Engine and cooling system. Every part of the cooling system was checked and replaced including thermostat, water pump, timing belt, radiator, and all hoses.

Started car drove it to work, about a mile into drive engine stalled, car started to sputter, then stall again. Took to mechanic, it was a faulty ignition switch. 1997-2000 honda civic models were involved in a faulty ignition switch recall, i wonder if 2001 should have been included as well. *tr

The check engine light came on while we were on the highway. After checking the code and the fluids we continued driving with no issues.

We got into a head on collision with a suv receiving damage to the front of the car. None of the airbags deployed, but both deployed in the other car (suv). There were two recalls for our honda civic airbags in 2010 and 2013. In both recalls our honda civic was serviced and the "driver airbag inflator" was replaced. We were told the repairs were made, but the airbags never deployed. We do not want this to happen to…

I was traveling in neighborhood streets (30 mph speed limit), and without warning, the car's automatic transmission slipped out of gear and would not engage the engine again. Pressing on the gas pedal would only result in revving the engine, much like in neutral setting. The major key problem here is the transmission failed without any prior signs of distress, failure, warning and etc. I was lucky in that i was…

Upon entering expressway, going to change lanes - transmission totally failed. Nothing but engine reving when pushing on accelerator. No warning lights, nothing. Almost got killed due to truck having to stop as we coasted off highway. Upon having vehicle towed to dealer (honda lisle) and going on line i find that this is a very common occurrence for this vehicle and model year. Why has there not been a recall notice…

The right wheel began shaking making it difficult to drive. I took it to a mechanic who said the motor mounts had weakened and the motor was sitting on the axles. Has there been a recall on the motor mounts at any time? *tr

I was yet another unfortunate victim of honda's cheap transmission and i say cheap in that it doesn't work properly not that it is cheap to get it repaired. No that is over $2000 according to my local honda dealership. After taking such good care of my car diligently taking it in for oil changes and tune ups at honda's recommended mileage; i am severely disappointed. I had just pulled up to a busy stop light, when…
