Honda Civic Change Vehicle

"Rubber on doors wore out had to replace and fuel gage sticks, took to dealer their reply after putting a meter on it that it was functioning properly, still doing the same thing"

"bottom exterior outside window molding are cracking on all 4 doors. Window outside pillar molding fading...peeling. Interior sun visor split/broke. Steering wheel vinyl worn through where left thumb sits. Poor quality interior and exterior trim items!!!!"

"Not sure what these are called, but the rubber water barrier on windows and doors is breaking and coming off. Also the cover between windshield and frame of windshield fell off. Also some little rubber tubes between windows and body came off and flew away"

"Rubber gasket at roof line tearing loose. Windshield Wiper arm cover came off/lost"

"Front bumper catches on parking lot bumpers, damages pins and comes loose"

"THE FRONT END IS LOW AND CATCHES CONCRETE PARKING BUMPERS. THIS LOOSENS OR TEARS OFF THE FRONT BUMPER WHEN CAUGHT AND BACKING OUT"

"The screw hole securing the right side of front bumper to wheel well/body is broken on bumper. Honda dealership states "it's a common problem." Seems like a design flaw. $780 to replace bumper"

"Sun deteriated rubber gaskets around glass and moldings"

"The car is extremely low, so you hit the bumper and scratch or pull off the bumper when parking. Car needs to be a little higher to make it easier for parking"

"Actuall the problem was with the rear bumper which your available choices did not cover. The bumper clips into an adjoining panel and the bumper came loose from that panel"

"Front bumper pulled out after contacting concrete wheel stop due to low body, when parking."

"bumper cover is very low in front, tends to droop. Have had it fixed, but can't pull all the way forward into a parking space because it will snag."

"molding has come loose in a few areas and required glue to reattach."

"The molding around the side, front and rear windows has deteriorated. I replaced the molding on the drivers and passages windows by ordering parts and following a YouTube video, but was unable to figure out how to replace the molding around the front and rear window. This gives the car a very unappealing look and is embarrassing."

"Trim coming loose and the wind ripping it off. Rubber molding and seals all rotting and falling to pieces, on the whole car."

"Rubber/vinyl strip running from base of windshield running to the back window on both the left and right side released just on each side of the windshield making noise as they deteriorated and then releasing."

"The trim that surrounds the entire front windshield, doors and rear window has become so brittle that it has broken away and the molding on the front windshield was lost while driving on the highway. The cost to replace will be more than $500 at the dealers so will not replace this cosmetic issue."

"Same as previous. The headliner is falling off from the roof interior. the rubber around the windows has shrunk."

"Trim around steering column falling off. Had to glue it back on"

"broken faulty sun visor vinyl "leather" tim ripping, bubbling"

"Driver side door pillar molding torquing and mis-aligned"

"Plactic covers on pillar between front drivers door and windshield are always loose. Cover on inside of car between front and rear doors (drivers side) that covers driver seatbelt never fit correctly"

"The sunvisor plastic is cracking and makes the visor unusable because when you pull it down, it is hard to return to normal position. The exterior rubber trim around windows is alsl cracking and is a problem I have had with a previous Honda."

"Defective sun visor"

"visor failure"

"All the interior key trim owrk like the steering wheel cover and front interoir trim is decaying away. When you drive this car, you have decaying sticky rubber residue on your hands from the steering wheel each time you drive this car. Trim inside is cracking and dry rotting away. The exteroir mirrors have a seal / design defect and creates a paint stain on the car side panels and doors and leeds to look like prime and a rust out.. With the poor external and interior quality of this car, the resale value is so low and shows so poorly we are stuck to keep it instead of trading up for a new model. This is a DO NOT BUY CIVIC brand for buyers. We have just 30,025 miles on it. After 20 yeas of this brand, it continues to fall below average in so many areas."

"I've found that there was a recall on 09 civics because of paint, however, I was never notified. Paint keeps peeling off."

"paint peels off, first top coat then undercoats"

"After I started leaving the car outside the clear coat on the roof and trunk began to go missing leaving an unsightly finish. We had received a recall notice years earlier that there was a problem with the paint but it did not occur on our car until after the recall period expired. I has gotten worse over the last two years and we have assumed we would have to pay to repaint the vehicle. We have vassilated on what to do and thought of selling/giving the car away and purchasing another."

"The problem has been specific only to the black trim paint on the door Window frame area."

"Silver paint on roof and trunk fading out and patchy"

"Several areas on the roof, hood and truck have paint that is fading into splotchy areas...but it's 11 years old and I don't care so I'll keep it until mechanical issues require extensive repair."

