Honda Civic

"This was a normal wearing issue."

"I initially noticed when parking that the front wheels seemed not to be turning freely. I ultimately got out of the car and felt the wheels in the middle, and discovered they were slightly hot. I took the car on the freeway for a couple of miles, and they got very hot. I knew the brakes were sticking because I'd had the same problem nearly 40 years earlier on the first car I bought (used), very soon after I bought it. This was an expensive repair, nearly $800 for both front brakes (the rear brakes did not have this problem)"

"After a routine replacement of brake pads, the brakes were not operating normally. It was determined that the brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced."

"Water leak through door when it would rain and it caused very wet carpet and led to mold. Took over a year to figure out the issue."

"Visor broken again after recall"

"A couple months ago I kept hearing a strange sound when driving on the freeway. It wasnt a metal sound. Then when I got off the freeway & started to drive through the backstreets to home I heard this terrible thumbing & it felt like I went over a large board or something, so I pulled over. I looked back at the road & this huge black rubbery mass was sticking up across the road. Fortunately, no one was behind me & I was able to move it off the road & get it into my trunk. The underneath covering of my car had come off, just one part of it, but it was still quite large. Had that happened on the freeway it would have caused a very serious accident."

"The car shut down while being driven in October 2022 and had to be towed to garage. The starter cable was repaired. The tensioner assembly was then replaced as well as the tensioner bolt. Car was collected on November 4th, 2022. On 27th March 2023 car broke down and was wrecked to the Garage, the Belt Tensioner was again replaced and collected March 29th 2023. On August 14th a noise now familiar was detected and car returned to Garage where the Serpentine Belt was removed and a new one installed. I was informed that the car cannot be repaired. In November 3023 I again heard the noise and the car cut off, I consulted another Garage who informed me after checking the engine that a new one was required."

"significant oil leak due to head gasket"

"sun visor broken after recall"

"Started about one year ago. Various spots on the body where paint is fading and/or fallen off."

"engine mount failed causing excessive vibration , rough ride and noise"

"The dashboard lights are buggy (various portions fail to light, like missing bulbs) and the fuel gauge (which is digitally represented) misrepresents the balance of fuel in the tank. We were told this is a "classic" problem for Honda Civics of the era (by a number of mechanics at different shops) and requires you to replace the control board for the dash, which has to be done by a dealership because of the coding and odometer data (stored in the unit; has to be coded into the new unit by the dealer or your odometer - which is digital - will misrepresent your mileage). Fairly expensive fix that doesn't always work. It didn't for us. The whole dash will properly light up now but the fuel gauge is still weird and unreliable. Have to go by miles driven."

"Good service but clutch made 133000 before replacement."

"The civic has so many miles on it that most all of these problems have experienced are due to normal wear and tear. We had to replace the fuel pump in my only complaint about that is how much it cost to do that. It cost us over $900 to have it replaced and one of the reasons because the fuel pump is located in the gas tank so the mechanic had to drop the gas tank and go through all of that and so it just took a long time and it was expensive"

"The relay that controlled the air conditioning compressor failed."

"Starter went bad and had to be replaced"
