Q: Is it true that Honda is recalling all Civics because the wheels fall off?
I thought Honda built cars to last not fall apart. That can’t be very safe. Should I stop driving Honda? Should I sell the Honda?

A: Josh: It should be safe to keep driving your Honda and to sell it would rather rash.

While Honda Canada does have a recall on certain Civics it does NOT affect ALL Civics. Your wheels are likely NOT going to fall off just because there is a recall. There are usually warning signs long before that happens like a grinding noise. Many times it could be literally years before your “wheels fall off”.

Anyone owning a Civic is advised to hang tight – Honda Canada will be sending notices in the mail out to those with VIN numbers affected by the recall. Provding that Honda has your current address you will receive a notice which you can then take to your local Honda dealership to book an appointment for the repairs. If Honda does not have your current address it is recommended you call them or your dealership and have them update it. Without a current address on file they have no way of contacting you if issues do arise.

Like I said only certain Civics with VIN number within a certain range are being recalled. It is highly unlikely that your car is in any immediate danger of having it’s wheels come off unless you have been aware of the warning signs before hand. If your car has been grinding and making noises then I would say you haven’t had it in for a maintance check recently.

Honda vehicles have a very good safety rating and as I said selling it because of this recall is rather rash. Regular maintance is important to any vehicle and if you’ve kept yours up todate then it’s unlikely that there is anything wrong. Regular maintance checks usually catch problems when they are small especially if you have been taking it to a Honda dealership for servicing.

Sorry my freind, Firestone designed the tires not Ford and that is why Firestone is out of business. I posted this as a wake up call for all americans, remember in world war one and two who made our tanks and other transports to keep us safe it was the american worker.

A: just goes to show you the japs make shit too… they just dont make a big deal out of them as they do an american car company recall.

Q: 01 Acura Cl with major transmission issues, Honda recall warranty just expired..any recourse?
After speaking to Honda Canada, I realized that there was a major recall on these transmissions but the extended warranty (7 years because of all the problems) has expired. The car is immaculate and only has 125000 km on it.

A: Ask the dealer if Acura may be willing to pay a portion of the repair as a goodwill gesture since these cars have known transmission issues. If they can’t get Acura to do it, try to please your case to the area rep for Acura. number is 800-382-2283.

If you have records of properand timely transmission service, done as recommended by the manual, that will help. If you didn’t do the service they probably aren’t going to help you.

Q: auto recalls,they all have them so whats the big deal with toyotas?
why is it that toyota has this recall and the word is freaking out,why hasnt anyone freaked out in the past,be that toyota or any other company,and dont say o one died cause they have,my brother is in the middle of a lawsuit with ford cause his gas pedal got stuck and lost a leg in the accident,what makes toyota the bad guyes when every car has recalls,ford focus had over 100 recalls,the navigator has so many recalls they stopped sending letters out to the owners and just fix as they come,im tring to understand what makes toyota recalls any different from other recalls,the honda fit catches on fire,soo why isnt anyone making a big deal on this?now even though some will say im wrong,ive had 3 toyotas (1 thats on the recall list)and yet to have any issues with it,now my ford ranger ,great truck but rusted so bad the rear diff fell off and only had 140 something kms on it

A: Years ago, AUDI (model 4000) had uncontrolled acceleration problems. It damaged their sales so badly they quit selling them for a long time. Mitsubishi was accused of ignoring problems and not issuing recall notices at all for a span of 20 years. Ford had the fuel tank problem with the Pinto,Chevrolet had the problem with side mounted fuel tanks out side of their truck frames. All in all, the more electronic gizmo’s they stick on vehicles the more problems like these will occur.
I mean really, are we so lazy that we need electronic windshield rain sensors to turn on the windshield wipers? (Cadillac)

Q: Why do they have recalls on vehicles?
Shouldn’t they have all that shit figured out BEFORE they sell it! I had a recall on my Honda cause apparently you could turn the ignition off when it was not in park. Now DODGE is recalling like 150,00 trucks cause of the passenger air bag. I don’t get it?

A: My opinion is, they obviously don’t test new vehicles rigorously enough. Most recalls are related to electrical/mechanical wear and tear. They could find these problems out if they just tested the vehicles for longer durations (more hours and more miles). The proof is in the pudding. When a particular model of vehicle has a cronically defective transmission, for example, that lasts 5-10k miles, in the case of the Kia Sedona minivan. This shows how lightly vehicles are tested before they’re put on the market.

I think it’s pretty rediculous to pay tens of thousands of dollars to get a flawed vehicle that has to be recalled because some aspect of the vehicle is deemed unsafe.

Q: Repaired a recalled Honda Accord part with my own money?
My windshield wiper motor on my 2003 Honda Accord was broken and so I took it in to my local mechanic last week to get the darn thing fixed. After doing some research AFTER the repair (yes, stupid me…), I found out that there had been a safety recall for this exact part/problem in April of 2008. I was out of the country for all of last year and so I unfortunately didn’t receive the letter from Honda. Excuses, excuses, excuses…

Am I completely out of luck in this situation to get any reimbursement from Honda for getting this part fixed on my own? Granted it was only $70 parts/labor but I sure would have liked to spend that money on something else…

Thanks for your assistance!

A: send the paper work into honda they will reimburse you

Q: Is there a recall on 1998 Honda Accord 2 doors v4?
I was driving down the street and out of no where my car started slowing down and i look at the dash board all my lights came on so i hurry up and pulled over and my car completely shut off. I put it back in park and try starting it again it wouldnt start. Then i waited 1 minute and it started. What can be wrong with it?

