#936 of 985 Re: Oil Leak [sandman46] by thegraduate Jul 11, 2008 (3:29 pm)
Replying to: sandman46 (Jul 11, 2008 1:28 pm) I haven't left you hanging regarding my dad's 2007 Civic. The 2nd set of tires is starting to get REALLY ANNOYING to him and he really wants to buy more, but is still waiting to hear back from Honda about what they might do for him.   He keeps trying to tell them they sold him a car with a known problem, and that he wouldn't have bought more tires if this problem was made public. They just keep telling him he isn't understanding the difference in a recall and a TSB.   Things don't look terribly promising, but I'll keep you posted.   TheGrad Replies to this message: ttg911 (Jul 12, 2008 4:47 am) ttg911 (Jul 12, 2008 6:44 am)
#937 of 985 Dealership Today by sandman46 Jul 11, 2008 (3:42 pm)
Was there today and mentioned my tire issue also and basically got the same run a round...shame on Honda! They have sold a product with a known defect as you say and won't step up to the plate...their bad! Not a happy camper here and calling the 800 number has been futile as well. This and the mysterious oil leak of today has made me lower my opinion of Honda honestly. I wonder if the other foreign brands are still treating their customers this badly as they had in the past. Always heard that Honda was the best at customer service but now I'm having my doubts...and it doesn't feel good!   The Sandman
#938 of 985 Honda 2007 rear upper control arm by pelegrin Jul 11, 2008 (4:52 pm)
Replying to: diagrams (Jun 12, 2008 8:34 am) My 2007 Honda Civic started vibrating at 3000 miles. I finally brouhgt it in at the 22k mark. the vibration gaot considerable worse at any speed above 50 mph. Hobbs Honda replaced the rear upper control arms but took no responsibility for the damaged tires and told me to check with Goodyear. The Goodyear people were great they gave me some credit about 60% for tires with 22k on them. But they said the Honda dealer didn't do a rear alignment on the car. That cost me another $60. Honda knows they have a defective product but are making us pay and Goodyear for it! I almost lost control of the car driving it in the rain to the dealer and I believe the tires bouncing off the pavement was a big contributer. I am sure there probably been several accidents caused by Honda's neglect. Class action suit

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 11, 2008 3:29 pm) When my case was opened with Honda, it only took the person assigned to my case 3-days to talk to me and then talk to all the other parties involved (dealers) and make a decision. Honda decided to replace the rear upper control arms, do a full 4-wheel alignment, and cover my tires (have 28,000 miles on them) for 50%. I pushed them more and they agreed to cover 50% of all 4-tires.    So, just got back from the dealer and they installed 4 new tires and did the TSB for about $300. I agree tires wear, but my argument to them is they are wearing much faster than normal due to defective parts that were installed at the factory. I hope everybody pushes Honda a bit on this because I truly believe it's a safety issue as well. I am going to make a complaint to the US DOT as I think Honda should have done a recall vs. issue a TSB (or, as I saw someone else in this forum call it, a “u-call”).    The fact of the matter is, with a TSB, the end consumer never has the privilege to see it; it's for internal use only at dealers and that's wrong. Only when the consumer complains of symptoms that make the dealer suspect the TSB will they investigate. If you get a bad or busy deler, they may miss it (as in my case) and then you have to waste a lot of time chasing the issue.    That being said, here is the US TSB for everybody to read and good luck to all:    http://uabvda.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p5dVnX3NhP3b6p5e-GHOrwTZHyqlbEZlfE9HU0P66V- - - 2y_wgfg5LAEzN6QAhv1yfGQvhx-MkigYBGwW27MXgL4aQ/TSB%2008-001.pdf?download Replies to this message: ttg911 (Jul 12, 2008 6:44 am)

#942 of 985 Re: 2007 Civic Sedan Noise [dlyn] by mikpaq Jul 12, 2008 (11:39 am)
Replying to: dlyn (Jan 12, 2008 5:51 pm) I have been driving my '07 2 door civic coupe for 1 year, and have always noticed some vibration in the front end from anywhere between 55 and 70 mph. I could never pintpoint it. I realized it was strong when I was getting a strong headwind. I believe the black cowling at the front end is soft and flexible enough that it is vibrating at certain conditions, it doesn't always do it. With 30K plus miles on the stock tires I figured if it was a tire problem it would be all the time and there would be wear patterns. There aren't.   My $.02.
#943 of 985 Glove box and turn signal noises by cartagram Jul 17, 2008 (2:04 pm)
I just bought a used 2007 LX automatic and have an intermittent buzz from the glove box. It seems to be intermittent, not dependent on outside temp, how long the car has been running, or road surface. When it occurs, it's a near-constant buzz; sometimes it just buzzes when I drive over a patch of rough pavement. And sometimes it doesn't make any sound.   Closing the glove box hard, or pressing it gently closed, doesn't seem to make a difference.   I've read this forum's descriptions of problems with the front suspension components (or was it engine mounts?). But I was wondering, could I tighten something in the dash or glove box to see if that's the cure to my particular buzz?   Also, on hot days, when I have the turn signal stalk down or up for a turn, I can hear a ratcheting noise when turning the steering wheel. Is that normal?   Thanks! I love driving this car and I'd like to tweak these two problems to make the driving even more enjoyable.

Replying to: cartagram (Jul 17, 2008 2:04 pm) The ratcheting noise is normal, and should occur regardless of temperature.   See why here. Replies to this message: cartagram (Aug 04, 2008 12:07 pm)
#945 of 985 Re: Trunk gap not symmetrical [moonlily] by kelli5 Jul 21, 2008 (11:48 pm)
Replying to: moonlily (Feb 10, 2008 7:02 pm) i think this is a minor problem that is very easily corrected. i only noticed that something like that can happen after my mom wrecked her car last year, and once it came from the shop she kept complaining of the gap on 1 side of the trunk being bigger than the other side. i then started looking at MY trunk and it wasn't perfectly alligned either, it's just that if you don't specifically look for it, you don't see it... anyway, i took her car back to the body shop and they re-alligned it, no problem. if you look at other cars' hoods and trunks you will see that no car has a perfectly alligned hood or trunk. but if it bothers you, you go get that fixed. you paid for the car...
