2007 Honda Civic hybrid problems
The Honda Civic (Japanese: ホンダ・シビック, Hepburn: Honda Shibikku) is a series of automobiles manufactured by Honda since 1972. As of 2023, the Civic is positioned between the Honda Fit/City and Honda Accord in Honda's global car line-up.
The first-generation Civic was introduced in July 1972 as a two-door fastback sedan, followed by a three-door hatchback that September. With a 1,169 cc transverse engine and front-wheel drive like the British Mini, the car provided good interior space despite overall small dimensions. Initially gaining a reputation for being fuel-efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly, later iterations have become known for performance and sportiness, especially the Civic Type R, Civic VTi, Civic GTi and Civic SiR/Si.
The Civic has been repeatedly rebadged for international markets, and served as the basis for the Honda CR-X, the Honda CR-X del Sol, the Concerto, the first generation Prelude, the Civic Shuttle (later to become the Orthia) and the CR-V (which, by extension, was used as the basis for the Honda FR-V).
The Civic is one of the all-time best-selling automobiles in the world, with over 27 million units sold since 1972 as of 2021.

Common 2007 Honda Civic hybrid problems
The 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. One of the most prevalent issues is related to the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system, which is the hybrid system of the vehicle. The IMA system is responsible for providing power to the vehicle and charging the 12-volt battery. When the IMA system fails, it can cause a slow start, loss of communication with the IPU, and high temperature sensor readings. The IPU, or Intelligent Power Unit, is the main control module for the IMA system, and if communication is lost with it, the vehicle may not run properly.
Another common problem with the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid is related to the charging system. The charging system is responsible for charging the 12-volt battery, and if it fails, the battery may not have enough power to start the vehicle. This can cause intermittent starting problems, where the vehicle may start sometimes but not others. In some cases, the charging system may not be able to charge the battery at all, which can cause the vehicle to become completely inoperable.
The 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid has also been reported to have problems with the automatic transmission control module (TCM). The TCM is responsible for controlling the automatic transmission, and if it fails, the transmission may not shift properly. This can cause the vehicle to stall or have reduced power. In some cases, the TCM may not communicate with the rest of the vehicle, which can cause the check engine light to illuminate.
In addition to these problems, the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid has also been reported to have problems with the airbag system. The airbag system is responsible for deploying the airbags in the event of a collision, and if it fails, the airbags may not deploy properly. This can increase the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
Finally, the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid has been reported to have problems with the fuel system. The fuel system is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine, and if it fails, the engine may not run properly. This can cause the vehicle to have reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
In conclusion, the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid has several common problems that can affect its performance and reliability. These problems include issues with the IMA system, charging system, automatic transmission control module, airbag system, and fuel system. If you own a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid, it is important to be aware of these potential issues and to have them addressed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to ensure the safety and reliability of your vehicle.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-14
- VIN: 2HGFG11837H
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Cracked engine block to the front, lower passenger sideof the engine block behind of the catalytic converter. Issue unknowingly began when commuting on the freeway until car was left parked for an hour. Coolant had puddled under the car in that time and upon inspection noted dried blue coolant sprayed all across the under side of the car originating from the cracked area indicating I was still driving when the leak started without any warnings. Given how much coolant leaked over that hour, this could cause rapid engine overheat while driving if the leak remains unknown. After some research, Honda knew about this manufacturing defect for a number of years and issued an extended warranty but those have all since expired, while engines are continuing to crack and fail.

SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2016-01-01
- VIN: 1HGFA16857L
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: UNKNOWN. This has been an ongoing problem for years. I finally retired and had enough time to trace it down Water was getting on the floor of my car on passenger side after substantial rainfall. Extended shoulder harness webbing as far as it would go and found webbing soaking wet from water on last 2 feet of webbing that could be exposed and assume webbing still wet hidden within sidewall panel. (Nobody used the shoulder harness on passenger side of car) Taped off sunroof and doors on that side and found when using a water hose, water was getting into the passenger shoulder harness area and also dripping out of shoulder harness sidewall height adjuster. Removed the roof moulding trim strip on right side of roof, inspected, found no body seam sealant had been applied at the factory in the area where roof and side panel of car was spot welded when manufactured. Welds are still ok but an exposed gap was missing body seam-sealant along the area starting about 18 inches aft of windshield. I purchased seam sealant at body shop and applied seam sealant myself. Rechecked for leakage after sealant cure. Was ok. Re-installed roof moulding trim strip. Not sure if any water damage has occurred to shoulder harness mechanism. No apparent binding of mechanism at this time.

