My list of problems.....
2k1 civic sedan lx with 40k miles (i think)
1. do your guys lights dim when u roll down the windows? (interior cabin lights as well as headlights)
2. my ac smells like a$$
3. my front left map light doesnt click in right
4. the rear rattles
5. one or more of the shox squeek
6. my transmission is slipping
7. oh and i get about 20-22 miles per gallon.....i drive pretty aggressively but not EXCESSIVE....on a good tank i'll hit 26 mpg......on ALL freeway miles i'll hit 30
i think thats it......also when does the standard warranty expire?....does it cover the tranny?

1) yes the lights will dim. You can get grouding wires to help with that
2) change the filter in your glove box
3) hmmm maybe try a new bulb??
4) the whole car rattles, get used to it...it blows
5) get new shocks
6) take it to honda to get it fixed. it will cost you though
7) hmm change your driving habits
8) 3 years or 36,000miles and yes it covers the tranny but you are out of warrenty

Rep Power: 812 Ha. Those are all normal problems. I have a list like that with real problems. Maybe your tranny is slipping, but probably cause you didn't change the fluid every 15K. As for mileage, I only get 22-24 mpg max, and that's after a MAJOR tuneup.

check your spark plugs
your shocks are probably blown
change your tranny fluids, if it's manual, you may need new clutch
time for a new battery?
we all rattle, get some dynamat, or something
