The federal safety agency recall number: 07v‑399 mfr campaign id: q56 campaign description: '06-'07 hcm civic rear bearing recall date: 08/30/2007 recall status: 17 character VIN required summary: 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. Safety 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.

My 2007 honda civic began having a loud sound coming from the drivers rear wheel. Upon looking on the internet I found a safety recall notice from honda - service bulletin # 07-055 for rear ABS wheel speed sensor and o-ring inspection. It stated that some sensors were not installed properly and water may enter the hub assembly damaging the wheel bearings. In areas where road salt is used, the wheel bearings may corrode, which may result in the wheel falling off. I live in an area where road salt is used. My vehicle VIN number was listed within the range of potentially effected vehicles on the recall, but I never received a recall notice. I contacted honda customer service, explained that my car has the wheel bearing issue as stated in the recall. They stated that my vehicle was not effected and only certain vehicles in the notice were effected, not all vins listed. They stated my vehicle would not be covered under the recall even if my vehicle has the defect. I took my vehicle to a service repair center which confirmed that my rear wheel bearing was bad and corroded. The car is only 3 years old and this should not have occurred. I had the exact problem as stated in the recall and feel that honda should expand the recall to include all the vehicles they have listed in the recall notice. It's obvious more vehicles are effected than they thought. If they list a range of VIN numbers than they should check all on the list, not just pick and choose which ones they think might have the problem.

I have had 2 rear end car accidents with my 2007 honda civic. In both instances the brakes have failed causing over $10,000.00 in damage. I paid the first accident with my own funds to avoid my insurance from raising. The second one was paid by my insurance as the damage was more extensive. I have taken the vehicle to 3 different dealers to see what is wrong with the brakes as they continue to fail, but they cannot determine what the problem is unless they can recreate it. One dealership put on new break pads, a new ABS motor/switch, and drained the brake fluid. I am sure the old parts were either destroyed or sent back to honda, but I do not think they are available. The problem still occurs when it is very cold and driving through puddles of water. The last occurence I had to drive into a curb to slow the car down as the brakes failed to engage. I have since learned to pull the emergency brake. The insurance company has tried to get honda to recognize the issue, but they were not successful. Honda continues to insist I am at fault even though there has been a recall for brakes. When I use the brakes during the cold weather with extreme moisture, they grind like a drill in cement or metal. The noise comes from the front right wheel. It is not the ABS brakes making as the noise is more flutering that occurs across the whole front-end and the car stops when you slam on the brakes. The last dealer service technician took me on a test drive during snowy weather, but it did not occur. Again, he told me unless they can recreate it there is nothing they can do to fix it. I've noted the approximate incident date was in january, but 2nd accident occured in february of 2008. I guess I must get killed before any dealership or honda takes me seriously as I do not know what to do any more. They seem to discount the seriousness because they cannot see any leakage when the examine the brakes so consequently it is my fault. Thank you for your attention. Help!!

Tire vibration started at 5,000 miles. Dealer rotated and balanced tires and said you are all set. Driving home on the highway noticed vibration was still present. Next visit took service for a ride and they said it sounded like bad rear wheel bearing that they did not stock. Left the car for two days and when I came pick the car up they said we changed the right front wheel bearing? I said I was told they were changing the rears? They said nope the right front was the problem. Driving at highway speed it was the same as before. Called the dealer and asked if anyone actually test drove the car after repair. Mechanic said the car was fine? Brought the car back again and took the service manager for a ride he said yes it sounds like rear wheel bearings. Left the car again for two days and when I picked up the car they said they changed the rear wheel bearings and a recall that came in for the rear ABS sensor and seals. Driving home same vibration. Also a rattle coming from the right side dash area was never fixed in four tries. I now have 34,000 miles and the tires are completely worn out and this would suggest that their is a severe suspension problems with the 2007 civic lx. Dealer has no clue. Please read all the complaints on tire wear and if you are thinking honda think again.
