• 12/27/2014· AIR BAGSCrash

  ON JULY 12, 2014 MY HUSBAND (DRIVER) AND MYSELF (PASSENGER) WERE INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH WITH MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC. TRAVELING AT APPROX. 35 MPH WE HIT A PARKED DODGE RAM TRUCK HEAD ON. MY HUSBAND SUFFERED SIX FRACTURED RIBS. I HAD A BLACK LEFT EYE, A SEVERE CONCUSSION, A SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE (BLEED ON THE TOP OF MY BRAIN), MY TOP FRONT TEETH WERE EMBEDDED IN MY TOP LIP AND HAD A COMPLICATED VERTICAL TOP LIP LACERATION REQUIRING STITCHES. DUE TO DAMAGE OF MY TOP LIP I NO LONGER HAVE FEELING AT THE LOCATION OF THE LACERATION OR WHERE MY TEETH WERE EMBEDDED IN MY TOP LIP AND WAS TOLD I WILL NOT GET IT BACK. DUE TO THE LACERATION I HAVE A VERTICAL SCAR FROM ABOVE CENTER OF MY LIP THAT GOES TO THE INSIDE OF MY LIP. A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER OUR ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG RECALL CAME OUT. WE LOOKED AT PHOTOS OF THE INSIDE OF MY HONDA. UP UNTIL THIS TIME WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE MY HEAD/FACIAL INJURIES CAME FROM. LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. THUS IT CUT MY FACE AND CAUSED ME TO GO INTO THE DASHBOARD AFTER EXPLODING CAUSING THE SEVERE CONCUSSION AND SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE. HAD THE AIRBAG STAY INFLATED AS IT SHOULD I WOULD OF NOT SUFFERED THE HEAD/FACIAL INJURIES. SOME OF WHICH WILL NOW HAVE THE REST OF MY LIFE. ...UPDATED 01/06/15 *BF

  I HAVE A 2004 HONDA HYBRID THAT I BOUGHT NEW FROM AN ATLANTA, GA DEALERSHIP. IT HAS 106000 MILES. IT HAS HAD 1 TRANSMISSION REPLACED, MOTOR MOUNTS, CLUTCH AND THE SAME PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. IT SLIPS, SHAKES LIKE IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE EVEN THOUGH I TAKE OFF GENTLY AND SLOWLY. I WAS AT A REDLIGHT 12-24-09 WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ONTO I75 AND IT "SLIPPED" SO BADLY IT WOULDN'T EVEN GO. THE CAR BEHIND ME BARELY MISSED SLAMMING INTO ME. BEFORE THIS DAILY IT IS SLIPPING ON HILLS, REVVING UNEXPLAINABLE AND CREAKING AS IF IT IS GOING TO FALL APART. I HAVE HAD IT REGULARLY MAINTAINED AT THE CLEVELAND TN DEALERSHIP WHERE I LIVE. NOW I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT IN. IT JUST HAD THE CLUTCH AND MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED 2 WEEKS AGO!.. I AM A HOSPICE RN AND DRIVE MY CAR MANY MILES. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF THE SLIPPING, ECT. *TR

• 12/12/2010· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID THAT I PURCHASED NEW HAS AN IMA BATTERY PROBLEM THAT STARTED IN SEPTEMBER BY CAUSING A CHECK ENGINE AND IMA LIGHTS TO ACTIVATE. THE CODE SAYS THE IMA BATTERY HAS DETERIORATED AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN I PULL ONTO THE INTERSTATE I HAVE TO GIVE IT FULL THROTTLE JUST TO MERGE IN WITH TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE BATTERY CAN'T PROVIDE FULL ASSIST LIKE IT USED TO. SOMETIMES IT CAN'T GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED FAST ENOUGH AS CARS COME FLYING UP ON MY BUMPER OR THEY WHIP OUT INTO THE OTHER LANE AND FLY PAST ME. I CALLED THE HENDRICK HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY SAID IT ONLY HAS AN 8 YEAR 80000 MILE WARRANTY BUT THE HONDA INSIGHT HAS A 157000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRIDS JUST LIKE THE HONDA INSIGHT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT FOR ME AND THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

