2009 Honda Civic Equipment Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE SUMMER TIRES WITH WINTER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE JACK FAILED. THE CONTACT'S ARM BECAME TRAPPED BETWEEN THE WHEEL WELL, THE BRAKE ROTOR, AND THE WHEEL ITSELF. THE CONTACT'S FATHER, WHO WAS ALSO IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME, WAS ABLE TO LIFT THE VEHICLE ENOUGH FOR HIM TO REMOVE HIS ARM. THE CONTACT MADE A SECOND ATTEMPT TO JACK UP THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGES TO THE FRONT END, THE SUSPENSION, AND THE BRAKE ROTORS. AAA WAS CONTACTED AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY LIFT THE VEHICLE AND REPLACE THE WHEELS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO BOTH ARMS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE RESULTS FROM THE X-RAY WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. PETERS HONDA OF NASHUA (300 AMHERST ST, NASHUA, NH 03063, (603) 718-3781) WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED NOT TO ATTEMPT TO USE THE SUPPLIED JACK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE JACK WAS ORIGINAL MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2009 HONDA CIVIC IN MAY OF 2009, AT THE SAME TIME I PURCHASED HONDA FLOOR MATS FOR MY CAR. THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT HAS TWO RETENTION HOLES IN IT AND IS RETAINED BY TWO PLASTIC HOOKS THAT ARE MOUNTED ON THE FLOOR. THE HOLES IN THE MAT DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR HAVE RIPPED AND NOW THE MAT SLIDES UNDER THE GAS PEDAL OF MY CAR, WHICH CAUSES ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 ABOUT THIS SAFETY CONCERN (CONFIRMATION NUMBER:N012014-05-2901759). THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY 3YR/36000 MILES AND THEY COULD NOT OFFER A RESOLUTION TO REPLACE THE MAT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA FLOOR MAT PROBLEM FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONER ON MY BRAND NEW 2009 HONDA CIVIC STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I GOT IT SERVICED, THEY SAID IT WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY WHEN IT SHOULD BE. *TR
