1999 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH INTERMITTENT STALLING. THE CAR WILL JUST CUT OFF WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. IT DOES THIS EVERYDAY AND WILL CUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, BACKING UP OR DRIVING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHY IT IS DOING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT DID NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN #. THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO RECALLS....ON IS TSB#02-031 AND 9910. THE LAST ONE MY HUSBAND FOUND ON THE INTERNET AND IT ONLY SAID HONDA CIVIC 1999 AND DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC MODEL. I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS. *TR

TAG # [XXX] , A GREEN HONDA CIVIC WITH A MALE DRIVER WAS DRIVING DOWN NORTH LAKE DRIVE IN LEXINGTON, SC TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 PM. I WAS BEHIND THAT CAR WHILE HE STAYED IN THE LEFT LANE PROCEEDING SLOWLY. I REMAINED AT ABOUT THREE CAR-LENGTHS BEHIND THIS PERSON WHILE HE BEGAN SLAMMING ON HIS BRAKES. THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF HIM. I TAPPED THE HORN AS HE LOST SOME CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL DUE TO HIS ABRUPT STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HE PROCEEDING TO "FLIP THE BIRD OUT HIS WINDOW TOWARDS ME." HE CONTINUED THIS BEHAVIOR FOR AT LEAST TWO OR MORE MILES CONTINUALLY STOPPING EVERY FEW MOMENTS. HE WOULD NEARLY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP EACH TIME, THEN PICK BACK UP PACE AFTER REGAINING CONTROL. I FINALLY PASSED HIM AND ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW TO LET HIM KNOW I WAS REPORTING HIS TAG NUMBER. THE PERSON DIRECTLY BEHIND ME WAS NOW BEHIND THIS CIVIC DEALING WITH THAT SAME BEHAVIOR AS IT APPEARED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS OBSCENE BEHAVIOR NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH AND NOT TOLERATED ON OUR ROADS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

A TOTAL IGNITION CUTOFF HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC EX. THE CAR HAS 151K MILES.IT HAS CUTOFF ON THE FWY AT 65MPH.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED,ETC. CANADA HONDA HAS A RECALL FOR 97 THRU 2001 ACCORDS,CIVICS,CRVS TO REPLACE FAULTY ELECTRICAL SWITCH ON THE KEYLOCK.:USA HONDA IS NOT DOING THIS RECALL,WHY NOT? I WOULD THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THOSE THAT EXPERIENCE THIS DANGEROUS OCCURENCE. I VISITED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER W THIS PROBLEM, THE SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. ALL CIVICS ARE BUILT IN CANADA AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TYPE OS ELECTRICAL ASSY ATTACHED TO THE KEY ASSY. I WOULD THINK THAT ALL THESE ASSYS SHOULD BE REPLACED .THE ASSY COSTS ABOUT 48.00 AND DEALER WANTS 150.00 LABOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, INTERNET SEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM HAS SURFACED MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OF THIS IGNITION CUTOFF DUE TO BAD ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE SWITCH. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE RECENTLY STRANDED WITH OUR 1999 HONDA CIVIC GX. IT IS A NATURAL GAS VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER WE WERE REALLY WORRIED BECAUSE OF THE DIAGNOSIS. THEY SAID IT WAS A SHORT IN THE EMERGENCY SHUT OFF VALVE INSIDE THE NATURAL GAS TANK. A SHORT IS CAUSED BY ELECTRICITY TRAVELING THROUGH A ROUTE THAT IS NOT DESIGNED BY THE PART AND USUALLY RESULTS IN A SPARK. MY FAMILY FEELS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A CATASTROPHE AT THE NATURAL GAS STATION. IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER WE FILLED UP. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE PART IS NON-SERVICEABLE AND THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND THAT IT IS AN IRREPLACEABLE PART AND THAT THE ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE CHANGED WHICH IS QUITE EXPENSIVE. WE ALREADY CONTACTED HONDA DIRECTLY WITHOUT ANY RESOLVE. MY FAMILY AND I WISH TO DO ALL THAT WE CAN TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE OR DEATH TO ANY OTHER PARTIES OWNING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TWO MONTHS AGO MY SON'S 1999 HONDA CIVIC EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRE SHOP SAID THE VALVE STEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED THE STEM AT A COST OF $26.