"Paint peeling badly on outside mirrors"

"Poor quality paint. The car is kept in a garage but water dripping out of the side mirrors (over time) ate through the clear coat down both sides of the car."

"Paint is peeling and fading on hood, roof and trunk lid."

"This particular paint color (light blue) was only given two coats at the factory instead of the usual three. Honda admitted there was a problem and offered to repaint the whole car at their facility for $500.00."

"paint flaking -it seems all Hondas of that year having same problem"

"Honda has good repainted now it chips more than wver"

"The black paint clear coat began fading, chalking, cracking, and peeling, at about 7 years old. The hood and roof were repainted under the basic warranty that Honda extended an addition 2 years. Since then the warranty has expired and the trunk lid and upper fenders are now doing the same."

"About 5 years ago the topcoat started to peel off the paint and caused a graying appearance on the roof and trunk lid. Noticed that about 1/2 of the civics of that age had the same problem. Was brought to the attention of the local dealer on 2 occasions; they said there was nothing they could do except repaint the car at our expense (there was no manufacturer's warranty)."

"Paint faded and flaked due to improperly applied clear coat at Factory. Affected areas, roof, outer edges of hood and trunk, trunk lid. This apparently was a known defect but only warranted a "Service Bulletin" which we were not made aware of until taken to body shop to repair. Honda would not take responsibility for their poor workmanship"

"The paint on the roof and trunk inexplicably faded down to the metal. I had to get it repainted supposedly right after there was a recall for this problem! Honda never notified me."

"UV deterioration of paint topcoat is leading to faded color in several places on the roof"

"The clear coat on the body is failing. Honda had a recall for this issue. We bought this car from the original owner. The original owner had parts of the car repainted, but Honda did not repaint the entire car. The clear coat on the sections that were not repainted are now failing/cracking."

"Loss of clear-coat from front to rear of car greater than 8 - 10 sq feet in total"

"Paint peeling in spots all over car. Had hood and roof repainted by third party, but side panels and truck still look bad. Started maybe after 5 to 6 years."

"Paint(fading,chalking,cracking, peeling)is a manufacturing defect with the 2009 Civic. I did not get a recall letter, but when I called the Honda dealer,about 2016, and said they would fix the paint problem. Had to leave the car there for a week, no loaner car. They fixed/repainted the problem areas, but only those areas. WHY DID THEY NOT REPAINT THE WHOLE CAR? Since then other areas/panels have done the same thing. I have not called to ask why or if they will fix the rest, dealer is 100 kilometers away and I would have to leave the car for another week without a loaner. I am disappointed and annoyed THAT THE DEALER DID NOT DO RIGHT AND DO THE COMPLETE FIX/REPAINT THE ENTIRE CAR THE FIRST TIME! Would not recommend this Bridgewater, Nova Scotia dealership. They had their chance and did not do the right thing the first time."

"Mostly the paint on the metal frame around windows."

"the new car paint finish was defective. Roof is now rusting away,fading most areas. Inside dashboard and steering wheel trim is craking and fading too"

"Recently all over the car, the paint has faded or chalked, and is very spotted finish. It doesn't seem to be caused by anything we did to the car and we consider it a paint defect. It continues to get worse and can't be cleaned up. We are considering having to paint it as it has become an eyesore. None of our other cars ever had this problem before, even older ones"

"Clear coat coming off"

"Peeling paint"

"Honda would only repaint part of the car (not the entire body) when the initial notice went out about the defective paint and extension of warranty. When additional spots appeared on the car the dealership gave me the run around and refused to repaint the rest of the car"

"Paint turned white and chalky. Seals around the windows cracked and flacked"

"Paint started to fade on roof just in front of windshield and back window. Two spots each. They gradually started to peel and now is a large line on both ends of my roof going across"

"Paint on hood and front sides developing small white chips everywhere. Paint on roof was redone under Honda extended warranty. problem l on hood occurred 6 months after extended warranty expired. Honda would not fix it"

"Black trim pieces on doors faded as though clear coat has disintegrated"

"Paint fading on horizontal surfaces - roof mainly"

"Paint is bubbling due to rust formation from stone chips"

"honda issued a recall on roof chalking"

"Paint faded/peeled on roof, hood/trunk area in 2015. Fixed under warranty/recall"

"Patches of fading paint on roof, trunk"

"first notice of crazing of paint and there was a recall on the paint. paint on trunk, top of the car was replaced. Honda dealer had the car for four weeks, paid for rental car for one week. bad experience. two years later, doors and hood needed the same and recall was still in effect"

