STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT THE 2002 HONDA CIVIC NEW IN OCTOBER. THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK AS THE CAR WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND WAS HARD TO TURN. THEN, ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE CAR SIMPLY WOULD NOT START. IT WAS PARKED ALL THREE TIMES, I WOULD GET INTO THE CAR AND IT WOULD TURN BUT NOT START. AFTER SITTING IDLE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, IT WOULD FINALLY START. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO CONSEQUENTLY IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THEN THE CAR STARTING HAVING PROBLEMS WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WERE THE BRAKES. WHEN I WOULD SLOW DOWN, THE BRAKES WOULD GRAB AND I COULD FEEL A JOLT. THE BRAKES ALSO FELT SPONGY. I TOOK THE CAR IN, AND AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I FINALLY INSISTED THE DEALERSHIP KEEP THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND DRIVE IT. AS THEY WERE DRIVING IT OUT OF THEIR GARAGE, THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED. THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER 2 TIMES. THE BRAKES STILL GRABBED, SO HARD IN FACT, THAT BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE HAD DRINKS IN OUR HANDS WHILE DRIVING AND THE DRINKS SPILLED ON US. THE DEALERSHIP DECIDED THE GRABBING WAS AN ERRATIC DOWNSHIFT OF THE TRANSMISSION. HONDA SAID AND I QUOTE: THIS IS A NORMAL PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA 2002 CIVICS. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX THE CAR SINCE IT WAS A NORMAL PROBLEM. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT A NORMAL PROBLEM IS! DURING THIS TIME, I BEGAN PURSING THE OKLAHOMA LEMON LAW. I TRIED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP BUY MY CAR BACK AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T BECAUSE IT HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS AND THEY COULDN'T SELL IT AS A CERTIFIED USED HONDA. SO, I HAVE A NEW CAR THAT WAS A LEMON FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND THE DEALERSHIP NOR HONDA WILL BUY IT BACK!!!!!!!! HONDA DID GIVE ME THEIR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR FREE. TODAY, I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE BRAKES ARE GRABBING HARDER. TONDA L. AMES, APR BARTLESVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMMUNITY RELATIONS SUPERVISOR 1100 S.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I GOT INTO A CAR ONE AFTERNOON AND HEARD A RATTLING SOUND, I TURNED OFF THE A/C TO MAKE SURE IT WASNT THE ENGINE. AS SOON AS I TURNED IT OFF, THE SOUND STOPPED. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD SOMETHING FLY OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND SUDDENLY THE AIR WAS BLOWING HOT OUT OF THE A/C. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH FROM THE A/C THAT HAD BROKEN OFF AND IT NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN REPLACING THE CLUTCH, I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE COMPRESSOR AND DRIER ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME A TOTAL OF $950.00. BEFORE I HAD TAKEN IT IN, I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WAS STILL BLOWING AIR THAN IT WASN'T THE COMPRESSOR, SO WHY WOULD IT NEED TO BE REPLACED? OF COURSE, HONDA WONT STAND BEHIND IT AND PAY FOR THE A/C UNIT BEING FIXED. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2000 AND HAVENT EVEN HAD IT 3 YEARS YET.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR 8/02 THE AC WAS BLOWING HOT AIR..THE DEALER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL..I TOLD THEM THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE-CARS DO NOT BLOW HOT AIR EVERYTIME YOU STOP, TURN A CORNER AND EXCELLERATE. I DEALT WITH IT UNTIL THIS SUMMER 7/03 AND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER WHO RECHARGED THE SYSTEM. I TOLD THEM I THOPUGHT IT WAS A LEAK IN COMPRESSOR, CRAKC IN BELT OR THERMOSTATS DIDN'T WORK. THEY JUST IGNORED AND SAID ALL WAS FINE. (1) WEEK LATER I AM ONCE AGAIN AT THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS STILL BLOWING HOT AIR. DEALER SAID THAT THE AC UNIT WAS NOT INSTALLED IN CIVICS AT FACTORY YET THEY WERE INSTALLED LATER AND ARE OBVIOUSLY CHEAPER AND THEY DON'T WORK VERY WELL. I ASKED