Owners have filed 1,466 complaints
about the 2007 Honda Civic with NHTSA between 2007 and 2026.
The largest single group is the suspension.
Across this model's run it ranks 6 of 34 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 100
Against the median year of the Honda Civic. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 40
7.8% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 70
41% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing

Recalls on the 2007 Honda Civic
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Recall 2019323222,662 units in Canada
Airbag
Issue: On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Note: This is a new recall campaign that includes vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced under a previous recall or had a replacement airbag installed. The previous recall provided an interim (short-term) repair. Interim repair parts must be replaced with the final repair parts provided in this recall. Safety Risk: If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective Action: Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver and/or passenger-front airbag inflator. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
Recall 2017009428,641 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag inflator. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.
Recall 201434577,594 units in Canada
Steering
On certain vehicles, a fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Vehicles will receive a special extended warranty coverage of 10 years/240,000 km from first registration. Under this special coverage program, vehicles which experience this condition will have the electric power steering module replaced.
Recall 20072953,596 units in Canada
Lights And Instruments
On certain vehicles, excessive amounts of silicon grease was applied to the telescoping mechanism of the steering column during vehicle assembly. As a result, oil can separate from the grease, which can form droplets that may fall onto the brake light switch. This can cause the brake light to fail, it may not be possible to shift the transmission from the Park position and/or the stop lamps may fail to illuminate, leading to a failure to alert a following vehicle of the driver's intent to stop, potentially resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake light switch and connector housing, and install a cover to prevent oil from damaging the switch.
Recall 2007282107,653 units in Canada
Other
On certain Civic, CSX and CSX Type S vehicles, an ABS wheel speed sensor O-ring seal may allow water to enter the rear wheel bearing and eventually cause damage to the bearing, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. In time, the wheel bearing could become loose, which could cause the bearing to overheat. This could cause a wheel to separate from the vehicle, potentially resulting in a vehicle crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace ABS sensor O-ring seals and rear wheel bearings.
Recall 20072541,387 units in Canada
Label
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 120. The Tire and Loading Information Label was printed with incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) data. The information printed on the affected labels is that for the Civic LX model, which weighs less than the Civic EX model. The incorrect labels indicate a GVWR of 1665 kg, front GAWR of 880 kg and rear GAWR of 785 kg. The labels should instead indicate a GVWR of 1695 kg, front GAWR of 895 kg and rear GAWR of 800 kg. Since this does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.

My engine block has cracked. I own an 07 Honda Civic. It overheated on the road and the only way to get it home was drive 15-20 mph even on highways. Honda knows there was a manufacturing defect from 06-2010 and all they did was extend the warranty from ten years of date of purchase. Meaning all of us who bought ours from another owner aren’t covered anymore. This keeps happening time and time again with countless Honda owners. It’s time something is done about this.

On my 2007 Honda Civic SI sedan, the clutch pedal assembly bracket that mounts it to the firewall broke. This effectively disables the vehicle Wherever You Are. You are unable to shift into any gear to safely get off the road or anything of the sort. The clutch pedal assembly bracket cracked on the left side and made the clutch pedal useless. I had to turn off the car when I stopped in the middle of the road in order to put it into first gear without the clutch and then start the car with first gear engaged in order for it to start and have the ability to drive it off the road. Thank God traffic was light to nonexistent. When I searched forums online I found out that this is a pretty common issue with any 8th gen Civic with the manual transmission.

About a month ago, I brought my vehicle to a Honda-specialized shop, which has been servicing Hondas exclusively for over 30 years, due to a power steering issue. During the inspection, they informed me that my car is covered under a service bulletin (1048 or 10 048) related to a potential defect in the engine block. The shop mentioned that vehicles with a VIN starting with “1HG” may be eligible for an extended warranty or recall for this issue. I was completely unaware of this situation, as my car has never overheated, and I had no prior indication of any engine-related problems. Following this information, I took the car to a Honda dealership for a diagnostic assessment. The dealership recommended an engine replacement, which would be a costly repair. This recommendation seems perplexing, given that I have consistently taken proper care of the vehicle over the years, and there have been no significant overheating or other apparent engine issues. It appears that there may be a larger issue at play, possibly related to a manufacturing defect, which could be part of a class-action settlement. Based on what I’ve learned, the engine block defect could be due to faulty manufacturing, explaining why the engine block is cracking without any major overheating. I’m concerned that this issue may require significant repairs, but I’m uncertain how to proceed, especially considering the financial burden, as Christmas is approaching and I am not in a position to cover such a large expense. I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to move forward with this situation, as I am currently unsure of the next steps.