"Fading of paint trim on doors"

"Clear coat coming of car on trunk lid and roof"

"The paint peeled on the entire car"

"Honda recalled and repainted everything but doors"

"Paint chipping off hood"

"White chalky areas on hood, rear area of roof and trunk area. These areas were painted as part of an extended warranty service provided by Honda free of charge. Back of trunk has cracked, rusted area that was not covered by warranty. Rear bumper area (which was recently painted as part of warranty service) has bubbling of paint"

"There is a known problem with certain colors of paint on Honda cars in which they peal and fade. It looked like the paint was rubbed off with steel wool. Through my local dealer they repainted most of the car at no charge to me"

"Car suffered from common problem on black civics of the clear coat delaminating. Honda extended warranty but even though I contacted and case file opened prior to expiry date and being told that there was no expiry now that claim was filed they failed to pay half of cost because I brought it in after original expiry date. Dealer stepped up and covered"

"Peeling paint was part of a recall warranty issue, but because I did not report the issue until a month after the warranty, they refused to repair under warranty"

"Paint recalled. Honda would only cover the cost of repainting the roof and not the entire car. The cracking and peeling covers the entire car"

"covered under warranty"

"Clear coat is failing on hood, roof and tops of fenders. This is a known issue but Honda has no formal campaign to correct"

"Clear coat is peeling off. When I called the dealer they said I was at fault...too many washes. When I called again a year later, they said that there was in fact a Honda problem, but that I had just missed the warranty extension. (No notification) I appealed to Honda America and they refused to make an exception to the warranty extension dates, saying it was due to high mileage. Terrible service"

"See previous comments. We have only one car, but I couldn't get your system to accept that"

"Paint was cracking and chalking on the hood and roof. This was a known problem to Honda and they extended the paint warranty for darker coloured cars (mine is black). Had the roof and hood repainted, under the extended warranty, by Honda Canada. Now the trunk lid is fading as well"

"Clear coat is fading on hood, front RIGHT fender, top and trunk"

"paint around doors is fading"

"peeling"

"paint too thin, easily chipped by stones, debris"

"Top and Trunk had to be repained due to fading"

"The black plastic trim peeled and discolored. After many phone calls they gave me $500. towards getting it fixed. The other Honda Fit, which is 2 years older and parked in the same drive had no peeling trim"

"Paint peeling on the roof"

"paint on roof is faded and blotchy"

"Paint chipping/peeling off exterior mirrors and front bumper -- no objects have struck these areas"

"Paint has peeled from two wheels resulting in constant air loss from the tires"

"As on 2 other Hondas I have had, my Civic also had paint oxidizing within 3 yrs. For once, Honda offered to repaint it under warranty. They repainted most of the car, except the doors. Now the paint on the doors is turning white and falling off"

"paint started getting white fading on hood and roof"

"Honda tried to blame the paint issue on consumers for years before finally extending the warranty and accepting blame. Still refuse to pain entire car - I have had different areas painted on 4 different times at a cost of over $10k"

"The car is dark blue. We thought it was simply the Arizona sun that caused the fading and chalking. But then I read in Consumer Reports last fall about the "Secret Warranty", and Honda covered the cost of repainting the car. Evidently many 2009 Ci"

"Paint cracking on hood, doors and roof"

"The roof paint was fading and turning white in blotches"

"Paint fading from roof & trunk area"

"the areas around the door windows has all cracked and peeled looking unsightly"

"Honda recalled vehicle for defective paint and paid for new paint on roof, trunk and fenders"

"Paint on all metal (not plastic) starting chalking/flaking off in early 2014. Took to dealer in early 2015, and they repainted all metal (not plastic) at no charge to us (undocumented extended warranty). Auto body repair place said Honda had problems"

"chalking paint repaired by Honda under extended warranty"

"Honda had to repaint the car because of clearcoat failure"

"cracking of paint within 2 years"

"Paint chipping on hood"

"peeling, cracking, flaking"

"Chalking paint. Honda extended warranty for seven years. Dealer repaired free of charge"

"Paint on top, hood, trunk was chalking. Honda repainted same"

"cracking, trim falling off. rubber sealant ripping off"

"Roof paint faded, chalking"

"chalking on the roof"

"Paint was faulty. Honda had the body repainted at no cost to us"

"Paint color was considered defective and required repainting on front quarter pannels, hood and roof. Less than a year later it has to be taken back to have doors and trunk repainted. The dealer had been difficult to work with during this second r"

"My clear coat failed on my roof and my hood's paint actually started to peel and crack. It was fully covered under warranty. They said its common to my year civic, "new blend" for the 09 apparently"

"Paint showed signs of major wear on roof, trunk lid. Very faded, cracking"

"Clearcoat failing on areas with most sun exposure. Received recall notice stating that repairs would be covered to some extent, I forget whether full coverage or not"

"Very poor paint quality on my black Civic. Hood, roof and trunk area all bad. Hood and roof were repainted and now the trunk lid is chalking and clear coat is peeling. See the same issues on all the dark coloured Civics from this year."

