2003 Honda Civic Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL - JUST BOUGHT CAR 3 MTHA AGO, I PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY SON WASNT FEELING GOOD FROM THE HEAT. TRIED TO PUT KEY IN IGNITION SWITH AND DIDNT GO IN OR TURN ON SWITCH. ON.SINGLE MOTHER, NO FAMILY, OR FRIENDS. JUST MOVED FROM NEVADA. NO MONEY AT THE TIME. MY SON OVERHEATED AND MY SON GOT DEHYDRATED. NO FAITH IN HONDA CIVICS ANYMORE. MY SON ALMOST DIED FOR ITBTO AN EXPIRED RECALL. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE FROM THEIR FIOD MONEY TO FIX THE CAR. HOW DISAPPOINTED.

TAKATA RECALL (15V-370), AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE INTO HONDA FOR THE TAKATA RECALL THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL I DID NOT CONTACT THEM FIGURING THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHERS ONLINE. IT ALSO HAPPENED TO A FRIEND OF MINE AND HONDA COVERED IT SO I CALLED AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED IT MUST BE A COINCIDENCE AND CERTAINLY NOT FROM A DEFECT OR IMPROPER WORK. I FIND IT VERY ODD THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT AFTER THE WORK ON THE RECALL. I HAD DOUBTS ABOUT BRINING IT IN AND SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT. THEY SAY IT IS PROBABLY RELATED TO A SENSOR, WHICH I HAVE GATHERED COULD HAVE BEEN FROM IMPROPER WORK.

HONDA RECALL IGNITION SWITCH RANDOM FAILURE. NO PROBLEMS UNTIL ONE DAY IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. KEY GOES IN BUT WILL NOT TURN.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKS BACK AND FORTH WHEN SHIFTING AUTOMATICALLY RESULTING IN NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE.VEHICLE DOES NOT LOCK DOORS.DEALERSHIP FAILED TO COMPLETE OR INFORM ME OF ANY KINDS OF HAZARDS AS I OVERLOOKED THESE MAJOR PROBLEMS WHEN PURCHASED USED CAR. I PAID OVER 3400 DOLLARS FOR JUNK.

TAKATA RECALL, RECALL? THE ORIGINAL AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON - AND STAYS ON. I CAME ON 2 WEEKS AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON (NO CRASH OR OTHER REASON IT WOULD COME ON). IT IS ON FROM THE TIME I TURN THE CAR ON UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF.

MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, NO ONE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW, MY SEAT BELT, DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT LATCH WHEN I PUT THE STRAP IN.

THE AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK AT ALL..AND IVE ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS FOGGING ALL THE TIME....

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AFTER BEING FIXED BY PREVIOUS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V136000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

EL CARRO PRENDE LA BOLSA DE AIRE. UN SENSOR DE TEMPERATURA Y EL SWITCH

LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHICH CAUSED A SEVER ACCIDENT INCLUDING THE CAR ROLLING OVER 3 TIMES LEAVING ME UPSIDE DOWN TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE PURCHASED NEW 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. HAD VERY FEW MILES ON THE TIRES.

CLEAR COAT FAILURE. NOTICEABLE CLEAR COAT FAILURE STARTED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY CLAIM IT IS ONLY AN ISSUE ON 2005 AND LATER CIVICS, WHICH OBVIOUSLY ISN'T TRUE. CLEAR COAT FAILURE ON ROOF, TRUNK, AND ABOVE THE DOORS.

I NOTICED A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT THE HOOD HAD STARTED TO BOUNCE SOMEWHAT WHILE CAR WAS IN OPERATION, UPON INVESTIGATING I FOUND THE SUPPORT THAT THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY IS ATTACHED ( BULKHEAD / CROSS MEMBER) HAD A HAIRLINE CRACK APPEARING. WITHIN A MATTER OF A FEW WEEKS THE ENTIRE LATCH ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN LOOSE. ONCE THIS HAPPENS EVEN THE SECONDARY LATCH IS USELESS, AT THIS POINT THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE HOOD FROM FLYING OPEN DURING THE COURSE OF DRIVING WHICH INVOLVES AIR TURBULENCE IS A VERY THIN GAUGE STEEL CABLE CONNECTED TO THE INSIDE HOOD RELEASE LATCH WHICH ISN'T MEANT TO RESTRAIN HOOD FROM FLYING OPEN. I'VE ALSO FOUND ONE DOCUMENTED CASE OF A HOOD FLYING OPEN WHILE CAR IS TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE IN OHIO, THIS WAS A 2004 HONDA CIVIC AND THE TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT NUMBER IS 10-119-89. I'VE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE ON JANUARY 19, 2016 . SO FAR I'VE ONLY RECEIVED A CASE FILE NUMBER (04405315) AND A LOT OF RUN AROUND. I'VE BEEN TOLD IN DIFFERENT CONVERSATION MY CAR IS 13 YEARS OLD AND OUT OF WARRANTY. I KNOW THAT. THE CAR WAS ALSO OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN BOTH AIRBAGS PRODUCED BY TAKATA CORPORATION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL THIS HOOD LATCH PROBLEM IS JUST AS DANGEROUS IF NOT MORE SO, IF ONES HOOD COMES UNLATCHED GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY OR WORSE A INTERSTATE THIS COULD VERY EASILY RESULT IN A MAJOR PILE UP PUTTING NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS AT RISK FOR LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, BRYAN HONDA LOCATED HERE IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC. A SERVICE ADVISOR AND FIXED OPERATIONS DIRECTOR BY THE NAME OF TODD KUTHER HAS INSPECTED THE CAR, TOOK PHOTOS AND FORWARDED TO AMERICAN HONDA USING THE CASE FILE# (04405315)

ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT 10/31/2015, AFTER GETTING HOME FROM TAKING KIDS TRICK-OR-TREATING I WAS LEAVING TO GO TO STORE. WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE-WAY I REALIZED I FORGOT MY WALLET INSIDE. SO I OPENED THE DOOR & WENT TO STEP OUT, THEN NOTICED I WAS STICKING OUT IN THE STREET A LITTLE BIT. SO I LEFT MY LEFT LEG OUT & DOOR OPEN BECAUSE I WAS ONLY GOING TO PULL FORWARD A COUPLE FEET. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE & BARELY PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, THE GAS PEDAL FORCED ITSELF TO THE FLOOR & THE CAR ACCELERATED VERY QUICKLY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR & TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD TO STOP IT! BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.... THE CAR SHOT US THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR WHERE MY LEG & FOOT HIT THE ROCK SIDING ENTRANCE GOING INTO GARAGE. IT ALSO TWISTED MY LEG ALL AROUND & WAS PINNED IN BETWEEN CAR AND GARAGE WALL. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT TOOK MY BRAND NEW MOTORCYCLE I HAD ONLY OWNED FOR 3 WEEKS & SMASHED IT INTO THE WALL!!! IT COMPLETELY TOTALED MY MOTORCYCLE. BUT I WAS SO BADLY MESSED UP & HURT I COULDN'T EVEN HARDLY WALK OR PUT ANY WEIGHT ON MY LEFT LEG. AFTER MONTHS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY & LOTS OF DOCTOR BILLS I AM HEALED, FOR THE MOST PART. I CONTACTED HONDA & THEY DID AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BUT DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT & RELEASED IT AS A SAFE DRIVEABLE VEHICLE. SO I WAS LEFT WITH ABOUT $15,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE INCLUDING MY BRAND NEW MOTORCYCLE. MY FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE ONLY PAID ABOUT 3/4 OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE BIKE. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST TRAUMATIC CRAZY THINGS TO EVER HAPPEN TO US! IM JUST SO LUCKY & GLAD THAT ONE OF THE KIDS WASN'T IN THE GARAGE PLAYING OR ANYONE ELSE GOT HURT! THIS COULD'VE BEEN SOOO MUCH WORSE THAN IT ALREADY WAS!!!

SO, I RECEIVED THE HONDA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAGS AND BROUGHT MY 2003 CIVIC TO BE SERVICED. AFTER IT WAS COMPETE, I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH. I WENT BACK TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE WOMAN SAID THAT LIGHT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL! HOW ABSURD IS THAT?! THERE'S A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE FOR FIGURING OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WHY ISN'T THIS PART OF THE RECALL, HONDA?!?!

CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS GIVEN ONE OVER 60 DAYS BEYOND THE DAYS DATE. THE RECALL IS FOR AIRBAGS AND IS A CLEAR SAFETY RISK TO DRIVERS. THEY WILL SELL VEHICLES BUT WILL NOT REPAIR THEIR MISTAKES IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

SRS LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. CODE READS SEAT BELT BUCKLE, CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER SEAT BELT WARRANTY. NOW TECH LINE ADVISES REPLACING WIRE HARNESS INTO SEAT BELT...DEALER WANTS OVER $900. HONDA WILL COVER UNDER WARRANTY ANYTHING SEAT BELT RELATED BUT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT AIR BAGS...AND WON'T COVER IT. PLEASE COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY HONDA...IT'S NOT EVEN GUARANTEED THIS WILL CLEAR THE CODE. THEORY IS AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED IF SRS LIGHT IS ON...WHY HAVE THE HARNESS ANYWAY...SERVICE HAS USED ELECTRICAL CONTACT CLEANER, RE-WIRED THE END OF THE HARNESS, BUT ONLY SATISFIES FOR A FEW MONTHS AND CODE CONTINUES TO ELIMINATE SRS LIGHT WHICH DISABLES AIRBAGS. WHY COVER SEATBELTS BUT NOT AIRBAG/SRS SYSTEM?

THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS GONE OUT.

TOOK CAR IN FOR AIRBAG FAILURE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE SRS UNIT IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY OR RECALL. THIS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL UNDER NORMAL WEAR AN TEAR. THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND REQUIRED A DEPOSIT OF $800 TO ORDER. WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING IF OUR AIRBAGS WOULD WORK OR NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CURB AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT. AFTER EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V37000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. DUE TO THE FAILURE ALREADY BEING EXPERIENCED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE RECALL REMEDIES WERE DECLINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING, I NOTICED THAT MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, ON THE DASH, WAS ILLUMINATED. APPROXIMATELY, 3 - 4 WEEKS AGO, I HAD MY AIRBAGS REPLACED AT MY LOCAL DEALER, DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. TODAY, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SAME DEALER THAT REPLACED MY AIRBAGS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS PROBABLY BE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SEATBELT, OF WHICH, SHE HAD SEEN COSTS FOR THIS TO BE BETWEEN $200 & $450. I SHOWED HER THAT I HAD ANOTHER WARNING LIGHT, ALERTING ME TO ANY SEATBELT ISSUE, BUT, SHE TOLD ME THAT WARNING LIGHT ALERTS DRIVERS TO 'PUT ON THEIR SEATBELT', AND THAT THE WARNING LIGHT THAT I WAS SEEING ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH IS FOR THE ENTIRE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM, (I.E. AIRBAGS, SEATBELTS, ETC.). SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE THOUGHT MY ISSUE WAS TIED TO THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT, BECAUSE IT GETS THE MOST USE. SHOULDN'T ALL COMPONENTS, DEALING WITH OCCUPANT RESTRAINT, BE CONSIDERED WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE?

THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND MY CAR IS INVOLVED IN IT. I'M FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

I WAS DRIVING ON 695 WEST HIGH WAY BALTIMORE, MARYLAND ON JUNE 1ST IN THE AFTERNOON AS USUAL, ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE SPEED A BIT, HOWEVER MY BREAK WAS HARDLY TO PUSH DOWN. I FELT LIKE SOMETHING GOT STUCK THERE. AT THE MEANTIME, THE ACCELERATOR SEEMS NOT STOP WHILE I WAS PUSHING DOWN THE BREAK, ON THE OPPOSITE IT WAS INCREASING THE SPEED... IN GENERAL, THE SPEED WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT IT WAS SUPER SLOW. I COULD TELL MY CAR WAS IN A SUPER BAD SITUATION. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WEREN'T LOT OF CARS NEAR TO ME, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHT AND TURNED MY CAR TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. I FINALLY MADE CAR REDUCING THE SPEED TO 20 MPH WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, BUT IT WAS STILL MOVING THAT I HAD TO MAKE A EMERGENCY BREAK AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. IT WAS A HORRIBLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE I NEVER EVER HAD. I SENT MY TO THE REPAIR STORE, THE RESULT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM OF MY CAR IS THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK THAT EFFECTED THE BREAK COULDN'T SLOW DOWN THE SPEED, ALSO MY BREAK HAD SOME ISSUES TOO. I SPENT $1,699.00 TO GET MY CAR FIXED IN THE END. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO ANY CARS, ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT WILL BE A BIG POSSIBLE TO CAUSE THE CAR ACCIDENT. I THINK HONDA HAS TO TAKE A BIG RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS INCIDENT, AND TO MAKE SURE ALL OF HONDA CARS WON'T HAVE THIS TERRIBLE ISSUE.

I WAS READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND MY CAR WAS PARKED OUT IN FRONT OF MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I WENT TO GO START IT UP, IT MADE A LOUD NOISE AND DIDN'T WANT TO ENGAGE IN "REVERSE." AFTER FIVE MINUTES OF TRYING I TRIED PUTTING IT BACK IN "PARK" BUT AGAIN THE SAME LOUD NOISE AND IT STILL DIDN'T ENGAGE. IT ONLY STAYED IN "NEUTRAL" SO I LEFT IT THERE AND DIDN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT! REALLY HONDA?? THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BECAUSE IT'S COSTING A LOT OF HARD WORKING AMERICANS A LOT OF MONEY WHEN IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT! SHAME ON YOU HONDA!

WENT TO THE STORE, CAR STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. ONLY IN THE STORE 20 MINUTES. WHEN RETURNED I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE IGNITION. THE IGNITION IS LOCKED. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. *TR