HIM WHY THEY DON'T TELL PEOPLE THIS. HE STATED THEY DO-WHICH WE THE BUYERS KNOW THAT THEY WOULD NEVER TELL US THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE TO,SELL CARS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WILL TELL ME THIS TIME BUT IF IT IS STILL BLOWING HOT AIR ON AND OFF I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASK FOR MY MONEY BACK AND WILL TAKE AN ATTORNEY. THEY SHOULD NOT PUT IN CHEAP ITEMS AND RIP OFF PEOPLE. I LIVE IN AZ WHERE IT IS 116+ DEGREES. I DROVE THE ACCORD AND HAD NO PROBLEM AND THE DELALER STATED THEY HAD A BETTER AC IN THEM FROM FACTORY. I BELIEVE THAT I AM ENTITLED TO A UPGRADE CAR THAT WORKS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SIT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SWEAT OR TURN THE CORNER AND HAVE HOT AIR BLAST AT THEM. I WAS TOLD ALSO THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AC BUT OBVIOUSLY HAVE DONE NOTHING. I TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO COMPLAIN TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS ETC AND WAS TOLD THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA. THEY REALLY HAD NO CONCERN. PLEASE HELP!!!! THX

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SLOWED THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ONE RAINY DAY WHILE GOING THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH. I WAS TRYING TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. IT STOPPED HALFWAY OPEN OR SHUT DEPENDING ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND TOOK A PEAK WHILE HE REPAIRED IT. THE CLAMPS ATTACHED TO THE MOTORIZED TRACK, THAT HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE WHILE MOVING UP AND DOWN, HAD LOOSENED UP. THE SLACK HAD CAUSE THE CLAMP TO SHIFT POSITION DURING MOVEMENT AND THE WINDOW IN TURN SLID OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS CAUSED THE WINDOW TO JAM AGAINST THE DOOR FRAME. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT WAS ALSO DURING RAINY WEATHER.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING, SUSPENSION, TIRES, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW ON APRIL 20, 2002. SINCE THE VERY FIRST DAY SEVERAL PROBLEMS WERE DISCOVERED WHICH HONDA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE. ONE ONGOING PROBLEM IS A VIBRATION AT 55 MPH IN THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH HONDA HAS ATTRIBUTED TO A WHEEL BALANCE PROBLEM AND TIRE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED 14 TIMES BY HONDA AND FIRESTONE (TIRE MANUFACTURER) AND MERCHANT TIRE (BALANCE). HONDA TRIED TO BALANCE THE WHEELS AND AFTER SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH FAULTY TIRES (OEM). HONDA TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING FURTHER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN WITH THE TIRE MANUFACTURER DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY STILL UNDER HONDA WARRANTY. NONE OF THE BALANCING SOLVED THE PROBLEM AND HONDA TOLD ME IT MUST BE DEFECTIVE (ORIGINAL) TIRES. FIRESTONE THEM REPLACED 3 TIRES UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. THEY ATTEMPTED TO BALANCE THE WHEELS 2 MORE TIMES. I WENT BACK TO HONDA AND THEY BALANCED THE WHEELS AGAIN WITH NO SUCCESS AND THEY WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FURTHER. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS. ONE IS A PROBLEM WITH HISSING AND STATIC IN THE RADIO RECEPTION WHEN THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER IS ON (SINCE NEW). HONDA REPLACED THE RADIO AND DEFOGGER SWITCH BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS A VISIBILITY PROBLEM IN THE REAR WINDOW (SINCE NEW). A HAZY STICKY FILM DEVELOPS ON THE REAR WINDOW. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CLEAN WITH HOUSEHOLD GLASS CLEANER. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE ORIGINAL HONDA FLOOR MAT WORE RIGHT THROUGH WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. I HAD TO PURCHASE A WHOLE SET FOR ABOUT $90. THE DRIVERS SEAT UPHOLSTERY ALSO BEGAN TO WEAR PREMATURELY. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST YEAR IS A DAMP MOLDY MUSTY ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER VENTS. THE ODOR IS SOMETIMES STRONG AND WHEN I TURN ON THE AC OR HEATER IT MAKES ME COUGH AND FEEL ILL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE.