"Clear coat over the black paint is fading and peeling off all over the top areas of the car - the areas most exposed to sunlight I suspect."

"Clear coat on car is about 40% gone and going fast. Window molding is deteriorating."

"Roof paint discoloured and peeling. An $800. Re paint if I do it."

"Clear coat failing in spots"

"pain job is terrible"

"Apparently, Honda issued a recall for paint on this model year and vehicle. They never sent us any information or notice of the recall. I discovered it in an online forum. At that time, the recall time period was over and we were out of luck. Thanks, Honda."

"The silver paint on all 4 wheel covers is peeling off. Looks very shabby."

"Gel Coat pealing off of roof, trunk and right front quarter panel."

"paint cracking - it seems Honda other cars are having the problem"

"The air bag was a recall issue. The repair was provided through the recall. The sun visors repeatedly break. Although this was a manufacturer defect, our local delearship refused to replace them after the second break. Replacement visors were about $125. The paint was a solid, non-metallic black which faded and wore off in several places, especially the roof and trunk. The roof is down to primer now. I have a friend with a Civic who had the same problem with paint. Our local dealership provided poor service so we moved our routine services (oil changes, etc.) to a non-dealer business. Due to the poor service of the Honda delearship and issues with paint, we will not purchase another Honda."

"Grey paint is fading and chalking."

"THIS MAY BE THE VERY THING THAT KEEPS ME FROM PURCHASING ANOTHER CIVIC. There were up to six significant spots where the paint faded all the way to the metal. We were told that Honda recalled them for this reason but we never received the recall. When we saw the problem and inquired about we were told that we missed the deadline on getting it repaired. So my wife took her own personal hard earned money to get roof repainted. I THINK IT WAS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ON HONDA'S PART TO REFUSE TO PICK UP THE COST. MY WIFE WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO PROTECT HONDA'S REPUTATION BY NOT DRIVING THE CAR IN THIS POOR CONDITION. VERY SAD. VERY MAD."

"inside trunk unpain, outside fading,chalking,cracking,recall trunk paint."

"The clear coat is gradually failing over the entire car. Over time it crackles and turns white, then flakes off, leaving a flat finish."

"HAD A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEMS. WHEN I CALLED TO HAVE IT FIXED, THEY TOLD THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. I WAS NOR A HAPPY CAMPER..."

"Clear coat peeling on black vehicle. Looks gray. Original warranty covered repaint on hood, roof and trunk, but the clear coat is also failing on the doors 2 years later and no longer under any type of warranty adjustment."

"the exterior paint has degraded so mush that the car looks terrible and is embarrassing to be seen in. I contact the local Honda dealer and they were not responsive. I did have the roof repainted because of a recall for paint, but right after that was completed the fenders, trunk and side panels began to peal. This is it for me and Honda."

"Paint has faded and black rubber trim is chalky and brittle"

"Pain / clear coat peeling in the extreme on roof and hood. About 15 square feet in total. Dealer was of no assistance because I was not original owner. It was very evident they were not invested in my satisfaction or even approaching Honda Canada on this issue when it is a known problem on the gun metal gray paint."

"Based on my research, this was a defect in 2009 Civics in particular colors. The paint was cracking, particularly on the hood and roof of the vehicle. Honda had extended the warranty, but I didn't have the repairs done in time - however, Honda worked with me, and paid 80% of the repainting cost despite this. I am a loyal Honda customer forever!"

"Various recalls over the first few years to repaint only sections of the paint that was healing and turning white in spaces. Honda would not paint the entire car. We had to take it back to different times for rental car etc for them to paint one section at a time. Now the warranty is no longer, being honored, no recall on any paint. Parts of the car that were not painted are still fading shipping turning white and looking like doodoo. Very bad warranty recall customer service, angry"

"The paint on both mirrors is pealing and has been for a few years. The paint on the rest of the car is fine."

"Maybe because I drive my car a lot. The clear coat started coming off after 4 years owning this car. It came off on all the areas where the air contacts the car and flows over it while driving: the hood above the lights, the front part of the roof, the back part of the roof and the trunk. It looks terrible. It continues to worsen. I am almost down to the bare metal now."

