#1128 of 1194 Buzzing Noise by sandman_6472 Jun 09, 2009 (4:29 pm)
had that happen twice when starting the car within the past 3 years. Don't know why. Did have a new battery put in about 11/2 years ago. Went in for an oil change and they told me they were swapping out the battery for a new one. Said fine with me.   The Sandman
#1129 of 1194 Recommendation for moderator by ggg5 Jun 10, 2009 (1:23 pm)
Generate a forum or blog for listing TSB (Technical Service Bulletins), what they are for and perhaps allow for coments from folks that had work done based on those TSB. I am seraching now for a few TSB's that may apply to my car, as I am going to the dealer to check my Civic 07 out. As there are over 1000 entries in this forum, it will take a bit of time. I see often folks asking for a TSB that was discussed earlier...Just an idea that may prove useful. Thank you. Replies to this message: pat (Jun 10, 2009 1:52 pm)

Replying to: ggg5 (Jun 10, 2009 1:23 pm) The Search box here in this discussion should prove useful to you, and possibly even more so will be the one at the Civic discussions group level. You can also create a discussion on that subject yourself if you'd like.   There are TSBs listed in our Maintenance Schedules, Recalls and Technical Service Bulletins application on Edmunds. Generally they are just the titles, but they give you information you can use for other searches.   Hope this is helpful!
#1131 of 1194 Worried: Update by ggg5 Jun 15, 2009 (9:04 am)
Had my car for service and they checked the entire car, and conducted following repairs. (1) replaced the upper rear arms and got 2 new tires for $80, with Honda covering 75% of cost. (2) Re-balanced all 4 tires (3) Checked all suspension and brake wear and so on, all OK. They used the OEM tires, which I knew from this forum is not the best choice, but then again, this car has ~11,000 miles since purchased April 07. I do not drive this car much due to my constant travel for job. The car drives better than new, no noises, holds the road better than ever. So I am a happy camper. I was pleasantly surprised that they had the rear arm replacements in stock. Guess Honda is aware and so is my dealer. Great dealer by the way, top notch in my experience. So for now, I will just keep an eye on the car. I wil be taking a trip to east coast this week, putting easily 2000 miles on car and then, I will have my own mechanic check vehicle. I will return with an update then, as well as, I plan to have dealer and others, regularly look at my rear tires to assure problem does not return. Therefore, happy with service, happy with current performance of vehicle and keeping a close eye to make determination if this is a keeper or not. Also, thanks to the moderator for the response to my idea and to all those that take the time to contribute to this forum.

Replying to: ggg5 (Jun 08, 2009 9:21 am) Regarding the buzzing sound when starting, I sometimes accidently press 1 of the buttons on the key when turning it and get a loud buzzing and car won't start until I turn off and turn key again, may or may not be related to your problem. Have 07 EX sedan w/ 58,000 miles and no problems except for a couple of recalls that the Honda dealer took care of. Very happy w/ the car and will probably buy another one.

#1133 of 1194 My new civic AC problem by jukords Jun 18, 2009 (11:12 am)
Hi,   I think my civic has AC problem because its not cooling enough. Air coming out of the louvers are not cool until I turn the knob near full or when put in max AC.   I will not be charged if I let the dealer fix it right?   3 weeks new Honda civic lxs AT.
#1134 of 1194 Problems with 2006 Civic SI by lt_honda_owner Jun 16, 2009 (9:40 am)
I was a long time Honda fan. My experience with the 2006 SI and especially with a recent problem with idler/secondary pulley failure have turned me off to Honda. Several design problems with SI. Trunk lid does not operate correctly as the design does not take into account the heavier rear deck spoiler on the SI. The spoiler is ugly and I didn't really want it to begin with but that is another issue. Both fog light lenses broken within six months of purchase. I drive in normal suburban roads. Honda offers no lens protection on the fog lights. Navigation system is an overpriced piece of junk. I think this is true of all factory nav systems. The development lead time on a car is so long that any electronics you buy will be out of date by the time the car is delivered to market. Also, buy the time you own a car for a couple of years the electronics in something like a nav system are even more antiquated. I didn't have much choice in this matter as dealer only had nav equipped cars available. The dealers benefit from the big mark up on nav systems. Lastly, the idler/secondary pulley is failing on my 2006 SI with 65000 miles. Honda will not help me in any way. This is clearly a premature failure. I know other car manufacturers have much better warranties than Honda. I didn't used to consider this a big selling point but with Honda being unwilling to stand behind their product I will look at longer warranties as a very important issue. My next vehicle will not be a Honda product. I have had several Honda's and have convinced other family members to buy Honda. It is too bad Honda would not stand behind what used to be the best cars on the market. Have any of you had similar experience?

Replying to: lt_honda_owner (Jun 16, 2009 9:40 am) Funny, but my Si sedan is my best Honda/Acura product yet. 30mil film will keep the foglights from getting broken and K2 fogs from eBay are much cheaper when you do replace them, and not much worse, provided you keep as much of the OEM as is feasible. A State Farm Rand McNally road atlas is free, hence much cheaper than navigation and is sufficient for most people, especially if you bought the day/night rearview with compass to get a directional bearing. Shite happens and an idler pulley going out 5000 beyond powertrain warranty isn't the worst thing.   You seem to have a low threshold for complaining.

Replying to: cz75 (Jun 16, 2009 5:56 pm) Shiite doesn't just happen. Failure of a bearing prematurely was due to either poor design or poor quality control. Mechanical failures are not a mystery or magical. Thanks for the tip on the film. I may have a low threshold for complaining but I have never had premature failure in any Honda before 150K or better. This failure was actually > 30k beyond warranty. In the past I was never concerned about Honda warranty. I assumed it was very well engineered auto and that Honda being a well run company would stand behind the product. I now doubt either of those assumptions. My next vehicle might have a better warranty than the meager 3yr 36k offered by Honda. Any tips on how to make the rear deck not bang down on my head or shoulders when it is not in the full upright position. Stronger spring I can buy at home depot? Aftermarket dampening pistons?
#1137 of 1194 Re: Air Conditioning Problem [angryinbuffalo] by hondacat17 Jun 19, 2009 (12:47 pm)
Replying to: angryinbuffalo (Jun 16, 2008 3:36 pm) My BF and I both have 2007 Civics and his is the SI and mine is the Coupe and we both had a so called rock put a hole in our AC Compressors too. Lucky, we had Warranty and they did cover it for us. I can’t understand when we don’t drive gravel roads how this happens. it isn’t a fluke to happen to both cars in my book, it is a design flaw and I like to know if there is a plate/cover you can install to protect the compressor. I love Honda's and on my 8th one so far in my life time, but if this Civic was my first I wouldnt ever have a Honda!! I have had all kinds of issues with this car, but not enough to call her a Replies to this message: mark19 (Jun 19, 2009 4:27 pm)
