Honda Civic

"Steering wheel would jerk involuntarily after an alignment"

"Steering became stiff at 36000 miles. Cost would have been 6000.00 to repair steering system. Honda took care of 80% of cost. It was fixed for 850.00"

"I've purchased my tires and service work from dealership. Tires wear uneven, I've had tires rotated, balanced as service recommended"

"Original 12V battery failed around the 8 or 9 month mark and was replaced by the dealer under warranty. That battery then failed within a year and was also replaced by the dealer under warranty."

"Power steering failed attributed to need to replace the electrical components"

"This happened suddenly, after not driving the vehicle for two days. The vehicle started but every warning light came on and the power steering did not work (and thus it could not be driven safely). After having it towed to a Honda dealership the diagnosis was that a mouse or other rodent had chewed through the power steering wiring, which is located near the bottom of the engine bay and is coated in soy-based insulation which tastes good to rodents. This matched what internet searches had also highlighted as the most likely cause of the issue. Fixing the issue required a new wiring harness. Total cost for towing the vehicle, having the harness replaced, and having it wrapped with rodent-repelling tape (laced with capsaicin oil) was around $450. This is apparently a somewhat well-known issue with Hondas from this time period."

"sun visors hang even when in the stored position and require a slam up to get them to stay"

"Fading and chalking"

"Car dings very easily and paint cracks from just normal wear and tear"

"Under engine splash panel came loose and my wife it dragged all the way home until I could remove it and get dealer to replace the damaged panel"

"The fuel pump for my model year is now on a recall and there are no Replacements available until the fall. But we were notified at the beginning of the year that this was an issue. This keeps me from driving long distance as I am afraid that the fuel pump will fail I have occasionally had trouble getting the car to start but for some reason the code is not stored and when I take it to the dealer they're not seeing the code the best I can do is take a picture of the dash when this happens."

"When having my wiring harness replaced (see the other report on this vehicle in this questionnaire), the dealership doing the work noticed a minor leak from a small gasket in the camshaft cover. This was replaced for around $100. No drivability or other issues resulted from this problem."

"It started with CV boot then while at HONDA getting repaired axel was out of stock. Honda had my car a week. I have all my paperwork on this car. For purchasing a new car I have never spent so much time in dealership, getting a car repaired."
