- What is wrong
- On certain vehicles, the wheel speed sensor housing uses an o-ring seal to prevent leakage to or from the wheel bearing. If assembled improperly, the o-ring may not seal properly allowing water to enter the wheel bearing and eventually cause damage to the bearing, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. If the driver continues to drive with this condition it is possible for the wheel bearing to become loose, which could cause the bearing to fail.
- Risk
- This could cause a wheel to fall off of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the rear ABS sensors and wheel bearings for damaged parts and replace them free of charge. The recall began on september 25, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

What 2007 Honda Civic owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Faulty A/C compressor locks up the drive belt causing the crankshaft pulley to stop rotating which results in the engine and all accessories (power steering, power brakes, etc.) to turn off randomly in the middle of driving. This happens after the engine is turned-on and has occurred consistently when the vehicle is driven for a few minutes and when it is at idle for a few minutes. No warnings or engine fault codes found on ecu, this mechanical failure will cause vehicle to turn off in the middle of driving, the steering wheel to lock-up, the power brakes to no longer function correctly and puts the driver and everyone around at a serious risk of injury and death.
Around 2009, january 2016 and september 2018 when driving very slowly (two of these times in a parking garage and one time when turning a tight corner with pedestrians present), I believe I suddenly braked but my car sped up. The latest occurrence resulted in property damage. I am unaware of a recall related to unintended acceleration for my car. Could this be a mechanical or design problem?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at unknown speeds, the contact heard an abnormal clicking sound when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that transmission fluid was leaking and the engine block was cracked. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and stated that the warranty had been extended; however, the contact missed the deadline. The contact was advised to replace the engine or purchase a new vehicle. The failure mileage was 163,000.
My rear lower control arms need to be be replaced with the correct ones stamped "c". Honda dealers in southern california are refusing to correct the mistake at no cost to me. Please help!
1. I see airbags warning in my car but it is not in the recall list. 2. Driver side sunvisor is not working. 3. In initial years, had to change the brakes so many times (almost every year) - no receipts are saved.
Takata recall:I see SRS warning in my car for few days and the alarm disappears after few days. This is happening again and again. After I get my car diagnosed with honda dealer, my car got airbag problem but not covered under recall. I had to change the disk brakes of this car more frequently. They do not last even for 15000 miles.
Uneven tire wear. Honda won't replace the bad control arms because I put on snow tires and they said that voids any warranty I would have, I've gone through several sets of tires now. Steering wheel shakes badly anytime I go over 50 MPH. Brakes have issues. The car is unsafe and honda won't do anything about it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the front brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The contact mentioned that the brakes were replaced once a year on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
I keep changing brakes and rotors. I have done this 2-3 times so far. The steering keeps shaking violently when you apply brakes. If you don't change the rotors, this problem will get worse, so I am forced to keep changing the rotors every other year. Over the years, I have had many honda cars. I don't believe this is a normal wear and tear condition. I believe there's a fundamental safety problem with the brakes or the rotors. Not sure what is wrong, but I believe there's a safety issue with honda civic 2007rotors and brake system that someone needs to look into it. Please look into this.
