2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

"TANAKA RECALL" 10/04/2009 MY SON WAS IN HIS AUTOMOBILES PASSENGER SEAT AND HIS FRIEND, WHO WAS DRIVING, WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO A GUARDRAIL. THIS HAPPENED ON ROUTE 8 AT EXIT 21 IN SEYMOUR , CT. THE CT. MEDICAL EXAMINER REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER HAD AN AIRBAG AND THAT MY SON DIDN'T IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE WERE INFORMED BY CELIA, OWNER OF OUR WEST HAVEN FUNERAL PARLOR, THAT OUR SON DIED IMMEDIATELY, HITTING THE TOP OF THE CAR NEAR THE SEAT BELT BRACKET. CELIA HAS A SPECIAL ENDORSEMENT WITH THE STATE OF CT. AND WORKS WITH THE STATES MEDICAL EXAMINER PERSONALLY. WE FEEL THAT OUR SON'S INJURIES/DEATH COULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IF HIS SIDE AND FRONT AIRBAG WORKED, PERIOD.

ON MARCH 12, 2016 MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING HOME TO SANTA CRUZ FROM OAKLAND ON HIGHWAY 880. WHILE STOPPED IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO MY WIFE AND MYSELF. WE HAD RECENTLY TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER, OCEAN HONDA IN SOQUEL, CALIFORNIA, AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE THAT THE AIR BAGS ON THE VEHICLE WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OUR CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED AS WAS THE CAR THAT HIT US. WHILE NONE OF OUR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK US ALL DEPLOYED. I'M NOT SURE ALL OF OUR INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED, BUT I'M SURE THE EXTENT OF OUR INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN LESSENED. I DON'T KNOW IF THE RECALL WORK DONE ON OUR CAR WAS NEGLIGENT, OR IF THEY JUST TURNED OFF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. BUT WHATEVER WAS OR WAS NOT DONE HAS HAD A SERIOUS IMPACT ON MY WIFE AND MYSELFI.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS HAVE FAILED TO WORK. THE FUSE AND CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE IN GOOD REPAIR. THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT (MCU). THERE WAS A RECALL ON 1998-2000 HONDA ACCORDS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I COULD NO LONGER SEE MY SPEED AND CANNOT SEE ANY INSTRUMENTS AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, RESTARTED, AND PLACED IN GEAR WITH NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED . SHE WAS OUT DRIVING AND WAS GOING UP A HILL AND THE CAR STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. SHE GOT SCARED AND PUT IT IN REVERSE TO GLIDE DOWN THE HILL AND PULL TO THE SIDE. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY RECALLS PERTAINING TO THE TRANSMISSIONS FROM HONDA . I CAME ACROSS THIS SITE AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND YEAR. I PLAN TO CONTACT HONDA TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLACE IT.

DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, CITY STREET, AND THE HOOD FLEW OPEN AND SMASHED RIGHT INTO THE WINDSHIELD, CRACKING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH. THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. CALLED HONDA DEALER AND THEY JUST LAUGHED AND SAID: YEAH, THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THE DRIVER SIDE WAS REPLACED, TOO. THE CONSUMER HAD PAPERWORK PROVING ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WONT GO OFF, NO BAD FUSES, IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET, AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK IN AN ACCIDENT OR NOT.
