2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN I TOOK IT TO BRADENTON HONDA FOR OTHER ISSUES, THEY CEHCKED IT, RESET THE COMPUTER AND SAID IF IT CAME ON AGAIN, TO BRING IT BACK IN. IT HAS COME ON AGAIN AND STAYS ON. IN REVIEWING YOUR COMPLAINTS, SEEMS IT IS AN INCREASING PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF HONDA. *NM

I REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE I-95 IN DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. MY AIR BAG DID NOT INFLATE TO PROTECT ME. I SUFFERED SERIOUS INJURIES AND WAS TAKEN BY PARAMEDIC TO PARKWAY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER WHERE I WAS ADMITTED THROUGH THE EMERGENCY ROOM. *JB

THE SRS LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY STAYS ON EVEN AFTER RESETTING. AFTER READING MANY EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES AND PROBLEMS, WILL ANYTHING BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. MY LOCAL DEALER CLAIMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY MY CELLULAR PHONE EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE MY PHONE IN MY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND TRY TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. *NM

THE SRS SYSTEM ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX DOESN'T WORK, WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON ALWAYS. *JB

OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS REPEATEDLY DISENGAGED, POPPING OUT OF GEAR DURING OPERATION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY SERVICED, BUT PROBLEMS CONTINUALLY RECUR. RECURRING SYMPTOMS: POPPING OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL,STICKING WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT INTO GEAR, SQUEAKING DURING SHIFT, AND SQUEAKING CLUTCH PEDAL. *JB

2001 HONDA CIVIC EX 5SP WITH 39,289 MILES STALLED WHEN ENGINE IS WARM. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND WHEN SHIFTED RPM'S IMMEDIATELY DROPPED AND ENGINE STALLED. THIS CREATED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AND AS LONG I KEPT GAS PEDDLE DEPRESSED THE ENGINE WOULDN'T STALL. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD THE ENGINE WOULDN'T STALL BUT DIDN'T IDLE PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY. CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY VERIFIED PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER BUT COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. DESCRIPTION OF WORK THEY PERFORMED WAS "UPDATED VEHICLE PCM WITH HIM". SINCE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING GOOD. HOWEVER, I'M CONCERNED THAT THEY CAN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HIGH PITCH NOISE WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THERE IS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER; THEY STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED ON REGULAR BASIS. *AK

I WENT TO HONDA DEALER TO CHANGE AN AIR FILTER FOR MY WIFE HONDA CIVIC 2001. THEN I FOUND OUT THE AIR CLEANER CASE CRACKED. SO, I WENT BACK TO HONDA DEALER AND TOLD THE SERVICES MANAGER. THE SERVICES MANAGER KNEW WHAT CAUSES THE AIR CLEANER CASE TO CRACK BECAUSE ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2003, HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN 03-061. SINCE, HONDA KNOW WHAT CAUSES THE AIR CLEANER CASE TO CRACK, HONDA SHOULD RECALL ALL AIR CLEANER CASE FOR MODEL 2001 CIVIC TO AVOID INJURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *JB

OUR 2001 HONDA CIVIC WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD -ON COLLISION YESTERDAY AND THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY - CRASH SPEED WAS ABOUT 25-30 MPH. PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. *JB

ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE BEEN WEARY TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. *NM
