THE CAR ONLY HAS 50K ON IT AND TALKING TO OTHER HONDA OWNERS IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM.

9/28/04 - ON THIS DAY I HAVE TAKEN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX TO THE DEALER FOR THE 5TH TIME TO DEAL WITH THE SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON. OVER THE FIRST 4 TIMES THEY HAVE REINITIALIZED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE COMPUTER COMPONENT. THEY INFORMED ME THEY WERE ON THE PHONE WITH THEIR "TECH SUPPORT" PEOPLE ALL MORNING. THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY COULD COME UP WITH IS TO REPLACE THE SEAT BACK. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY FEATURE AS IT COULD LEAD TO MYSELF OR A PASSENGER BEING SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IN A CRASH. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS, AS I HAVE NOTICE THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE WEBSITE.*AK

SRS WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AFTER CAR WAS PARKED AT WORK ALL DAY. (ALSO SHORTLY AFTER WORK WAS DONE ON MY CAR FOR THE HEADLAMP RECALL) CALLED HONDA DEALER TO MAKE APPT AND ASKED IF AIRBAGS WOULD BE WORKING IF LIGHT WAS ON AND WAS TOLD YES. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY RESET IT. $80 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. APPROX 2.5 DAYS LATER, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED DEALER TO COMPLAIN. THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR FOR APPROX $400. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. GOT CALL FROM DEALER AS CAR WAS BEING WORKED ON. THE REPAIR WILL REQUIRE TWO SENSORS AND $800. WAS TOLD WHILE WARNING LIGHT IS ON, MY AIRBAGS DON'T WORK. *AK

AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEREBY THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT. THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR GAVE WAY AND THE CONSUMERS BODY WAS THROWN FORWARD. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE MASS PIKE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED IN FRONT OF ME I WAS UNABLE TO STOP QUICKLY ENOUGH. I SQUARELY REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SRS LIGHT WAS NOT ON PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT, BUT SUSTAINED SEVERE NECK AND BACK INJURIES FROM THE ACCIDENT. THE AUTOBODY EXPERT WHO FIXED MY VEHICLE REPORTED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. ALSO, HONDA AMERICA TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND IF THE SRS LIGHT IS NOT ON CONSTANTLY, THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY NOT TRUE. *AK

I DRIVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ONE DAY I WAS STANDING AT A LIGHT WAITING TO TAKE A LEFT TURN. AS THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE, I SPED UP AND SHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR.*AK AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, SUDDENLY THE GEAR SLIPPED AND SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE UNDER ACCELERATION. I QUICKLY SHIFTED BACK INTO FIRST AND SPED AWAY. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT THIS IS A FREQUENTLY OCCURING PROBLEM. I AM VERY CAREFUL WHEN I AM AT AN INTERSECTION OR TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY FROM AN ENTRY RAMP. I FOUND THAT THIS IS BECAUSE OF A MALFUCTION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE BUSHES TO THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CABLE. HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BUT I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE AT LOW SPEEDS IN SECOND GEAR AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE. CAUSES PROBLEMS AT INTERSECTIONS, YIELD SIGNS AND EXIT RAMPS. HIGHWAY ON RAMPS IS A PLACE TO CONSISTENTLY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AS YOU TRY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I CHECKED WITH OTHER OWNERS OF MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. AN ACQUAINTANCE WHO BOUGHT THE CAR IN THE SAME QUARTER ALSO REPORTS THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFO ABOUT SERVICE BULLETIN

