To add to the above..

It looks like the TSB's in the lists I have are still online. Just paste this into a new browser: http://www.nhtsa.com/TSBScans/sbXXXXXX.pdf and simply replace the XXXXXX part with the corresponding TSB number from the list. I suggest you download them while you can!

Well, not ALL civics have the problems mentioned above.

I have a few, but definetely not 210+

None of the problems look "critical" you know? I'm sure that Ford's list is quadruple the size!

Japanese Automotive Engineering = #2 (After German & Italian...)

Hey guys,

I am having a problem with the transmission on my 02 LX and its really hard to shift. 2nd gear grinds when its cold. There is a TSB for NHTSA but its for the 2001 and honda claims the 02 is not affected. They say its fine but my roomie has the identical car as mine and shifts and clutch feel is way different. I want to show them this and force some warranty out of them but I cant get access to the alldata TSB, does anyone have a copy of it?

[Boilermaker1]

"1. My "Main't Req" (Maintenance Required) light blinks / is constantly on?
Please post an answer
"

If I remember this right,
Push the trip odometer reset, turn the key until the dash lights all come on (don't start it)
Hold it until the Maint Reqd. Light shuts off.
Turn the key off and take your finger off the button.

hi,

I have door rattling problem. My car is 30000km now (not mile). I locate in Canada. Can I just go to any dealer in Canada and tell them to fix it? do I have to show them the TSB? will those TSB apply to Canada?

thanks

If the TSB is up on the first post, yes. Print it out and the dealership will fix it without questions. TSB applies to Canada also.

[AzNmiKex215]

heres a list from alldata.com

[Handsonme]

Fawk. My car is doomed.
It only had the fuel pump recall fixed. I believe my car has other problems. I am going to the dealer to get something fixed later this month anyway; perhaps I will check my stuff out before I go.

[AzNmiKex215]

wheres the picture of the list of TSB's? i tried checking the website but it seems like you have to pay them like 40 bucks!!!.. and the other website is free alldata.com but doesnt show all of the TSB.

all cars..... the majority of our problems are minor though.

At least our engines don't randomly catch on fire!

This is the first time I have seen a TSB for the stalling/idling problem... courtesy of Pharoh :

[johnnyslil01ex]

John

[orion_squall]

I find honda dealers good...

as long as you are in the guarantee periode you can just go and tell them to fix anything

[ThermalRD]

Those are interesting. Does anybody know if something like this exists for my 02-03 civic Si? I have the crazy rattling, vibrating BS when i drive in rain, and thru puddles. Exactly like what was mentioned in the original post. Except i have an Si? Should i try to explain this to the dealer? Im a little leary of this, because i also have a cat back exhaust on my car. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Matt

[Rufus]

does anyone have access to the TSB's for the O3 EX Coupe US model. If anyone has them download already shoot me a PM.

[REDchirp]

so wait wait.... for the mods or whoever???? i have the suspension noise rattle problem.... so what do i do to get it fixed for free/???? thanks

[ThermalRD]

I solved my rattle problem. I started by going to the subaru dealer, then i sold the civic. Then i sold the exhaust. Now im selling my zigen wheels. I drove home a 2004 WRX. No more exhaust problem.
