2000 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

ROLL OVER AND HEAD ON COLLISION OF VEHICLE BUT NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. NUMEROUS COMMENTS ON INTERNET ABOUT AIRBAGS LACK OF DEPLOYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY ARE NON RESPONSIVE TO INSPECT THE AIRBAGS AND TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE FAULTY. I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION AND WOULD LIKE IT PROPERLY INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

HONDA CIVIC 2000 WITH 58,000 MILES WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT THE CAR USED - NOT ORIGINAL OWNER. DAUGHTER BOUGHT THE CAR ON SUNDAY NIGHT - RUSH JOB. DAUGHTER TOLD SALESMAN DURING TEST DRIVE SOMETHING WRONG. SALEMANS SAID THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT - WRONG. ANYWAY - DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION ON HONDA CAR AT 58,000 MILES. WHY? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE TIRES GRIP THE PAVEMENT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL APPEARS TO BE ELEVATED, CREATING DIFFICULTY WHEN THEY ARE DEPRESSED. THE RPMS RUN HIGH WHEN IDLING AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS DECELERATE WHILE IN MOTION. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SOON AFTER. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THE FAILURE MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM OR THE ACCELERATOR MAY BE STUCK. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 80,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

HONDA CIVIC EXHAUST MANIFOLD; AFTER OWNING A 2000 HONDA CIVIC FOR TWO YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE EXHAUST, OXYGEN SENSORS AND NOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. I BECAME UPSET AFTER THIS SERIES OF BURDENS ON ME, SO, I DECIDED TO CONDUCT RESEARCH ON-LINE. THUS, I FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS AND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM FELLOW HONDA CIVIC OWNERS. IT APPEARS CIVCIS CREATED BETWEEN 1992-2000 HAVE HAD DEFFECTIVE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CAUSING MANY CONSUMERS TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET A RESOLUTION THROUGH HONDA, THE MANUFACTURER. HONDA IS REVIEWING EACH VEHICLE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, RATHER THAN ADMITTING THAT THEIR PRODUCT, WIDESPREAD, IS DEFFECTIVE.

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS FOR THE 2000 HONDA CIVIC COULD BE OPENED BY USING ANY KEY. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED CONTACT THE DOOR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE WERE NO LONGER BEING USED, AND THE NEW LOCK SYSTEM THAT WAS BEING USED COULD NOT BE INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE POLICE DEPT INFORMED THE CONTACT THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS COULD BE OPENED BY USING ANY KEY. THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 55000 MILES. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED BRAKE FLUID LEAKED CAUSING THE BRAKES TO FAIL, AND NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE NON SERVICE DEALER DETERMINED THE BRAKE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2000 CIVIC VALUE PACKAGE WITH AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. RECENTLY THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME VERY HARD TO USE. IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO AND OUT OF PARK. THE REST OF GEAR RANGES WORKED NORMALLY. ONE TIME I HAD TO USE TWO HANDS TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE WAS WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CABLE WAS REPLACED AND IT NOW WORKS NORMALLY. TOTAL COST ABOUT $250 LABOR AND $50 FOR PARTS. *JB

2000 HONDA CIVIC EX LUG NUTS AND KEY GET VERY HOT AFTER DRIVING 10 MILES OR LESS. *KB THE CONSUMER WASN'T EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL AFTER SHE HAD SOME BRAKE WORK DONE. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER IT WAS NORMAL. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A BLISTER ON THE EXTERIOR SIDE OF THE BOTH FRONT TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE TIRE DEALER AND THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, #05T024000, REGARDING THE TIRE SIDEWALL. THE TIRE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE TIRE SIZE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED.

2000 HONDA CIVIC LX AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT HARD ON MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC LX WHICH HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT. THEN THE GEARS STARTED SLIPPING AND DELAYING, SO I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT (LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP). THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. WE JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN OUR OTHER HONDA (1997 HONDA ACCORD WITH 150,000 MILES) LAST WEEK, AND THIS PROBLEM WAS A HUGE SHOCK TO US. WE ARE REPLACING TWO HONDA TRANSMISSIONS WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD!!! I THINK THAT IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT A 2000 HONDA CIVIC WITH LESS THAN 73,500 MILES ON IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. OUR OTHER HONDA TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE, AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OUR CAR SLOWED DOWN SO RAPIDLY. FOR NOW, THE 2000 HONDA CIVIC LX WILL BE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL WE HAVE SAVED UP FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. *JB
