kero1,
 
I know the car wasn't in an accident or damaged or anything. After the 1st week or two of ownership I noticed the door alignment problem so I went back to the dealer to have them look at it. While I was there I looked at the other Civics on the lot and all the ones assembled in Canada exhibited the same door misalignment problems. I just wish the dealer could figure out how to fix it. My Civic was also assembled in Canada.

Tell them you want it fix. There is a way to fix it. The dealership I went too remove the door hinge and front side panel to fit it. They finish it by 4:00pm. You have to demand it. My passenger side door was misalign. I was serious, so they fix it for me.
 
Mine vehicle was made in Ohio, U.S. I only have minor problem w/it. I notice allots Canadian make model have serious problems.

doan4u,
 
What did your dealer do to correct the door misalignment problem? My dealer has their heads stuck up their asses and doesn't know what to do.

Oopp! I just corrected my message. You fast!!! They remove the door,the door hinge and the side panel to adjust my door. It look nice after I pick it up. Asked them if there a free lender car program at the dealership.
 
P.S. There allots of dealership around town. I would called everyone that close to me and compare note. The Civic 06 model is very new. Some mechanic are below average when it come to fixing our new car.

Oh, no I don't have any misaligned doors or panels as far as I know...just getting in the "last word" and I couldn't resist, in another series of posts..a battle if you will..between that poster and me concerning Hyundai verses Honda, quality wise and that is quite a list!!

Transmission shake on incline by greeniemoo

I just bought my 2006 Civic LX auto yesterday. I just notice this. I park on an incline and when I go to shift from Park to Drive, the car gives a hard shake before and the Engine dips in RPM. Does anyone else have this problem or is this normal???

Sorry about the trouble so very soon.
Are you pointing downhill, uphill, or is the incline to the left or right? Do you have to park on incline? The incline may cause fluids to flow in the opposite direction from where they should be going. Then the engine struggles to perform correctly.

It had a very slight leak. I thought they would have replaced a faulty fitting. But they replaced the pump and fitting. Dealership was great!

I was at a Hyundai dealer a few months back to quote there service dept. new heaters for the bays. I was amazed at the amount of cars with the engines and trannys out. The service manager saw how awww struck I was with the carnage. He offered a jest about how he hoped my products where better than his. He went on to tell me about the awful troubles they where having with casting quality in trannys, cam covers and blocks.
 
Funny how he owned a new Accord and not a Sonata.
 
Heck the sales manager for the local Chevy dealer owns nothing but Hondas. Been with the dealer for 20 years. Has made a good living selling GM's. But wont own one. LMAO.
 
Yes my Civic has had some problems. Some could be seen as major. Others just bugs. None the less they have all been taken care of in short order. And all at once. My dealer is not only honest and forth right in the showroom, but a class act in the service dept.
 
To buy a car. Even a Honda, and think that its not going to have problems being a first years production of a new gen is really quite foolish in thought and action. I took the gamble and have been rewarded with the issues. My dealer and Honfa have taken care of my concerns.
 
I plan on putting 300k miles on my car. Its almost as comphy as our Accord, gets great fuel economy, roomy, stylish and runs like crazy. It will run with a 7th gen Si hatch (ep3) no problem. The r18 is way under rated.
 
I think the biggist problem with the car is the dealers. They have been selling them at MSRP or above. Folks get burnt in the showroom,, partly of there own making. Then expect said dealer to have a good service dept. When they know the sales floor is a den a theives. Then expect better of the service dept. I'll take my little small town dealer over the ones in Tulsa or OKC anyday.
 
I hope folks can get there issues worked out.
 
Mine have been.

I cannot confirm Hyundai dealers have lots of cars around with engines or transmissions out..none of mine were ever in for repair so I didn't spend much time there. And I suppose there are Hyundai drivers who abuse the machinery same as any make..they end up with major repairs. I am happy you had your repairs addressed promptly but my point wasn't that your service department is first class but that you had to use it that soon.
