Post your SERIOUS Mechanical or Technical Problem

**Tim** · 05-08-2008, 02:39 AM

Ok, there have been quite a few threads made regarding the so-called serious design flaws with Hondas and the decline of quality control and materials used in 8th Generation Civics. Here is your opportunity to share those lemon-like problems with the entire world and redress your serious grievances. If you've got a problem that merits sharing with Honda or anyone else that may be considering a new Civic as their next car, here's the place to do it. Every manufacturer makes a few lemons- even those touted for their high-quality standards.

However, don't post up any of the following:

paint issues
anecdotal arguments
minor issues
problems caused by aftermarket installations, aftermarket parts, poor judgement, ignorance, faulty driving, accidents, reckless behavior, or stupidity
undocumentable issues
personal preferences

This is not the thread to post up a tirade about any issues already addressed by TSB or other recalls, unless you've suffered serious documented (not just perceived or dramatized) damages as a result of any of those problems.

So let's hear em! Post up your horror stories.

And what damages have you sustained as a result of 3rd gear grind?

please add the occasional grind on ur list ...1st post list....and delete all the comments.....

this thread needs a fresh start.

**Tim** · 05-08-2008, 02:51 AM

This is not the thread for that. Yes, it's lame. Just like any creaks, rattles, or scuffmarks. Just like every chip, mark, or paint imperfection.

This thread is for SERIOUS issues.

I have a 2006 model LX. The issues I've had are:
-Replaced all struts
-Clutch Master Cylinder on its way out
-Tire Wear Fixed by replacing upper control arms

And we'll agree when you can document that it caused an accident, that it happens every shift, that it merited a transmission replacement, or that it led to something more serious.

Otherwise, this is not the thread to whine and complain about that. Any further anecdotal posts will be deleted.

Popping in front strut. FIXED.

that's it

This thread is lame. Why do we need a thread called post your Serious Mechanical and technical problems inside the Mechanical Problems and Technical chat forum.

Isnt that what this forum is already full of. Mechanical problems.

jokka · 05-08-2008, 09:31 AM

have an oil leak but it's very very minor.

Don't bite the newbies, wtf is wrong with you? Obviously he's trying to become active on the forum and experienced users should offer guidance; not insult.

You might think so, but the vast majority of the problems posted so far in the entire section consist of all of the non-issues listed- NOT major mechanical problems. I'm trying to consolidate all of the real problems.

I did offer guidance.....i.e told him to use the search button.

Making all threads 3rd gear related is lame.

Most of us have the problem.....but not closely close to being a lemon.

RReuphoria · 05-08-2008, 01:09 PM

Buy a saddle. It helps a lot.

No seriously though, lol, my car does the same thing. You just have to baby the clutch in an Si until she heats up. It's normal.

Teebo07si · 05-08-2008, 02:26 PM

i have a wicked bad vibration in my front end, changed tires, had it aligned, checked wheels, had it in and out of the dealership and still cant find out whats wrong.

civicsoul · 05-08-2008, 02:37 PM
