2001 Honda Civic Complaint Log

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC HX TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE TIMES TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT REPAIRED. THE FIRST TIME THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND IT CAME BACK ON IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE SECOND TIME THEY STATED THAT THE OPDS WAS MALFUNCTIONING PROBABLY DUE TO AFTERMARKET ELECTRONICS (CELL PHONE, RADIO, ETC). THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE SAME DAY. THEY STATED THAT THE MODULE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. WITH THE LIGHT ON MY AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK.*AK

I WAS HIT DIRECTLY ON BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION I SUSTAINED HEAD AND NECK INJURIES. DURING THE PERIOD I LEASED THE CAR THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON A NUMBER OF TIMES. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER FIRST HE SAID DONT WORRY NEXT HE SAID IT WAS THE WAY I WAS SITTING ON THE SEAT. *AK

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED FUNCTIONING DUE TO A BURNED OUT SWITCH AND MELTING OF THE WIRING CONNECTOR. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED HONDA AND REPLACED THE SWITCH AND WIRING BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE WHAT CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION AND IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POSTINGS IN REGARD TO THIS SAME ISSUE. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA TO REQUEST INFORMATION. THEY INITIALLY REFUSED TO OPEN A CASE FILE OR PROVIDE INFORMATION. DURING THE SECOND CALL THEY FINALLY OPENED A CASE FILE. WHEN THEY DID CALL REGARDING THE CASE THEY HAD NO INFORMATION, REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO BE TRANSFERRED OR PROVIDE ME WITH ANOTHER CONTACT AND THEN MARK HUNG UP. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 CIVIC WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. THE CIVIC CAME WITH FIRESTONE FR690 TIRES -- P185 65 R15 SERIAL # W2FPF9H2500 (FOR 3 TIRES) AND W2FPF9H2400 FOR THE OTHER TIRE. I STILL HAD THE ORGINAL SET OF TIRES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.*AK I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING ABOUT 65MPH WHEN THE SIDEWALL ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER HE COULD NOT FIND ANY PUNCTURE OR OTHER DEFECT WITH THE TIRE. HE INSPECTED THE REMAINDER OF THE TIRES AND NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE SIDEWALL ON EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE. HE REPLACED ALL OF MY TIRES FREE OF CHARGE EVEN THOUGH THE EXISTING TIRES WERE ALMOST ALL WORN DOWN. HE DID NOT PRORATE THE REPLACEMENT; JUST GAVE ME THEM FOR FREE; IN FACT HE GAVE ME A BETTER BRAND AFFINITY LH30 (NOT HARD TO DO). MY PERSONAL FEELING IS THAT THIS TIRE SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT'S DEFECTIVE.

DT: WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP, THE RPMS WOULD MOVE OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT SERVICE REPAIR SHOPS. ALL OF THEM DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED OVER A PERIOD OF THREE DAYS. ON THE THIRD DAY, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, WHO DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. CONSUMER DID NOT HAVE ANY REPAIR WORK PERFORMED, AND LEFT THE SHOP WHEN THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO HER HOME. CALLED HONDA, WHO SAID WARRANTY WAS UP AND CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO AMCO ,WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED IT WAS INTERNAL PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT REPLACED BUT REPAIRED AT 64,000 MILES. *AK

HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING. HEADLIGHT SWITCH CONNECTOR TO WIRING HARNESS MELTED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SWITCH AND CLEANED THE CONNECTOR. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, PER THE DEALERSHIP.*AK

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

WHEN BACKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARKING LOT AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE ACCELERATED, LOST CONTROL AND HIT A POLE. DRIVER PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE, THEN THE IT ACCELERATED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HIT A PARKED CAR HEAD ON. UPON IMPACT, BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

MY PARENTS WERE DRIVING IN A 2001 HONDA CIVIC IN CLEVELAND, OHIO. THEY WERE DRIVING ON ICY ROADS ON FREEWAY AND CAR NEXT TO THEM LOST CONTROL, SLAMMING BOTH CARS HEAD ON INTO CONCRETE WALL MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. THEN THE CAR KEPT SPINNING AND SLID ACROSS ROAD AND HIT GUARD RAIL ON OTHER SIDE OF ROAD AND AGAIN THE AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. *CB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND ONLY MY HIGH-BEAMS WOULD WORK. I FOUND OUT THAT THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLLUMN HAS BECOME BURNED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE SPOKEN TO SIX OTHER 2001 HONDA CIVIC COUPE OWNERS, AND THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. THIS IS CLEARLY A FACTORY DEFECT AND NEEDS A SAFETY RECALL.*AK

VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN FULL THROTTLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. AS A RESULT, CONSUMER HIT THREE MOTORISTS BUT VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED AND VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK GEAR TO STOP. *AK THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A PEBBLE ENTERING THE AIR INTAKE VALVE. *LA

MY GAS GAUGE READS IMPROPERLY. I WILL LEAVE MY CAR SHOWING OVER 1/4 OF A TANK, NOT USE THE CAR AFTER THAT AND THE NEXT DAY THE GAS GAUGE WILL SHOW IT IS ON E. I HAVE ONLY BEEN AVERAGING 18-21 MPG FOR CITY AND 25 FOR HIGHWAY. *LA

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES AND THEY LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SKID AND REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURIES, AND WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL. ALSO, VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON WET PAVEMENT, THE CONSUMER MADE A TURN AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE HYDRO-PLANED CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE RUNNING HEAD ON INTO A POLE. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *MR THE CONSUMER DID NOT REPORT THE INCIDENT TO THE POLICE. *SC *JB

2001 HONDA CIVIC HAS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS,BOTH FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING. ONLY PARTS AVAILABLE ARE THROUGH THE DEALER AND THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.

