2007 Honda Civic Structure

PAINT/CLEAR COAT IS DETERIORATING AND CRACKING. HONDA DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA STATE THAT SINCE THE CAR IS BEYOND THE 3 YR WARRANTY, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO (EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT). *TR

THE PRIMER/PAINT/TOP COAT BEGAN TO FAIL ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE CONTAINED TO THE HOOD AND ROOF, AND IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE QUALITY OF THE FINISHING PRODUCTS USED BY HONDA ON THIS CAR. *TR

PAINT ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC COUPE (BLACK) FADING, CHIPPING, OXIDIZING SAME AS NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND SEVERAL OTHERS. THE WEAR ON THIS PAINT IS NOT "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" FOR A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, NOR IS IT A RESULT OF INADEQUATE WAX, MAINTENANCE, ETC. THIS IS A DEFECT WHICH HONDA SHOULD FIX. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LOW QUALITY THIS VEHICLE IS REFLECTING ON HONDA PRODUCTS. *TR

CLEAR COAT/PAINT IS COMING OFF ON DRIVER'S SIDE ROOF AND DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FRAME. CAR HAS BEEN KEPT UP WITH WASHES ONLY LIKE SUGGESTED AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

DEFECTIVE PAINT ON THIS YEAR CIVIC. APPARENTLY ACCORDING TO INTERNET REPORTS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I JOINED THE CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HONDA, NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

IM SURE IM NOT THE 1ST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE MY CAR IS NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL ITS A 2DR HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE I'VE NOTICED THAT THE TOP OF MY ROOFS PAINT IS STARTING TO FADE AND IS SPREADING THAT'S NOT NORMAL. THE CLEAR CODE IS GOING AWAY LEAVING SPOTS THE SIZE OF A HAND. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

PAINT ON THE ROOF STARTED FADING AND IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. HONDA WON'T COVER THE PAINT ON THE ROOF UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE PAINT ON MY CAR IS STARTING TO FADE ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND CRACKING ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC'S PAINT STARTED WEBBING AND PEELING ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OVER A YEAR AGO. DEALER SAID NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT SUGGESTED AN AUTO BODY SHOP I COULD GO TO. THANKS BUT NO THANKS. AM NOT SPENDING OVER 1,000 DOLLARS FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN HONDA'S PAINT/PRIMER. NO MORE HONDA'S FOR ME.MY CAR WHICH I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF LOOKS HORRIBLE. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR HAS BEEN STEADILY PEELING. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY ADMITTED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS THEY DON'T COVER FOR THE DAMAGES. IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WHEN WE STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM. *TR

PAINT ON THE ROOF AND RAILS IS GETTING OXIDIZED(WITH MULTIPLE PATCHES ALL OVER THE ROOF) ON MY HONDA CIVIC COUPE 2007. I'M FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND I DO NOT EXPECT THE PAINT TO GET OXIDIZED WITH IN 5 YEARS. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX MY CAR AND THE PAINT THEY USE AND ALSO HONDA SHOULD MAKE DEALS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FIX THE PAINT OXIDIZING WITH 10 YEARS OF THE CAR PURCHASE. *JS

PAINT. I HAVE NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL, AND HOOD IS SPIDERWEBBING. SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS COLOR ON 06-07-08 CIVIC. PLEASE ADVISE. GOOGLE RETURNS TONS OF INFO ON THIS SEARCH.. EXAMPLE HTTP://WWW.HONDACARFORUM.COM/HONDA-TECHNICAL/38106-HAS-ANYONE-ELSE-HAD-PROBLEMS-2007-2006-HONDA-CIVICS-PAINT.HTML. *TR

THE TRUNKLID OF THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC DEPARTS FROM THE OPEN POSITION WHILE PARKED ON A STEEP GRADE OR WITH A GUST OF WIND. SINCE MOST OF THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUNKLID IS AFT THE VELOCITY OF ITS MOVEMENT INCREASES AS IT IS CLOSING. THE ISSUE IS PERSONS ATTEMPTING TO LOAD OR RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT MAY SUFFER HEAD INJURY AS THE LID IS MOVING TO THE CLOSED POSITION WITHOUT WARNING STRIKING THE PERSON. *TR

PAINT / CLEAR COAT FAILURE ON 2007 HONDA CIVIC IN 4 YEARS. PAINT / CLEAR COAT HAS OXIDIZED AND BEGUN CHIPPING AWAY DOWN TO BARE METAL ON ROOF, HOOD, AND AROUND DOOR AND TRUNK EDGES. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT OPEN. ONE FINE AFTERNOON, I TRIED TO MOVE THE SUN VISOR IN MY CAR, THE PLASTIC SPLIT OPEN WITH CRACK SOUND. I THOUGHT IT JUST THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, BUT WHEN I STARTED LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT, I FOUND LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ADDING A COMPLAIN TO LET YOU KNOW ITS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC. *TR

