I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS LIGHT. I HAVE TALKED TO HOWARD NATHAN AT TURN TO 2 ( WDTN ) ABOUT THIS. THE PROBLEM STIMS FROM AN ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE ( CELL PHONE , LAP TOP ETC ) BUT IT WAS MY PHONE. I BOUGHT THE CAR ( 6/2/05 ) AND THE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY FIXED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER IT CAME BACK ON. THEY FIXED IT WELL IN THE SAME WEEK THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOLD THEM AND I SET UP AN APPT FOR WEDNESDAY ( 7/7 ) AND THEY TOOK IT TO HIDY HONDA. AFTER CHARGING THE DEALSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 80 BUCKS ALL THEY BASICALLY DID WAS DELETE THE CODE OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND NOPTHING ELSE. I EMAILED HOWARD NATHAN AND WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS.

DT: CONSUMER WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, SWERVED ,AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE OTHER VEHICLE. WHEN CONSUMER TURNED TO CHECK ON CHILD AFTER NEAR ACCIDENT HE FOUND THAT THE HARNESS THAT HELD THE CHILD IN THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT WAS NOT BUCKLED. CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND CHILD SAFETY SEAT WAS REAR FACING CHILD SEAT. IT WAS CONVERTIBLE. CHILD SAFETY SEAT WAS LOCATED IN REAR MIDDLE SEAT OF 2001, HONDA, CIVIC. *AK

MY SRS LIGHT KEEP COMING ON IN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX. THE LIGHT WAS REPLACED AT ~24,000 MILES IN 2003 AND IT HAS COME ON AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS THE OPS SENSOR (OPS SOMETHING) AND WILL BE CHARGING ME AGAIN TO REPAIR IT.

DT: HONDA 2001 LX CIVIC, THE FUEL GAGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, WHEN CONSUMER GOES TO FILL FUEL TANK THE GAS NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AFTER EACH GALLON OF GASOLINE IS PUT IN. CONSUMER KEEPS TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED, DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING CONSUMER THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, CONSUMER STILL HAS PROBLEM, NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED. *AK

SRS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND HONDA WON'T "FIX" IT. AIRBAGS DON'T WORK WHEN LIGHT IS ON AND CAR WILL NOT PASS VA STATE INSPECTION WITH LIGHT ON. HONDA CHARGES OVER $85.00 TO RUN DIAGNOSIS BUT EACH TIME FINDS NOTHING WRONG AND JUST RESETS THE LIGHT. WHY WON'T HONDA FIX THIS PROBLEM.

2001 HONDA CIVIC -- A/C HAS DIED. IT WORKED ON AND OFF FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, WAS TOLD IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR ($1400 JOB)... THEN IT JUST STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. ALMOST 4 YR OLD CAR, VERY WELL MAINTAINED - ABSOLUTELY ABSURD THAT THE A/C SHOULD BARELY LAST 4 YRS. HAVE WRITTEN TO HONDA USA, WAITING FOR A REPLY.

AIRBAG SRS LIGHT ALWAYS ON WHEN CAR IS RUNNING. CRUISE WON'T SET. A NON HONDA GARAGE TOLD ME WHAT WAS WRONG AND THEY FIXED IT. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SRS AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING . PART NUMBER 77900-S5A. IT'S JUST A RIBBON CABLE INSIDE AN ENCLOSURE ON THE STEERING COLOUM. I SEE THAT PROBLEM A LOT ON YOUR SITE AND NO DEFINATE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEM. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I DON'T THINK A SAFETY ITEM LIKE THIS SHOULD WEAR OUT BEFORE 60,000 MILES. THE WHOLE REPAIR WAS $269.
