| I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. IT HANDLES INCREDIBLY WELL, ACCELERATES WELL AND I'VE BEEN AVERAGING OVER 40 MILES TO THE GALLON (I DRIVE MOSTLY ON THE FREEWAY). HOWEVER AT AROUND THE 7,000 MILE MARK I TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONER TO FIND THAT IT WAS BLOWING ONLY HOT AIR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT GETTING ME AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED. A LINE USED TO CARY LUBRICANT TO THE COMPRESSOR HAD BEEN LEAKING. THE CLUTCH AND COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IN ADDITION A NEW AIR CONDITIONER COIL AND OIL LINES WERE INSTALLED. THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE JOB, WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A FRIEND OF MINE, COMMENTED THAT IT WAS AN UNUSUAL SITUATION BUT HE ISN'T CONFIDENT THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I'VE HAD SOME ISSUES ALSO WITH A 2007 HONDA CRV AND THE DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCH NEEDING REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 13,000 MILES. HONDA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEGENDARY RELIABILITY? | |

Replying to: kathyc1 (Sep 12, 2007 1:22 pm) Make / Models : Model/Build Years: HONDA / CIVIC 2006-2007 Recall Number: 07V399000 Summary: ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HOUSING USES AN O-RING SEAL TO PREVENT LEAKAGE TO OR FROM THE WHEEL BEARING. IF ASSEMBLED IMPROPERLY, THE O-RING MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE WHEEL BEARING AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BEARING, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE USE OF ROAD SALT IS PREVALENT. IF THE DRIVER CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WHEEL BEARING TO BECOME LOOSE, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL. Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE A WHEEL TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR ABS SENSORS AND WHEEL BEARINGS FOR DAMAGED PARTS AND REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER 17, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009. Notes: HONDA RECALL NO. Q56. CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION¿S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.
