I BOUGHT MY 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT. IN LESS THAN A YEAR, I HAD TO HAVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, EGR VALVE, FLY WHEEL, AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED 7 MONTHS AGO AND THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN: THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS EVERY TIME I PRESS ON THE GAS OR TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND WHEN I'M COASTING THE TRANSMISSION CHUGS. *TR

I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH A 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID CVT TRANSMISSION. IT OCCASIONALLY BUCKS WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND GEARS "BURNISHED". I AM AFRAID THAT THE PROBLEM WILL GET WORSE. MY BROTHER'S 2003 CIVIC HYBRID ALSO EXPERIENCES THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN JULY MY DEALER WILL ONLY TELL ME THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID TOTALLY GAVE OUT. THIS FOLLOWED MONTHS OF JERKING AND REPEATED TREATMENTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT AND "REPROGRAMMING.," WHICH STARTED BEFORE 30,000 MILES. EACH TREATMENT SEEMED TO WORK TEMPORARILY, ONLY TO HAVE THE JERKING RETURN, EACH TIME SOONER THAN BEFORE. THE EVENING IT GAVE OUT ENTIRELY I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE, THEN TURNED LEFT ONTO A MAIN STREET. AS I TURNED THE CAR JERKED, THEN ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS PERMANENTLY IN NEUTRAL. THE DEALER TOLD ME I MUST HAVE BEEN SPINNING MY WHEELS ON SNOW OR ICE, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE BUCKED SLIGHTLY. THERE WAS ALSO A HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SOUND LIKE IT WAS REVVING TOO HIGH, HOWEVER THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE HIGHER THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM, BUT STATED THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

THE FUEL PUMP MODULE PLASTIC TOP DEVELOPED SMALL STRESS CRACKS ON IT AND SPRAYED FUEL ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I DROVE THIS DEFECT FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE FUEL ODOR WAS COMING FROM UNTIL THE LEAK GOT WORSE AND LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER REFUSED TO SUBMIT MY REPAIR CLAIM FOR WARRANTY OR SAFETY REPAIR CONSIDERATION NOR FORWARD THIS SAFETY DEFECT INVESTIGATION REQUEST TO THE FACTORY. I REPLACED THE ENTIRE FUEL PUNP MODULE AT MY EXPENSE TO REMEDY THE LARGE FUEL LEAK.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT I AM WORRIED SOMETHING WILL. THE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS ON MY CAR ARE BEYOND RIDICULOUS AT THIS POINT AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING MY ONLY CAR. THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED TWICE NOW AND IT SEEMS THAT THE AIRBAG PROBLEMS HAVE STILL NOT BEEN RESOLVED. HONDA IS UNABLE TO FIX THE CURRENT ISSUE UNTIL THEY HAVE THE PARTS, WHICH COULD BE A LONG TIME. I AM EITHER FORCED TO GET A NEW CAR OR DRIVE IN A CAR THAT MIGHT HAVE AIRBAGS THAT WON'T DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT ALL THE CARS ON THE ROAD WITH THESE PROBLEMS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN RECALLED. I CAN REPLACE IT FREE. BUT THE REPLACEMENT WILL BE AN ACT OF FUTILITY BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, THE SENSOR IS PROBABLY BROKEN, AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WON'T GO OFF. (I HAVE NOT SCHEDULED THE POINTLESS ACT.) I SPOKE TO SOMEONE IN COMPLAINTS. IF THE SRS LIGHT IS DUE TO A SENSOR PROBLEM, REPLACEMENT WILL COST ANOTHER $1900. DEALERS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND THEY CHARGE WHAT THEY CHARGE. NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT HONDA MAKES THE SENSOR AND PRICES THEM HIGH. THAT, IN TURN, FORCES DEALERS TO CHARGE A LOT.

I HAD THE DOOR ACTUATOR REPLACED TWICE FIRST 7/20/13 MY MILAGE BEING 44,129 AND AGAIN NOW 8/19/19 WITH ONLY 71,718 MILES. ON 1/25/14 I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND I HAD TO HAVE TUMBLERS REPLACE AND LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED. THE PAST 3 YEARS I HAVE COMMENTED AND HAD THEM CHECK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF LOCK NOISE AND ALIGNMENT. I HAVE ALL MY REPAIRS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR SO THEY CAN PROVIDE MY COMPLETE VEHICLE REPAIR HISTORY IF NEEDED. MY CAR IS IN A GARAGE SO IT IS LESS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND I NEVER WAIT TO HAVE ANY CONCERNED CHECKED AND TAKE GREAT CARE TO KEEP MY CAR SAFE. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM AROSE IN PARK OR WHEN I AM OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR. I HAVE A RECORDED VIDEO OF THE ACTUAL NOISE THE LOCK MADE FROM 8/19/19 BEFORE THE REPAIR WAS MADE. I HAD MY VEHICLE IN 4 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH FOR A AIRBAG RECALL AND A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND A GAS DOOR ISSUES THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED AM MENTED EACH TIME THE NOISE OF THE LOCK WAS GETTING LOUDER.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS IS CRAZY...I FIRST HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG RECALL DONE ON MY VEHICLE. NOW YEARS LATER I NEED TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE RECALL. NEXT IT WILL BE SOME OTHER PART. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY CAR WITH THESE AIRBAGS, I AM NOT ONLY GOING AFTER HONDA AND TAKATA, BUT THE REGULATORS. YOU ALL NEED TO BE MAKING SURE PEOPLE ARE SAFE. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE IMPACTED BY THIS. YOU ALL NEED TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER DO A COMPLETE INSPECTION ON ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE AIRBAGS!

I HAD TO REPAIR A KNOWN HEADLIGHT ISSUE FOR 2003 CIVICS. THE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON DIM, AND THE WIRES HAD COMPLETELY MELTED AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL INFORMATION FOR AFFECTED CIVICS. MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL. ALSO, MY GEAR SELECTOR CAN BE ACCIDENTALLY PLACED INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT PRESSING A BRAKE OR BUTTON ON THE KNOB. FOR EXAMPLE, MY DAUGHTER REACHED TO CHANGE THE RADIO STATION, AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE GEAR SELECTOR. THE CAR SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) WITHOUT PRESSING OF BREAK OR BUTTON. WE WERE IN MOTION, AND AT FIRST, I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, AND I LOOKED DOWN TO REALIZE IT HAD BEEN PLACED INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2003 BRAND NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER.

THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING, WHERE IT PROTRUDES FROM THE FUEL TANK, IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS FROM WHICH GASOLINE IS OOZING. THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE LEAKING IS SUBSTANTIAL, AND IT COLLECTS IN THE DEPRESSION AROUND THE HOUSING. THIS IS AN APPARENT FIRE HAZARD, AS WELL AS A SOURCE OF GASOLINE EVAPORATION AIR POLLUTION. WHILE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART ONLINE, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN HONDA CIVIC'S. BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT MAY NOT BE READILY OBSERVABLE BY THE OWNER, IT IS LIKELY TO GO UNDETECTED AND THEREFORE UNREPAIRED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, THUS CREATING A LONGTERM POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND AIR POLLUTION RISK.
