| The owners manual for my 2007 Civic indicates that the default setting is for the doors to lock at 15 km/hr and there are 3 options for auto door lock. My doors don't lock automatically at this time and i have tried unsuccessfully to set the options as described in the manual. Has anyone encountered a similar prob and what is the solution? | |

| HI, I have a new 2007 Civic and when i pull it out of the garage, i hear this high pitched squeaking noise when i turn the wheel and/or step on the break lightly--- does any one else have this problem? | |
I was interested in getting a strut tower bar (preferably a removable one where the brace unbolts), but I haven't been able to find any in any of the searches I have done for the 07's. Anyone know a good source for these? Thanks.

Replying to: hase (Jun 13, 2007 8:59 pm) a lot of people on the 8thgencivic forum have swapped out si sway bars to their ex's and lx's and have noticed a nice difference. |

Over the years the Ohio plant has been pumping out thousands of Civics. But I've learned from several factory-trained mechanics that cars made in Ohio have many spotty quality problems. For example, my 2000 Civic is made in Ohio has several visible workmanship problems. One obvious one is the sloppy assembly job between the headlamp and the front fender/engine hood area. Does any one know where 2007 Civics are made? Are there any made in Japan? Also, I'd like to know if any part/component of Honda cars is made in China? |

I supposed you are thinking that if it was built in Japan, it would be free of such defects. As one who has travelled to and worked in factories around the world, I can assure you that it isn't. Factory workers in Japan make mistakes too. They tend to be more consistent so correcting them is often easier. but to think that a product made in Japan is somehow "better" just shows a lack of understanding of reality. And some would say bigotry, but I won't. A quality product is more the result of the design of the product than the person putting parts together. North American Civics are made in Ohio and Canada.

Replying to: kenlw (Jun 17, 2007 11:24 am) I certainly don't see any 'bigotry' in the OP. It's simply a matter of experience based on statistical data. And stuff made in Japan has earned a good reputation due to the attitude and philosophy towards quality, in addition to stricter quality checks before hitting the dealers' parking lot. I own a made-in-USA Civic myself and must agree that there are few minor quality problems. But they don't bother me a whole lot. What concerns me the most is the stuff that are made in China. I do hope Honda won't compromise its hard-earned reputation by using parts made in China.

Has anyone experienced the following potential problem. I recently bought a 2007 Civic LX and, as I think there's something wrong with the trip meter.  The trip meter (A and B) supposed to be work independently, but mine doesn't. Everytime I reset the trip meter, it keeps working at the same time.  For instance, I use trip A and I reset the trip B. And for a while when I look back at the trip B, it's not zero. Before I bring it into the dealership, I'm wondering if anyone else had this problem and what it might be? Thank you in advance.
