WINDOWS THE RPMS DIP, CAR SHAKES, AND ENGINE ALMOST STALLS BEFORE RPMS RECOVER TO NORMAL IDLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWO DOZEN TIMES AND STARTED HAPPENING SOON AFTER TAKING DELIVERY. AT APPROX 400 MILES CAR WAS TAKEN INTO DEALER AND DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE AND ALSO REPRODUCED THE PROBLEM ON OTHER NEW CIVICS ON DEALER LOT. DEALER RESET PCM AND PERFORMED IDLE RELEARN PROCEDURE. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. DEALER REPORTED TO HONDA ENGINEERING AND THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ISSUE AND OFFERED NO ADVICE. ADDITIONALLY AT APPROX 600 MILES AFTER CAR SAT UNUSED ALL DAY AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START LATER THAT NIGHT, THE CAR DID NOT START ON FIRST ATTEMPT. ON SECOND ATTEMPT AND AFTER CRANKING LONGER THAN USUAL FOR STARTUP, THE CAR STARTED ROUGHLY WITH A JOLT AND RAN ROUGH (CAR SHAKING) FOR 3-5 SECONDS. *TR
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.
