MY CAR WENT FROM NORMAL TEMP TO EXTREMELY OVERHEATING IN ABOUT THREE MINUTES OF IDLING. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM OFF AND ON OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, INCLUDING WHILE DRIVING, AND HAVE HAD TO ADD COOLANT ABOUT FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST FOR YEARS. THE MECHANIC COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL TODAY. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. THE ENGINE BLOCK RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED, AND SHE DEFINITELY INCLUDED THE RADIATOR SINCE FATHER'S CHERRY WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

MY CAR WILL NOT OPEN WHICH CAUSES A HUGE CONCERN BECAUSE IF I GO OUT, THEN I HAVE TO LEAVE A DOOR UNLOCKED BECAUSE IT'S NOT GUARANTEED THAT I CAN GET INTO MY CAR AGAIN AND PEOPLE COULD POTIENTIALLY THINK THAT I AM TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY OWN CAR. WHEN I DRIVE, THE LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS STARTED GETTING WORSE AFTER I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND AS I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT PULLING OUT, MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I COULD NOT MOVE IT OR ANYTHING. I DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT WITH IT DYING AND THEN RESTARTING IT. IT FINALLY WORKED AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT DYING COMPLETELY BUT NOW MY LOCKS WON'T UNLOCK UNLESS IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING.

HORN RANDOMLY GOING OFF, WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. ITS A STEADY BEEP AS IF SOMEONE IS LAYING ON THE HORN. THIS PAST SATURDAY THE HORN WAS GOING OFF FOR HOURS UNTIL I RETURNED HOME. I HAD TO GET IN THE CAR AND TAP THE STEERING WELL AND IT STOPPED. IT WENT OFF AGAIN THIS MORNING. A MECHANIC SAID THAT ITS THE AIRBAG PUSHING PRESSURE ON THE HORN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON A MONTH OR SO.

THE HORN BEEPS (LIKE THAT OF AN ALARM) AS SOON AS I START THE CAR UNTIL I TURN IT OFF. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP NEEDS MORE THAN $135.00 JUST TO OPEN THE HOOD. NOBODY ELSE WILL TOUCH IT. I HAD THE HORN DISCONNECTED AND NOW HAVE NOTHING!

PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR WHERE ATTACHED TO CLAMP ON TO HINGE MECHANISM HAS COME APART. THE LITTLE TEETH THAT ARE INSIDE ARE THIN PLASTIC AND HAVE BROKEN OFF. VISOR CAN ONLY STAY IN THE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN POSITION, AND CANNOT BE USED ON THE SIDE WINDOW BECAUSE IT BOUNCES AND IS UNSTABLE. THIS WAS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY ACCIDENT. FOR SOME REASON IT WON'T LET ME ADD THE PICTURES, BUT I CAN EMAIL THEM TO YOU IF TELL ME WHERE TO SEND THEM.

NHTSA complaint #11081174 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I BOUGHT A SET OF FOUR(4) DEXTERO DTR1 205/55/R16 TIRES IN FEBRUARY 2017. WITHIN A YEAR 3 OF THE 4 TIRES HAD ROT ON THE INSIDE WALL, WHICH WAS NOT VISIBLE, AND THE TIRE BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING IT. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I LEARNED THAT OTHER DEXTERO DTR1 MODEL TIRES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT MY TIRES HAD, BUT BECAUSE MY TIRE IS A DIFFERENT SIZE TIRE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SINCE MY TIRES HAVE THE SAME DEFECTS THAT THE OTHER TIRES DID, AND BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THIS DEFECT CAN KILL PEOPLE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD COVER THESE SAME TIRES AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD IN GOOD FAITH REPLACE THESE TIRES WITH SOME THAT WON'T PUT MY LIFE AT RISK.

