2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

WINDSHIELD: EACH TIME A STONE HITS THE WINDSHIELD, THE WINDSHIELD CHIPS/CRACKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN 2 YEARS. I ACCEPT ONE OR TWO TIMES BUT SIX?*JB BODY OF THE CAR: THE BODY DENTS FREQUENTLY. THIS OCCURS IF A STONE OR ANOTHER CAR DOOR HITS THE CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT THE BODY IS DAMAGED SO EASILY.

THE FRONT STRUTS EXPERIENCED PREMATURE FAILURE, WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH GETTING HOT AND BURNING THE WIRE. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND WIRING ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB

DRIVER SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH UNDER NORMAL USE. I'VE NOW HAD THIS REPAIRED TWICE, ONCE AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES. THE SECOND TIME, A NOTE WAS ON THE RECEIPT NOTING A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT NOT WHAT IT SAID. BOTH TIMES, PAPERWORKS SAYS BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE IDEA OF OWNING A CAR THAT HAS DRIVER SEAT BUSHINGS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT EVERY 10,000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM NOTED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 01057 OF THIS SITE.

LEFT FRONT STRUT IS LEAKING, MY CAR VIBRATES SO SEVERELY THAT I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. THERE ARE NO STRUTS IN THE USA - ON CRITICAL BACK ORDER. MY DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN NOTICEABLE QUANTITIES OF THIS PROBLEM. THE 2001 CIVIC HAS A NEW SUSPENSION SYSTEM IN IT, AND IT IS FLAWED IN MY OPINION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK, AND DOES MOSTLY INTERSTATE DRIVING. *NLM

REAR WINDSHIELD BLEW OUT COMPLETELY WHILE MY CAR (HONDA CIVIC 2001) WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD/CAR. THERE WERE NO PRIOR DINGS, CRACKS, HOLES, OR DAMAGE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 70 DEGREES. *JB

WARRANTY PARTS NOT BEING PROVIDED IN TIMELY MANNER. FRONT STRUTS ARE BOTH LEAKING. *NLM

THE CONSUMER FOUND THE TIRES ONLY HAD A FEW HUNDRED MILES LEFT TO GO BEFORE HE WOULD NEED TO GET NEW TIRES. FIRESTONE FR690 TIRE EQUIPMENT. MR SCC *JB

THE VEHICLE JUMPED ON BUMPY ROADS AS WELL AS SMOOTH ROADS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW STRUTS, HOWEVER THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH. NEITHER THE FRONT DRIVER NOR PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. *NLM *TT