2022-12-19
ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-12-17
- VIN: 2HGFG12647H
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Honda put out a warranty extension of ten years for certain Civic models for a known casting issue that led to a cracked engine block. Rather than issuing a recall, they settled some law suits and did a warranty extension. I recently purchased a 2007 Civic from a relative who was unaware of the warranty extension. The car is five years passed the warranty expiration and Honda will do nothing to assist with this very well known issue! I find it completely unfair and unprofessional of Honda to offer no assistance for an issue they admitted full fault to! I now have a cracked engine block and no help from the once reliable auto dealer. I would be more understanding if this wasn't an issue that causes catastrophic failure, but this is unacceptable. I firmly believe that Honda should issue a recall for the known issues and resolve them in a responsible manner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-11-23
- VIN: 1HGFA16897L
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: Both sun visors (driver and passenger) fail to stay in their position, resulting in them rotating down, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD; OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY THRU FRONT WINDSHIELD. Additionally because the visors don't stay in their position, they hang down creating AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD to any unsuspecting occupant getting into or out of the vehicle because you STRIKE YOUR HEAD ON THE MISPOSITIONED VISORS. The driver side visor on our vehicle has been replaced twice (10-21-2010, mileage 21188 and 7-3-2012, mileage 27839 under TSB). It is well over due needing to be replaced a third time. It appears only after a class action lawsuit Cooper v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., did Honda issue TSB 11-031 to replace driver side (ds) visors. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONSEQUENCE, OBSTRUCTED VISIBILITY AND IMMEDIATE STRIKING HAZARDS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. I have contacted, 8-1-2022, Honda's Customer Service and reported this reoccurring issue to them and they said they have no obligation to address the visor issue due to the age and mileage limitations established in THEIR service bulletin. Our vehicle has only 97591 miles on it. Well below the mileage limit. What gives them the right to establish the duration of liability for their defective product? SAFETY SHOULD BE THEIR NUMBER ONE CONCERN. Please give me some guidance as to how to proceed to address this immediate safety issue with my vehicle. This inherent problem revealed itself 4 years after purchase. Honda has NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. Please send me a response you received this submission. Thank you. PS How do I attach a video of visors rotating unassisted?

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-03-01
- VIN: 1HGFA16837L
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: I purchased this Honda Civic In February 2022. I immediately had to have a O2 Sensor replaced. A few days later the car starting running hot and all the antifreeze leaked out. I replaced the antifreeze and had several mechanics look at it. Now the Honda dealer tells me the Engine block is cracked. I know Honda settled a class action lawsuit for this exact reason (engine block cracked) in Honda Civics 2006-2009. Now I can't use my car.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-12-19
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 1HGFA16827L
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: My engine block has cracked. I own an 07 Honda Civic. It overheated on the road and the only way to get it home was drive 15-20 mph even on highways. Honda knows there was a manufacturing defect from 06-2010 and all they did was extend the warranty from ten years of date of purchase. Meaning all of us who bought ours from another owner aren’t covered anymore. This keeps happening time and time again with countless Honda owners. It’s time something is done about this.
2022-01-09
POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-11-04
- VIN: 1HGFA16857L
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: My Civic was diagnosed with a cracked engine block, an issue known by Honda to be problematic, as they issued an extended warranty on the engines that ended in 2018. However, the extension has expired despite the fact that many Honda owners continue to experience this problem (see https://www.8thcivic.com/threads/documenting-cracked-engine-block-for-those-out-of-the-warranty-coverage.609546/page-7). This issue should be considered more serious than just an extended warranty, as an engine leaking coolant could easily overheat and cause serious problems on a road trip, especially in the part of the country I live in (Montana), where summers are hot and dry and wildfires are easily ignited. The Carfax report for the vehicle I own--which I purchased used in September 2021--suggested that this would be the perfect vehicle to buy, with a regular maintenance history and lower-than-usual mileage. No indication at all of an extended warranty or potential issues that I should be aware of. Fortunately a friend discovered the issue when he noticed coolant leaking when he changed a tire for me rather than me discovering it while driving to Colorado or Michigan to visit family, when the engine may have indeed leaked enough coolant without me noticing to cause serious problems. I am attaching the report from the mechanic who diagnosed the issue, which I sent to Honda to open a case for assistance with a repair (which they declined, citing the expiration of the extended warranty).
