[saadleo]

Brothers...... NO AXEL PROBLEM!!!!!

i am having 2010 M/T oriel from a few months.... not even a single issue till now......

[mubeenshahid]

the axel problems occurs after 1 or two years

[Saaduk]

A mechanic in Honda North told me that they got a couple of axle cases in the past. Not sure about the 2010 models.

Its been 3.5 years and nothing at all.

Great car, exceptional power, excellent road grip and handling but extremely uncomfortable rear seats.

I have 2 honda civics in my organization one was bought in 2007 and other one 2009. and many of my cousins and friends have civic. the new civic so far has no problem regarding axle or suspension. as this time civic's ride is more harder than softer if we compare previous versions. i think for indian market they have changed suspension more towards hard and durable. so you wont feel the luxurious ride that you used to have in all previous models. its shockers are very good. and still its the best ride of all the cars assembled in pakistan.

. i think for indian market they have changed suspension more towards hard and durable

The Civic has always had a stiff suspension. This one has a slightly stiffer one and its the same across the international models.

Some people amongst us must be disappointed upon hearing that

[topgear2010]

Yes i've tried that too. Both the wheel swapping and tyre swapping. None of them worked. Actually i remember asking honda engineer once. He said something about the differential, design flaw or something like that. Im not sure.

did you change the back tyres to front ones and front ones looses tread fastly than back ones. I just read that all cars in USA have their steering tilted just slightly on right to avoid head on collision if one sleeps while driving on highway.

brother i have civic i-vtec prosmatec 2010 the car has 12,500 kms on odo and the two problems which i m facing is that firstly there is lot of black carbon in silencer as compared to other same model cars . I got it checked from Honda 3S dealer and the technician told me that my car was getting dirty fuel although i was getting 50% of hi-octane and rest super and i m using Mobil S plus oil and change it after 2000 kms and you know Mobil S plus a superior quality lubricant. My car usually travel on motorway but still there is carbon problem but the accleration and other factors are perfectly fine . Secondly whenever my car is used for a longer period there is sound of boiling water which comes from front side . Although i have been keeping strict check on coolent level there is no decrease in it and Honda claimed this might be sound of air-conditioning gas but air conditioner is also working perfectly fine . Your help and view will be highly appreciated .

@129,

Somtimes a bad or no catalytic converter causes this. Does your car still have the cat installed?

@cylestine
sir i havent got it removed infact no other work except oil changes have done on it yet . The catalytic converter is in the car .

I am an ex-owner of a 2009 Oriel Manual. I think the gearbox was a little too rough, I agree with gears getting stuck. Its a great car other wise, and I felt the manual to be a lot more zippy than the auto. Hit 211 km/h on the motorway. Straight. Thought it was a nice car.

Were you driving on a different fuel and did you switch somewhere in the middle? The second thing which could be causing this is a faulting secondary O2 sensor. But since your car is new, I wouldn't recommend testing that yet.

What you should do is a full reset of your ecu. Unplug the battery for 20 minutes. Plug it back in, press the brake pedal 10 times fast (with the car at off). Start the car, let it idle for 5 minutes, turn it off, turn it back on. This will reset the ecu and your car will relearn its fuel map from scratch.

The only warning I can give is be careful of any antitheft code your deck may have. I think the newer oriels might be equipped with an antitheft code which would get triggered by the above method. Ask your dealership if the car has such a code before doing this first.

@cylestine
Thank you so much for your help for sure i will reset the ecu in the morning and rest i ll keep an eye for the deck . Except this problem By the Grace of Almight Allah my car is rocking and i m enjoying even a single kilometer on it . The accleration , drive , sitting position and everything else is much better than my altis cruisetronic . Even we had tested both the cars on motorway and civic had taken good lead in most things except fuel consumption . Civic was faster , more relaxing and it was more joy of drive than corolla .

Cylestine is actually an illumnati agent send by satan ... is it true that Honda is official ride of hell?

Some say he shits "H" when ticked off ....

[denman]

no problems yet, except i had problems with the dealer recently. I got the car end of may and i did around 600 kms when i left for holidays in the beginning of june. i came back in august and continued with the break in procedure. I got around 1100-1200 kms done when i decided to go to the dealer to get my "free" inspection done. I clearly read the instruction manual of the car before and on the first or second page it says "you have a right to have three inspections completely free" and then it mentions the mileage at which you should get the inspections done. 1,000km, 5,000km and 10,000km. i went to honda drive-in shara e faisal and told them i wanted my free inspection done. when the guy was seeing when the car was delivered he told me that they will not inspect it and that you should come for the 5,000km one as 1 month was passed since i first got the car BUT on the manual it mentioned nothing about time and also when he was speaking to the guy who dealed with my when i bought the car, he was covering his face while talking to him in front of me. That is RUDE and clearly shows he is hiding something from me. He was a lazy b****. this was the guy who inserts the data in the computer for check ups and all those kinds of things. so I argued with him and showed him the manual where it says noth9ng about time and he showed me the other book which is the warranty book and in that it says "or 1 month which ever comes first" but the font was very small. so after being there for an hour arguing and calling different kinds of people in order to prove me wrong they left and told me more BS. they said they will inspect the car but it will be labeled as the 5,000km check. i told them that is fine as long as get 3 FREE inspections then they got annoyed and just started saying ok as if they werent listening. This attitude really pissed me off, i also asked if i could speak to the owner of the showroom who i have talked to before but they said he is in a meeting. Just because they have printed something wrong we customers have to suffer for their mistakes. Its a FREE inspections and they are being such babies about that even. I paid about 20 lacs for the car and they are telling me non sense. besides this issue, I love my car but i do agree the quality has gone way down from the past. i have owned 4 civics in the past and honda used to be way more friendly and better before. @ farooch you should have not taken the car, i totally feel what u went through as these were same people who were telling me s***. They just want to benefit themselves and do not want to work, selfish people.

@denman,

The same thing happened with us. We took the car to Honda City Sales, Lahore and what we had to hear was "The inspections are ONLY done if MALFUNCTIONING INDICATOR lights up" , now how can you argue with that

[denman]

@ airomerix

We should make them hear ourselves, enough is enough. Does it say anywhere if malfunctioning indicator lights up then only you can get the inspection done. The answer is no and i think its time that we fight for our rights. Btw did you show them the manual that i was talking about aswell? the one where it says YOU have the right to get three inspections absolutely free. It doesnt say they have the right.
You should light up the malfunctioning indicator though by going to a mechanic who has the machine and then go to the showroom and be like now it is. lol.

There is a huge difference in the paint quality aswell. I dont think they apply enough layers of paint. I have a white civic and if you just touch the car or open the door when it touches another car(in my house that is) very lightly you can see black marks and chips in the paint.

[mani1]

I have to agree. The paint quality on civic is pathetic to say the least. It breaks my heart see swirls all over my 4,000km civic while my 12,000km Altis has not a single swirl.
