What Owners Say
"The rubber molding around the drivers window often pulls out of the track. It is easily pushed back into place but allows rainwater to seep in if the problem is left unattended."
Anonymous, NM (2011 Honda Civic Unsure Unsure)"The roof & trunk have lost the clear coat, causing fading & spotted paint which makes an otherwise nice vehicle look tired & unsightly."
Anonymous, NM (2011 Honda Civic Unsure Unsure)"Black color faded and looked blotchy. I had it repainted. About 5 years in the paint was so blotchy it was embarrassing. The paint looked like the car had been in a fire, but it had not."
Anonymous, NC (2011 Honda Civic DX 2.0-L 4 Cyl)""Honda Civic has Black Pearl color paint and fading (white ghosting) of the paint was readily visible on the side doors, engine hood, roof, and truck hood at mileage 119,391 on May 2017. Discovered that Honda had a paint recall on this model vehicle and Honda dealership, rather than painting it, outsourced the paint to Caliber Collision to repaint it, and they took nearly 3 weeks to complete the task. On Jan 2023, the same paint fade started to appear on the top of the side doors (mileage 149,925).""

"The front bumper connection to the body of the car will not stay attached and keeps flapping when the car is driven"