"The clear coat began fading about 2 years after purchase on the window edges. It eventually began peeling and flaking off on the black areas around the windows on both the passenger and driver sides."

"Paint peeling from mirrors"

"Honda sent a recall for chalking. The recall expired before I had the problem of chalking. Honda said they would not fix it because the warranty was only good for a year."

"The warranty on the paint was extended to 7 years and when I realized I had a problem I was over that by 31 days. Went to dealer and contacted Honda rep. to no avail. Now the paint job is such a mess that I would probably not buy another Honda. The interior is spotless and the car was always washed and waxed. With so little mileage I was planning on keeping it for a while longer. Not so sure now."

"Side door molding fading and paint chipping off."

"The paint job is fading in spots. There are spots where the paint is gone. The car has been well maintained. Garage kept most years."

"Clear coat is peeling off. Looks horrible."

"paint started fading at 6-7 years old at 9 years old it looks terrible severely discolored and has to be repainted at less than 40,000 miles"

"Turns out it was covered by a recall but they didn't notify people about it. I was buying touch up paint at the dealer, and thankfully the clerk/worker in the parts dept mentioned that our car might be covered by the recall. So it was, and repainted at the cost of the dealer."

"A few years back Honda had paid for painting certain areas of the car they said had failed. Now the rest of the car's paint is failing resulting in a very lousy looking finish. Honda has yet to admit this is the same issue they corrected with the rest of the factory paint."

"paint is chipping off on the passenger side of the car. trim on doors all chipped. paint faded all throughout car"

"Defective clear coat degraded drastically almost as soon as the extended warranty expired. Had to pay to repaint the car"

"Several parts of the car were repainted as part of a factory extended warranty (free from the manufacturer) due to defects in the paint. However, one of the re-painted areas, the rear bumper, has paint bubbling and peeling off."

"The paint has faded and has chalky patches and the molding around the doors dried out and cracked. Also the driver side visor broke (would not stay up) for the second time."

"Paint began peeling in about 6 places on the roof. Honda was aware of this issue on certain models and had extended the warranty - but my car was outside that warranty period. However, I am happy to report Honda worked with me and paid for 80% of the repair cost, since I am a loyal Honda customer!"

"Black trim has faded around the windshield The headlights have gotten a white haze on them."

"Paint fade / chiping. There are spots that are thin. There are huge patches (1.5'x1.5') that to the primer. Known problem found out when out of warranty"

"Sux bug time. Dark blue paint, clear coat chipping off. Honda would only pain each part that showed white chiping clearr coat. Now out of warranty and new areas are still failing. WHY DIDNT THEY JUST REPAINT THE CAR"

"Paint has faded and oxidized all over the doors, hood and trunk. It is so horrible that we have to pay $1,400 now to repaint it. Apparently there were not enough coats put on or finishing coats. We heard there may be a class action suit against Honda and we would participate."

"Large spots on roof delaminating. Honda did have silent recall for multiple models of Hondas with paint delamination issues but was very limited (only certain areas covered) and not publicized (I found out about it too late). Although not a safety issue my resale/trade in has been impacted by this and has made me very likely to not get a Honda again."

"My windshield cracked and had to be replaced last January, due to rust that developed in the bottom of the driver's side A pillar."

"Again, about 5 years ago, the paint had started to bubble and rust. This was mainly occurring on the black trim around the windows, doors, and gas filling tank. It has also started to appear on the main colour (grey) on the hood and roof. This car is 11 years old, so some rust isn't really a surprise."

"Honda paint was defective, Roof, hood, and truck areas are all rusting away"

"Small areas show signs of rust spots, probably where paint was slightly chipped"

"Leading edge of hood"

"Rust on rear trunk area where paint has cracked and lifted off in one location"

"Rust stain on trunk"

"Rust on both rear doors that Honda will not repair - they claim that they are stone chips, but the are in identical spots on both doors"

"Rust like crazy; we had a 2002 CRV that rusted to uselessness. Why? Ive never had a car do this.The engines last forever but the body is dangerously weak"

"SEE EARLIER EXPLANATION."

"Eastern car [Quebec]. Rust on all fasteners and things like windshield wipers. No rust through on body panels but I'm sure that is in it's future if I keep the car long enough."

"a small rust spot on the hood rusted right through and now there's a hole in the hood"

"Minor rust."

"Rust forming back tire well area."

"Rear of trunk area has a crack in the metal that started to rust."

