My key would come out of the ignition while not in park, the vehicle sometimes does not fully go into park unless forcefully pulled back into park so sometimes the vehicle wouldn't be in park all night or while in public parking lots. My honda made key had to go into the ignition facing perfectly one way to start the car then the ignition completely refused the key and wouldn't turn once it accepted it. While i was…

I was stopped at a light with my r foot on the break. Suddenly the car went into an uncontrolled acceleration. I could hear the engine revving. In a few seconds, it hit the car directly in front of me and stopped upon impact but if that car hadn't been there i would have been propelled into a busy intersection with crossways traffic. It was like a nightmare. This was at a very busy city street intersection at a busy…

Manual transmission honda civic lx 2004 reaches rattling/grinding noise when reached 2000 rpm or so. The noise is loud and downshifting becomes very rough. The car slows down when not pressing accelerator. Even when in neutral the car sounds with a rattle. Only when the clutch is pressed does the sound minimize. Car feels vulnerable when driven like this. It's mainly due to the noise, and feeling of the car. The…

I have to press the gear in slowly to get it into gear at times. This has caused me difficulties in traffic & when gearing down to turn or stop. Almost rear ended at times due this. A transmission mechanic told me he has had so many 2004 civics in for the transmission…

I tested it against my 00 civic and 3 other cars. My civic was consistently off on trips over 20 miles. The first dealer could not duplicate it just driving around the block. I took it there 4 times within the first couple of months. I also had…

Problems with an opaque film that developed on the windows while driving. *mr (inside of the windows) the problem was suggested to be the result of polymer vapors out gassing from the plastics used for the vehicles interior. This film would obstruct the consumer vision almost completely blinding the consumer at night or during sunlight. Honda suggested that this was normal and there is nothing they could do to…