WHEN I LOADED MY STUFF INTO THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK LID DIDN'T STAY AND FELL DOWN AND HIT MY UPPER ARM. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED BRUISE ON MY ARM. I'VE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC PAINT IS DEFECTED. CROWSFEET ALLOVER THE HOOD AND FENDERS.HONDA WILL NOT COVER 100 PERCENT. *TR

MY PAINT CRACKED ON MY HOOD, ROOF AND FENDERS. I DID HAVE BIRD POOP EAT THROUGH THE PAINT ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. I KNEW HONDA WOULDN'T COVER THE BIRD POOP BUT I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE CRACKS. HONDA SERVICE SAID THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE CRACKS FROM WHO KNOWS WHAT SO I HAD TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I HAD TO HAVE ALL THOSE PLACES ON MY CAR PAINTED. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PAINT AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME. I BELIEVE HONDA'S PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR'S PAINT BE SO SOFT AND OF POOR QUALITY. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR AND BELIEVE IF THE PAINT DOESN'T HOLD UP THEN RUST WILL ENSUE AND THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THE GUY AT THE BODY SHOP SAID THAT HE HAD TO REPAINT 4 HONDA VANS THAT HAVE THE BLUE PAINT BECAUSE THE PAINT WAS DEFECTIVE. I BELIEVE THE SILVER PAINT IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE BUYING THESE CARS AND BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO LAST A LONG TIME AND THEY ARE NOT. MY 1992 HONDA ACCORD'S PAINT HELD UP SO WHY ISN'T MY 2007 CIVIC DOING THE SAME? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE SAFETY SPLASH SHIELDS THAT PROTECT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE DETACHED AND WERE DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. THE SPLASH SHIELDS WERE DESTROYED AND REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH A SECOND SHIELD AND IT WAS REPLACED AS WELL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS DUE TO STRIKING BUMPS ON THE GROUND WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM TO BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 01/14/09. *LJ UPDATED 01/15/09. *JB

I LEASED A 07 HONDA CIVIC; I AM HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO A WATER LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES WERE COVERED BY MFG WARRANTY. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE IS BEING ATTRIBUTED TO HIGH STANDING WATER AND IS NOT COVERED. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE WAS IN 08/07, 5 MONTHS AFTER I LEASED THE VEHICLE. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND AT THAT TIME, THE CARPETING AND PADDING WAS REPLACED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS IN 07/08 THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT WAS THE VEHICLE WAS IN HIGH STANDING WATER. ADDITIONAL TESTS WERE RUN AND LEAKS WERE FOUND AND REPAIRED. THE CARPETING AND THE PADDING WERE REPLACED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS IN 9/08. THE SAME REASON WAS USED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN HIGH STANDING WATER. THIS OCCURRENCE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY MFG WARRANTY. I AM WORKING WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. MY COMPLAINT IS IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HISTORICAL ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKING. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED AND REPAIRED SOME OF THE ISSUES. THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND NOW IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. I AM ON MY OWN AND HONDA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE AND MY INSURANCE RATES WILL INCREASE AS A RESULT OF THIS CLAIM. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I AM TO DO THE NEXT TIME IT RAINS HARD AND THE FLOORBOARD OF MY VEHICLE IS SOAKED AGAIN. *TR

THIN METAL GAUGE OF BODY ALLOWS FOR DINGS FROM ACORNS DROPPING FROM TREE. I'VE HAD 5 OTHER VEHICLES SINCE OWNING THIS PROPERTY AND LAST FALL MY NEW HONDA HYBRID DEVELOPED OVER 20 QUARTER SIZE DENTS ALL OVER THE ROOF/TRUNK/HOOD. NO OTHER VEHICLES HAD THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT A NEW 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID AND THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST STOPPED WORKING. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALER I FOUND OUT THAT A/C CONDENSER WAS DAMAGED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO SMALL PEBBLES ON THE ROAD AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE A/C CONDENSER. IT'S NOT ONLY ON THE CIVIC, BUT ALSO THE ACCORD AND CR-V. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE IT FIXED. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING IN FRONT OF THE CONDENSER TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING DAMAGED. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP. I HAVE ALREADY INFORMED EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM: FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND CO-WORKERS. WE WERE DECIDING TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA CAR THIS YEAR, BUT UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS FIXED WE WILL NOT BUY ANY HONDA'S OR ITS PARTNERS SUCH AS ACURA. *TR
