#670 of 1194 Re: Problems with 2006 Civic Coupes [terrypm1] by kathyc1 Sep 27, 2007 (11:13 am)
Replying to: terrypm1 (Sep 26, 2007 2:18 pm) Terrypm1, unless you're buying this car from a Honda dealer and it's certified, I wouldn't touch it for my daughter. Or for anyone in my family. If it's certified you can be fairly sure things have been taken care of. If not, forget it. Just my opinion after reading everything that's gone wrong with the 2006. My father always said, never buy a used car from a dealer that doesn't sell that brand.

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 23, 2007 8:22 am) My car was built the end of Oct., 2006 in Canada, but I've heard nothing about the wheel bearing recall. When I go into my account at Owner Link it says my car has no recalls on it. Can I trust this? Do they know exactly the ID numbers they're looking for?

Replying to: kathyc1 (Sep 27, 2007 11:32 am) Yes, I'd trust ownerslink. They do know exactly what range of VINs are affected (it was posted here awhile back). And, not every car within the range(s) of VINs will be affected, but may be affected, so those owners will be getting the notice to have the wheels checked.   I believe by law, they must mail (ie. postal mail) you a written notice of any safety recall if your vehicle is potentially affected.

Replying to: kathyc1 (Sep 27, 2007 11:32 am) Can you trust Owner Link? I wouldn't, it may not be totally updated. But in answer to your question: yes, they (Honda) know what serial number cars are involved. There is a list of affected SN's on a copy of the actual recall. In any case if you feel safe enough driving the car for a while Honda will send you a recall notice if your car is involved. If it were me (fortunately our car isn't involved) I wouldn't wait for " no stinkin recall notice" but would visit or call the service dept of my dealer to have them check...nobody can say which cars may have the wheel fall off or when and I'd rather it wasn't mine!!!

Replying to: targettuning (Sep 28, 2007 4:22 am) I took your advice and called the dealer. First thing they asked is did I buy the car there. I don't think that should matter. Then she said yes, my car is on the list. So I'm going in first thing Monday A.M. That scares me a bit though because it's over 50 miles away.

#675 of 1194 Owner Link by sandman46 Sep 28, 2007 (3:44 pm)
This does work eventhough others will say it doesn't. My car wasn't involved in the latest recall just as owner link said. just for my peace of mind, i called Honda and as I suspected...owner link was correct. Am very impressed so far with this site as Honda seems to be doing an excellent job of keeping it current. Of course, this is only "my personal opinion" as are all the other posts in this forum. Only you can decided what to or what not to believe. Good luck!   A Very Happy 2006 Civic Owner.........The Sandman Replies to this message: kathyc1 (Sep 28, 2007 7:51 pm) targettuning (Oct 01, 2007 5:50 am)

Replying to: sandman46 (Sep 28, 2007 3:44 pm) Well, as I said, I called my dealer and they say my car is involved. I just now checked with Owner Link and they still say it's not. I don't trust either place now. I'll have to wait until Monday after making a nervous drive to find out which is right.
#677 of 1194 Call Dealer Or 800 Number by sandman46 Sep 29, 2007 (1:39 pm)
Always best to call the dealer or the 800 number. They just confirmed to me what my owner link reported. No matter what, I'd always call the dealer or the 800 number for the extra piece of mind. As a first time Honda owner, I've been very pleased with my LX, actually happier than when I owned Toyota, Nissan, Mazda or the couple of American brands I've owned. Since I plan to keep this car till I retire, I'm very satisfied. I have counseled my 3 twentysomething kids that for their first car, they'll have to consider all the economy to mid sized cars out there, as their spending power will be limited and without help from mom & dad, they'll have to keep all their options open as to what manufacturer they purchase from. They might have to "settle" on their first car to be able to save enough to eventually buy what they really want. Luckily, there are so many great choices out there. I'm lucky that at this stage of my life, I can probably afford a much nicer car than I drive now...the wife also. We just choose to not splurge on that Lexus or Acura and stay in the under $20k range. But if I wanted to, I could go higher. It's nice to know that we can, which makes us enjoy our current rides that much more.   The Sandman Replies to this message: nealm (Sep 30, 2007 4:03 am)

Replying to: sandman46 (Sep 29, 2007 1:39 pm) Hi Sandman, Just wanted to share that I like my EX coupe also. Yes, the seat fabric is of questionable quality and I got my recall letter for rear wheel bearings yesterday, but overall the car is a fun, solid rider and as a person who has owned many Japanese and German cars, I have no regrets for purchasing my Civic. I've monitered this website for 2 years and read mostly negative comments. I'm surprised. This is my first Honda product. Neal
#679 of 1194 Overall Great Car by sandman46 Sep 30, 2007 (9:59 am)
Totally satisfied with the Civic. What new model doesn't have some problems...it's just what happens. Doesn't make it right, but new models do have glitches that have to be worked out. I'd say that the majority of owners are pleased with their cars and I think with all the negative posts on these forums, someone needs to keep posting their positive results to level the playing field. There will always be vocal people who've had problems...and I do feel bad for them. But when they basically try to take over a forum with all their negativity, I feel that I must post as often as they do to show that there are two sides to every situation. Good luck to whom ever purchases a new Civic. I think you'll love the car. Luckily there are many alternatives in the market place for this class of car. All I can tell people is to do their homework diligently and buy what's right for them. Knowledge can be a good thing. And just remember, buying a car is probably the 2nd biggest purchase decision most people make in their lives.   The Sandman (Fair & Balanced) Replies to this message: cj7375 (Sep 30, 2007 5:35 pm) targettuning (Oct 01, 2007 3:50 am) newcivicman (Oct 02, 2007 3:31 pm) kero1 (Oct 02, 2007 4:01 pm)
