2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

PROBLEMS WITH KEYLESS ENTRY AND HEADLIGHTS. *MR THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY WORKED ON HIGH BEAM. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS FOR THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULD NOT HELP. THE KEYLESS ENTRY DID NOT WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER AND AFTER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK AGAIN. THE DOORS HAD TO BE OPENED AND LOCKED MANUALLY. THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK DUE TO A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT. *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WILL SQUEAK AND THE STRUTS WILL LEAK. THE FRONT STRUTS WERE REPLACED SEVEN TIMES BY THE DEALER.*AK

THE SRS LIGHT FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMES ON. WHEN IT IS ON, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES PREVIOUSLY. TWICE THEY RESET THE LIGHT, THE THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE MODULE. THE LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR A SHORT WHILE, BUT HAS SINCE COME BACK ON. IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT GOES OFF. IF NO ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT COMES ON. TODAY MY CAR IS BACK AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT TRYING TO FIX IT. LOOKING AT THE OTHER REPORTS HERE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RESEARCHED AND A RECALLED ISSUED AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ,THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE DRIVER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. *JB THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM ALSO RECURRED AND HAVE BEEN FIXED ON TWO OCCASIONS, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM REMAINED THE SAME. *SC *JB
