THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILED IN 1996. CAROLINA IMPORTS REPLACED IT ($900), AND MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD REPLACED MANY AIR CONDITIONERS FROM 1991 HONDA CIVICS. THE REPLACEMENT AIR CONDITIONER HAS SPRUNG AN UNIDENTIFIED LEAK TWICE, SPILLING OUT ALL FREON (@$250). IT ALSO SPRANG ONE IDENTIFIED LEAK, WHICH WAS FIXED. THE BACK TRUNK HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR YEARS. WHEN THE TRUNK IS RAISED, WATER POURS DOWN IN THE TRUNK FROM THE RAISED SECTION. WATER ALSO LEAKS IN THE TRUNK WHEN IT IS CLOSED. HONDA SPECIALISTS (RTP, NC) SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN 1990 AND 1991 CIVIC MODELS, AND THAT IT IS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT WHICH CANNOT BE FIXED. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTINIG FLICKERS AND GOES OFF ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. IT COMES BACK ON IF THE DASHBOARD IS BANGED ON. THE MUFFLER WAS REPLACED DUE TO LARGE HOLES IN THE EARLY 1990'S. THANKFULLY I GOT A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE MUFFLER, BECAUSE I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE. BOTH TIMES DUE TO HOLES. *AK

SEAL ACROSS THE TRUNK PANEL DETERIORATED AND PERMITTED WATER TO LEAK THUS CAUSING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN REAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS.
THE FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTONS CAN BREAK. THESE RED PLASTIC RELEASE BUTTONS ARE MARKED "PRESS." IF A BUTTON BREAKS, PIECES CAN FALL INTO THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE BUCKLE TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE SAFETY BELTS WOULD NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION TO AN OCCUPANT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: OWNERS SHOULD PROMPTLY CHECK THE CONDITION AND OPERATION OF BOTH FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLES. CAREFULLY INSPECT THE RED RELEASE BUTTON FOR ANY BREAKS OR CRACKS. CHECK THAT BOTH BUCKLES ARE OPERATING PROPERLY BY INSERTING EACH LATCH PLATE INTO ITS BUCKLE, TUG ON THE BELT TO MAKE SURE THE LATCH IS SECURELY LOCKED, THEN PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON. THE LATCH PLATE SHOULD POP OUT OF THE BUCKLE WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED. IF EITHER RELEASE BUTTON SHOWS ANY SIGN OF BREAKAGE OR CRACKING, OR IF EITHER BUCKLE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY, PROMPTLY CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED HONDA/ACURA DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BUCKLE REPLACED OR REPAIRED, FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER IS DEVELOPING A REMEDY DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE OF THE BUTTONS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY BROKEN.