Boise, ID

Cracked engine block to the front, lower passenger sideof the engine block behind of the catalytic converter. Issue unknowingly began when commuting on the freeway until car was left parked for an hour. Coolant had puddled under the car in that time and upon inspection noted dried blue coolant sprayed all across the under side of the car originating from the cracked area indicating I was still driving when the leak started without any warnings. Given how much coolant leaked over that hour, this could cause rapid engine overheat while driving if the leak remains unknown. After some research, Honda knew about this manufacturing defect for a number of years and issued an extended warranty but those have all since expired, while engines are continuing to crack and fail.

UNKNOWN. This has been an ongoing problem for years. I finally retired and had enough time to trace it down Water was getting on the floor of my car on passenger side after substantial rainfall. Extended shoulder harness webbing as far as it would go and found webbing soaking wet from water on last 2 feet of webbing that could be exposed and assume webbing still wet hidden within sidewall panel. (Nobody used the shoulder harness on passenger side of car) Taped off sunroof and doors on that side and found when using a water hose, water was getting into the passenger shoulder harness area and also dripping out of shoulder harness sidewall height adjuster. Removed the roof moulding trim strip on right side of roof, inspected, found no body seam sealant had been applied at the factory in the area where roof and side panel of car was spot welded when manufactured. Welds are still ok but an exposed gap was missing body seam-sealant along the area starting about 18 inches aft of windshield. I purchased seam sealant at body shop and applied seam sealant myself. Rechecked for leakage after sealant cure. Was ok. Re-installed roof moulding trim strip. Not sure if any water damage has occurred to shoulder harness mechanism. No apparent binding of mechanism at this time.

Honda put out a warranty extension of ten years for certain Civic models for a known casting issue that led to a cracked engine block. Rather than issuing a recall, they settled some law suits and did a warranty extension. I recently purchased a 2007 Civic from a relative who was unaware of the warranty extension. The car is five years passed the warranty expiration and Honda will do nothing to assist with this very well known issue! I find it completely unfair and unprofessional of Honda to offer no assistance for an issue they admitted full fault to! I now have a cracked engine block and no help from the once reliable auto dealer. I would be more understanding if this wasn't an issue that causes catastrophic failure, but this is unacceptable. I firmly believe that Honda should issue a recall for the known issues and resolve them in a responsible manner.

Both sun visors (driver and passenger) fail to stay in their position, resulting in them rotating down, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD; OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY THRU FRONT WINDSHIELD. Additionally because the visors don't stay in their position, they hang down creating AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD to any unsuspecting occupant getting into or out of the vehicle because you STRIKE YOUR HEAD ON THE MISPOSITIONED VISORS. The driver side visor on our vehicle has been replaced twice (10-21-2010, mileage 21188 and 7-3-2012, mileage 27839 under TSB). It is well over due needing to be replaced a third time. It appears only after a class action lawsuit Cooper v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., did Honda issue TSB 11-031 to replace driver side (ds) visors. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONSEQUENCE, OBSTRUCTED VISIBILITY AND IMMEDIATE STRIKING HAZARDS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. I have contacted, 8-1-2022, Honda's Customer Service and reported this reoccurring issue to them and they said they have no obligation to address the visor issue due to the age and mileage limitations established in THEIR service bulletin. Our vehicle has only 97591 miles on it. Well below the mileage limit. What gives them the right to establish the duration of liability for their defective product? SAFETY SHOULD BE THEIR NUMBER ONE CONCERN. Please give me some guidance as to how to proceed to address this immediate safety issue with my vehicle. This inherent problem revealed itself 4 years after purchase. Honda has NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. Please send me a response you received this submission. Thank you. PS How do I attach a video of visors rotating unassisted?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Both sun visors (driver and passenger) fail to stay in their position, resulting in them rotating down, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD; OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY THRU FRONT WINDSHIELD. Additionally because the visors don't stay in their position, they hang down creating AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD to any unsuspecting occupant getting into or out of the vehicle because you STRIKE YOUR HEAD ON THE MISPOSITIONED VISORS.
