2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID Complaints

AFTER THE RECALL APPOINTMENT ON 5/3/2019,THE SIGN "ABS" STILL COMES ON ALL THE TIME IN THE PANEL.BESIDES,THE AUTO AUDIO SYSTEM FAILS WHEN THE IGNITION IS ON. WHEN THE CAR IS NOT ON THE AUDIO SYSTEM COMES ON AGAIN. THIS MAY BE CHECKED BESIDES THE ABS SIGN.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON ANTIOCH RD. CRESTVIEW, FL AND HAD STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN TO JUMP ONTO P.J. ADAMS RD. WHEN TRAFFIC PERMITTED I TIRED TO PULL OUT THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD A FEW FEET PUTTING THE HOOD AREA COMPLETELY IN THE ROAD WHEN THE D LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR STOPPED MOVING . THE MOTOR REVES UP BUT THE CAR WONT MOVE. I WAS ALMOST HIT BYE A SEMI TRUCK . AFTER REPLACING ATT SENSORS THE D LIGHT IS STILL FLASHING AND THE CAR WONT MOVE . I HAVE EXQHAUSTED ALL REPAIRS THAT I CAN DO AND WAS FORCED TO SCRAPE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS MY ONLY WAY OF GOING AND AFTER SPENDING ALMOST 1000BUCKS WAS STILL UNABLE TO FIX THIS CAR. ITS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE FACT THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND KILLED DUE TO THIS UNEXPECTED AND SUDDEN SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING

WHEN STARTING FROM AT STOP THE CAR HESITATES AND SHUDDERS WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL UNLESS YOU LET THE CAR IDLE AND ROLL FORWARD FIRST. IT ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WHEN YOU HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON FOR MORE THAN 10 MIN. AFTER APPROX 10MIN IT ACTS LIKE I HAVE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON THE CRUISE CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT DOES TURN OFF AND THEN YOU CAN TURN THE MAIN CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON AND THEN RESET THE CRUISE BUT IT ONLY STAYS WORKING FOR 1-2 MIN BEFORE SHUTTING ITSELF BACK OFF.

THERE IS A SHUTTERING IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS ATTEMPTING TO GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE SHUTTERING IS BECOMING MORE VIOLENT. THE CAR HAS ALSO SLIPPED OUT OF DRIVE (WHILE ON THE ROAD) AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I'VE READ THAT THE SHUTTERING ISN'T FAIRLY COMMON IN THIS MODEL AND/OR TYPE OF TRANSMISSION.

I DROVE THIS 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID TOOK MY BABY HONESTLY FROM THE SHOPPING MARKET. IT WAS JUST AT THE RIGHT TURNING CORNER, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO MOVE, I IMMEDIATELY PRESS THE EMERGENCY BUTTON, GOT OUT OFF THE VEHICLE LET OTHER AUTOS PASSED ME AHEAD BY THE SIDE WAY. LATER SOME KINDLY GUYS HELP ME PUSHED THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT NEAR BY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT OF WORK. AFTER MY FRIEND HELP ME TOOK BABY HOME, THE VEHICLEL WAS TOWED BACK. GLAD IS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ONLY JUST PASSED 100K MILES. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS GOOD, OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR IS OK. I THINK NOT ONLY ME HAVE THIS QUALITY PROBLEM. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR US WITHOUT A SIGN.

WHEN DRIVING AT 50MPH ON A NATIONAL HIGHWAY 95S HEADING TO PHILADELPHIA AROUND 11AM,THE SPEED OF THE CAR SUDDENLY REDUCE TO 20MPH AND THEN STALLED AND STOPPED MOVING. I HAD TO PULL ASIDE TO CHECK THE ENGINE. AFTER SOME THIRTY MINUTES OF REST,I HAD TO RETURN HOME WITH AN IDEA OF GETTING THE CAR CHECKED BY THE DEALER.THE DEALER REORTED OF HAVING NO PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE AND I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND RUNNING AS CAREFULLY AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT USING FOR A LONG TRIP. I HAD SOME DENTS DUE TO OTHER DRIVER WITH RASH DRIVING AND HITTING THE CAR.I NEED TO GET THE DENTS FIXED AS SOON AS THE PRESENT WINTER SEASON TURNS FEASIBLE FOR EASY RUNNING.

JERKING AND NOISES GOT WORSE OVER A ONE WEEK PERIOD. DEALERSHIP, WHERE ALL SERVICE HAS OCCURRED FOR THIS CAR, SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION ($4800) AND IS NOT WORTH REPAIRING. THE MILEAGE IS QUITE LOW FOR THIS PROBLEM, 133,000. WE'VE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE HYBRIDS 2002-2005.

"TAKATA RECALL" 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID WITH IMA AND ENGINE LIGHTS WENT OFF. NO CHARGE TO BATTERY CAUSE THE CAR TO MALFUNCTIONS. SUCH AS ELECTRICAL STEERING WHEEL STOP WORKING. ENGINE LOST POWER AND STOP WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AT STOP SIDE. I CHANGED NEW DIEHARD 12V BATTERY AND ALSO CHECKED AND VERIFIED THE IMA BATTERY IS GOOD (EACH CELL ABOVE 7 VOLTS). I THINK THE CAR NEED TO UPDATE SOFTWARE FROM HONDA. PLEASE HELP US FOR THE RECALL TO UPDATE SOFTWARE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY POST THEIR STORY ON YOUTUBE

THIS CAR WAS TOTALED IN 2009! BUT I KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES. I CHECK THE "DESTROYED" BOX, BUT THE RECALL NOTICES KEEP COMING. HOW CAN I CONVINCE YOUR DATABASE THAT THIS CAR NO LONGER EXISTS?

VEHICLE BRAKES WON'T WORK WHEN BRAKING ON A BUMPY ROAD OR HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WONT STOP ON TOP ON A BUMP THAT IS ON THE ROAD. WHEN IN MOTION, WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP ON A BUMP THAT IT IS ON THE ROAD, VEHICLE BRAKES WILL SLIDE AND NOT STOP. EITHER ON CITY OR HIGHWAY ROADS. I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN I AM SPEEDING AND I HAVE TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME I WILL END UP CRASHING INTO THEM IF THERE IS A BUMP AHEAD OF ME, MY BRAKES WONT WORK AND BRAKES WILL SLIDE AND NOT WORK. IT HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICCE IN 2003 BUT MY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN IGNORED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP.
