06 Civic from Hell!

[nollaig]

Hi all,

 

I’m doing the rounds of the boards because I am at my wit’s end.

 

Bought an ’06 Civic Coupe LX auto last November and have had nothing but trouble since.

 

#1 Faulty ODS sensor replaced before recall

 

#2 Torque converter vibrates between 29 and 39 mph @ 1500 rpm. They told that there is as yet no fix for this - so basically they said “live with it!”

 

#3 Oil leak. The car is currently in the shop – they have to drop the transmission to replace a plug where the engine meets the transmission.

 

This is my second Civic (my wife has an 02 Accord). Needless to say, I will not buy another Honda. I am amazed that a car manufacturer of this caliber can build, sell and SUPPORT a car that is so obviously sub-par.

 

I am writing this as a heads-up for other Civic owners and to ask if anyone else has experienced any of these problems.

 

Thanks for listening (it gets very lonely).

great! but thats your opinion and even though your car is messed up dosent mean the next new civic owner will have problems.
