Automatic Transmission stalls when coming to stop, replaced air flow thingy sensor, still stalls.
Automatic transmission skips when decelerating then accelerating, dealer says is common.
Automatic transmission has loud clicking sound when going through gears.
Front springs break over every pothole.
Knocking sounds from front suspension.
Rear suspension squeaks.
Brakes needed replacement at 27000 miles
(I am not an aggressive driver)
Tires needed replacement at 27000 miles
(I take the curves nice and slow)
Fuel gauge erratic.
Car is hard to start sometimes.
When going through puddles loud vibrating sound from right front engine area, and reduced power. Going to dealer tomorrow.
Idle has had to been reset numerous times, still idles to low then stalls, dealer does not see problem because "they cannot re-create it"
Both front shocks have been replaced due to default.
Bagel left in-between my coolant system hoses after servicing, thanks guys nice and toasty.
Reduced power, car now half as powerful than when first purchased.
Eats through gas like I own a Lincoln Navigator, dealer did a tune up, cost me 500 bucks (US).
Potholes become back-jarring experiences.
Overall handling of car is very poor.
Interior noise is like being in a rocket during liftoff.
Don't try and haul friends anywhere, no power to get up hills, or get onto highways.
Glass windows rattle over smoth road.
About ten pieces of the dashboard rattle, driving me crazy.
Radio volume control erratic, to loud or to soft, no medium.
I need an armrest.
Seats are not supportive enough for long drives.
Big dent from my hood being warped, very cheaply made.
Car covered with sap when received from dealer, dealer blamed it on me.
Scratch on inside of windshield during first 600 miles, dealer again blamed it on me. (I believe whoever prepped my car had a diamond ring that did the damage)
Cabin material is very cheap.
For the price of the car I expect a lot more.
I could care less for my car, if I had the money to buy another I would. It seemed everyone was happy with their Honda, so I bought one. Man am I disapointed. This car is an absolute lemon, it does not desrve to be called a Honda. I will never buy another Honda, this car has been back to the dealer almost every month I have owned the car. What a disapointment!
Steven, what are you the general manager down at GM? I read about 30 reviews on this car and all are mostly positive with no major defects or engine problems. Sounds like you bought the car from hell my friend! Any who good luck trying to sell you crap box if it is in fact as bad as you say it is. Good funny comments though I must say. Rock n' roll man!
It is built in the usa
I'm afraid that Americans don't understand the words
Build Quality
unlike Japan and the U.K!!!
I too get the loud vibrating noise from the same spot. What was the dealer's explanation for this if you got one?
Gees my wife loves her civic, other than the front struts leaking (factory defect) the little car has 65000km and it just putts along great.
I also get a vibrating noise from the engine when driving in wet conditions from my '01 LX. Has anyone identified and/or resolved this problem?
I am having some of the same problems with my car, 2001 civic (LX) Manual Coupe. I first started having the problem with stalling out at 12000 miles. I took it into the dealership and the best answer they could come up with was "You might have gotten bad gas." The problem continued, but would only occur every now in then, it wasn't constant. Now that my warranty has expired, the problem is continuous, and the dealership still cannot locate the problem. I cannot drive my car unless I unplug the the Idle Air Control Valve. Having it unplugged provides a jerky- not so smooth- drive, but it doesn't stall out. Given that information you would think that they could find and fix the problem, but no, it still sits at the dealership shop.
Louisiana.
OOOOH no, don't even blame this on being built in the USA! It's a Japanese car, Japanese parts, Japanese quality!
I can relate with original march 4th, 2003 comment. My 2001 exhibited many of those symptoms and more. The drivers side headlight had to be replaced twice. The trunk and front hood wouldn't open quarter panels and bumpers were found misshapen. My tires and brakes have been replaced at least 3 times. Car only has 140,000 KM. Probably cost about $15,000 CDN to correct defects. Finally the last straw... summer 2007 the frame bent the worst I've seen it. I'm done with my 2001 Civic, but I'm going to replace it with a 2004 or a 2008 Civic SE, have to decide yet. Much investigating revealed the root cause of the the failures and Honda was exonerated. The common denominator is a classic case of being in the right place at the wrong time. Now anybody want to take ownership of 2 early 20's adults... :)