2001 HONDA CIVIC EX, SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. CODE 15-3. OPD SYSTEM SENSOR WAS REPLACED 9/21/01 UNDER WARRANTY. LIGHT WENT BACK ON A SHORT TIME LATER. SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD MY DAUGHTER THAT IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, BECAUSE THIS LIGHT SOMETIMES WENT ON FOR NO REASON. UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID NOT EXPLAIN THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT WITH THE LIGHT ON SINCE 2001. (SHE ASSUMED IT WAS ONLY A DUMMY LIGHT, LIKE "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"). YESTERDAY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED $79 TO DIAGNOSE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND WANT $810 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS MORNING, I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET (WWW.AUTOFAN.COM/FORUM) AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA, AND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, IT SEEMS AS IF A NEW SENSOR WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SINCE OTHER OWNERS REPORT ADDITIONAL FAILURES EVEN WHEN THE ORIGINAL SENSOR IS REPLACED. I AM VERY CONCERNED, I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

UPON COLD START, THE SRS LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE AND REMAINED ON WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

WHILE GOING ABOUT 40MPH HIT BRAKES AND THEY LOCKED UP WHICH CAUSED ME TO SLIDE INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHICH THEN ALSO CAUSED ME TO SLAM AGAINST THE STERING WHEEL WHICH BROKE ALL OF THE FRONT DASH BECAUSE OF SUCH HARD IMPACT FROM MY BODY MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH CAUSED NECK AND BACK INJURIES ALSO HAD SOME DEEP GASHES FROM MY FORHEAD TO MY ANKLES. IF I HAD A AIRBAG DEPLOY I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO INJURED WHY MY BRAKES LOCKED I DON'T KNOW! *AK

PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE EQUIPMENT ON 2001 HONDA CIVI LX.*MR THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE BRAKES GRABBING. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT HE VEHICLE NEEDED A REAR WHEEL CYLINDER BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING. BOTH REAR WHEEL CYLINDER'S WERE REPLACED. EIGHT MONTHS LATER THE VEHCILE WAS STILL EXHIBITING BRAKE PROBLEMS. THIS TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER TESE REPAIRES THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS 2000 MILE LEFT UNDER THE WARRANY. *NM

THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS. THE BEGINNING OF JUNE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (HONDA INTERNATIONAL) WEST ROXBURY,MA AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE BASIC 3YR WARRANTY. I AM NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE 3 YR. WARRANTY BECAUSE I AM OVER THE MILEAGE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO TWO MECHANICS AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE COVERED LONGER THAN 3 YRS AND MY TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE GOOD UP UNTIL AT LEAST 150,000. BEFORE NEEDING SERVICE IF REQUIRED.*AK

THE FRONT SUSPENSIONS FAILED PREMATURELY FOR A 3 YEAR OLD CAR. BOTH STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT COVER BY WARRANTY AFTER 3 YEARS.*AK

1) NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT FREQUENTLY THE SIDE OF MY RIGHT FOOT HITS THE ACCELERATOR WHILE PUTTING THE BRAKES ON; PART OF MY LARGE FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE - PART LANDS ON THE ACCELERATOR. (I AM 6' 1" TALL). DEALER HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. I DO FEEL THIS REPRESENTS A HAZARD TO MY CAR AND OCCUPANTS, AS WELL AS TO OTHERS. MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO GET RID OF THE CAR TO A SHORT PERSON. (THE REQUIRED DATE BELOW IS INVALID AND IRRELEVANT.)*AK

DURING THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON 5 TIMES FOR MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX. THE DEALERSHIP HAS GIVEN ME A STORY FROM CELL PHONES TO BAGS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERYTIME. I HAVE NOTED ON YOUR WEBSITE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON HONDA CIVICS. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR SAFETY MEASURES.

DURING MY SONS VEHICLE ACCIDENT (HEAD ON WITH PINE TREE) THE AIR BAGS FAILED. I CONTACTED THE MANURFACTURER AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. THEY BOTH SAY THAT THE OTHER COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FAILURE. SINCE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WILL REQUIRE AN ENGINEER TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE MODE, THIS WOULD BE THE MANURFACTURE'S ISSUE. HOWEVER THEY SAY NO AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE OR ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENT STATING THEIR POSITION. CAN YOU PROVIDE THE INFORMATION ON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?*AK
