Rep Power: 278 Only a glove box rattle (fixed) and a slight notchy transmission (fixed with moly lube) so far on my 02 EX. Runs like hot butter now
No other squeaks and rattles yet, but I really don't beat on my car. (much)

Rep Power: 260 My dash rattles like a crack ***** hurting for her next fix. It's on 02ex and it's really starting to drive me nuts. I'm about to rip the entire dash apart to find the problem. It only has 26k miles on it too.
Seat problem? Can't you just tighten the mounting bolts? I had my seats out when I did my wiring for my amp and new speakers. I put them back in, and I've never had a problem yet ---- knock on wood.
My front right strut on my car went at like 22k. Honda replaced it for free.
anyone find the cause of the rattles in the dash? Where it is? or what can be done? I honestly can't stand it. I crank my music to drown it out, but that gets old on long road trips. I despise rattles so much. Mine seems to be somewhere above the radio area. Or on the left side of the glovebox.

Rep Power: 273 I have a 2001 Sedan . And it has been flawless except for the struts that were replaced cause they were leaking... Other than that I think the car is perfect.
I think most people are complaining and thinking the 7th gen's are so bad is because they are reading a forum full of problems.. go buy a sunfire you will run back to a civic ASAP =P

As for al the dash problems ppl keep having, I just slap the dash whereever it rattles a few times, and it goes away after a few slaps. I'm more concerned about the passenger side power window motor in my sedan.

Rep Power: 314 I'm sure I'm not the only person with the problem, but the window doesnt seem to have enough juice to get the window up. If I have the car on, the window will come up faster compared to having the car off..... but it's still slower than all the other windows in the car.

Rep Power: 249 For me, I don't have the noisy clutch, although where the clutch starts to engage it's set at the old lady softness level by design.
The A/C is actaully pissing me off because when I run it, I feel a rattle, and I know that ain't good at all. Like, at idle, i feel kind of a rhythmic bump from the bay, even though the belts and such are in good shape. anyone else have that problem?
I DO have the seat wobbling on me. Anyone know how to fix it?

Rep Power: 294 I just rode in an '04 vette, and guess what, the seat was wobbly too. They just don't make cars with the integrity that they used to.
My g/f has an '04 EX and two pieces of the interior paneling have fallen off. I mean just came off as she was driving down the road. Sad...