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE SUN VISOR/AIRBAGS ON MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC REPLACED 3 TIMES BECAUSE SOMETHING KEEPS POPPING IN THEM. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST 3 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. THE FOURTH TIME IT POPPED, HONDA SAID THAT THEY WERE OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THEM FOR FREE. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENTS, AS THEY KEEP REPLACING THE SUN VISORS WITH THE SAME OLD CRAPPY ONES THAT BREAK WITHIN 2 YEARS. HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET HONDA TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR KNOWINGLY REPLACING THE PARTS, WITH PARTS THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE.

INCIDENT OCCURRED 11-DEC 2017 COMMUTING INTO WORK AT AROUND 6:45 AM ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. CLEAR SKIES, 42, NO TRUCKS NEARBY, MODERATE CAR TRAFFIC. SUNROOF SHATTERED. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, THE SUNROOF COVER WAS OPEN. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF BEING HIT WITH AN OBJECT. THE CRACKS ARE NOT RADIATING FROM A SINGLE POINT, BUT ARE RANDOM. GLASS IS BOWING OUTWARDS, ALTHOUGH NOT YET COMPLETELY BREACHED AS OF 8 AM. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS COMPLETELY COMPROMISED THOUGH, ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE SUNROOF COMPLETELY COLLAPSES ON ITSELF.

2 THINGS: 1) THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKE FOR NO REASON. IT NOW HANGS IN THE WAY OF MY VISION. IT DOESN'T STAY UP. IT IS A HAZARD. I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER SIT THERE BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTS THEIR VIEW. 2) THE PAINT IS DAMAGED. SERVER ALL SPOTS ARE "WORN OUT".

DEFECTIVE ENGINE MOUNT CAUSING LOUD VIBRATION WHEN STARTING CAR IN COLD TEMPERATURES. 57K MILES, NO ABNORMAL USE. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA CIVICS IN THE MID-LATE 2000S, LIKELY MANUFACTURING/DESIGN PROBLEM.

I AM HAVING AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHERE MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGINS TO REV UP AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. THIS ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY 2017. I WAS IN A FAST-FOOD DRIVE THRU WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV UP TO 3000 RPMS. I SHIFTED INTO PARK WHICH CAUSED IT TO REV AT 5000. AT THAT POINT, I SHUT OFF THE CAR. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I CONTACTED HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA. THEY SENT AN ATTORNEY OUT TO TALK TO ME AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. HONDA KEPT MY CAR MOST OF THE DAY AND TOLD ME THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY EVEN INSINUATED THAT MAYBE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL... I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 15 YEARS. I THINK I WOULD KNOW IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS PEDAL... THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE AND THAT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN I SHOULD CONTACT THEM... THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON APRIL 24TH AT LAX AIRPORT. I WAS AT THE TOLL BOTH PAYING FOR MY PARKING AFTER A TRIP. THE CAR BEGAN TO REV UP JUST LIKE BEFORE. I THROUGH THE CAR IN PARK AND IT ALMOST RED-LINED. I SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE WOMAN AT THE TOLL BOTH WITNESSES THE INCIDENT. I TOLD HER TO GET HER SUPERVISOR AND ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD COME OVER. HONDA DID NOT TAKE ME SERIOUSLY THE FIRST TIME CLEARLY! HER SUPERVISOR CAME OVER. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO HIM AND ASKED HIM TO FILM THE CAR AS I STARTED IT UP AGAIN. HE BEGAN TO FILM AND I TURNED THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS REVVING AT 4000 AND RISING FROM THE MOMENT I STARTED IT. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT IT OFF. IT DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES. THE FINAL TIME I STARTED IT, THE CAR REVVED NORMAL. I PAID MY FEE AND THE WOMAN RAISED THE GATE. AS I PULLED OUT, THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND PULLED ME INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS NEARLY T-BONED BY A TAXI. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT WAS FINE AFTER THAT. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO REINSPECT THE CAR UNLESS I WOULD PAY OUT OF POCKET. THE CAR HAS NOT DONE IT SINCE. THANK YOU.
