#1059 of 1193 AC/heater fan by rossg Jan 08, 2009 (4:33 pm)
I have a 2006 EX, just wondering if anyone else has had a problem or replaced their heater fan? The other day when I was driving it made alot of noise (like a bad bearing) It has since quieted down but it still making noise. Replies to this message: wbeattie (Jan 08, 2009 6:07 pm)

Replying to: rossg (Jan 08, 2009 4:33 pm) I have no idea if this is your problem but I have two Toyota's that have had similar heater fan problems. The mice like to try and build nests inside the heater fans in the winter. I have pulled out dead mice in two cars this winter. I also have a 2006 Civic EX but I have not had the problem with this car yet. You could have something inside the fan that is causing it to go off balance. The fan can become very noisy if this happens.
#1061 of 1193 excessive engine vibration by lynnjer Jan 09, 2009 (10:38 am)
So for the last five months or so, I've been experiencing what I feel is excessive egine vibration for my 2006 Civic EX. I see some posts about the engine mounts, but I've been to two dealers and they 1. say they can't identify the vibration or think it's normal, and 2. the engine mounts look fine.   I drive about 100 miles to work, and a 100 back. I get a monster headache that lasts the entire week. I can't keep putting up with this. I can't trade in an 06 with almost 80k miles on it and expect anything for it. In this economy, I sure as heck can't afford it.   I know crap about cars, unfortunately, but someone told me about engine harmonizers. One tech guy at the dealer said they're not real mechanics anymore. If they can't visually identify or pinpoint the issue, they can't take things apart to find it. For them to look into the harmonizer thing, is probably gonna be about $300 minimum.   I am not making this vibration thing up either. Driving this much, I'm gonna have a pretty darn good feel about my car and know what's normal and not. This is certainly not.   Does anyone have any suggestions I can do to resolve this?   Much thanks...

Replying to: lynnjer (Jan 09, 2009 10:38 am) You might want to look into the threads about the wheel alignment issues on honda civics. At least in the Hybrids their a service bulletin to repair and wheel alignment. I had some rear hard vibration, especially as i picked up on speed. New tires will resolve for a bit, but the tires will wear out uneven again.   The vibration is being caused by the uneven wear on the tires. At least in my car it was, rear tires were excessively being worn on the inside edge of tires. Check your tires to see they show uneven wear, inside or outside edge or even look lick bumps or not smooth.   Hope this provides you with additional info on what else to look into!

Replying to: HybridCivic007 (Jan 09, 2009 10:55 am) Yeah, it's not the tires. That was suspected at first, and thus I had them all replaced. It even happens when the car is completely stopped. It was so bad on yesterdays drive home, that I went straight to the dealer, and this time the tech said he kind of felt it. I have little faith in them though.   Anyone else have any ideas about this? Thanks.
#1064 of 1193 Re: Dashboard rattle [studdly] by seanhawk Jan 10, 2009 (8:16 pm)
Replying to: studdly (Jul 31, 2008 7:04 pm) I have the same problem on my 07 Accord 4dr. Like yours, the rattle seems to be coming from behind the radio/cd player. As odd as it may sound, it seems more noisy right after the car is started and hits the road. Sometimes the rattling is heard even when I'm stopped at a light. So, its not always the bumpy road. I think I also hear rattling from couple of other places in the car. Its very annoying, not sure what to do. Others, please post if you experience similar problems.

Replying to: lynnjer (Jan 09, 2009 10:38 am) I too have an 06 civic EX which has had the excessive engine vibration. There is a software update that exists for this issue. I had this software update installed in Oct 07. It did improve the issue somewhat, but still not completely resolved in my opinion. A Honda tech informed me that there may be another update for this issue at some point. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: lynnjer (Jan 14, 2009 9:17 am)
#1066 of 1193 Update Number by sandman46 Jan 12, 2009 (2:21 pm)
Do you have the update number? Notice some vibration from time to time. Not to bad...but sometimes.   The Sandman Replies to this message: skeeter11 (Jan 12, 2009 5:56 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (Jan 12, 2009 2:21 pm) No update number was written on my invoice. Invoice stated "Installed new software update for idle concern." Hope this is helpful.
#1068 of 1193 Re: excessive engine vibration [skeeter11] by lynnjer Jan 14, 2009 (9:17 am)
Replying to: skeeter11 (Jan 11, 2009 8:37 am) The dealer has had my car for 3 days now. Honda Tech engineers out in CA haven't found anything, ie., bulletins or similar related issues.   The dealers techs haven't been able to find the issue, though they have acknowledged there is certainly something wrong. If they can't find it, then what? My car is just an 2006 with 75k highway miles on it. It's out of warranty. I find it hard to swallow that there isn't any consumer protection with respects to something like this. Honda acknowledges the problem, yet they can't find it. What can I do?
