Honda Civic Change Vehicle

“Oil pan leak was repaired less than one year ago, so recent leak was still under warranty”

“oil pan”

“Leaking on seals on engine. Manageable by replacing oil during regularly scheduled maintenance visits and by placing an oil drip pan under the car”

“possible oil sending unit leak”

“More wear and tear”

“Age and mileage related oil leaking. Problem persists even after several attempts at repair. No other significant issues with the car after 17 years of daily driving”

“Most damaging for environment. A quart leaked or burned every month”

“The car is old and is leaking oil. Likely from gaskets”

“Oi leaking from underneath the engine. It could be a seal but it is so slow I just check the oil and add when it gets low right now”

“oil pan gasket fail resulted little oil leak”

“The car had three oil leaks, two in the back of the engine and one toward the front. They were repaired in the last six months and are no longer leaking”

“I love my civic, but it has been using up oil...and leaving stains under my car. The car is old and the repairs are more expensive than i can deal with, so I've been patching things up with my trusty mechanic”

“There is a problem with oil burning off at a slow rate. Need to add oil periodically and change oil more frequently”

“This is the problem that troubles me most. The engine light goes on intermittently . My trusty mechanic finds nothing wrong when he looks at it, and says i should not worry but bring it in if it stays on for long. A little scary. The car is old, and has never given me ANY problems at all, so am ascribing the problems now to old age”

“The air conditioner lasted about 9 years and then died so that summers in the car are very hot. It cost too much to repair the air conditioner so I just suffered for 2 or 3 months each year”

“AC does not function;heat is fine”

“had to be replacesd”

“The A/C compressor died 8 years ago and is only available used and no guarantee that the used one will work”

“needed repair, fixed it, works fine now”

“it died”

“Air conditioning no longer works. It likely needs to be recharged. I've never had this done”

“Weak / inadequate cooling in spite of compressor replacement. Fluid leakage which even when fixed seems to need coolant replacement each season”

“replaced”

“The Blower motor was getting noisy so I had it replaced but now the blower motor that I replaced it with is noisy as well. I will have to get the one replaced as well”

“Not cooling sufficiently. Refrigerant leaks - A/C valves had to be replaced”

“A stainless steel pipe failed and caused the refrigerant leak on last summer. Now, again there is a leak as the AC won't provide cold air”

“had to replace the compressor and had subsequent leaks”

“No heat or fan”

“My Honda Civic is actually 1997,but that option was not "available! It is a "creampuff", and the brake repair was minor---needed new seal”

“Just repaired brake pads-no drum or rotor damage. first brake job in 7 years!”

“Brakes seem to need attention every year”

“We just had to replace the brakes because they were worn”

“Brake lines had rusted and leaked fluid. We limped it to the mechanic, using some remaining brake function and the emergency break. The mechanic blamed it on 15 years on [winter salted] Pennsylvania roads”

“The car is actually 1996 model, and the brake line got air in it, so you need to "double break" before the brakes work. Tomorrow I am getting a new car and giving the Honda to the Kidney Foundation”

“front brakes jsut wore out - it was time”

“I got the rotors replaced about 8 months ago after the car kept making a "thunk thunk" noise while breaking. It took a long time for the mechanic to identify the issue. Now 8 months later, the breaking noise is back (same wheel)”

“Rotor keeps breaking down”

“Actually it's a 1996 Honda Civic. Had break shoes replace,d bad job, constant grinding sound”

“Brakes squeak”

“More of a whistling noise coming from engine area and very hard to point where it is coming form”

“All locks have failed on 4 doors, except passenger side door Bad wiring harness design”

“the rear driver door handle became unattached while the door was in child lock mode, so the door is unUSble now”

“Rear driver's side exterior handle connector keeps breaking. Has been fixed twice and is broken again”

“Passenger door latch broke. Can not open passenger door from outside, only from inside”

“I have a 1995 Honda Civic EX (there was no option for that - I could only go as far as 2000). My sunroof won't open (it's stuck). It's been a FANTASTIC car! It just has a lot of issues now. The tachometer doesn't always work either”

“door lock wore out and had new one installed. But now I have 2 keys, one for this one door & the other for the rest of the car”

“When rolling down window by hand, window handle broke off. Could not raise or lower window without replacement”

“Driver side window motor broken and replaced. Passenger side electric door lock not working”

“Driver's side window has gotten stuck in "down" position (in winter, of course). Window often sticks”

“Motor died in the driver side window and had to be replaced. It died again three months later, but was a wiring problem so the mechanic fixed it gratis”

“The ddriver side window will not close in cold weather”

“Water gets inside and floors are wet after sitting in rain”

“water leaking into trunk during rains. now that weather is warm, have started trying caulk in some areas around rear windshield. first attempt had no affect”

“When it rains, water leaks into the trunk of my car. It forms a distinct pool of water where the spare tire is, and has dampened other items I keep in the trunk (papers, gym clothes, etc) to the point of causing mold to form and having to throw away”

“Mystery source water fills up tire well”

“Normal wear of rubber gaskets, etc”

“Trunk is leaking consistently now”

“Water is entering somewhere and causing mildew”

“Mystery squeaks/rattles from front end. Due to age of vehicle”

“The car was never a "quiet drive." However, in the last 12 months, it has gotten louder”

“catalytic converter”

“The catalytic converter failed, I had to replace it in order to pass my Illinois emissions test”

“This is a 1998 model (your drop-down box only went to 2000). I never really had any problems with the car in 17 years except for a warning light on the dash.The car repair guys tell me it isn't worth messing with and the car still runs just fine”

“its one of the devices in the fuel evaporation system”

“fuel injection gasket was replaced”

“Dealership took care of problem”

“the sensor failed”

“The check engine light is on. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the emissions but it comes on regularly and stays on until it is reset”

“Leak in hose or flange”

“After replacing stock engine at 90k miles, I've replaced radiator, thermostat and fan motor and still overheats. I've put more money in then the car is worth”

“Overheats due to loss of coolant in engine”

“had to replace it. it was the original radiator. pretty good”

“replace”

“Dashboard light backdrop stopped working altogether - still diagnosing. Not light bulb failure - possibly the dimmer switch failure”

“one of the rear doors has to be manually locked. when I lock/unlock the car from the drivers door, this door lock sticks”

“Transmission torque converter failure fault code keep popping up even after reset numerous time and transmission shop did not find any issues with the transmission”

“Driver Side Front window will not close completely (need to have regulator replaced)”

“Seem to always have this problem from day one”

“had to replace distributor, electronics failure”

“in the winter, it takes a long time to start the car. one time we tried starting the car for about 10 min, nearly depleting the battery. after a jump, the engine would shut off every time i stopped at a light”

“spark plugs were only in 2 years. got a check eng. light, 2 of the plugs were seized in head. had to use an easy out to remove them”

“Started went out. The part was expensive and harder to obtain than expected. It took three days for the shop to get one. I couldn't get one any faster”

“The starter failed after 16 years. Pretty good, to be honest”

“The clutch requires replacement - it has begun slipping and will need to be completely replaced within the next 10K miles”

“The clutch had 187000 miles on it, so it was about time for it to replaced. This was completely expected for a fifteen year old car”

“unfortunately transmission went out right after warranty had expired.... a little over 30,000 miles. Honda gave me about 2/3 of the money to replace it”

“IHREE YEARS AFTER GETTING THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION STARTED GOING BAD. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A NEW KIND OF TRANSMISSION. IiT HAD TO BE REPLACED”

“Volume does not work properly it is very difficult to adjust up and down”

“volume knob eradic, sometime does nothing or does the oppsite when turning up or dowm”

“Car was stolen and the radio removed. When we got the car back and installed a new radio we discovered that the ignition/security system had been damaged as well”

“Volume control is flakey”

“I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND ABOUT IT BUT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED”

“Extremely expensive to replace the timing belt. Well over $1,200. Past timing belt replacements have been in the $750 range”

“Timing belt was not due to be replaced, but, my car just stopped working while I was driving it. I coasted downhill, onto the shoulder, but one wheel was still in the road. This was a very dangerous situation. I could have been on Interstate”

“Car developed a leak at seal between engine and transmission. Had it replaced and noticed no further leaks”

“Same thing-age and mileage related persistent leaking. More of an annoyance than an issue”

“Had problems with trains linkedge”