HE SAID THE CAR SUDDENLY PULLED STRONGLY TO THE LEFT AND HE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I REMEMBERED SEEING INFORMATION ON A VALVE STEM RECALL LAST SUMMER AND GAVE MY SON INFORMATION ABOUT THE DILL VALVE STEM RECALL. THE VALVE STEMS WERE THE ONES MANUFACTURED AND RECALLED BY DILL, REF. ODI DEFECT INVESTIGATION EA08022. THE TIRE SHOP DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL AND THE HONDA DEALER THAT INSTALLED THE TIRES 2 YEARS AGO ALSO PLEADED IGNORANCE. AFTER FURTHER PERSISTENCE, MY SON WAS ABLE TO GET THE HONDA DEALER TO REPLACE ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS AND REPLACE THE TIRE THAT WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. HE IS STILL OUT $26 DUE TO THE FIRST VALVE STEM FAILURE WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE TIRE SHOP IF THE SPIRIT AND INTENT OF THE DILL VALVE STEM VOLUNTARY RECALL WAS BEING FOLLOWED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE VOLUNTARY RECALL BY DILL IS INADEQUATE AND NOT ACCOMPLISHING ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. ODI DEFECT INVESTIGATION EA08022 WAS PREMATURELY CLOSED. THE RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATED BY NHTSA AND BACKED UP BY THE LAW! THE TIRE COMPANIES ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE SPIRIT AND INTENT OF THE DILL VOLUNTARY RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC LX 4 DOOR VEHICLE ON A RETURN TRIP FROM BIRMINGHAM, AL TO ATLANTA, GA AND ABOUT 45 MINUTES INTO MY RETURN TRIP THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THAT ALTHOUGH THE 1/3 OF THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE IT DID NOT BLOW OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AN EXIT SAFELY. I THEN PROCEEDED TO A WALMART TIRE REPLACEMENT CENTER WHERE I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN IF THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME HE HAD SEEN THIS ISSUE WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AND THAT THE OTHER TIRE THAT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPLACEMENT HAD ONLY BEEN ON THE CAR FOR A FEW WEEKS (MY TIRE WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD). I CONTACTED FIRESTONE TO INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD ONLY TAKE ACTION IF I COULD MAIL THEM THE TIRE. I PROVIDED FIRESTONE THE CONTACT NUMBER FOR THE TIRE SHOP WHERE THEY COULD OBTAIN THE TIRE IF NEEDED FOR ANALYSIS (FIRESTONE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN OBTAINING THE TIRE). THE TIRE THAT WAS INVOLVED WAS AN FR 680.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A DEFECTIVE CVT TYPE TRANSMISSION. COMPLAINED TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IF I PAID $504 IN LABOR COSTS. ONE YEAR LATER THE TRANSMISSION DIED AGAIN, I NOW BELIEVE THEY ONLY FLUSHED OUT THE OLD TRANSMISSION I DOUBT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I COMPLAINED AGAIN AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT COST $80 JUST FOR THEM CHECK THE COMPUTER WHICH HAS BEEN DONE TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUSLY WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. HAD THE COMPUTER REPLACED AFTER SPLITTING THE COST WITH AMERICAN HONDA SO IT COST ME $396. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON, I WENT TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND HAD THE COMPUTER CODES READ FOR FREE THEY SAID IT WAS A MALFUNCTIONING O2 SENSOR, NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ANOTHER $260 EACH SENSOR PLUS LABOR TO CHANGE BOTH SENSORS. *JB

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE O2 SENSOR HAD GONE OUT. UPON FURTHER REVIEW, THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE MANIFOLD AND THAT I WOULD COST ABOUT $1000 TO REPAIR. MY HUSBAND PAID $190 TO HAVE THE O2 SENSOR REPLACES BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE O2 SENSOR MAY FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THE CRACK. THE MECHANIC STATES THAT WHEN HE PHONED A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO OBTAIN A PRICE QUOTE ON THE PARTS THE LADY WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE FINISHED HIS SENTENCE. THE MECHANIC ALSO SAID TO ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE SEEN IN HONDA VEHICLES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AS THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AT DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS OTHER MECHANIC SHOPS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED AT HONDA'S EXPENSE. *JB

