So far - lovin it.
M
- minus the attitude. my apologies.
about the outlet - i have a cb radio and an LG cell phone charger(i believe some of the issue there involved an LG charger) plugged into mine - no problems. Maybe it has something to do with my 1-into-2 plug splitter. which came from radio shack - and for what its worth splits into two wires (as opposed to a solid housing with two plug. receptors) so that it doesn't take so much space.
again about the a/c - i just drove 500 miles in these 90+ degree days and my a/c works just like i said. i did pay attention to the hard acceleration, and no problem. i would complain to Honda or take it to another dealer.
as for that scratch/dent - make sure that if it is a scratch, that it doesn't go down to the metal - it will rust. i have four kids - i know about scratches.
See ya there!
They fixed the toe and camber and still the cars pulls to the right.
3000 miles later, with the pulling to the right, I have not found any unusual tire wear as of yet on either of the front tires. That is the interesting part of the whole thing.
I have a person on another forum who has gone through 3 mount replacements and the problem persists.
I called the Honda Care Line and they will have a regional manager contact me to go over the issues with my car to see if they can hopefully advise my dealership how to fix some of the problems in my car.
I don't want to re-hash all the issues so I will leave it at that.
Still love the car though.
I am now on my second '06 Civic EX. My first one was replaced by Honda because it had so many problems and one that couldn't be fixed (engine tapping noise). The first car had the "glovebox area" noise but it never got fixed since it was going to be replaced. My second car now has the same noise after 1000 miles.
Some of the other issues I had with the first one, including the 1500 rpm noise, are not apparent on the second one.
1 - bad motor mount
2 - poorly placed passenger air bag
3 - no one still knows what the problem is
I'm still hopefully waiting for news from my dealer and i hope it's something good...
I just bought my new Civic EX coupe, and only have 1020 miles on it, but there were some scratches on the rear bumper. The scratches were deep enough that you could see the black paint. Do anyone know if the dealership is willing to fix it. Is that cover under my 3 year warranty?
Thank you very much
I highly doubt Honda would do anything about this.
Drexelnet, let me know what happens when you contact your dealership. Am very curious!

The problems with my car, which all have been mentioned in my previous posts and much of everyone elses, still persist and now my front two tires are feathering and cupping as well.
I finally broke down and called the Honda Car line and reported every problem with my car and told them that the dealer failed to fix any of them and that I find it unacceptable to have some many problems with a new car, redesign or not.
I await to be contacted by a regional manager to go through problems with me and to see what they can do to get some or all corrected.
I do love my car but have considered trading. On my other board/forum. 3 people have traded all ready as they are tired of going back to dealerships and getting now answers and or fixes for their problems.
I myself totally knew I was getting a first year redesign and I expected some issues but not the amount I am having.
Dealerships here on LI, NY, don't know how to fix anything and they always say everything is the way it should be. Does that not make you laugh. To boot everytime I go in my car comes out with nice grease marks on the seats and arm rests on the drivers door.
If honda does not soon issue recalls for these problems, it would seem they are hiding these problems from the public not to hurt sales of a new vehicle that got car of the year.
We all might want to consider making some kind of online petition or somethere where honda can really see just how many people are having problems.
I have Honda Civic 2006, My card city mileage is very poor i am getting around 21 to 22 MPG. Please share your Civic 2006 MPG in the City.
I bought a new Civic 2006 model in March 2006. With in 5 months i have to visit delear twice as i was hearing a noise (Noise that comes when you open old door. Finally honda delear says that there was power streeing leakage problem and they replaced it. Now again i am getting the problem after one month. Does any have had this problem? Please share. really upset after paying 19k for this low quality Honda Civic 2006 car.
My dealer also replaced my 06 Civic LX. My new one also have the same noise as yours, the wind noise after 50 mph and a bad rear shock..I'm willing to trade in the car for a Mazda3, VW Jetta or Corolla. I had enough of this guys always telling me that they can duplicate the problems.
I hope everyone who has this problem will get their dealer to report it to Honda. My mechanic said that with new model designs it sometimes takes the manufacturer a while to figure out how to fix these problems. But first they have to know we're having these problems!
I too hear the wind noise from driver side at speed above and around 50 mph, the dealer seems to have fixed the form but still i hear the sound. were your dealer able to fix the wind noise?
Thanks

i too had same issue on my new 2006 Honda Civic EX, i too noticed the AC problem and went to dealer many times and also talked with Honda USA folks, but they all do not agree and said that it is normal, the theory is that in order to save fuel the computer shutoff the AC at low RPM.
I too hear the wind noise from driver side at speed above and around 50 mph, the dealer seems to have fixed the form but still i hear the sound. were your dealer able to fix the wind noise completely?
Thanks

I guess we need to protest in form of some online petition, do you know the procedure?
I am sure there are many folks who would like to join us
I took it to my dealership, and they were willing to paint over it for free. It looks pretty good so I can't complain. But, they also mention that there was a small leak in my power steering pump. Does anyone know what that is and is it a serious problem that I should be concern about. And after I got back my car, I heard some noise coming from the glove box area and my passenger side window rattle even in low speed. I know not what they did to my car. Does anyone have this problem with the noises.
From my 2002 Honda Civic Owner's manual (and my 2007 Honda Fit's manual states the same):
If your car has an automatic transmission, set the parking brake before you put the transmission in Park. This keeps the car from moving and putting pressure on the parking mechanism in the transmission making it easier to move the shift lever out of Park when you want to drive away.
Give your 2006 Civic Owner's manual a peek, and see if it says anything different.
