TIRES:SIDEWALL
I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED GOODYEAR AQUATRED3 TIRES FOR MY HONDA CIVIC, ON JANURARY 24,2004. IN THE TIME THAT THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED UNTIL THE FIRST TIRE ISSUE, I HAD ONLY PUT ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THE TIRES. ON MARCH 13, 2004 I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAYIN THE FAST LANE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT DUE TO SIDEWALL FAILURE OF THE TIRE. THIS CAUSED THE HUB CAP TO DISINIGRATE AS WELL AS BENDING THE RIM. UPON GETTING THE TIRE PLACED WITH ANOTHER GOODYEAR AQUATRED3, I MOVED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT, AND REPLACED THE BENT RIM WITH A NEW RIM AND HAD THAT TIRE AND RIM INSTALLED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR. ON MARCH 26, 2004 THE TIRE THAT WAS MOVED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT, HAD DEVELOPED A TENNIS BALL SIDE BALLON ON THE SIDE WALL, LUCKILY I HAD FELT THE CAR START TO SHAKE AND PULLED OVER BEFORE I HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT. I AM NOW HAVING ALL THE TIRES REPLACED. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A CODE OF P0740. HAD CAR CHECKED AND TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, RESET LIGHT. MIL CAME ON AGAIN AND TOOK CAR TO BROWN'S HONDA IN GLEN BURNIE. CHARGED ME ANOTHER $90 TO TELL ME THE LIGHT HAD THE SAME CODE P0740 AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY SAID NOT SURE IF IT IS FIXED. IF LIGHT COMES BACK ON BROWN'S HONDA SAID I WOULD EITHER HAVE TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER OR THE TRANSMISSION, THEY ARE NOT SURE. CAR DRIVES FINE BUT BROWN'S HONDA CAN'T TELL ME IF THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT AND SEE IF THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. ASKED BROWN'S IF THEY HAVE SEEN TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURES IN 2001 CIVICS. CHRIS RESPONDED RUDELY "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HONDA CIVICS ARE OUT THERE". I REPEATED MY QUESTIONS AND WAS TOLD "YES" SHE HAS SEEN TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURES ON THE 2001 HONDA CIVICS. *AK

INTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERIOR MAP LIGHT GETS STUCK WHEN PRESSED IN TO TURN ON AND CAN'T BE TURNED OFF. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OF BEING STUCK ON AND THEN STAYS ON AND KILLS THE CAR BATTERY. NOTIFIED ORIGINAL SALES DEALER OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT SINCE I WAS OVER 36,000 MILES WHEN I FIRST REPORTED IT. PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. REPORTED PROBLEM AGAIN TO BROWN'S HONDA IN GLEN BURNIE, MD AND GAVE THEM A TSB NUMBER ON THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $40 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX I OWN FAILED ON I95. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF SAFETY LIGHTS ETC. HE PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE NEXT DAY HONDA CARE CAME AND JUMP STARTED THE CAR, IT DID START BUT WITHIN A FEW SECONDS IT SOUNDED LIKE IT EXPLODED. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, CORAL SPRINGS HONDA, IN CORAL SPRINGS FLORIDA. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED BUT THEY NEEDED MY APPROVAL TO TAKE APART THE ENGINE, AGAIN THE STATED THERE WOULD BE NO COST TO ME. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I CALLED TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE REPAIR. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY INSPECTOR TO COME GIVE APPROVAL BEFORE THEY COULD PROCEED WITH THE WORK. I CALLED AGAIN AT THE END OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT NO ONE HAD COME BUT THAT THEY DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE COVERED. I ASKED WHY AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SLUDGE WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE OIL NOT BEING CHANGED ENOUGH. I STATED THAT IT WAS CHANGED. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE CAR HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT AND THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED OFTEN ENOUGH. I BELIEVE THE SLUDGE CLAIM IS BOGUS, I THINK IT IS A CHEAPLY MADE ENGINE THAT BEGINS TO FALL APART THE MINUTE IT STARTS. WHAT CAN I DO? *JB

SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELTS NOT LONG ENOUGH A FEW YEARS AGO HONDA SUPPLIED EXTENDER'S FOR THE SHORT NECK CUTTING BELTS THEY HAD. THEY WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE IN GETTING A BELT TO FIT. WE ARE NOT ALL AS SMALL AS THEY ARE, ALL WE WANT IS TO BE SAFELY BUCKLED IN TOO. *JB