IN JUNE 2002 I COMPLAINED ABOUT A CRACKED MOTOR MOUNT, AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAD 18,000 MILES. I WAS ADVISED IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY UNLESS IT WAS BROKEN. IN OCTOBER 2003 TWO MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BAD, ONE WAS THE ONE I ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT, AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAD 38,000 MILES. *LA

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD 9,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER BOUGHT IT FROM AN AUCTION. I WAS HEARING SOME TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM HOOD. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR OIL CHANGED I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THE TAPPING NOISE. THEY SAID IT WASN'T IMPORTANT AND NOT DANGEROUS. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER A WEEK LATER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE THE OIL PAN OUT TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. LATER ON THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT "I DROVE THE CAR IN A PUDDLE OR I HAD A FLOOD -WHICH NEVER HAPPENED-BECAUSE THEY DIAGNOSED" WATER DAMAGED WHICH CAUSED CYLINDER # 3 CONNECTING ROD IS BENT AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT. THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED" I HAVE A FACTORY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT HONDA DENIES TO COVER IT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSPECTED THE CAR AND DIDN'T SEE ANY "WATER DAMAGE". THE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO DENIED THE COVER THE EXPENSE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THE SITUATION. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO. THANK YOU. *LA

LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION.*MR THE CONSUMER HAS HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND TO DATE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE REVIEW FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS. *CB

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER LESS THAN 6 MONTH AFTER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE DEALER JUST RESET THE LIGHT AND IT WOULD COME ON WITHIN WEEKS AGAIN. IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 TIMES BEFORE ADMITTING THE SRS MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. THEN IT TOOK ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE THEY COULD OBTAIN THE PART AND REPLACED IT. WITHIN A YEAR, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND CLAIMED THE MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN AND WILL CAUSE $400 TO REPLACE IT.*JB

THE SRS SENSOR LIGHT STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. THE PART HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOUR TIMES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN 2001, HONDA CIVIC. DEALERS HAD INSPECTED VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING.*AK

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP GEARS. *AK

WE HAVE NOT TAKE IT FOR A RECALL.

I HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. AFTER GOING IN REVERSE, AND THEN PROCEEDING FORWARD, AT THE FIRST APPLICATION OF BRAKES THERE IS A POPPING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE METAL SHIFTING OR BINDING. IT WILL NOT MAKE THE NOISE AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT OCCURRENCE OF GOING INTO REVERSE AND THEN COMING TO THE FIRST STOP. AFTER BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE NOISE WILL DIMINSH FOR A DAY OR TWO, AND THEN RESUME AS NORMAL. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY ARE NOT ADJUSTING ANYTHING ON THE BRAKES. THE DEALER ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE DESIGN OF THE BRAKES FOR THE 2001 MODEL YEAR THAT CAUSES THIS NOISE. IT SOUNDS BAD, AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL LEAD TO A BRAKE COMPONENT FAILING.*AK

SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP-WAS TOLD IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM PROBABLY DUE TO SOMETHING PUT ON THE FRONT SEAT. COMPUTER WAS RESET & TWO WEEKS LATER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN & THIS TIME SERVICE PERSON @ THE DEALER STATED THE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED & WOULD BE VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR & IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR HONDA CARE(45,000 MILES ON VEHICLE).

SRS LIGHT (AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT) HAS ACTIVATED FOUR TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR TO THIS DATE INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL AT THAT TIME. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO PERFECTION HONDA IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, FOR REPAIRS. DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS HAVE BEEN GIVEN EACH TIME, AND IT WAS REPLACED ON ONE OCCASION. THE LAST EXPLANATION GIVEN WAS THAT A CELLULAR TELEPHONE WAS BEING CHARGED AND/OR USED IN THE CAR NEAR THE SEAT. THE SRS LIGHT WAS RESET. WITHIN ONE DAY THE SRS LIGHT HAD COME ON AGAIN AT A TIME THAT NO CELLULAR TELEPHONE WAS BEING USED AND/OR CHARGED. HONDA'S EXPLANATION OF THE USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES NEAR THE SEAT IS NOT SATISFACTORY AS IT PLACES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. CELLULAR TELEPHONE USAGE AND/OR CHARGING MAY BE NECESSARY FOR PERSONAL SAFETY BUT POSSIBLY WILL RESULT IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONING DURING WHAT COULD BE A CRUCIAL TIME. HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS DEFECT IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILED WITH THE NHTSA CONCERNING THIS SITUATION.*AK

