LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
SINCE I BOUGHT MY HONDA CIVIC 2001 IN OCT 2000, THE DOOR POWER LOCKS WILL INTERMITTENLY GET STUCK. WE THEN ARE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND NEITHER HAVE A SOLUTION. IT'S DANGEROUS, AND SINCE HONDA SEEMS NOT TO CARE, I'M HOPING YOU CAN HELP. I EVEN HAVE RECORDS SHOWING THAT I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 1998 HONDA CIVIC EX (80,000 MILES) IS HAVING TRANMISSION TROUBLES. IT WILL REV UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT SPEED UP VERY WELL, WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO 2ND GEAR THE CAR SHAKES AND ABRUPTLY SHIFTS INTO 2ND GEAR. I HAD THE FLUID CHANGED AT THE END OF DECEMBER AND IT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT A WEEK LATER IT WAS BACK AND GETTING WORST FAST. THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD COST $3600 PLUS LABOR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK WITHOUT THE SERVICE DOWN AND SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE COME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE POSTING COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, SOME OF THEM HAVE 2002 WITH 10,000 MILES AND HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A FACTORY DEFECT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
SINCE OCT '02, I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE RECALL FOR EMISSIONS. EACH TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE FIRST TIME, THE COMPUTER WENT BAD AND WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME, THE O2 SENSOR WENT BAD AND THE CAR STALLED OUT ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IN NC WHERE CONSTRUCTION IS BEING DONE AND THERE ARE NO SHOULDERS TO PULL OFF ON. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE ENTIRE EMISSIONS SYSTEM COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY INSTEAD OF COSTING THEIR CONSUMERS TIME AND A LOT OF AGGRAVATION BY FIXING THE PROBLEMS ONE AT A TIME. THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY BE THE LAST HONDA I OWN DUE TO THIS ONE SITUATION. I'M SICK OF SPENDING TIME IN THE DEALERSHIP HAVING TO WAIT FOR THEM TO TELL ME WHAT THE CURRENT PROBLEM IS. A CAR THAT IS 6 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE EMISSIONS SYSTEM REPLACED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX IT.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
SRS LIGHT STAYED ON. DEALER STATED "BAD UNIT", COST UNIT:$495.00 LABOR:$119.25 MILEAGE:43,203 THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA, BUT THE FIRST TO GIVE ANY PROBLEMS. ALTHOUGH I COULD FIND NO RECALL ISSUED ABOUT SRS UNITS IN HONDA'S, I DID FIND 47 COMPLAINTS FILED WITH NHTSA(NOT COUNTING MINE). I DIDN'T INCLUDE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILURE TO DEPLOY AIRBAGS, AIRBAGS DEPLOYING W/O CAUSE AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYING W/O INFLATING. I FIND IT VERY DISHEARTENING THAT A COMPANY SUCH AS HONDA WOULD HIDE A OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT FROM IT'S CONSUMERS.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC THAT HAS FIRESTONE P185/65XFR690 TIRES ONIT. I HAD CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK. ALL WAS FINE. ABOUT 7 MILES INTO MY 9 MILE DRIVE TO WORK MY CAR ACTED LIKE A BIG GUST OF WIND HAD JUST HIT THE FRONT. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK OUT THE CAR. I DISCOUVERED THAT THE 2 LEFT TIRES WERE LOW. BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK THE FRONT HAD GONE FLAT. WHEN I CHANGE IT WITH THE SPARE I DISCOVERED THAT THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AT THE INNER SIDE WALL. I THEN CRAWLED UNDER MY CAR TO EXAMINE THE OTHER LOW TIRE TO FIND IT HAD SEPARATED ALSO. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE TIRE STORE TO HAVE ALL 4 REPLACE ATLEAST ONE OF THE OTHER 2 WAS ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF SEPARATION. I RETAINED THE TIRES FROM THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM AT MEY HOME IN AURORA.
