My car will not open which causes a huge concern because if i go out, then i have to leave a door unlocked because it's not guaranteed that i can get into my car again and people could potientially think that i am trying to break into my own car. When i drive, the locks unlock and lock again while driving. This started getting worse after i got an oil change and as i was in the parking lot pulling out, my car…

Horn randomly going off, while stationary and while driving. Its a steady beep as if someone is laying on the horn. This past saturday the horn was going off for hours until i returned home. I had to get in the car and tap the steering well and it stopped. It went off again this morning. A mechanic said that its the airbag pushing pressure on the horn. This has been going on a month or so.

Air conditioning compressor went at 82,000 miles. The internet says this is a common problem that honda should make good on. It was a $491.31 repair bill for me.

Passenger side sun visor where attached to clamp on to hinge mechanism has come apart. The little teeth that are inside are thin plastic and have broken off. Visor can only stay in the straight up and down position, and cannot be used on the side window because it bounces and is unstable. This was not the result of any accident. For some reason it won't let me add the pictures, but i can email them to you if tell me…

The horn beeps (like that of an alarm) as soon as i start the car until i turn it off. The honda dealership needs more than $135.00 just to open the hood. Nobody else will touch it. I had the horn disconnected and now have nothing!

I bought a set of four(4) dextero dtr1 205/55/r16 tires in february 2017. Within a year 3 of the 4 tires had rot on the inside wall, which was not visible, and the tire blew up while driving it. While researching this problem i learned that other dextero dtr1 model tires have been found to have the exact same defect my tires had, but because my tire is a different size tire it is not part of the recall. Since my…

Defective engine mount causing loud vibration when starting car in cold temperatures. 57k miles, no abnormal use. In searching the internet, this seems to be a common problem for honda civics in the mid-late 2000s, likely manufacturing/design problem.

I am having an ongoing problem where my vehicle suddenly begins to rev up and accelerate forward. This issue first happened in february 2017. I was in a fast-food drive thru with my foot on the brake (automatic transmission). The engine began to rev up to 3000 rpms. I shifted into park which caused it to rev at 5000. At that point, i shut off the car. I started it again and the car was fine. I contacted honda of…

I have had to have the sun visor/airbags on my 2008 honda civic replaced 3 times because something keeps popping in them. Honda replaced the first 3 times under warranty. The fourth time it popped, honda said that they were out of warranty and they would not replace them for free. I feel honda should still be responsible for the replacements, as they keep replacing the sun visors with the same old crappy ones that…

Paint on my navy blue civic is deteriorating on the trunk, hood and roof. Also my passenger sun visor is broke. It looks like it melted and cracked for no apparent reason. There have been many complaints about paint peeling and chipping . You would think that honda would take responsibility for the problem.

I immediately parked the car and the next day had it towed to a honda dealership. Upon inspection, the water pump seized up. The pulley and lock bolt holding the serpentine belt had practically fallen off. This was confirmed by a honda dealership…

The visors broke in july 2015 and cracked; they cannot be used. I was able to return the driver side visor to the upright position; however, the passenger visor does not return to the upright position and often is bothersome to passengers. When honda was contacted in october 2015 i was informed that i had received a recall notice in may 2011. I did not purchase the car until october of that year. I was also informed…