IN JULY 2004 MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON, MY HORN DOESN'T WORK NOW, MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE READ BULLETINS ON OTHER WEB PAGES AND I KNOW MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC IS NOT THE ONLY CIVIC WITH THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? WILL MY AIRBAGS STILL WORK? *JB

MY SON WAS ABOUT AN HOUR OUT OF SUN VALLEY IDAHO WHEN HE HIT AN ELK! 5000 DAMAGE TO HIS 2001 HONDA CIVIC AND LACERATED FACE....AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

NOTICED THAT THE SRS LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE SRS UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

SRS CONTROL UNIT FAILED AT 39,280 MILES. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

AIR BAG PROBLEM. DEALER HAS INSPECTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK

ON 5/29/2003 THE DRIVER APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED LAST YEAR WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *AK

THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER MOTORIST, AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *JB

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, AFTER THE FRONT END DEVELOPED A NOISE. MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE STRUTS NEEDED REPLACING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WINDSHIELD: EACH TIME A STONE HITS THE WINDSHIELD, THE WINDSHIELD CHIPS/CRACKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN 2 YEARS. I ACCEPT ONE OR TWO TIMES BUT SIX?*JB BODY OF THE CAR: THE BODY DENTS FREQUENTLY. THIS OCCURS IF A STONE OR ANOTHER CAR DOOR HITS THE CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT THE BODY IS DAMAGED SO EASILY.

WHILE DRIVING, THE LEFT DRIVER TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE MOLDING THAT HELD THE DOOR ATTACHMENT FELL OFF. *NLM

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH GETTING HOT AND BURNING THE WIRE. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND WIRING ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB

DRIVER SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH UNDER NORMAL USE. I'VE NOW HAD THIS REPAIRED TWICE, ONCE AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES. THE SECOND TIME, A NOTE WAS ON THE RECEIPT NOTING A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT NOT WHAT IT SAID. BOTH TIMES, PAPERWORKS SAYS BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE IDEA OF OWNING A CAR THAT HAS DRIVER SEAT BUSHINGS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT EVERY 10,000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM NOTED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 01057 OF THIS SITE.

THE FRONT STRUTS LEAKED. *JB

PROBLEMS WITH KEYLESS ENTRY AND HEADLIGHTS. *MR THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY WORKED ON HIGH BEAM. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS FOR THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULD NOT HELP. THE KEYLESS ENTRY DID NOT WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER AND AFTER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK AGAIN. THE DOORS HAD TO BE OPENED AND LOCKED MANUALLY. THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK DUE TO A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT. *SC *JB

THE FRONT STRUTS EXPERIENCED PREMATURE FAILURE, WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. *JB

REAR WINDSHIELD BLEW OUT COMPLETELY WHILE MY CAR (HONDA CIVIC 2001) WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD/CAR. THERE WERE NO PRIOR DINGS, CRACKS, HOLES, OR DAMAGE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 70 DEGREES. *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH. NEITHER THE FRONT DRIVER NOR PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. *NLM *TT

LEFT FRONT STRUT IS LEAKING, MY CAR VIBRATES SO SEVERELY THAT I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. THERE ARE NO STRUTS IN THE USA - ON CRITICAL BACK ORDER. MY DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN NOTICEABLE QUANTITIES OF THIS PROBLEM. THE 2001 CIVIC HAS A NEW SUSPENSION SYSTEM IN IT, AND IT IS FLAWED IN MY OPINION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK, AND DOES MOSTLY INTERSTATE DRIVING. *NLM

CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASED IN MARCH 2001. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES FOR VIBRATION PROBLEMS AGAIN 4000 MILES LATER BRAKES ARE BAD. TIRES WORN TO UNSAFE TREAD DEPTH W/ 2500 MILES. FRONT STRUTS BOTH BLOWN, TOLD BY DEALER THAT THEY WERE ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER??? AS TO WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. DRIVER SEAT ROCKS, DEALER FIXED ONCE SAYING A SHIM WAS BROKE, AGAIN 8000 MILES LATER DRIVER SEAT ROCKS AGAIN. PAINT ON CAR HAS MANY SMALL RUST SPOTS. CLUTCH MUST HAVE FLAT SPOTS ON IT, AS WHEN I RELEASE CLUTCH TO START MOVING THERE IS A JUMPING SENSATION ABLE TO BE FELT BY DRIVER. AGAIN CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. *JB

THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. *NLM

WHILE ON A HILL THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS ALTHOUGH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS ENGAGED IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *NLM

I WAS REAR ENDED BY A TACOMA TRAVELING 45 MPH WHILE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. AS A RESULT, I HIT A MERCEDES THAT WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. LUCKILY, I SIT FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM MY STEERING WHEEL AND WAS NOT INJURED. I SPOKE WITH BEAUDRY HONDA IN TUCSON, ARIZONA AND WAS IGNORED. *NM