"The 2009 civic was completely painted with poor and defective processes. All the paint on the hood, roof, spoiler, and trunk are rusting away. Paint other areas are pull away for finish exterior. Some are rusting thru the primer coat and others are in rust mode. I see this in all the 2009 and 10 civics on the road. My Brown Honda dealer Honda offers $600 credit on a $3000 paint job from their body. Terrible defect and consumer burden. Never got a recall leter from the Brown Honda Dealer or Honda Corp. USA. This model and year is a DO NOT BUY Car rating. I have bought 5 new cars from Brown Honda in the past, now our familty switched to a better quality auto brand for future new car buys. Honada nor Browns stand behind their products. Steve and Florence H"

"Tends to need recharging with freon every year or so--slow leak?"

"compressor locked up"

"It started in May 2019. The A/C only blew hot air. The compressor was still under warranty and the replacement part was free. I paid for labor."

"Recently my A/C stopped working again. A repair shop said the coolant was low so some was added and initially the compressor still wouldn't engage. The repairman said he banged on the compressor which then started it but he said I'd likely need a new one soon which would cost about $800 installed. After one week it's still working, however"

"loss of a/c unit. had to be replaced"

"A/C does not come on. Changed freon but was no help. Further troubleshooting indicated need new compressor. Have not changed it"

"Aic conditioner blows warm air"

"AC failed. Fix cost $300"

"Car has had trouble with AC numerous times. Latest replaced compressor. We do live in an extremely hot part of the country"

"compressor quit working and needed to be replaced"

"Warranty did not pay for freon needed after repair!"

"Two mechanic shops can't figure out why it won't cool. Have to drive really fast for about 20 minutes to get something to pop open, then it works. Transmission is bad. Had two Hondas, both had transmission problems. Many problems with this car"

"Failed"

"Over 3 years off and on air conditioning. Finally went completely out in May, 2015"

"The compressor failed"

"had to be fixed 3 times after an accident damaging the front right wheel"

"AC clutch stuck on relay...sub valve assembly"

"This vehicle has never cooled well since it was first bought new. Recently had system checked and recharged. Worked a little better for a few months, no back to business as usual"

"Air conditioning faild"

"Compresor clutch replacement"

"I'm told it is the air conditioner compressor clutch, whatever that is. A $750 job to have fixed. I think Honda should cover it but they won't. I haven't fixed it yet. Also, the speedometer stopped working., which cost me $350 to fix"

"ENGINE RUNNING NOISE"

"Stopped working had to be replaced"

"Heat and Air conditioning stopped worked. Had to replace the compressor"

"Now the compressor has been replaced and it runs all the time a new issue developed and although the fan runs the air sometimes does not blow like a door is not opening and closing properly"

"leak in system and unit has stopped cooling"

"A/C worked when I turned it on full blast, but stopped working when I put it on Bi-level normal A/C"

"Right in the middle off very high heat/high humidity day it just started blowing hot air"

"I had the AC system replaced in 2017 (under warranty) due to a catastrophic failure which caused metal shards to circulate causing further damage. The brand new compressor failed 6,000 miles later from a pin hole on the rear side. I had it replaced in 2018 but had to fight with the dealer to honor the part warranty since it had been 13 months since replacement."

"The air conditioner stopped working about 3 years after purchasing it new. I never got it fixed because the repair bill estimated would have cost me about $1600. So I continued to drive it without A/C"

"A/C in this car has been a problem for a number of years. Compressor has been replaced twice...system goes cold/hot at random at times totally cutting off cold air.."

"Just a relay failure, not bad after 9 1/2 years at the time."

"The A/C compressor quit running and I thought it was because it was leaking. But, no, that was not the case. I replace the A/C and ever since replacing it, it works great. However, it does not work very efficiently in very hot weather. I must always leave it on MAX AC. I truly believe that they do not put enough freon in the A/C. Otherwise, it works great. It cools very rapidly."

"Compressor stopped working"

"After 140000 miles the air conditioner died in 100 degree temperature, otherwise very reliable except for sun visors which have needed replacing 3times"

"Failed at low mileage under 50000 but 9 year old car"

"2nd time in two years that the compressor broke and the refrigerant leaked out. very expensive to have everything fixed or replaced."

"The air vent control system failed to move airflow to the upper vents when they were selected. Started a year ago and was fixed 2 months ago"

"My lack of cool air when I turned on my AC was costly. I did enough research to learn that Honda re4fuses to stop installing a Japanese made fuse for the AC that has been considered faulty after 10,000 miles for years. The change of a fuse fixed the AC cooling issue after the grill, and other parts were replaced at a local garage. My local Honda Dealer wanted an astronomical amount of money before considering to change the fuse"

"The connector on the fan broke which caused the connection to come loose. We had to have it repaired a couple times to fix the issue with the connector."