Is there a recall or anything?

Q: Can you tell me about all the 1983 motorcycles Honda made.?
We have bought a 83 Honda bike with v-Twin Motors. water cooled. we have been told it was a vargo or something. we also were told this type of motorcycle was recalled. Any help would be great.

A: Honda made 2 models of v twin in ‘83. The main difference is the way the engine is mounted. If the cylinders are front to back, like a Harley, then it’s a Shadow, either a 500 or 750. If the cylinders are side to side, like a Moto Guzzi, and it’s a cruiser, it’s a CX 500 or 650. If it’s a dresser, it’s a GL 500 or 650.

Q: Is the 2006 Honda Civic MP3 input being recalled?
The 2006 Honda Civic has a direct input for an MP3 player, and when I plug my iPod directly in with a cable, it seems like the sound is only coming through my front left speaker strong and very weak through my other speakers. Plus it sounds pretty crappy. Whereas a regular CD sounds great and is equally distributed through all my speakers. I know the sound quality of an MP3 player isn’t as good as CD, but that doesn’t explain how the sound is distributed through my speakers. It almost doesn’t make me want to listen to music through my iPod. My friend said he heard that Honda knows about the problem and is recalling the MP3 player input in the car to fix it. I couldn’t find anything online that mentions the recall. Does anyone else have this problem in their car? Have you found a way to resolve it? Have you heard anything about this supposed recall? Thanks in advance for your help. :-)

A: Actually I am unaware of a so called recall. However we have stopped sale on our musiclink IPOD acessory to match an update Apple is doing to their newer IPODS. Most MP3’s have a varying sound quality depending upon source you recorded downloaded from. I have been disappointed with sound quality as well.

Q: Can I trade in my 2009 Corolla towards a new Honda?
Nothing is wrong with the car at all but i’ve hated it since the first week i got it. its got very low mileage and i just wish i had gone with a honda instead. i wished that BEFORE the recall!!

my payments are 300 per month. and the car is brand new.

how would a trade in work?

A: You could, but you shouldn’t! Instead, go to Ford and get a Focus. They will give you a good deal and a rebate too! And the 2010 Focus is a real gem, far better than Civic or Corolla..no recalls, top quality, 38 mpg, and lots of power. You will love it! My new 2010 Focus is 10 times what the Corolla is, and rides better and smoother than the Civic.

Q: What’s with all these Asian made car recalls?
Wow, talk about “when it rains it pours”. I heard on the news that Nissan was the latest, then I read this. It’s more than just Nissan. It’s Nissan, Suzuki,and Daihatsu! They said that “Honda’s been very quiet” lol. Could they be next?

A: Henry Ford is not rolling over in his grave, he’s rubbing his hands together.

Q: Air bag inflator recall: should this procedure involve the SRS indicator light?
the mechanic wanted me to pay $109 for a scope before he would turn the SRS indicator light off. My SRS light stayed on after leaving the seat belt jammed in the door accidentally over night. There was an air bag inflator recall on all Honda civics. The mechanic stated turning the SRS light off wouldn’t work unless he did the scope, because he claimed that the light had nothing to do with the airbag recall… Is that true?

A: The SRS light has nothing to do with the seat belt. It is very possible that the recall is the cause of the light. Take the car in for the recall and they will tell you if there is another problem with the system. I would bet that when they do the recall, the light will be reset at no charge.

You may want to shop for a more honest mechanic

Q: Car dealership sold me a car without out checking for recalls…?
I bought a used car from a dealership a month and a half ago. Last week i noticed that the passenger air bag was malfunctioning and not activating when passengers were in the seat. The car (Hyundai) came with a 2 month, 2000 mile 100% parts and labor warranty from the Honda dealership which i bought it from. When i went back to get the airbag system looked at, Honda said i would have to go to the Hyundai dealership to get it looked at because Honda didn’t have compatible scanning tools. Turns out that there was a recall in 2005 that the previous owners never took care of. The recall dealt specifically with the recalibration of the airbag sensors in that passenger seat. Shouldn’t Honda have looked into the recalls on the vehicle before selling it to me? They gave me no notice or information at all. Somebody could have been killed without that airbag working properly.

A: Yeah I’d be a little upset too after giving them all that money.Oh well,no harm done though.Maybe drive over to the Hyundai dealer and hope they don’t try to fish you in on some dealership scam.

Q: is 0bama trying to force Toyota and Honda and Nissan to unionize their U.S. factories? Is this REALLY what?
what these bogus recalls and hyped up publicity are all about?

Union thuggery and Chicago-style extortion rackets?
Don’t forget, 0bama and the Unions OWN General Motors and Chrysler now. Toyota is a competitor of the U.S. government – currently controlled by Marxists.

A: Let them try. The people are on to their Chicago street thug real identities and their mojo is fading real fast among the independent voters that were willing to give them a chance in ‘08 election.

Q: Whats wrong with my Honda?
its a 99 Honda Accord LX with a 4 cylinder F23 Vtec engine and 121,000 miles in it. While moving it abruptly shuts off and sometimes back on. Thinking it was a fuel problem i changed the fuel cap and the fuel filter and pump. I contacted my local Honda dealer to find out if any recalls where done on my vehicle. All the recalls that existed have already been done according to the dealer (including the ignition switch). The scanner is not giving any codes. Any suggestions will help. Thanks!

A: it could be numerous of things…such as they stated the grounding wire…fuel relay…or just your ignition system (cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, or maybe the whole distrubitor….maybe even your fuel injectors being dirty…
