1998 Honda Civic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA CIVIC EX. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS CAME OUT OF THE ROLLING TRACK CONSTANTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL IN ORDER TO PUT THE WINDOW BACK ON THE RAIL AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE EACH TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE MECHANISM THAT ALLOWED THE WINDOWS TO BE OPENED OR CLOSED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT MADE THE REPAIR BUT FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

DRIVING AT 55 MPH A FORD FOCUS PULLED STRAIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND CAME TO A STOP. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 CAR LENGTH AWAY WHEN THEY DID THIS SO I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO STOP AND COULD NOT PULL OUT AROUND THEM BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I T-BONED THIS VEHICLE DOING 55 MPH AND THEY WERE STOPPED. MY FRONT END HIT DIRECTLY ON THEIR FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. THEIR FRONT LEFT FENDER AND TIRE WERE BENT IN AND BOTH OF THEIR FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY WHOLE FRONT END WAS CRUSHED IN AND THE CENTER OF MY HOOD LOOKED LIKE I HIT A TREE. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IF I HAD NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED THAN I WAS. WHERE ARE THE SENSORS FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT? SHOULDN'T MINE HAVE DEPLOYED? *TR

BOUGHT USED JUNE 2011 WITH ABOUT 169,000ISH, WAS ASSURED THAT EVERYTHING WAS CHECKED OUT. DROVE BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS, AND THEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. WITHIN TWO MONTHS THE BATTERY DIED, HAD TO REPLACE. IN JAN OF 2012 CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND I NOTICED A 2" CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR, REPLACED. NOW TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND RPMS GO WAY UP WHEN SHIFTING INTO FOURTH GEAR. I DRAINED AND CHANGED THE FLUID WITH THE RECOMMENDED HONDA FLUID, AND NOW THE HIGH RPMS AND SLIPPING ARE OCCURRING IN ALL FORWARD GEARS. I FEEL LIKE A VOICE IN A FREAKING TORNADO WHEN IT COME TO ANY REASONABLE SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR BLOW TO HONDA'S REPUTATION FOR ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 03V423000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH) BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 258,000.

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, STOPPING, AND ACCELERATING. IT WILL RESTART AFTER A TIME PERIOD OR AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. VEHICLE STALLED EXITING THE FREEWAY, APPROACHING A STOP, AND LEAVING AN INTERSECTION, MULTIPLE TIMES. HONDA REFUSED TO REPAIR THE IGNITION SWITCH EVEN THOUGH A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. REF HONDA RECALL ID #43534, NHTSA #02V120000 I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY HONDA FOR A REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALS HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR SAFETY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. I AM NOW FORCED TO REPAIR AT MY OWN COST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE DISTRIBUTOR AND THE IGNITION CABLE. THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURE WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V120000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

ON MAY 20, 2011, AROUND 5:45 -6:00 IN THE MORNING. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-95 NEAR THE REST AREA IN GLYNN COUNTY JUST A LITTLE AFTER EXITS 42. IT APPEARED THAT I HAD RAN OVER A SEMI-TRUCK TIRE THAT WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE. IT WAS LATER CONFIRM AFTER GETTING A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE REST AREA A SEMI-TRUCK WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD GETTING A TIRE REPLACE BY AN TOWING COMPANY. WHILE ON MY LUNCH BREAK I NOTICE THE LEFT DRIVERS OF MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN DAMAGE DUE THE OBJECT IN THE ROAD THIS MORNING. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS PART HAS CRACKED. I HAD IT REPLACED TWICE ALREADY AT THE DEALERSHIP- THEY DID NOT COVER THE PART UNDER WARRANTY AND I PAID $1000 EACH TIME TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I TRIED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO COMPENSATE ME FOR IT. *TR