"The fan motor stopped working soon after I had the alternator replace. Thinking it was related I took the car in and found no problems, the fan worked fine. I picked up the car after the service dept closed and the fan did not work. It was late fall so the defroster was close to being needed all the time. I took the car back the next day. They troubleshot again, with no fault found and handed it back. This time everything was fine. It worked for a day then the problem came back the next afternoo"

"Had to have it fixed twice in less than a year"

"Anytime the blower is on, there is a loud "chirping" noise. When the fan is turned off, the noise goes away, but when you put the blower on (for either heat or air) the chirping noise comes back"

"Blower stops working after running for a couple of hours"

"Stopped working after I had just had the car in for leaking refrigerant"

"fan would cut in and out at times totally off, dealer could not locate specific problem. At my request had it replaced and problem stopped."

"very loud and had to be replaced"

"Loud noise made me unsure if the vehicle should be operated"

"The air conditioner stopped producing cold air until the problem was corrected"

"failure"

"Stopped blowing cold air. Took it to certified Honda mechanic shop, who quickly troubleshot and fixed the issue"

"needed a new condenser several hundred dollars"

"Condenser was dry-rotted/damaged due to inadequate protection from road debris."

"The AC would stop working when the car was stopped with the engine running (e.g., at a traffic light). I was told that the cause was a leak in the condenser."

"When it is real humid the ac will not blow cold air"

"A/C would not cool."

"Fins falling off. Probably do to age and road salt."

"Air conditioning stopped operating. Required repairs and parts replacement"

"A/C relay needed replacing"

"Poorly engineered relay that failed in hot and humid conditions. Dealer wanted to replace compressor, but thanks to internet we found others who had the problem. Easily fixed with after market replacement relay"

"System stopped producing cold air. Evaporator and hose failure the result"

"A/C would not cool."

"Re: Climate control. The heater is very slow to reach a comfortable temperature. The A/C struggles to get cold enough on a hot day, and only when the car is being driven at highway speed. At idle the A/C only blows warm air. This has all been happening since the vehicle was new."

"Heat and Air conditioning stopped worked. Had to replace the compressor"

"The problem became noticeable about a year ago. When stopped at a light, the AC would emit warm air. When the car started up again, the AC would emit cool air. The problem is more than leaking refrigerant but technicians have been unable to diagnose what the underlying issue is."

"The AC system stopped blowing cold air in late summer of 2019. Our mechanic resolved the problem by replenishing the refrigerant, but at the same time warned us that Civics in our generation experience more frequent leakage as they age. He told us to expect a refrigerant replenishment service every 1-2 years going forward."

"The A/C was not blowing cold, so we paid to have the refrigerant recharged"

"Several recharges by mechanics, recent one less than a month ago and now appears to have lost most of the refrigerant"

"Have to have it refilled every year"

"Had the AC system serviced once but it has stopped working again"

"Car had a leak. local independent shop fixed it"

"Noticed increase in coolant temperature. Found coolant level low. Rate of loss was very slow and I topped the level up a couple of times before reporting the problem at its next service. Problem traced to a small leak in the radiator"

"The air conditioning was not working effectively and i had it checked by the dealer who found a leak. I also notice some fluid on the garage floor before I took the car in"

"Leaking o-ring and Schrader valve. This was the third time the air conditioning has required repairs since I bought the car in 2009"

"leaky valve. $450 estimate"

"Had to replace the compressor assembly, condenser, and visit the shop several times to try to locate the source of refridgerant leaks. The costs have add up close to $1,000."

"on going issue, 4 years or more"

"More freon had to be added in order for the car to cool."

"On multiple occasions the a/c system slowly gets less cold. Adding refrigerant fixes the problem."

"Had Schrader valve replaced twice, still develop leak again possible problems with compressor or thermostat. Can't seem to narrow it down. After 10 years what the heck not bad"

"Related issue. Air conditioning stopped working. Repairs required including refrigerant replacement"

"Schroeder valves leak"

"Anti-lock light stayed on. Front wheel bearing was installed wrong which caused the problem. The bearings have be be installed with the sensor strip facing the sensor to work right"

"Low Battery Current"

"Calipers locked up"

"Rear caliper parking brake mechanism malfunctioned on both sides at two different times in the last year resulting in severe binding and pad wear. Replaced both rear calipers and solved problem. This is the second time this has happened in the life of the car. Takes about 50,000 miles for problem to surface"

"Had to replace front pads, rotors & calipers"

"The car was in storage for 18 months before I bought it. During test drive I noticed that it took a lot of pressure on the brake pedal to stop the car. When I got it home and looked into it 2 of the 4 calipers were seized. Replacement of 2 calipers, all rotors and pads fixed the problem."

