IN REQUESTING A QUOTE FOR CAR INSURANCE, A LINK WAS PROVIDED TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR THOSE WISHING TO SEE IF THEIR VEHICLE HAS/HAD BEEN RECALLED. FOR THE HECK OF IT, I DECIDED TO TRY IT. TO MY SHOCK, I DISCOVERED THERE HAVE BEEN 5 RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC SINCE 2001(RE: SEAT BELTS; FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL PUMP; AND ENGINE & ENGINE COOLING). IT IS NOW 2003, AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ONE NOTIFICATION. THE SYSTEM DID NOT SPECIFY IF THESE RECALLS ARE RELATED TO THE EX MODEL, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE. HOWEVER, THE THOUGHT THAT THE RECALLS ARE RELATED TO MY VEHICLE HAS ME SERIOUSLY CONCERNED AND NEEDLESS TO SAY VERY FRUSTRATED AT THE THOUGHT THAT I WOULD NOT BE CONTACTE BY HONDA.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THE SRS LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED FOR THE SECOND TIME. *SLC

CAR POPS OUT OF 2ND GEAR WHEN DOWN SHIFTING FROM EITHER 3RD/4TH GEAR FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS & THEY CAN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. I'VE WRITTEN TO THE HONDA DEALER CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN CALIFORNIA. THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL CAR AT THEIR EXPENSE ON TWO OCCASIONS, BUT THE CAR HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. AGAIN, I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM 6 TIMES, 3 OF WHICH ARE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH & A HALF. CAR IS STILL POPPING OUT OF 2ND GEAR. I'VE HAD TWO OTHER PRIVATE MECHANICS DRIVE THE CAR, & GUESS WHAT IT POPPED OUT OF 2ND GEAR FOR THEM. HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM PERIOD!*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TRANSMISSION CODE P0740 TOLD TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DRIVEN CAR NORMALLY AND HAS 128,000 MILES, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE MADE. MANY MECHANICS HAVE CLAIMED THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. THERE ARE STORIES ABOUT TRANSMISSIONS GOING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC HX WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. AT 14,533 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. IT WOULD LOOSE POWER AND THE REVOLUTIONS WOULD GO WAY UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE "D" LIGHT ON THE SHIFT INDICATOR STARTED TO FLASH. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THEY DID A "3 TIME FLUSH OF THE TRANSMISSION PER BULLETIN" AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. WELL AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES IT STARTED TO MALFUNCTION AGAIN, SAME SIGNS AND SYMPTONS AS THE FIRST TIME. THE DEALERS SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROCESS TOOK ABOUT A MONTH DURING WICH TIME I WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR. THERE IS MORE, ON 01/17/03 THE CAR IS NOW AT 40,000 MILES AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 01/18/03 AND I AM WAITING FOR THEIR DIAGNOSIS. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY SAFELY ALL 3 TIMES WITHOUT HAVING CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS.

ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES WERE LOOSE. THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH WAS SO LOOSE, IT ALMOST FELL OFF. I HAD TO TIGHTEN ALL FOUR LATCHES WITH THE SUPPLIED TOOLKIT. THIS SEEMED LIKE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM TO ME. *AK

CUSTOMER WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE SHE STOWS HER WHEELCHAIR IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT.

WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY, IT ACCELERATED REALLY FAST AND WHEN I LIGHTLY STEP ON THE BRAKE, IT ABRUPTLY STOPS. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS TRYING TO FIX THIS CAR. THE FIRST PROBLEM REPORTED WAS THE "POWER SWITCH" SECONDLY THEY REPORTED THAT IT'S A "TRANSMISSION" BUT STILL COULDN'T FIGURE OUT IF WHAT ELSE IS THE PROBLEM. LASTLY, THEY NOTIFIED ME ON APRIL 19, 2001 THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE "TRANSMISSION SOLENOID."

PAINT IS DEVELOPING CROWS FEET IN FOUR SEPERATE PLACES. DEALERSHIP SENT ME TO A CONTRACTED BODY SHOP FOR EVALUATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. BODY SHOP SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO BIRD DROPPINGS OR SAP. HAD ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PACKAGE APPLIED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. I WASH THIS CAR ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND HOSE OFF BIRD DROPPINGS AS THEY ARE NOTICED. THESE PLACES ARE ALSO ON THE SIDE OF VEHICLE (NOT A FLAT SURFACE). I FIND THIS IMPOSSIBLE AND BELIEVE IT TO BE A DEFECT IN PAINT. BLEMISHES AND LOSS OF GLOSS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE PAINT. LANDMARK HONDA DID OFFER A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS UNACCEPTIBLE. WARRANTY INFORMATION ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PACKAGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MAILED TO ME IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION. IT WASN'T. DEALER EXPLAINED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT THEY PURCHASE AN INSURANCE POLICY ON THE PAINT WITH THE APPLICATION AND THAT THIS WAS NEVER DONE. THEY TURNED AROUND AND PURCHASED THIS INSURANCE AFTER THE FACT, MAILED ME THE WARRANTY INFO WITH 800 NUMBER, AND ASKED ME TO WAIT TWO WEEKS BEFORE CONTACTING THEM SO THAT IT WOULDN'T BE SUSPECT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE INSURANCE FRAUD AND AS MUCH AS I DO WANT THE CAR FIXED, I DON'T WANT TO BREAK LAWS IN DOING SO. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK
