Honda Civic Change Vehicle

"The dealership mechanic did not put the timing belt on correctly therefore the engine was broken"

"engine had to be replaced due to a crack in a head"

"head gasket needed replacing, 2nd time in the last few years. when head was checked, needed a new valve"

"Repair shop didn't replace water pump when replacing timing belt-this resulted in overheating a few years later which lead to the problems with the head gasket"

"Traveled from NY to CA with an overheated engine ONLY when during stop/go traffic. Didi not loose ANY coolant. Honda Dealer replaced gasket and re-milled the head during my stay in California"

"Blown Head Gasket"

"Gasket leaked and needed replacement"

"Overheating, loss of coolant"

"Head gasket deterioration affected heater operation"

"Head gasket leak allowed coolant to leak into two cylinders. Problem originated as engine skipping"

"I was having trouble with my AC under 35mph. Turned out I had a cracked head gasket and needed timing belt and all kinds of other things replaced due to coolant spraying in engine via the cracked gasket. It was expensive,but it's a great car overall"

"Fan failed leading to overheating, warped head gasket and silicone glides"

"Symptoms from exhaust gases leaking into coolant is engine temp gauge indicates intermittent overheating"

"Head gasket failed crossing Mohave desert, possibly bad thermostat"

"Timing belt broke while driving on highway. Had to have car towed to garage. Fortunately, it did not damage the valves"

"This was the source of the AC leak. Leak seems to have stopped after replacing"

"Bearing(s) locked up and froze belt drive input shaft"

"The A/C no longer worked. We spent about $1,000 getting it repaired. It was however, a 14 year old car at the time, so it wasn't surprising. Never had trouble with it before"

"Bad location rock from construction cause it to fail"

"Air conditioner stop working. It was the condenser that went bad and the coolant also had a leek"

"The temp. gauge repeatedly spiked to hot. They replaced the thermostat and finally the water pump? One of those things. It;s fine now"

"The heater doesn't really get warm unless I go fast on the highway. I'm told it needs flushing out, but I haven't wanted to spend the money"

"water pump leaked. replaced it"

"no heat; the fan blows but only cold air"

"No heat in freezing weather. It took a couple trips. They also broke the hood release cable while making repairs"

"Dealer repair shop fixed the issue"

"Needed to recharge coolant and fix leak in AC"

"Leak through the loading port, cleaned out valve, reloaded with Freon, seems fine now, but not sure, its with son while he is at a university"

"The AC had a slow leak that the dealer said was due to the AC compressor. Replaced the compressor two weeks ago and all is good for now (odd that the same problem occurred to our other car!)"

"Rear window (back, not side) leaked rain water into trunk. We sealed it with a tube of sealant"

"Significant body leaks on passenger side front seat"

"all my exteriror stripping is peeling off"

"Moisture is getting into the car, which fogs up the windows. It's an annoying problem in the rainy season. The car heat and fan must be run for 10-15 minutes to unfog the windows. It's hard to pinpoint the moisture source, but my guess is it from"

"Failure of oil pan gasket"

"A weather strip came loose"

"water coming in front passenger side from gap in window seal"

"Buzzing noise under drivers side dash board. Dealer repair shop could not determine cause. as a result the issue was never resolved"

"car makes a rattling noise and the mechanic cannot figure it out"

"Belts squeaking loudly after being replaced"

"There has ALWAYS been an engine squeak that no one can seem to find and fix, even the dealer. It sounds like a belt rubbing but upon inspection none of the belts rub"

"Just gotten louder as it has gotten older"

"It happens at slow speeds"

"Transmission slipping. Brought to Honda just this week. who said it requires new transmission for $4.8K. Opted not to get it fixed. Car retired 4/30/15"

"Had to get the entire transmission replaced at 86,000 miles!"

"Just suddenly gave out when put car in reverse and car wouldn't run,"

"The transmission failed completely while driving. Had to be towed to shop.. We had it rebuilt at local AMCO for $2400"

"CVT Drive Belt broke at 289k miles on original CVT transmission. Purchased used JDM Transmission (40-50k miles) for $500.00 and replaced following factory maintenance manual. Additional parts/supplies cost about $200.00"

"Transmission is failing. Seals probably leaking. Needs to be replaced, but driving until it breaks completely"

"Total transmission failure. Towed to Honda for replacement of transmission"

"Main bearing went out and needed a total rebuild"

"Transmission stopped working around 83000 miles. Had to replace with a rebuilt one from a private mechanic, less expensive than at the dealership about 1/2 the cost. Honda wanted about $3,500 for a rebuilt transmission"

"Transmission needed to be replaced; did not replace it due to age of car. But unusual to see failure at 89K miles"

"I may have messed up the transmission myself. When I backed out of the garage, I developed a bad habit of shifting into drive while the car was still rolling backwards. Probably not good for the transmission. Otherwise, the car is good"

"Gasket head leaked oil and had light oil leak from unknown place in engine. Instead of paying hundreds just to find out source of engine leak, and with transmission just dying, I bought new car"

"Car started burning oil over the winter. Seals replaced and no issues since"

"Gaskets in several areas seem to have failed. Uses about a quart a month"

"Several oil leaks, rocker cover, oil pan, oil pump. During this service I also replaced the water pump and timing belt"

"Head gasket failure, resulting in oil and coolant leaks. One quart of oil must be added 1-2 times per month, based on driving frequency"

"dealer reports many seals drying out, leaks are small now but need to replace seals at high cost. No alternative or preventative offered, car mostly maintained by honda"

"there are too many to repair; other problems with car may be caused by oil leaks"

"The pistons are leaking oil, all of them!"

"Replaced Oil Pan, then had additional leaks due to age. Less expensive to fix then to replace the vehicle"

"so many oil leaks"

"Minor leak, but attempts to seal have failed. Oh well"

"Check engine light came on. Problem diagnosed as faulty canister that collects gasoline vapors. Canister had to be replaced to resolve the problem"

"have to replace the fuel cap yearly and the check engine light appears several times a year. Just have to have it reset at the mechanics shop"

"Traveling from NY to California and back (10,6000 miles) incurred at least 12 panic stops (75+ to 0) on 35000 mile old rotors and pads which eventually caused grinding noise. Front pads and rotors replaced"

"Squeaking brakes when release brake"

"Calipers were sticking, old , due to age of car"