"Parking brake stuck on"

"I've had to replace rear caliper twice in two years."

"Rear caliper was hanging up. I replaced it with a re-manufactured caliper."

"Master cylinder would not hold pressure. Had to be replaced"

"Brake Fluid Loss"

"replaced front and rear brake pads and rotors"

"Wear to inner pads was not detected by routine inspection by mechanics. Detected by driver when brakes started making grinding noise"

"Brake started making funky noises when used. Needed new pads. Occurred after 45,000 miles"

"worn rotors and brake pad"

"Experienced normal brake wear around 90,000 miles. Brakes were serviced"

"Rear brakes wore out before front brakes. Car has all wheel disk brakes"

"Had front brake pads replace by dealer around 40,000 miles"

"I think the wear on my brakes was well within the normal range for Seattle grid lock on our highway system"

"At 68000 miles the front brake pads had to be replaced"

"had to replace front brakes (pads and rotors) before 50,000 km"

"A routine check showed uneven brake wear, with no real explanation as to why"

"Replace front brake pads, resurface front rotors, clean and lubricate caliper slide pins, clean caliper bracket shims. Adjust and clean rear drums."

"We allowed the brakes to become excessively worn to the point that repair was very costly. I think there was inadequate warning system built in."

"the brakes last about 35000 mile and then need replacement. This is NOT a driver problem, it is a vehicle problem."

"Replaced front pads and rotors."

"Had to check brake pads"

"I was surprised when the technician said I need all new rear brakes! I wasn’t aware of anything when driving."

"Both brake lines for the parking brake had to be replaced"

"Plastic handle on the parking brake fell apart and had to be replaced."

"The parking brake stuck while slightly on and produced lots of heat and premature brake wear. They disconnected the cable to the parking brake as a temporary fix and I have not missed it. Auto transmission works fine in Park."

"Found brake pads were hanging and not fully retracting after braking application due to rough edges on the metal castings"

"Both front and rear brakes had to be replaced - they were just replaced 2 years ago"

"Brake pads replaced around 80000 miles. seemed a little soon for a car!"

"This car sat unused for a couple of years. The rear brakes rusted out entirely due to lack of use. When I bought the car, $200 solved the problem"

"Breaks wearing down after 10000 miles three times. These were factory replaced each time. Class action !lawsuit pending"

"Not a heavy brake user. Brakes needed replacement at 15000 mi of use"

"Anticipate more than 50,000 miles on pads, had to replace twice including rotors prior to 100,000 miles"

"We have to replace the brakes about every 30K or so. Typically we get 45K+. Amounts are approximate. Seems to have improved over time, i.e. 35K+"

"needed brakes early; rapid deterioration over three months"

"had a metal to metal experience due to premature wear"

"The dealership where I had this repaired said the wear was not premature, but I disagree. I did have it repaired because it doesn't make sense to drive without reliable brakes"

"Front rotors had to be replaced for the second time"

"Serious break issues in year three of ownership... I replaced brakes, rotors and calipers... two calipers and 1 rotor had to be replaced again at the end of year 4"

"The front pads and rotors had to be replaced and the rear pad had to be replaced and the rotors turned under normal driving conditions in less than 8000 miles"

"Brake pads and ABS system break down in less than 10000 miles"

"have replaced rotors 5 times since new"

"Wheel balancing and alignment is regularly updated. I have had to replace brake pads and seals six times and it always seems to be scraping metal on metal. Never had a car so bad on brakes."

"needs to be changed prematurely"

"Rear rotors were seized on the car when I needed a brake job. Took two hours to get them off which costs a lot of money before they even start putting the new brakes on!"

"They required replacing due to excessive wear. Strictly a maintenance issue"

"MOSTLY CITY DRIVING - BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT"

"Rotors have been replaced x 3 since I got car"

"Front Rotors prematurely warp. They have been replaced five times"

"Warped rotors at very low mileage"

"rotors warped causing premature brake wear"

"uneven wear"

"My brake pads had worn down, and my rotors were contacting metal causing a squealing sound"

"Rotors warped at about 30,000 miles since last brake service."

"Brakes make a squeaking noise when you first run the car, after several applications of the brake, it usually subsides"

"Needed new pads and rotors"