• 12/11/2006· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  I RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA PILOT. WE TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD THEM HOOK IT UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE. THE CODE "P1399" RESULTED. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE HAD TO CONTACT HONDA TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CODE MEANT BECAUSE IT WAS A GENERIC CODE THAT HONDA PUTS OUT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ASKED WHAT THE CODE MEANT, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO BRING MY VEHICLE DOWN TO THEM TO PUT IT ON THEIR MACHINE: FOR $95.00. HONDA HAS CREATED THEIR CODES SO THAT AUTO ZONE AND OTHER REASONABLY PRICED PLACES CAN NOT ASSIST HONDA OWNERS. WE ARE FORCED TO PAY THIS OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT BECAUSE ONLY HONDA CAN TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLES. I DID MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS "P1399" CODE IS QUITE COMMON, AS WELL AS THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA PILOT HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND VTM LIGHT COMING ON AROUND 30-40 THOUSAND MILES. THE ENGINE MISFIRES, AND THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS "CHUGGING". IT SEEMS THE TIMING OF THIS PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, YET HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS IT. IF YOU LOOK AT WWW.HONDA.ORG YOU WILL SEE THE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MECHANIC FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND HAVE HONDA BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FAULTY PARTS. *NM

• 12/06/2021· STRUCTURE

  On Thursday the 2nd of December 2021 at 8:50 AM, I was driving by myself on the freeway heading to work and the hood popped up and smashed my entire windshield. I was unable to see and luckily managed to pull over to the left hand side of the road without hitting anything or anyone. I could have easily been hit by another car traveling at 70-80 miles per hour. Although glass shards hit me, I did not receive any personal injury. Stauffer Towing towed the vehicle to Caliber Collision. The windshield was replaced on Friday December 3rd by Caliber Collision in Salt Lake City. Caliber Collision also inspected the hood and related components. The hood will require replacement because the hinges were so badly damaged and I had to remove the hood so that this won't happen again. The hood latch had released and I later noticed that the metal supporting the latch is also having issues. The latch has been giving problems with opening and closing properly at times.

  2004 HONDA Civic Cracked Block TSB [XXXX] Honda settled in a class-action lawsuit that covers 2008 - 2009 Civic engine block failures with unlimited miles for an extended 10-year warranty period. Covered Civics will receive an engine repair or replacement at no cost. The covered Civic engine castings were built using thinner aluminum and the cracked block will leak coolant causing the engine to overheat. Civics Covered 2006 - 2008 - ALL VINs beginning with 2HG & 1HG 2009 - Check eligibility with VIN Civic VINs beginning with 2HG & 1HG - Check eligibility * Excludes SI and Hybrid. My 2004 Civic has an identical engine crack with a 1HG VIN, and only 130k miles. The location of the crack is identical to the TSB and is not a result of the vehicle's maintenance and driver habits. I have found several cases where Honda Goodwill Assistance covered costs of repairs on vehicles past warranty. The 2004 Honda Civic has been recalled 15 times by the NHTSA with the engine problems severity rating a 10, on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the worst). [XXX] labeled the 2004 Honda Civic with a red Alert Notice of the recalls rendering the appeal of owning a 2004 Civic an unreliable purchase. As well as, 2006 - 2019 Civics due to the TBS extended warranty on known engine issues. [XXX] reviews for a 2004 Honda Civics a 1 out of 5 (1 being the worst). Honda Recall, Q5A, Y58 on 2001 Civic airbags caused death, yet the recall was not announced until 2019. Placing a 10-year extended warranty has proven to not cover all Honda’s and should be reviewed on a case by case basis to catch any cars not covered by warranty. My Civic was agreed to be looked at by Honda, and I'm to send the detailed inspection report for review by the NA Honda Headquarters. Awaiting reply 11/14/2023.
