SRS LIGHT ON FOR YEARS. TOLD IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THEN HONDA SAYS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIR. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COST OVER $2500 SO FAR, CAR STILL ISN'T WORKING. WELL KNOWN PROBLEM BUT HONDA IS GREEDY AND WON'T PAY TO FIX THEIR UNSAFE VEHICLES. CAR OVERHEATS WHEN USING THE HEATER. DRIVER SEAT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO MOVE WHILE DRIVING. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA EVER AGAIN.

SEAT BELTS
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON WITH CODE 4-1 WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED BY TO BE THE RIGHT FRONT SEATBELT TENSIONER FAILURE. EACH TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES, HONDA COVERED THE COST UNDER ITS LIFETIME SEATBELT WARRANTY. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED, HONDA REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THE DEALER REPLACE THE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HONDA ISSUED NOTICE TO DEALERS SAYING THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HONOR HONDA'S LIFETIME SEATBELT WARRANTY. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA (N012015-04-0301347) AND HONDA REFUSED TO HONOR ITS WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE REPLACEMENT OF A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER ITS LIFETIME WARRANTY ON SEATBELTS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MANUAL TRANSMISSION HONDA CIVIC LX 2004 REACHES RATTLING/GRINDING NOISE WHEN REACHED 2000 RPM OR SO. THE NOISE IS LOUD AND DOWNSHIFTING BECOMES VERY ROUGH. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHEN NOT PRESSING ACCELERATOR. EVEN WHEN IN NEUTRAL THE CAR SOUNDS WITH A RATTLE. ONLY WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED DOES THE SOUND MINIMIZE. CAR FEELS VULNERABLE WHEN DRIVEN LIKE THIS. IT'S MAINLY DUE TO THE NOISE, AND FEELING OF THE CAR. THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING IS THE PROBLEM. MANY REPORTS WERE BLOGGED AND DIAGNOSED. THE CAR STILL RUNS. UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT CLEAR FOR HOW LONG.
