2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THE VEHICLE GAUGE CLUSTER READS THE WRONG INFORMATION. IT CAUSED ME TO STALL ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 65 MPH. I COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF FUEL AND THE GAUGE READ THAT I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK LEFT. OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. THE FUEL, MPH, AND TEMPERATURE READINGS ARE ALL OFF. *TR

HONDA CIVIC GX CNG FUEL TANK VALVE FAILURE, CAUSING THE CAR TO LEAVE YOU STRANDED FOR HOURS. CAR WOULD NOT START OR RUN, ONLY AFTER TRYING IT 10+ TIMES. *TR

MY SPOUSE AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY AND APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER WE GOT ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 60MPH AND I WAS TRYING TO MAINTAIN THAT SPEED BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WAS DROPPING BUT THE RPM GAUGE WAS GOING UP. I SHIFTED BACK AND FORTH FROM D TO D3 A FEW TIMES AND THE CAR POPPED BACK INTO GEAR. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE NEXT FREEWAY EXIT AND GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. PARKED IT AND THEN HAD IT TOWED. *TR

COMPLAINT: SPENT $4000 TO COMPLETELY REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION AT 96,800 MILES LAST SPRING AND AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME EARLY SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE A YEAR LATER. THERE WAS NO ENGINE/WARNING LIGHT TO WARN ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL MY CAR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS, STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE AND WAS RUNNING ROUGHER THAN NORMAL. I?M LUCKIER THAN A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THIS ISSUE BEFORE MY TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF MY CAR OR STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING. I THINK IF 600+ PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT A VERY OBVIOUS ENGINE FAILURE, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM CURRENTLY SHOWING EARLY SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS GETTING STUCK WHILE SWITCHING GEARS AND HAVING ISSUES ACCELERATING IN BETWEEN THE GEARS. AND IS JUST GENERALLY RUNNING ROUGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION IN A HONDA AT 96,800 MILES LET ALONE AGAIN AT 124,000 AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR. MY CAR WAS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH LAST SPRING WHEN I FIXED IT BUT CHOOSE TO DO IT THINKING I?D BE SET FOR THE REST OF THE CAR?S LIFE. NOW I?M LOOKING AT HAVING TO SELL IT FOR SCRAPS AND GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE I CAN NOT SHELL OUT ANOTHER $4,000 TO FIX A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. *JB

2001 HONDA CIVIC, WITH 163,000 MILES ON IT AND REGULARLY SERVICED, LAST TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 150,000. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE REV'S BUT NO MOTION, GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVER TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF IT. CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FOR $4,000.00. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 160,000 MILES. THEN I SEE ON HERE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS ON THE HONDA CIVIC. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR HONDA TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEM. *JB

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DEFECTIVE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS SON WAS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. ON MAY 10, 2013, HIS SON WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. A MONTH AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, INFORMING HIM OF A DEFECT IN THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH COULD PRODUCE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE UPON DEPLOYMENT. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, BOTH AIR BAGS FAILED; THE DRIVER'S SIDE DIDN'T OPEN ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY FIXED BY THE DEALER, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE OPENED WITH SO MUCH PRESSURE THAT IT BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A FIRE INSIDE THE VEHICLE.
