Infact my '03 civic was more than all 8 of my previous car put together (or at leats their intial cost). You spend that kind of cash, it better be perfect. Honda should take care of you though.

Ok now i have developed another issue with this damn Civic...........I have replaced the left front wheel bearingonce at about 20k due to a lil grinding.........not too bad but sounded awful....now im at about 62k and hey hey low and behold it is doing it all over again.....just wondering if anyone else has had any bearing issues

after going thru this thread and reading I know I got a good car.
OK here are my problems with my 01 ex 96,000 mi
seat belt holder thingy fell off.
rear deck rattles with new stereo
wind noies( Louder stereo helped that one)
inside trunk lever lock broken
and just now the pass window motor died
I would have to agree that the plasic inside the car is cheap and crummy
but my civic is a far better car than any other domestic I have EVER owend
I have an 02 chevy avalanche that I also love but its a poorly built vehicle

so I will just keep on getting my 33 miles a gallon and only drive with one windo down with the stereo real loud
hell I do that most of the time anyway

my 04 only has some minor rattles and moonroof rattle. other then that it's been awesome and i don't really get any crazy wind noise either.

edit: oh yeah my interior trunk opener/lever broke too ^^^

I have an 05 and it has a really loud rattle coming from the roof liner above the right rear passenger head area. Also, the dealer installed alarm ALWAYS goes off when I open the door, even if I press the unlock button 100 times. The car only has 3200 miles on it, I wonde what will happen when it has 32000 miles.

I think that is where my rattle is coming from as well...the sunroof or liner. I'm not going to say anything until I take it in for the first oil change.

How about you...anything get done yet

baaa haaa my tranny just went out on my 01 last night. 92000 miles. woo hooo I love it guys. j/k I'm cool now. was very pist off but whatever..

for some reason i hear a click when my car comes to a full stop. i hear lots of posts that talk about a clicking clutch but i hear a clicking noise when i press the brake and reach a full stop.

also, i sometimes hear a buzzing noise when i turn the key in the ignition (and no, it's not because i turned the key further after the engine started)

one last thing, i feel like my fuel economy dropped and it seems like there's a loss of power....what to do? i only have 14,336 miles!

i have a very slow (stock) 5-speed '04 DX coupe by the way...

[streetglower]

damn some of you have bad problems. My only problem I have right now is I have a bad pedal vibration from braking that I think is caused by either the pads I have or my hubs have too much runout. Also I have a vibration at 50 MPH and above that I dont know where its coming from. But both of these are just from wear. No other problems though.

[ancientpimp]

got my car when it had 180k and its got too much road noise especially when its raining (its a civic so oh well) struts are leaking/ rattle on front driver dash and the tranny slips from 2nd to 3rd (auto btw) mostly during winter but disappears when engine warm or summertime. And now i have a cracked exhaust manifold and the passenger window motor died, BUT i have almost 240k on it already so i really shouldnt complain, he he!

[sik05civic]

my problems are a squeaky rear drum brake...it's caused by dust im sure but it wont go away no matter how much i clean it... the rear part of my roof liner vibrates but that's caused by 2 12's =) and the rear deck...same problem lol. i have the typical seat rock but as soon as it get's out of the shop ( i got rear ended ) it will go back to honda to get the seat rock fixed.

the cd player was starting to keep my cd's so that got replaced. my dome light has that annoying whine to it...i think our problems are MOSTLY caused by the owner's not taking care of it well enough. but thats just my opinion.

[02cvcdx]

i all the symptoms except sunroof cuz i have an ex passenger panel rattles, the right side of my driver seat leans back.. and wind/ oad noise...has anyone figured out how to fix any of these problems

[02cvcdx]

[james64]