ON 4/12/06 AT 153,000 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY HUSBAND TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE O2 SENSOR HAD GONE OUT. MY HUSBAND PAID $300+ TO HAVE THE O2 SENSOR REPLACED. UPON FURTHER REVIEW, THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE MANIFOLD AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $1000 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THEY SEE WILL HONDAS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT WHEN HE CALLED A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET A PRICE ON THE PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE LADY WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE FINISHED HIS SENTENCE. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY HONDA AS $1000 IS A LOT TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HONDA SHOULD FIX. *NM

1. MY SON DROVE THE 99 HONDA CIVIC EX ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND MERGED INTO THE MAIN STREET. MY SON PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION BUT IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CROSSED THE INTERSECTION AND HIT THE TREE ACROSS THE STREET. 2. EVEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, CAR ACCELERATED IT SELF AND COULD NOT STOP THE CAR ON TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE TREE. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURIES. 3. CAR HAD EXTENSIVE FRONTAL AND ENGINE DAMAGE AND CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. *JB

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MADE A RIGHT TURN AT A STOP LIGHT AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED. I NEARLY GOT HIT, AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE STATION ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE IT DIED. THEY REPLACED THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND COIL IN IT. THIS ALL COST ME $710. THEN 4 DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A LOCAL ROAD BY HOME AND THE CAR JUST QUIT ON ME AGAIN. I HAVE SOMEONE LOOKING AT IT AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE TPS BUT THAT'S NOT IT. THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT FOR THAT A FEW YEARS AGO. MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM AGAIN?

THE TREAD APPEARS TO HAVE JUST FALLEN OFF THE TIRE. WHAT TREAD WAS LEFT ON TIRE IS IN GOOD SHAPE. SO WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT LACK OF CARE ON INSURED'S PART. INSD HAS THE PHYSICAL TIRE IN HER POSSESSION.

DRIVERS POWER SEAT RECLINES ON IT'S OWN EVERY TIME I TURN OFF THE CAR. IT IS NOT BECAUSE I HIT IT WITH MY LEG. IT DOES NOT DO IT UNTIL I TURN OFF THE CAR, EXIT THE CAR, AND CLOSE THE DOOR. THEN I CAN WATCH THE SEAT RECLINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A CHILD SEAT BEIND THE DRIVER, AND THE REC LINING SEAT CRUSHED HER LEG CAUSING SEVERE BRUISING AND MUCH PAIN. HONDA CLAIMS THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS, BUT I FIND REFERENCES TO IT ON WWW.

I HAVE A 99 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE. MY TRANSMISSION STARTED HOLDING OUT GOING INTO SECOND GEAR, AND HAD A SMALL JERK. WHEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT HARD BACK INTO 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GAVE UP ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE TRANY WOULDNT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR, AND WHEN IT DID, IT WOULD QUICKLY SHIFT BACK DOWN, AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO REV AT A HIGH RPM. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY COULDNT HELP ME. I HAD MY CAR PUT IN THE SHOP, AND MY TRANY REBUILT. COST ME $1200. I WAS READING A CHAT FORUM, AND HAVE DISCOVERED A TON OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVEING TROUBLE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS IN THEIR HONDAS'!!

I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC EX SEDAN. MY CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WENT OUT WHILE ROLLING IT DOWN AND STUCK HALFWAY. AFTER TAKING THE DOOR PANEL OFF AND LOOKING AT IT, THE PLASTIC HOLDING THE WIRES IN IT HAD SPLIT AND THE WIRES WERE RUBBING CAUSING THEM TO FRAY. MY HUSBAND SWITCHED THAT REGULATOR OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THE PASSENGER OVER TO THE DRIVER SO THAT I COULD AT LEAST USE MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THAT WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. NOW I AM STUCK WITH TWO FRONT WINDOWS THAT WILL NOT ROLL DOWN. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO FIX THEM AND THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MOTOR. IT WILL COST $265 TO REPLACE WHEN YOU INCLUDE LABOR.