SEAT BELTS
I TOOK MY HONDA IN TO HAVE RETRACTABLE SEAT BELT SYSTEM CHECKED OUT BY HOLMES HONDA, CLIVE, IOWA. PROBLEM IS THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT FLASHING AND BUZZER GOING OFF, AND TENSIONERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY DRIVERS SEAT BELT FEELS LOOSE, DOESN?T TIGHTEN WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. I HAD MENTIONED TO SERVICE MANAGER THAT ON THE ALLDATA WEBSITE FOR THAT YEAR OF VEHICLE FRONT SEAT BELTS WAS A RECALL ISSUE, AND THAT ALSO IN MY RESEARCH I HAD FOUND THAT HONDA CORP DOES WARRANTY THEIR "SEAT BELT SYSTEM" FOR LIFE OF VEHICLE. WHEN I PICKED CAR UP, SERVICE MANAGER STATED THEY WOULD NEED LOTS OF SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS TO PINPOINT PROBLEM AND THAT IF I WANTED IT FIXED RIGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE AN EXPENSIVE FIX. I DON?T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC, AND PARTS WHEN IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA. SERVICE MANAGER DID STATE THE SEAT BELTS ARE WARRANTIED THROUGH HONDA BUT THAT ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT THAT IS PART OF SYSTEM IS NOT WARRANTIED. I STATED HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF VEHICLES THAT ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OF THE SEAT BELTS, IS PART OF THE SEAT BELT "SYSTEM". WHAT I NEED IS ADVICE ON HOW TO GET SEAT BELT SYSTEM FIXED AND WHETHER HONDA CORP SHOULD COVER ALL CHARGES. AS IT IS NOW WE DON'T FEEL SAFE IN VEHICLE AND I?M UPSET A DEALERSHIP WOULD COMPROMISE SAFETY OVER TAKING CARE OF A CUSTOMER RIGHT.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON -- DEFECTIVE THROUGHOUT. MAJOR PROBLEM IS A TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED TWICE -- ONCE BEING REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER ONLY AFTER TWO YEARS OF COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BEING UNABLE TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCES, AND AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES I PAID TO HAVE THE PROBLEM UNRESOLVED. SINCE IT WAS REPLACED IN JULY 2001, I BEGAN COMPLAINING AGAIN ABOUT PROBLEMS IN MAY OF 2002, ONLY TO GET THE SAME RUN AROUND AGAIN. COSTING ME MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR WHICH THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR DEFECT. FINALLY GOT IT FIXED AND THE WARRANTY EXTENDED FOR THE SECOND TIME, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, CHECK OUT THE VIN NUMBERS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND YOU'LL MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND VERY SIMILAR VIN NUMBERS. LATE FALL 2002 TO WINTER 2003 DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK FAILED AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT WAS FIXED THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILED. I HAD TO DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY IN THE RAIN TO GET HOME WITH A WINDOW I COULD ONLY PULL UP HALF WAY. BUT TO TOP THINGS OFF, I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR THIS MONTH. WORSE OF ALL, MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS THAT WERE APPARENTLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE ALTERNATOR BACK IN MARCH 31, 1999 SERVICE BULLETIN 98-029. HOWEVER, HONDA NEVER NOTIFIED THE VEHICLE OWNERS. THEY JUST PLAYED THE ODDS THAT THE MAJORITY WOULD FAIL OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DIME. IT AMAZES ME THAT OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOWS AUTO MANUFACTURERS TO GET AWAY WITH THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS PRACTICE. JUST BECAUSE A PART FAILURE MAY NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT DANGEROUS. IF I'M COMMUTING 100 MILES A DAY, AS I HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, AND MY CAR BROKE DOWN WHO KNOWS WHERE, I COULD VERY WELL BE IN DANGER AS A SINGLE WOMEN TRAVELING A LONE. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO COUNT ON MY VEHICLE, WHICH I HAVE GONE OUT OF MY WAY TO INSURE WAS ALWAYS PROPERLY SERVICED. I CAN NOT TRUST HONDA AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE.
