Honda civic 2006 sedan 4 door. Approx. 40,000 miles on the car (failure occurred as soon as odometer went pass 40,000 miles). Can't shift out of park without pressing the shift lock release button. Brake lights do not work. Contacted honda and rep there said the issue could be with the brake light switch. Rep said honda has issued a safety recall of 07v402000 (exterior lighting:brake lights:switch) so take car to dealer for inspection. Took car to dealer for servicing. Mechanic rep says the vehicle is not included in the safety recall, but in the 07v402000 specifically includes 2006 civic sedans. Main issue I have is that honda failed to notify me about this safety recall. I am the original owner and my car is registered with honda. Last time honda sent me a postcard about the safety recall 07v399000 so I got it fixed immediately, which probably saved my life since my wheel was on the verge of falling off!

Vehicle brought to repair shop for burning smell. It was found that front brakes were locked. Bleeders were opened which released the front brake application. Only the built up pressure in the caliper was released, hydraulic system was not drained, or bled. The brake fluid is full, there are no signs of fluid contamination. Now, vehicle has a hard brake pedal but absolutely no brake application. No brake fluid escapes when opening bleeders, with helper pressing brake pedal. I thought, even in the event of complete ABS failure, the basic hydraulic system would still be functioning. *tr updated 4/13/10 *cn the problem was created by an improper adjustment of the brake position switch (brake light switch). Updated 05/13/10.
I had to replace the exterior lighting:brake lights:switch which was not allowing me to shift into drive and the brakes lights were failing. 07v402000.
American honda motor co. Failed to notify me in a reasonable amount of time about a potentially dangerous defect in my car.
The current model (2006-present) honda civic has a serious safety defect. All models are equipped with daytime running lights, as well as a dashboard that is always illuminated. These two features combined at night fool drivers into thinking that their exterior lights are on, when in fact only the headlights are on, and at reduced power. I have nearly hit one of these cars because it was dark and the car did not have its lights on. The federal safety agency should require honda to modify all cars to either get rid of the daytime running lights or install an automatic light sensor to turn all exterior lights on at dusk.
2006 honda civic ex factory/honda dealer installed fog lights fog lights lens breakage (3 occurrences since august 2006 when car was purchased from honda new) the lens for the fog lights is made of non tempered glass with no protective covering. The glass breaks from road debris under normal driving conditions. The factory installed fog lights have broken 3 times from impacts of road debris. The glass was not made to withstand road debris on paved roads. We do not drive on gravel roads!
2006 honda civic engine died while driving. Customer states that the engine stalled and it was the dealers fault for when she had an oil change and they forgot to put oil in it. *kb the consumer stated there were two more incidents where the engine slowed and was very sluggish and the vehicle had to be towed back to the dealer. The consumer stated the driver's side window was not closing properly, the rear passenger door seal was coming apart, the brakes, rear door weather strip, and tail light were all replaced.
The visors on both sides continue to separate at the connection to the shaft. The failure results in the visor not returning to the headliner and results in a visual obstruction. Although honda has replaced now both the visors twice on my car, the visors fail every 6 months, especially during the summer months. The units need to be redesigned.
Purchased new honda civic ex on 5/25/06 1st failure on 7/21/2006: front and rear (tail) running lights failed with 1666 miles on the car ---- dealership replaced fuse box. Kept car for several days 2nd failure on 7/31/2006: front and rear (tail) running lights again failed ---- headlight switch replaced, car driven by dealership for almost two weeks to ensure repair successful 3rd failure on 10/22/2006: front and rear (tail) running lights again stopped working ---- honda america wanted car back to investigate/repair lights ---- declined request and instead have asked honda to repurchase the vehicle, invoking the lemon law buyback provision because unreliable/intermittent rear running lights failure can lead to death or serious bodily injury and two failed repair attempts are sufficient to invoke the buyback provision in our state. Honda sent this demand to internal honda arbitration board. It is now 11/2/2006 - 11 days after notifying them of lights failing for 3rd time.
Rear running lights failed twice in one week. Fuse box with electronic chip replaced on first visit and lights failed again after two days. Abs light also came on during first visit for rear running light problem and service dept replaced the ABS modulator and bled the brakes before returning car. Service dept baffled by electrical problem and consulted with honda engineers in los angeles who recommended replacing fuse box which is new design and has electronic chip in it,unlike earlier honda civic models. Dealer had driven approx. 30 miles and thought problem resolved. Severe safety issue as car has no rear lights visible at night.
